High Performance Gets Personal
With four convenient pre-programmed settings and two container sizes, the S55 delivers the versatility of a
high-performance blender in a compact size.
Explore your
Personal Blending Cookbook
to find dozens of healthy, whole-food recipes, as well as a few
indulgences for special occasions. The Kitchen Basics section offers techniques that will help simplify meal
prep, including how to chop, whip, purée, and more.
Create a variety of recipes for enjoying at home or taking on the go.
Beverages to Go
is written specifically for
the 20-ounce container-turned-travel-cup. With other sections including
Dressings, Soups, Sauces,
and
Frozen
Desserts
, you’ll find the perfect dish for every course of every meal.
We’ve made it easier than ever to get started. Four pre-programmed settings take the guesswork out of
processing times, automatically shutting off when the cycle has completed. Icons pictured in each recipe will
help you quickly identify which program and container size are recommended for the task at hand.
Because the features of the S55 make it unlike any other Vitamix blender, we ask that you read and
understand the following Getting Started guide and this owner’s manual before your first use.
