Vitamix Australia and New Zealand have announced the launch of the new Personal Cup Adapter (PCA) designed to expand the convenience and accessibility of a full-size Vitamix® machine.
Made to pair with the Vitamix® Explorian blender range, the Personal Cup Adapter expands the accessory range with an adapter and two 600ml blending cups with travel lids, allowing users to take their single-serve recipes with them on the go, transforming a full-size Vitamix into a personal blender. Blend just the right amount and avoid food waste.
The 600ml cups are the optimal size for individual portions in a portable design and small-scale recipes, such as dips, dressings, spreads, smoothies and more, creating the ideal serving size every time. The Dual-Purpose container becomes a travel cup with a leak-proof lid for confidence in every blend and BPA-free double-insulated material to maintain cold temperatures.
The laser-cut blades are crafted from the same hardened stainless steel as full-size Vitamix containers, with the same strength and capabilities that deliver better blends and longer life. The containers can even do a dry blend that’s perfect for creating rubs and seasonings. The attachments are top-rack dishwasher safe to make clean-up quick and convenient.
“We are delighted to be expanding our Explorian Series accessory range with the Personal Cup Adaptor in Australia and New Zealand, giving on-the-go convenience with the performance power of a full-sized Vitamix, and less food waste”, said Melissa Lyras, Vitamix Brand Manager at Fackelmann Housewares.
The Personal Cup Adaptor adds the convenience of a personal blender to your full-size Vitamix® machine. The individual portion size of the 600ml cup lets you blend just the right amount and avoid food waste. See below a couple of recipes to try out at home.
