Boost your health and that of the environment by making your favorite smoothie at home using the CIA™ Professional Series by Vita-Mix^®. According to Mintel Reports, smoothie consumption has increased more than 80 percent in the last five years, with more than $2 billion of smoothies sold in 2007. But the carbon footprint of purchasing a pre-made smoothie at a store can be much higher than making a fresh smoothie at home from whole foods.

For the truly eco-conscious consumer, buying local produce and preparing smoothies at home is a satisfying way to cut back on your carbon footprint to create a more sustainable future. As we head into summer in Manhattan, we are so excited about the wonderful seasonal fruits and how boring it would be to just eat them plain, rather than blended up! Introducing the CIA Professional Series!!! With more power, control and options than ordinary blenders, this makes it easy to quickly create delicious smoothies, from a heart-healthy Blueberry Apple Smoothie with grapes, apples, blueberries and soy milk, or a peach-inspired creation that is a refreshing summertime treat. Whom You Know has tried and tested this fabulous creation and we believe it is the BEST BLENDER IN MANHATTAN, AND THE BEST BLENDER ON THE MARKET ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW. It operates how you would expect a blender to, but it delivers results that are extraordinary. You will not believe what you can do! Peachy Deegan is starting to think it is not as hard as she thought to be a chef...! If you have the right tools, of course!

The CIA Professional Series lets you choose your ingredients and put your health in your own hands. With its super-efficient 2-peak horsepower motor, it just takes a few seconds processing to unlock the goodness of whole foods. Create your own smoothie recipe, or use one of the many available atwww.theprofessionalseries.com, such as the anti-oxidant-rich Berry Delicious Smoothie, or a Green Veggie Cocktail, jam-packed with energy boosting nutrients. We love the completely comprehensive Recipe Book that accompanies the binder. From sauces to desserts, to dressings, marinades and raw food, the endless culinary opportunities will excite you to no end all summer! Two recipe books are included with every purchase: Recipes and Techniques from the CIA Master Chefs and Create, offering more than 300 recipes.

Fresher taste is a bonus in addition to a lower carbon footprint. When you use the CIA Professional Series at home, your smoothie does not involve shipping fruit to a factory for mass production and packaging, following by shipping to a warehouse and/or retail store. You can pick fresh fruit and enjoy a homemade smoothie in seconds.

The BPA-free 64-ounce copolyester container accommodates various amounts of ingredients, and the laser-cut stainless steel blades cut and pulverize foods for consistent results, without any lumps. The continuous variable speed dial gives you greater control, and the patented accelerator tool helps ensure hard-to-blend ingredients are blended or pureed to perfection.

Beyond Smoothies, the CIA Professional series can prepare dips, sauces, pesto, purees, butters, dressings, batters, desserts, beverages and more. Whom You Know Highly Recommends the CIA Professional Series!!!

The CIA Professional Series by Vita-Mix has a suggested retail price of $499. It is available in Onyx, Ruby and a Brushed Stainless finish. It is sold at specialty and online retailers nationwide including Sur La Table (www.surlatable.com, 800-243-0852) or Chef’s Catalog (www.chefscatalog.com or 800-884-2433).

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
