My favorite blended recipe sounds kind of funny, but it’s SO GOOD. Basically it’s a pesto made with strawberries and blended with fresh basil and oil. Then you add it to pasta with chopped cucumber and more fresh basil. I got the recipe from Daily Garnish … it’s so unique and refreshing!
Slushy Fruit Vodka somethings 🙂
Favorite blended recipe is a smoothie! Especially now as the weather is getting warmer, we love to blend fruits and vegetables with rice milk (my husband is lactose intolerant and allergic to almonds) to make a sweet and satisfying dish. And it’s something our 11 month old can enjoy with us!
I love making hollandaise sauce in the blender!
My favorite blender recipe is any blended soup. I almost always start with a basic mirepoix in olive oil or butter. Then depending on the veg, may add some sliced or large chunked garlic (no chopping required since it’s all going in a blender). If I want to go Indian in flavor, I will add some combination of curry powder, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and or turmeric. I add a quart of water and then whatever veg I have on hand. Simmer for 10-15 minutes till veggies are soft and into the blender they go. If I want fresh herbs, I will ad them at the puree stage to keep the flavor bright and fresh. Quick and easy soup for any day of the week. For enhanced veggie flavor, I might a couple of veg bouillon cubes or use veg stock or broth.
Cauliflower soup!
Morning power smoothies!
I love to blend coconut milk, kale, protein powder, banana, mango, matcha green tea powder and an apple for my breakfast
I do a lot of smoothies in my blender. But my favorite go-to recipe using my blender is a blender salsa. I just throw in a can of stewed tomatoes (such great flavor in a salsa), some cilantro, green onions, jalopeno, garlic, canned diced green chili, salt and pepper, and pulse a few times. Best salsa ever!
My favorite is the Glowing Green Smoothie. Great recipe to amp up greens for glowing skin. I definitely see a difference after a week 🙂
I love to make a faux Alfredo sauce for pasta dishes, and I make cashew sour cream all the time. It’s so easy, and it’s great if you can’t or don’t eat dairy. We go through a lot of cashews, and I just bought a case of tofu for puddings and salad dressings.
I love the creamy white bean and tomato soup! Even though it’s (finally) warming up here in Austin I still eat it almost once a month.
would love a vitamix to replace my ancient blender….. nut butters, nut milks, pestos……
Blended smoothies with spinach/kale, spirulina, ground barley, coconut water, blueberries, banana, and any fruit that is in season.
Banana, spinach, pumpkin, almond butter, and cacao smoothie with a dash of cinnamon and pink himalayan salt, blended with homemade almond milk!
My favorite blended recipe is vegan nacho cheese with cashews, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and nutritional yeast ! I put it on top of everything — veggie burgers, nachos, baked potatoes, tacos, etc.
I would use the blender to make large batches of the dressings, specifically for the radicchio cups recipe! I jut made it and it was amazing! Feta + quinoa add a nice flavor.
My favorite blended recipe is a chicory root latte with almond butter, chlorella and coconut milk. It is a killer replacement for people weaning themselves off caffeine!
I so want a Vitamix. I would make smoothies, soups and nut butters first.
What a giveaway!!! Very kind of you. I definitely enjoy your soups! There’s not a bad recipe in the bunch:)
