      SUPER SIMPLE
      steam the carrots and potatoes until soft. (note: You can scale the recipe, but make sure you have room in your vitamix. )<\/p>\n

      Put everything in the Vitamix (and note – if you have a metal container, you might want to use it… the plastic works fine, but the turmeric wills stain it…)<\/p>\n

      Blend until smooth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      Enjoy!!<\/p>\n
