Blender Recipes
Blender recipes? For the longest time, I didn't know there was such a thing.
I’ve owned a blender for years, but at first I thought it was just for making smoothies. For most of the year, mine sat at the back of a cupboard.
Then I discovered the many other things that can be made with the help of this handy appliance:
- quick meals (breakfasts, lunches and suppers)
- soups
- dips
- dressings
- pies
- cakes
…and more!
Here are some of my favorite healthy blender recipes. They are designed for use with stationary, counter top blenders – not immersion blenders or hand mixers.
I hope you like them too!
Desserts
These blender desserts are so easy that you can whip up a tasty ending for your meal in a flash.
Banana Cottage Cheese Tofu Pie
is so nutritious that you could serve it for breakfast - but it's so sweet and delicious that you'll probably want to save it for dessert!
Cream Cheese Yogurt Pie
is a refreshing, no-bake pie that makes a perfect summer dessert.
Easy Pumpkin Mousse
is a colorful fall treat. It is especially delicious topped with whipped cream!
Blender Drink Recipes
Blenders are perfect for whipping up tasty and nutritious liquid snacks!
- My husband first bought a blender almost 20 years ago so that he could make
Smoothies.
They are still among our favorite summertime treats.
Sauces and Spreads
With a blender, you can make your own healthy condiments instead of buying processed sauces and spreads.
- Avocado-Salmon Spread
makes great sandwiches. It is also good on crackers.
- Homemade
Barbecue Sauce
is healthier, tastier and more economical than any prepared bottled sauce I've tried.
- With this
Blender Mayonnaise
recipe, you can easily make fresh mayo anytime you want it!
What to look for when purchasing a blender
There are a bewildering number of blenders on the market. I have just a standard, low tech kitchen blender and it works just fine with all of these blender recipes.
Here are the features I like:
- a glass container jar (rather than plastic)
Glass is easy to clean. Plastic tends to get scratched and discolored after a lot of use.
- a removable blade assembly
This too makes cleanup easy. These models have a rubber o-ring that fits between the body of the container and the base. The o-rings wear out, but are inexpensive and easy to find.
You've probably heard about the Magic Bullet Blender. It can't replace a regular blender, but it comes in handy for a variety of uses.
Here are my thoughts about the Magic Bullet Blender.
