USING THE VACUUM PUMP Applying a vacuum pressure within the blender jug before blending green smoothies and vegetable dips can enhance flavours, change the texture and improves the overall taste experience. We do not recommend using the Vacuum Pump for all blending processes. For example, dairy based mixes taste better with air bubbles. Also, if your food doesn’t have a liquid element – herbs, spices, or nuts, for example - vacuum blending will not have a noticeable impact. 1.
