My favorite thing to make in a blender right now is your cherry, blueberry and cacao smoothie recipe but the thing I make the most here lately is spinach, applesauce, and banana muffins. It is the only way I can get my two year old twins to eat any vegetables!
Mango, strawberry, banana and spinach smoothies were a game changer for me. I tried and failed to get my toddler to eat spinach in a variety of ways and finally found that I could throw a ton of spinach in a fruit smoothie, and she’d happily drink it. The smoothies also make great popsicles in the summer!
I love to make a coconut carrot ginger soup inspired by one I tried at a local vegan restaurant … would be so much easier if I had a Vitamix to heat it up in and didn’t have to transfer from the blender to a pot!
Fruit and yogurt smoothies every morning for my kids!
Gazpacho during the summer with tomatoes from the farmers markets is a must! Butternut squash soup during the winter months. And of course green smoothies for breakfast everyday.
Homemade pesto! One of my favorite pesto recipes substitutes pistachios for the traditional pine nuts- perfect for pizza!
Carrot ginger soup, kiwi strawberry spinach smoothies, and butternut squash rutabaga puree! getting hungry!!!
My favorite favorite FAVORITE blended recipe is a kalamata olive tapenade. Actually its more of an aioli, but it is delicious and I put it on everything, but this stuff on warm, fresh bread is heaven. You basically just throw all the ingredients in the blender (or in my case a hand me down nutribullet), refrigerate for 30 minutes and voila! 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 1 pinch black pepper, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, 1⁄2 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, peeled, 3 or 4 leaves fresh basil, 1 cup light mayonnaise. Just thinking about it has made me decide that I need to whip some up tonight.
Sauces! Pesto, chimichurri, hollandaise, mayo.
Nice cream with banana and mango!
Smoothies! Banana, berries and yogurt or spinach, banana, dates and cashew milk.
Hummus, soup, smoothies…all of it!
Berry smoothies, banana “soft serve,” and cheeses cauliflower soup. Yum!
Hummus! I’ve perfected my recipe and blend up a batch weekly to keep in the house.
Vegetarian chili
Definitely smoothies! (Although I had an amazing sundried tomato pesto the other day on a tempeh sandwich.) A go-to recipe for me is 1 c almond milk, 1 banana, 1 big handful of spinach, 1 T almond butter, 1 t chia seeds, 1/4 t cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Today I left out the spinach and added vanilla protein powder and strawberries though.
I love making your minty green shamrock smoothies 🙂
Salsa, smoothie bowls, pesto
blenders make the best banana ice cream 🙂
A miso sauce that triples as salad dressing, marinade, and a cooked sauce.
