Even if you don’t already own a Vitamix, you’ve likely heard of the power of these blenders. Vitamix seems to be the gold standard for blenders, and for a good reason! I recently reviewed the Vitamix E310 Explorian Series Blender and was happy to report that this smaller and more cost effective blender is just as amazing as the original Vitamix. Now I’m back to report on the new Vitamix Personal Cup Adaptor.

Vitamix Personal Cup Adaptor Review

I’ve been using this personal cup adaptor for more than just a personal smoothie. With three smoothie loving boys in the house it’s not often that I’m able to make a smoothie just for myself. That’s why I love that you can do more than just make smoothies with the personal cup adaptor.

The Vitamix Personal Cup Adaptor is the perfect size for making your own nut butters too! Jackson has enjoyed helping me make our own chocolate peanut butter for dipping apples- get this simple recipe at the end of the post.

You can pretty much make anything you want in the Vitamix Personal Cup Adaptor just on a smaller scale. I love using it to decrease our food waste by throwing in odds and ends of fruits and veggies from the week.

Tips for Using a Vitamix Personal Cup Adaptor

• Personal cup is travel friendly and machine washable- so no need to transfer to a new cup.
• Follow the directions in the getting started guide so you won’t overfill the cup- I learned this the hard way.
• Start with recipes in the getting started guide so you can get used to the ingredient proportions.
• For use with Vitamix Classic machines only: 5200, 5300, 6300, 6500, 7500, 780, Aspire Series, Creations Series, Professional Series, Total Nutrition Center, TurboBlend Series, Explorian Series. Not compatible with Vitamix Ascent™ Series machines.

How to Make Your Own Nut Butter with the Vitamix Personal Cup Adaptor

While I love love love my full size Vitamix, I sometimes dislike how big it is for small batches of things like peanut butter. The personal cup adaptor is just the right size!

Have you ever made your own peanut butter before? It’s ridiculously easy. All you need is nuts and a little bit of oil. For this recipe we used peanuts, peanut oil, and chocolate chips because everything is better with chocolate, right?

Chocolate Peanut Butter Recipe

• 1 C of honey roasted peanuts
• 1/2 C of chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp peanut oil

Place all ingredients in the Vitamix Personal Cup Adaptor and slowly bring the speed to 10. You may need to pause to wipe under the blades and the sides of the cup. Keep going until for 2-3 minutes or until the peanuts are the consistency of nut butter.
