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!

  14. 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.

  15. I like to make healthy drinks with veggies. Veggies are way easier to consume if you make a drink out of them.
