8en 0reati%e 5ays to Ese Tour (lender
Ah, the blender. The quintessential summer appliance. In
the mornings, it gets you ready for the day the right way with
healthy superfood smoothies, like this one, made with kale
and cherries. At the cookout, its by your side, mixing up the
pina coladas or frozen daiquiris to please. It stuns your
dinner guests with refreshing tomato gazpacho. Its your
sous-chef at the backyard barbecue, your partner-in-crime
at cocktail parties. And in the thick of bumper crop produce,
it smiles from its spot on the counter with a silent but
reassuring Dont worry Ive got your back.
Today, we celebrate our summertime superhero with ten
cool, creative ways to use your blender. For those of us who
see the blender as the smoothie machine, get ready for us
to blow your mind. For those of us who have been using the
blender for more than just milkshakes since the 20th
century, consider this a roadmap through you and your old
friends shared past. However you use your blender, were
here to give you a guide to your Vitamix Vigilante, your
Cuisinart Companion, or your Magic Bullet Buddy.
1. Smoothies and Milkshakes
Of course. A blender roundup couldnt be complete without a
blended drink! Theres nothing like a big, frothy milkshake
with lots of ice cream or a fruity smoothie complete with a
frozen banana to make you feel like a kid again. We have a
two-for-one special here today: a dairy-free kids Honey
Bear smoothie by Courtney of NeighborFood, and a grown-
ups boozy take on a banana cream pie milkshake by
Claire of The Realistic Nutritionist. Drink your way back to
childhood with these two tasty treats!
2. Lassi
Indias version of a smoothie, lassi is a sweet, creamy drink
made by combining yogurt, honey, aromatic spices and
fruits in you guessed it the blender. Shana of Pineapple
and Coconut makesher lassi with mint, saffron and
cardamom for a fragrant, addictive summer elixir.
3. Cocktails
Its time for a NoshOn.It redux! The list of cocktails that can
be made in a blender is endless, but margaritas are the fan-
favorite to which we always return specifically, Jackie of
Domestic FitsStrawberry Sriracha Margarita. We featured
Jackies margarita for Cinco de Mayo, but its such a genius
summer drink, we decided to bring it back.
4. Salsa
Whats a summer party without a bowl of fresh salsa? Your
blender can help you make salsa smooth and silky, while
still flavorful. Try out Corelyn and Jennie of Garlic My
Souls classic red salsa, or for a little twist, Morgan of For
Reals Life combines cucumber and tomatillo for a crisp and
refreshing take on salsa verde.
5. Hummus and Dip
A high-quality blender is the secret to making ultra-creamy dips for game day or happy hour.
Hummus is a classic for scooping with pita chips, slathering on celery or spreading on
sandwiches, and Diana of Appetite for China makes hers with a Sriracha twist.
6. Soup
Gazpacho, the classic Spanish tomato soup served cold, is a classic blender entree. We love
cold soups (as you can see here)! Theyre perfect summer dinners or hot day lunches, and
theyre a super quick and easy way to utilize fresh produce. Steve of Oui, Chef makes a
beautiful gazpacho the way we like it with lots of ripe tomatoes and garlic.
7. Hollandaise
Ever tried to make hollandaise? Its no easy feat. But theres nothing like Sunday morning and
eggs benedict with homemade hollandaise. Now, theres no reason to be afraid of this tricky
sauce. John of Kitchen Riffs offers two recipes for hollandaise (one to be made in the blender,
one without) so you can pick your favorite and learn to master brunch once again.
8. Ice Cream
Ice cream makers are pricy and making ice cream from scratch is time consuming but not with
your trusty blender! Heather of Making Life Delicious combines Frangelico and Nutella for her
droolworthy chocolate hazelnut blender gelato. But we can go even more simple try sticking
a frozen banana in a blender and boom: banana ice cream. See here.
9. Nut Butter
Get ready: Were about to blow your mind. You can make nut butter in the blender. We know. Its
crazy. Whats even crazier is that Izy of Top with Cinnamon created a Toasted Coconut-
Hazelnut Butter in the blender that might have you swearing off peanut butter altogether.
Spread this on toast, mix it into smoothies (like the one above), or heck, maybe just eat it with a
spoon, straight from the jar.
10. Mousse/Pudding
NoshOn.It Redux, part two! Avocados and cocoa, surprisingly enough, make for a creamy
chocolate dessert without the cream. We featured Katie of Produce on Parade and her Easy
Avocado Chocolate Mousse in May, and we decided to go for seconds. Katie uses a food
processor to make her mousse, but its just as easy to make in a blender, while staying creamy
and delicious. Its not often you can make mousse this delicious without dairy especially in a
blender.
