Vita-Mix behind the scenes at the Jason Mraz Concert- Cleveland, OH - August 18, 2009.
Mraz and crew use the Vita-Mix machine on tour!

We recently caught up with singer/songwriter, Jason Mraz on his tour stop through Cleveland Ohio. Did you know that Jason uses a Vita-Mix machine on tour? He does. In fact, we found out that Jason’s Vita-Mix machine gets quite a work out! Band members and the tour crew all use the Vita-Mix machine to make what they call “Green Drinks”. I am talking this is one serious looking green drink!  It was so dark in color!

We were invited to go backstage into camp Mraz to see just how
instrumental the Vita-Mix machine is in helping to keep the Mraz crew healthy and energized while on tour.

When we got to the “Vita-Mix” area, the Vita-Mix 5200 was already in use by Mraz’s keyboard player, Eric. He told us how much he loved the Vita-Mix and how he drinks several green drinks a day for energy.  Eric also told us that the Mraz crew also mixes in Vitamineral Green supplement powder with their smoothies. Eric told us that the power of the Vita-Mix is unbelievable. “I‘ve burned through several blenders with my smoothies, I’ve got to get one of these for my home, it’s really a powerful machine.”

Mraz is mostly vegetarian and told us he also will eat fish for lean protein. Green drinks are a huge part of Jason’s regimen. When we were introduced to Jason as being from Vita-Mix Corporation, Jason was so happy to meet us. He told us how much he relies on the Vita-Mix machine. He was very appreciative of the large smoothie mug we gave him. “This is some mug! Now I don’t have to fill up my glass several times!” he said jokingly. Jason uses the 64oz container to make an enormous serving of his favorite green drink every day.

Not only was Jason very down to earth and a pleasure to talk with, Wendy and I both though it was one fantastic performance by the highly regarded musician. Mraz is praised throughout the music industry for his unique sound, creative songwriting and entertaining live show that featured a full band including bongos, a horn section and several of instrument changes himself!
