55 Unique Recipes Made With a Blender

If you saw my post last week about using a blender as a grain mill, I introduced my new favorite appliance – (sent for free, opinions all my own) the Ninja Ultima Blender. It’s such an awesome tool to have in the kitchen, especially because it can take the place of several other appliances. If you have a large kitchen, this might not be a big deal, but if you are an apartment-dweller…well, you know the importance of maximizing your space.

The Ninja Ultimate Blender is very comparable to top leading blenders, such as the Vitamix or BlendTec but is available for a fraction of the price. Although I’ve never owned one of the other blenders, I’ve seen plenty of Costco demonstrations, and I don’t think they can really do anything that the Ninja can’t. Here are a few of the specs of the Ninja Ultima Blender (per Amazon):

• 150 Watt, 2.5 Horsepower – beyond professional blade speed and performance.
• Total Crushing Technology — can take on ice, whole fruits and vegetables, grains, etc.
• High Speed Cyclonic Technology
• Pro Variable Speed — it has 10 speed options (plus pulse.)
• Includes 3 single serve cups. Great for smoothies, dressings, and even soup!
• BPA Free and Dishwasher safe
• Nutrient and Vitamin Extraction — makes your food more nutritious!

We’ve been using it for a little over a month now, and I really recommend it to anyone who wants a professional grade blender. It’s around $200, but it should last a very long time!

I thought it would be fun to share a bunch of unique recipes made with a blender — you know, beyond the typical smoothie. There’s sweet and savory recipes, and I personally can’t wait to try them. Let me know which one looks the best to you!
