The Science of Vacuum Blending
No matter the type of vacuum blender you choose, it will have one definitive purpose - to remove oxygen from the blender jug before your ingredients are blended. Vitality 4 Life’s vacuum blenders rely on air pressure sensors to determine when all of the oxygen has been exhausted from your jug.
When air bubbles enter your ingredients during the blending process, your smoothie is prone to splitting, separating, and discolouring, especially if you’re preparing it for consumption at a later point. Ridding your jug of oxygen results in a smoothie that is more colourful, and flavoursome. Most importantly, the deep phytonutrients contained within your fruit and vegetables are retained and are made easier for your body to absorb.
Oxygen: There could be no life without oxygen, but unfortunately this all-important element does compromise the longevity of your food. People have been vacuum sealing solid foods for decades, and now Vitality 4 Life has a way of carrying the same principles across to smoothies.
Nutrients: Oxidation occurs when the chemicals in food come into contact with air. The nutrients in your food begin to degrade, and your produce gradually loses its vitality. By literally sucking the oxygen out of your blender jug, a Vitality 4 Life vacuum blender nullifies this process.
Taste: If you routinely make smoothies in the morning for later in the afternoon, this point will be especially relevant. When oxygen mingles with the contents of your blender, it hampers the taste of your final product. Removing oxygen from the equation will give you a smoothie that’s still delicious and fresh all those hours later.
Astro Vacuum Blender
Not only will the Astro Vacuum Blender remove oxygen from your jug before blending; it will seal your blended contents in a Vacuum Storage Container for on-the-go drinking. With nine speed settings and a pulse function, you can ensure refinement of the highest order. The blender jug is made from borosilicate glass and the blades are constructed from Japanese stainless steel, so you know the Astro will last for many years to come. Available in bronze and dark grey, the Astro has plenty of potential for mixing and matching with other small appliances.

Living Food Vacuum Blender
With a 1680-watt commercial-grade motor, the Living Food Vacuum Blender can pulverise even the toughest vegetables - skin, seeds, and all. Thanks to Enzyme Protection Technology, the blender will measure the heat inside the jug to ensure it doesn’t rise above 46 degrees Celsius and therefore lose its “raw food” classification. This unit comes with a Vacuum Blending Accessory for sucking oxygen from the lid of the jug. This means you can use the blender in standard high-performance mode for making soups and grinding nuts.
AirFree Vacuum Blender
The AirFree Vacuum Blender from BioChef is proof that new technology doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s a great starting point for someone making the transition from traditional blender to vacuum blender. A speed control dial and three preset programs will give you greater autonomy over your results. An advanced Japanese stainless steel blade system operates at 25,000 RPM to pulverise the sturdiest of ingredients. Included with the blender are a tumbler, storage containers, vacuum bags, and a wine stopper. These accessories allow you to use your blender to vacuum-seal fruits, nuts, and seeds. You can even salvage leftover wine.
