Congrats on 1000 fans (now it’s far beyond that)! I don’t currently have a blender bc I had to sell mine for moving purposes, but I love blending soups in the blender, they come out so much smoother than in the food processor. I also enjoy making smoothies, pesto, sauces, and many more goodies!

Definitely smoothies! My favorite is strawberry maple. I don’t really have a recipe– I just throw in some frozen strawberries, a smidge of real maple syrup, a spoonful of yogurt, some ice cubes, a cup of water and a teaspoon of strawberry-kiwi powdered drink mix (or brand/flavor of your choice) per serving.
