Cashew cheeeeeese. Yes, yes, yes.
I love blended soups! One of my favorites uses carrots, red lentils, and Moroccan spices, though I am currently eating a blended black bean soup based heavily on a recipe I found on your site!
OOHH that Vitamix is a dream! I love making soups and vegan cheese (I’m looking into transitioning to vegan) I think a Vitamix would do the job perfectly.

My favorite recipe to blend is my homemade marinara sauce! It takes less than ten minutes and is easily adjustable for different serving sizes! All I do is saute compari tomatoes, kalamata olives, green bell pepper, onion, garlic and a secret ingredient 😉 once it is fragrant and warm I throw it in, blend and serve immediately over zucchini noodles, chicken or veggies! I chose to blend this mixture because in addition to the warmth the sauteeing brings to my sauce, blending it makes it hot and ready to serve! I would enjoy experimenting with the vitamix 🙂 follow me on _littlemissfoodie on instagram!
Homemade avocado mayonnaise. Yum!
Berry Smoothie!
My favorite thing I make in my blender is a butternut and apple soup. Butternut is usually more of a fall veggie but the apple makes it fresh, and I really like to cook it in the spring!
