Carrot Gazpacho 🙂 It would be so nice.
I couldn’t decide between two: the Minty Green Shamrock Shake Smoothie (all of the joy of childhood and none of the guilt) and the “Creamy” Sundried Tomato Soup (a favorite lunch staple of mine). SO amazing!
I have to say, it would be awesome to have a blender that didn’t explode every time I hit “blend”… 😉
I haven’t had a blender in forever so I’ve been using the food processor which is both good and bad. I have a great roasted red pepper sauce for stuffed poblano chilis that I love. It would be nice to make it really smooth. The processor leaves it a little chunkier than I’d like.
My everyday green smoothie – spinach, celery, cucumber, green apple, banana and/or yogurt, coconut almond milk, chia seeds, almond butter, cinnamon, and a splash of apple cider vinegar
Delicious, refreshing smoothie to wake up with every morning!
Sweet Potato & Pear Soup w/ Sage! This recipe is simple, yet delicious. It packs some serious flavor without being weighed down with heavy cream.
Favorite blend is the simplest – banana ice cream! Frozen banana and coconut milk – with shredded coconut on top after blending. Quick and easy and healthy and delicious – just like all your recipes!
Love making smoothies, grating cheese, making all kinds of soups.I think my all time favorite is hummus…any kind!!! My husbands favorite is making peanut butter. Vitamix will make it all so much easier!!!
Any salad dressing. Especially with silken tofu or cashews. Yum. Fooled even the most diehard fat-i-tarians!
My favorite blend is a sauce for veggies: lemon, tahini, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, pepper flakes, warm water-Yum!

Curry!! I’ve made homemade curry that requires cooking down tomatoes and spices and then blending the stew for a sauce with a smooth consistency.
Although, I don’t own a food processor or immersion blender, so I use my blender for just about everything!
Love the vitamix for making the smoothest pureed roasted red pepper for my muhammara dip. Also for grinding soaked rice and dal for S. Indian dosas.
Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup! (with grilled cheese on the side of course…)
My favorite is cocoa mousse
1 avocado
1/4 c. agave
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa
1/4 c. almond milk
1 t vanilla
1 t instant espresso or coffee {optional}
Blend and chill!……..Yummy
Smoothies. Smoothie. Smoothies!
Favorite blend is pesto : basil, parm, walnuts, olive oil, and a tiny touch of truffle oil:)
I make my son smoothies. He’s 32 and disabled and lives with me. He’s very picky and doesn’t eat the most nourishing foods. So I make this with honey, oats, yogurt, banana, spinach, frozen mixed berries and coconut milk. It’s the one thing he loves and I feel better knowing he has some good stuff going in:)
Thai spiced coconut and almond butter sauce! 1/3 cup almond butter, 1/3 cup coconut milk, tablespoon curry paste and tablespoon soy sauce. Finish with cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime. So good on soba or rice noodles with any veggies tossed in! Tastes amazing warm or cold!
Smoothies! Especially some healthy ones for the kids.
We love making fresh cashew and almond milks! We also make protein shakes daily and make lots of soups! Our current blender us about to go so we’ve been using an immersion blender lately.
