No more tofu scramble or pumpkin pancakes. Making a green smoothie each morning saves me time, gives me an energy boost, adds water to my diet, decreases dirty dishes and ensures that I fit fruits and veggies into my busy schedule. Green smoothies have changed my day. Every day.

A Vita Mix hasn’t always been in my budget but I want one terribly! I use my good ole fashion Dutch Oven to make my favorite soup, Split Pea with Ham. 🙂
I just started making smoothies every morning. I have a cheap blender and usually have a chunky smoothie. Sometimes it’s hard to drink what I make but I’m trying! Usually do spinach, banana and sometimes a mango or cucumber.
I love making chocolate avocado mousse! Just avocados, cacao and a dash of honey!

Roasted asparagus, sweet potatoes, & onion with fresh vegetable broth to create consistency you want. Run through Vitamix until HOT. Makes a wonderful soup/appetizer.

I haven’t made too many blended recipes. I used to do this smoothie with spinach, peanut butter, matcha, banana, coconut milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and chia seeds. So good! Recently made the parsnip and white bean soup from your cookbook, though, and LOVED it. I had it for lunch for days.

My favorite recipe to blend is my homemade marinara sauce! It takes less than ten minutes and is easily adjustable for different serving sizes! All I do is saute compari tomatoes, kalamata olives, green bell pepper, onion, garlic and a secret ingredient 😉 once it is fragrant and warm I throw it in, blend and serve immediately over zucchini noodles, chicken or veggies! I chose to blend this mixture because in addition to the warmth the sauteeing brings to my sauce, blending it makes it hot and ready to serve! I would enjoy experimenting with the vitamix 🙂 follow me on _littlemissfoodie on instagram!
Homemade avocado mayonnaise. Yum!
Berry Smoothie!
My favorite thing I make in my blender is a butternut and apple soup. Butternut is usually more of a fall veggie but the apple makes it fresh, and I really like to cook it in the spring!

Green smoothies!
I toast sesame seeds, then puree them with egg yolks, mustard and vinegar for the most delicious salad dressing. I put it on baby kale with some salt and pepper and it is divine. My friend Dan who owned DABA in Hudson, NY turned me on to it.
My favorite blended recipe are sauces- especially cheezy ones with cashews for pasta.
I’m fairly new to vegan cooking and found your blog over the weekend. I am so excited about all of the lovely recipes and just ordered your book. I can’t wait until it gets here! The first recipe I tried was your healthy loaded vegan nachos. We were blown away! I would definitely say creamy, cheesy blended sauces are a favorite.
My current blended favorite is a Chocolate Avocado smoothie – chocolate protein powder, spinach, avocado, cocoa powder and almond milk. So delicious!
Wrong email – .com not .con 😉

It’s so pretty!
I thought blenders were created to make margaritas….
Sweet Potato Protein Shake!
Cashew cheese!
Definitely my morning smoothies!
Smoothies are definitely my favorite, but I love to make a nice “creamy” blended soup! I like to use white beans to get a creamy-consistency.
Smoothies are my every day morning go to but the creamy tomato white bean soup was probably one of my favorite blender soups so far. Cashew sauce is pretty tasty too. Yum!
kombucha smoothies!
Beet and Strawbery Lemon Smoothie is my absolute favorite!
Your creamy sundried tomato soup is my absolute favorite. It’s become my go-to comfort food.
OOHH that Vitamix is a dream! I love making soups and vegan cheese (I’m looking into transitioning to vegan) I think a Vitamix would do the job perfectly.
I will have to get your cookbook asap – there are so many recipes I want to try!
I love blended soups! One of my favorites uses carrots, red lentils, and Moroccan spices, though I am currently eating a blended black bean soup based heavily on a recipe I found on your site!
Cashew cheeeeeese. Yes, yes, yes.
I have loved following your blog for a while now. I tend to make the entire recipe, and enjoy it for dinner and then lunch the next day! I’m a big advocate for your blog in the lunchroom ;). Oh – and I love gazpacho soup in the Vitamix!
I love blending zucchini, celery, spices, lemons, limes, and almond butter together for a nice creamy sauce! So yummy!

I LOVE the cherry, blueberry, and cocao powder smoothie that you posted a while back in your “Rainbow Breakfast Smoothies” post – I make it just about every weekend. Delicious!
Roasted Tomato Soup!
Soups! All kinds.
I blend some ingredients for stuffed shells (since I don’t have a food processor)! filling is ricotta, spinach, garlic, chives, parm, egg.

I’m late to the game, but I love acai bowls these days!

The chocolate avocado smoothie and anything filled with greens and yummy citrus!
My fav blended recipe is your shamrock shake smoothie!! absolutely love the minty refreshing blend
Gosh! I have got to say that I am a huge fan of pesto. Basil pesto, arugula pesto, decadent pesto with a smidgen of cheese or hazelnut, sky’s the limit. Then using them on roasted veggies or pasta or a dipping sauce. Goodness. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. 🙂
It’s a toss-up between healthy smoothies and killer vegan queso. Life’s all about balance ;).
Hollandaise Sauce
OH my gosh.. I was just talking about how I would love a Vitamix to replace my blender! My favorite recipes are definitely morning smoothies… I love your Matcha Kale & Peach smoothie. Currently we use a blender, I can only imagine how much better it would be in a Vitamix!!!!
That’s easy – I love ice cream, so Banana ice “cream” with peanutbutter and maybe some chocolate chips it is.
Coconut milk and smoothies!
Any smoothy where I can add cacao! Love the post work out smoothy I make with chia seed, hemp powder, fruit, coconut/almond milk, ginger, kale, frozen banana, and cacao. Yum.
i have this one smoothie that i love to make once summer comes around. it is packed full with ingredients, but so wonderful for cleaning out the digestive system and feeling clean & fresh in the summer. it includes :: strawberries, blueberries, mango, spinach, kale, bananas, hemp powder, oats, and of course, water. or, if i am feeling like i want something sweet, i will just do :: bananas, blueberries, cacao powder, and water ( and a touch of spinach to include those nutrients but not taste it too much ).
Our morning smoothie made with rice milk, hemp seed, yogurt, bananas, and a mixture of frozen fruits.
My favorite recipe is a blueberry & carrot smoothie with tons of spinach and coconut milk!
Great giveaway! I’m on a coconut chocolate cashew smoothie kick recently. Like having a milkshake in the morning 🙂
I’m crazy about your superfood sunshine smoothie. The ginger gives it just the right amount of kick. It is a great boost to the start of my day!
I love all your soups! I usually use an immersion blender for soups, but would love to try them out in a Vitamix!!
My favorite blended recipe is spicy gazpacho. Such a great, hearty summer night meal!
Tomato soup
My favorite thing is more of a memory because they don’t make the mix anymore. One of my childhood best friend’s mother always made these shakes for us in the blender on a hot summer day. They were some shake mix with a little milk and some ice and they were awesome! My friend has since passed away, but there isn’t a time when I don’t think about those shakes we always had together.
soups! especially butternut squash!
When we had a blender (it broke last month) the kids liked to make their own sauce for homemade pizza’s .
They would take tomatoes,garlic,pine nuts,spinach,parsley,olives,roasted red and green peppers, olive oil and some spices and blend it all together to make the sauce.
Almond “ricotta” is my favorite blender recipe!
My morning Smoothie, Peanut butter, almond milk, flax seed, cashews and dates.
yum yum yum
I am currently a fan of the classic banana – almond milk, and also but add a scoop of pea protein powder, a scoop of fiber and 1 tsp of flax oil, so it holds me for 4 hours until lunch.
In peach season, i will definitely switch to the peach, ginger.
My absolute favorite thing to make is gazpacho! It is soup in minutes!
Hi – I’m Emma and I’m a soup-a-holic. It’s not just a phase I’m going through during the cold winter months here in Vermont, I LOVE and am OBSESSED with really great soups. So when a friend gave me the link to your blog a year ago, I have to say, I’m in love with the Roasted Cauliflower and Leek soup that you shared and make it often. I was just researching the difference between the Vitamix and another blender, and came away thinking that I would wait to invest in the Vitamix. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us, which in return, makes us look good when we cook!
I make preserved tomatoes in the summer (Ann Willan recipe) and use them for soup. Add some fresh basil, cream or milk and salt. Blend it all up and add a small scoop of fresh goat cheese in the bottom of the cup.
Creamy tomato gazpacho and pesto
an awesome almond cilantro onion cumin mixture for a braised Indian chicken dish.
just made one of your spectacular salads for a big group (Passover seder) — they loved it. thanks for the vegan substitution for the fresh mozzarella —
Smoothies are a given but I really enjoy making soup – specifically butternut squash soup. And then I top each bowl with matchstick granny smith apples and candied ginger! Yum! I have not purchased your cookbook yet but I love your blog so it looks like my library is about to get a new friend!
I love a spring pea soup that is so smooth and creamy once blended. Delicious!
Peanut Butter
Smoothie Bowls! Overnight oats, greens, milk, banana and cinnamon
My favorite recipe to make with a blender is the creamy tortilla soup. But since our major cross-country move (in which we had to purge a lot of our kitchen goods) I haven’t been able to make it!
We have started making smoothies of all kinds. I’m getting some good ideas from the comment section here.
I have recently become vegan, and having a Vitamix would be great for processing cashews for the creamy recipes. Right now I have a big bag of cashews, but I scratch my head when approaching how to best make them smooth with the limited tools I have!
My favorite blended recipe is not from the cookbook and is not a standard blended recipe. I make a really good chocolate cheesecake with a raspberry puree marbleized top. To make the raspberry puree I blend the raspberries in a blender and add some sugar. This makes it nice and thick.
Love my green smoothies. Lots of kale and spinach with frozen cherries and coconut water.
I haven’t jumped on the smoothie bandwagon, but my old Waring blender can still crank out pesto, gazpacho and my new favorite: roasted red pepper & smoked gouda soup. This copper Vitamix is beautiful!
My favorite blended recipe is an asparagus soup. A little onion and garlic sautéed with olive oil, a bunch of asparagus and stock to cover. Simmer until the asparagus is bright green. Purée. Add a slash of lemon juice. Serve hot.
I’m new to your blog and excited about your cookbook—can’t wait to pick up a copy at my local indie store after work. My favorite blended recipe is your Chocolate Almond Breeze Smoothie. Such a yummy, satisfying vegan treat.
My favourite thing is pesto. I love pesto. Then probably smoothies.
I love my roasted red pepper and sun dried tomato soup!
I love homemade salad dressings
Smoothies definitely. But good to make tomato sauce out of home grown heirloom and bottled tomatoes!
I love blending soaked raw cashews for sauces and salad dressings. Especially lemon tahini garlic dressing. Goes so well with creamy blended raw cashews!
I love all the inspiring blended recipes on Love and Lemons. My go-to in the blender is making fresh herb salad dressings and pesto!
Soups. Fast, easy, and so good! I also love the peach/ginger smoothie from the Love and Lemons cookbook. Ginger always makes me happy!
Sauces and smoothies and soups and anything else I can think of.
I recently made a “cheesecake” with bananas and cashews, sweetened with honey and dates. The blender made it possile, but I had to do it in batches because my blender isnt that powerful. It turned out yummy, on a pressed date and walnut crust. I set up in the freezer.
My favorite is a butternut squash soup with maple sausage. It’s so yummy!!
I love smoothies with lots of spinach!
My favorite blended recipe is a golden milk smoothie made with low fat coconut milk (the canned variety), fresh grated nutmeg, ginger, a very small pinch of cayenne, and turmeric. It is soooo good and great for you!
This is an awesome blender! I’ve wanted one for forever lol
My fave blended recipe is a smoothie I make :
Frozen bananas, organic cocoa powder, peanut butter, chia seeds, & honey or maple syrup!
Easy & delicious!
Thank you for the chance to win!
Joey J.
I love soups! Carrot ginger, butternut apple, tomato basil! Endless possibilities!!!
My daily hot chocolate! Two dates, two tablespoons cacao powder, 1 cup hot water, 1/4 cup raw cashews. Blend away and enjoy!
Hemp seed dill dressing, soups, and cashew cheese…yum!
I’m loving green smoothies with the warmer temps. I usually add a frozen banana, frozen spinach, almond milk, ice cubes, peanut butter powder, and Vega chocolate protein powder, then add cacao nibs at the end for an extra chocolaty crunch. So good.
I have wanted a vitamix for so many years, but I just simply cannot afford one! I would make brazil nut milk first, I think. I heard it tastes like liquid cashmere.
I have a trust old blender at home now, but I wouldn’t dare fill her with nuts!
Summer is just around the corner, and I love making my mother’s Gazpacho recipe. She has sent me the recipe numerous times – but each summer I ask for it again because it’s kind of like tradition now.
My family not only loves the classic banana, Greek yogurt, lavender honey, raspberry, ice, & blueberry smoothie – they appreciate the nutritious benefits, beautiful color & person making it!
That matcha vanilla smoothie L & L introduced me to!
What a giveaway!!! Very kind of you. I definitely enjoy your soups! There’s not a bad recipe in the bunch:)
I so want a Vitamix. I would make smoothies, soups and nut butters first.
My favorite blended recipe is a chicory root latte with almond butter, chlorella and coconut milk. It is a killer replacement for people weaning themselves off caffeine!
I would use the blender to make large batches of the dressings, specifically for the radicchio cups recipe! I jut made it and it was amazing! Feta + quinoa add a nice flavor.
My favorite blended recipe is vegan nacho cheese with cashews, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and nutritional yeast ! I put it on top of everything — veggie burgers, nachos, baked potatoes, tacos, etc.
Banana, spinach, pumpkin, almond butter, and cacao smoothie with a dash of cinnamon and pink himalayan salt, blended with homemade almond milk!
Blended smoothies with spinach/kale, spirulina, ground barley, coconut water, blueberries, banana, and any fruit that is in season.
would love a vitamix to replace my ancient blender….. nut butters, nut milks, pestos……
I love the creamy white bean and tomato soup! Even though it’s (finally) warming up here in Austin I still eat it almost once a month.
I love to make a faux Alfredo sauce for pasta dishes, and I make cashew sour cream all the time. It’s so easy, and it’s great if you can’t or don’t eat dairy. We go through a lot of cashews, and I just bought a case of tofu for puddings and salad dressings.
My favorite is the Glowing Green Smoothie. Great recipe to amp up greens for glowing skin. I definitely see a difference after a week 🙂
I do a lot of smoothies in my blender. But my favorite go-to recipe using my blender is a blender salsa. I just throw in a can of stewed tomatoes (such great flavor in a salsa), some cilantro, green onions, jalopeno, garlic, canned diced green chili, salt and pepper, and pulse a few times. Best salsa ever!
I love to blend coconut milk, kale, protein powder, banana, mango, matcha green tea powder and an apple for my breakfast
Morning power smoothies!
Cauliflower soup!
My favorite blender recipe is any blended soup. I almost always start with a basic mirepoix in olive oil or butter. Then depending on the veg, may add some sliced or large chunked garlic (no chopping required since it’s all going in a blender). If I want to go Indian in flavor, I will add some combination of curry powder, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and or turmeric. I add a quart of water and then whatever veg I have on hand. Simmer for 10-15 minutes till veggies are soft and into the blender they go. If I want fresh herbs, I will ad them at the puree stage to keep the flavor bright and fresh. Quick and easy soup for any day of the week. For enhanced veggie flavor, I might a couple of veg bouillon cubes or use veg stock or broth.
I love making hollandaise sauce in the blender!
Favorite blended recipe is a smoothie! Especially now as the weather is getting warmer, we love to blend fruits and vegetables with rice milk (my husband is lactose intolerant and allergic to almonds) to make a sweet and satisfying dish. And it’s something our 11 month old can enjoy with us!
Slushy Fruit Vodka somethings 🙂
My favorite blended recipe sounds kind of funny, but it’s SO GOOD. Basically it’s a pesto made with strawberries and blended with fresh basil and oil. Then you add it to pasta with chopped cucumber and more fresh basil. I got the recipe from Daily Garnish … it’s so unique and refreshing!
What a great giveaway! I love making a ‘whole juice’ with green apple, spinach, lemon, and ginger. So tasty!
My favorite thing to whir up is a fresh, zingy pasta Sauce.
A few fresh heirloom tomatoes, roughly chopped
A handful of fresh basil
A couple cloves of freshly peeled garlic
A generous pinch of salt
A bit of white pepper
A bit of cayenne pepper
Blend till smooth. Pour over hot pasta. Enjoy it right down to the slurpy goodness that pools at the bottom of your bowl.
Lots and lots of smoothies. My current favorite is frozen banana, almond milk, cinnamon, and peanut butter. Such a decadent treat.
My favorite thing to make is a smoothie with beets, spinach, carrots, green apple, ginger, and lemon
My favorite blended recipe is when I combine roasted red peppers and roasted tomatoes to make a delicious creamy soup–without any cream! It is tasty and healthy.
I love that vitamix color! My favorite blended recipe to make is a traditional hummus. Yummy!
Green smoothies, or a butternut squash soup!
My favorite blended recipes are typically soup. I’ve found an apple cheddar butternut squash bisque that’s to die for! The carrot soup in your cookbook looks amazing!
Hi! One of my favorite blended recipes is a Carrot Ginger Tofu Soup. Very simple, quick recipe what includes things like carrots, onion, garlic, ginger and tofu. I swapped the chicken stock with veggie stock (Rapunzel Organic Powdered veggie broth which is great in a pinch if you don’t have homemade b/c you can measure out what you need so there’s no waste.) The soup is super creamy thanks to the tofu. My boyfriend said it was the best soup he’d ever had, better than any restaurant soup. He doesn’t typically like tofu so I “failed” to mention it was in there:) Now I can’t wait to try your roasted cauliflower and red pepper soup! Just received the cookbook as a gift and can’t wait to start cooking. Been making your recipes for years. They are my absolute faves and I’m not saying that to try and win a blender. Seriously, thank you for inspiring such delicious, healthy eating!
Been recently on a peanut butter and banana smoothie kick! A vitamix would be perfect!
My current favorite is blended coffee: hot coffee, coconut oil, cinnamon, cocoa and honey. Creamy and delicious w/out dairy!
Hemp seed dressings and cashew cheese!
Almond milk!
An avocado crema that my family begs me to make. Also thai peanut sauce(I could put that on anything.).Oh yes and cold sounds in the summer, especially a filled cucumber soup that has them swooning.
Blueberry – Peach Smoothie = Best Breakfast Ever! I’d love to be able to blend it so it is velvety smooth!
I’m pregnant so smoothies are my go to breakfast 🙂
Sip slowly… Feel energized all morning without the nausea of a ‘meal’.
Definitely banana ice cream with peanuts, coconut shavings, and chocolate chips. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!!!
Hi! I love blending green, tropical-inspired smoothies. Thanks for entering me for the Vitamix — I love your blog and cookbook!!
Smoothies are my favorite right now . . . almond milk, avocado, cocoa powder, vanilla, protein powder. Would LOVE this new blender – the lid on mine is broken. 🙁
My favorites at the moment are the poblano cashew crema, which I’ve been using to top on tacos as well as various seafood tostadas! And my all time favorite breakfast, kale, chia, pineapple, Apple and lime smoothie
We love making fresh cashew and almond milks! We also make protein shakes daily and make lots of soups! Our current blender us about to go so we’ve been using an immersion blender lately.
Smoothies! Especially some healthy ones for the kids.
Thai spiced coconut and almond butter sauce! 1/3 cup almond butter, 1/3 cup coconut milk, tablespoon curry paste and tablespoon soy sauce. Finish with cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime. So good on soba or rice noodles with any veggies tossed in! Tastes amazing warm or cold!
I make my son smoothies. He’s 32 and disabled and lives with me. He’s very picky and doesn’t eat the most nourishing foods. So I make this with honey, oats, yogurt, banana, spinach, frozen mixed berries and coconut milk. It’s the one thing he loves and I feel better knowing he has some good stuff going in:)
Favorite blend is pesto : basil, parm, walnuts, olive oil, and a tiny touch of truffle oil:)
Smoothies. Smoothie. Smoothies!
My favorite is cocoa mousse
1 avocado
1/4 c. agave
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa
1/4 c. almond milk
1 t vanilla
1 t instant espresso or coffee {optional}
Blend and chill!……..Yummy
Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup! (with grilled cheese on the side of course…)
Love the vitamix for making the smoothest pureed roasted red pepper for my muhammara dip. Also for grinding soaked rice and dal for S. Indian dosas.
Curry!! I’ve made homemade curry that requires cooking down tomatoes and spices and then blending the stew for a sauce with a smooth consistency.
Although, I don’t own a food processor or immersion blender, so I use my blender for just about everything!
Bitchin Sauce from the Faux Martha
http://www.thefauxmartha.com/2012/01/23/bitchin-sauce/
My favorite blend is a sauce for veggies: lemon, tahini, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, pepper flakes, warm water-Yum!
Any salad dressing. Especially with silken tofu or cashews. Yum. Fooled even the most diehard fat-i-tarians!
Love making smoothies, grating cheese, making all kinds of soups.I think my all time favorite is hummus…any kind!!! My husbands favorite is making peanut butter. Vitamix will make it all so much easier!!!
Favorite blend is the simplest – banana ice cream! Frozen banana and coconut milk – with shredded coconut on top after blending. Quick and easy and healthy and delicious – just like all your recipes!
Sweet Potato & Pear Soup w/ Sage! This recipe is simple, yet delicious. It packs some serious flavor without being weighed down with heavy cream.
My everyday green smoothie – spinach, celery, cucumber, green apple, banana and/or yogurt, coconut almond milk, chia seeds, almond butter, cinnamon, and a splash of apple cider vinegar
Delicious, refreshing smoothie to wake up with every morning!
I haven’t had a blender in forever so I’ve been using the food processor which is both good and bad. I have a great roasted red pepper sauce for stuffed poblano chilis that I love. It would be nice to make it really smooth. The processor leaves it a little chunkier than I’d like.
I couldn’t decide between two: the Minty Green Shamrock Shake Smoothie (all of the joy of childhood and none of the guilt) and the “Creamy” Sundried Tomato Soup (a favorite lunch staple of mine). SO amazing!
I have to say, it would be awesome to have a blender that didn’t explode every time I hit “blend”… 😉
Carrot Gazpacho 🙂 It would be so nice.
I was in Anthropologie over the weekend and spied your beautiful cookbook- congrats! 🙂 That vitamix is gorgeous! I would love to make some yummy soups (and sauces, and smoothies- they are all my faves!) in that beauty. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite is the blended coffee. The new book is beautiful.
Avocado cream sauce with pasta!
i really like the chocolate avocado smoothie!!! i didnt think i would since i’m always a bit nervous with avocados.
Favorite blended recipe – Manchmantel! It takes forever to roast everything and bring it all together but the end result is divine 🙂
I love making different types of pestos!!! There are so many options of ingredients to mix it up! 🙂
A Vitamix has been on my Wishlist forever, as I constantly use my mini food processor to make delicious avocado-Greek yogurt-cilantro dressing for tacos and salads. A blender just doesn’t do the trick for the smoothies I wish I could make for my breakfasts and continuing to eat clean. I’d absolutely love this Vitamix and would use it daily! 🌿🍌🍍🍓
Winner! I mostly use my blender for protein shakes: protein, almond milk and ice!
Smoothies with frozen fruit, almond butter, chia seeds, greek yogurt and oj!
Love making “green monster” smoothies for my little man thats 2 and me!
He even helps!
Xoxo
The kids have been asking latest for chocolate shakes – fat free cool whip, cocoa powder and chocolate milk, blended with a dash of condensed milk. Would lvelvelove a vitamix!!!
I make a tahini, apple cider vinegar, and turmeric dressing that’s good on everything!
I’m obsessed with making cashew cheese! Having a vitamix would make it bomb.
My favorite blended dish was the parsnip curry soup! It was so delicious!

Ah! What doesnt taste good from a Vitamix? After going through some unidentified digestive issues, I’ve turned to an elimination diet for help – all of your creamy soups & smoothies from the cookbook have saved my meals! I am obsessed w the tomato, chickpea & coconut soup!!
I love my post workout smoothies of kefir, berries and protein powder!
Chocolate Bananas Avocado Ice Cream! So good. Splash of almond milk to smooth it out, little vanilla extract, dash of lemon juice and BOOM! Guiltless ice cream.
Creamy tomato soup with only 5 ingredients: olive oil, onions, garlic, tomatoes and basil. No cream added but is soo velvety smooth when blended!
I like to make a Syrian dip called Muhammara out of roasted red peppers, walnuts and pomegranate syrup. Another favorite is Curried Pumpkin Soup.
P.S. I could really use that Vitamix 😉
My favorite blended drinks comes from The Raw Deal in Menomine WI. They call it the funky monkey. It has almond milk, banana, almonds, and dates. So good!
Green smoothies, soups and sauces. There is so much you can make in your blender!
I love making a great homemade salsa in the blender!
Always gelato….especially those with choc Olathe bases or heath toffee bits!
Many times a week I blend a fruit smoothie with a banana, 1/2 cup of raw oats, a bit of almond milk, frozen blueberries, strawberries, and pineapple, and yogurt. Sometimes a add in some baby spinach or kale. Gross color but still tasty.
fresh island papaya, cold milk, and honey! simple, light, and refreshing!
I absolutely love making healthy smoothie versions of my favourite sweets!
Carrot cake smoothie (banana, Apple, ginger, carrot ,cardamom, cinnamon, almond butter, almond milk) or my chocolate mint smoothie with two layers ( mint, spinach, frozen banana, vanilla extract + banana, coco, maple syrup, chia seeds), I could go on forever, smoothies are my life! 😀

Currently: loving blending my morning coffee with coconut oil, gelatin, and almond milk. Sort-of-bulletproof coffee. But once it’s nice and warm outside, definitely banana nice cream. I’ll even eat it for breakfast. ☺️
my fave blended recipe right now is frozen banana ice cream! so easy and healthy, but my current blender has some difficulty trying to handle the frozen fruit .
I love making Pitaya bowls in the morning. Pitaya, strawberries, banana, and coconut milk.
I love making tropical smoothies- banana, mango, and pineapple with some spinach and almond milk! I also love making blended sauces and dips with cashews!
This would be used daily at our house! Protein smoothies in the morning, soups for lunches, and salad dressing/vegan cheese dips/pestos for dinner! Fingers crossed that we win!
All the smoothie variations! They’re simple, but I love mixing and matching from the matrix at the back of the cookbook!
Anything with avocado!
My morning smoothies and baby food for my son!!!
Cilantro salad dressing made with cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, s&p, and nutritional yeast!
Green Smoothies for breakfast!
Everyday I make a smoothie for breakfast! My favorite smoothie has caramel cashew milk, carob chips, frozen bananas, pb2 powder, kale & hemp seed. My current blender leaves me chewing the kale from my smoothie…. this is actually my 2nd blender in 2 years because I blend everyday & most blenders can’t keep up!
Any kind of healthy smoothie!
Morning coffee smoothies!
Fresh coffee, bananas, peanut butter, soy milk, cocoa powder, and soy milk. 🙂
I love energy soup in the Vitamix – kale apple celery orange lemon avocado – throw in a dash of cayenne and pinch of garlic for a powerhouse breakfast lunch or dinner.

I would love to make smoothies and soups with this! I love making gazpacho to beat the summer heat and this would be perfect for it!!! And it would be a lot smoother than making it in a blender (which is what I’m currently doing)
Gazpacho, Gazpacho, Gazpacho! THE. BEST.
My favorite thing to make is pesto!
I drink on average about 3 smoothies a day. My freezer has only frozen fruit and ice in it. My favourite recipe is strawberries, pineapple, coconut milk, vanilla protein, coconut oil and spinach.
I would love to use this new VitaMix to whip up a delicious acai bowl! Now that it’s warmer out, it’s all I’m craving!!
I love making vegan blended coffee drinks with almond milk ice cubes! They’re similar to frappucinos from Starbucks but healthier and better tasting!
We love a smootthis in our house. That copper Vitamix is to die for! And your new cookbook.is on my “short list”!
I don’t blend things too too often, but we just made the “Many-Herb Sauce” from the cookbook and it was fantastic! We used basil, cilantro, and tarragon as the recipe suggested and I can’t way to try so many other combinations!

Kale, frozen strawberries and/or bananas and chocolate protein powder. Almost every morning!

I’m going to have to agree with Anna (and a few others) – your recipe for creamy sun-dried tomato soup is my favourite!
You can’t go wrong with a good smoothie, but my absolute favorite is a Turkish red lentil soup. It can be left chunky, but it’s so lovely and creamy when blended.

I’m obsessed with the roasted cauliflower tacos with chipotle cream sauce from your new cookbook! so good! My favorite thing to make in a blender is a green smoothie for breakfast with whatever ingredients I have on hand. I always include spinach, banana, chia seeds and almond milk and then add in other fruit for a sweeter smoothie or vegetables if I overindulged the weekend before.
Simple as it may be…… strawberry banana smoothie
I am so excited that I discovered your blog and your cookbook. I have been going through your cookbook and trying the recipes. Everything I have made so far is wonderful! As for blended recipes, I admit, that my one of my favorites is the Cherry Cacao Smoothie!

Butternut squash soup with browned butter and sage
My fav blended recipe has to be a veggie burger made of chickpeas and sweet potatoes. What makes it super yummy is all the spices and textures: cumin, mint, paprika, onion, mustard seeds and some Tahini with parsley to top them up, alongside a side of roasted asparagus and broccoli.
#HappyDays
Cilantro pesto! Delicious and good for you.
I love to blend up soups like broccoli cheddar or any butternut squash soup. Lately I’ve been blending up a variety of green + protein smoothies to be a healthier me!
Oh my, I don’t usually do this, but that blender is a dream! One of my favorite blender recipes is a puréed carrot, parsnip, and coconut milk soup. It has just the right amount of sweet heat, thanks to the rich coconut flavor and just a touch of spicy red chili paste. <3 Thanks for sharing your beautiful recipes and photographs!
Best blended recipe is one of simplicity: creamy cashew milk, powdered peanut butter, cacao powder, hazelnut extract, and decaf instant coffee. OMG, YUM.

Where to begin…I’ll go with a cilantro hummus that I learned to make while working in Ghana. I ate hummus on everything…as a salad dressing, as a sauce, and maybe even just on a spoon. It’s that good!
Smoothies, pesto, hummus, mayo!
Currently my favorite blended recipe is a chia chocolate smoothie. I know it’s somewhat boring, but it’s because my cheap blender can’t handle anything more complicated than that. Hoping a Vitamix will open the doors to some amazing blender recipes!

Hummus, soup, smoothies…all of it!
Smoothies! Banana, berries and yogurt or spinach, banana, dates and cashew milk.
Nice cream with banana and mango!
Sauces! Pesto, chimichurri, hollandaise, mayo.
My favorite favorite FAVORITE blended recipe is a kalamata olive tapenade. Actually its more of an aioli, but it is delicious and I put it on everything, but this stuff on warm, fresh bread is heaven. You basically just throw all the ingredients in the blender (or in my case a hand me down nutribullet), refrigerate for 30 minutes and voila! 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 1 pinch black pepper, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, 1⁄2 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, peeled, 3 or 4 leaves fresh basil, 1 cup light mayonnaise. Just thinking about it has made me decide that I need to whip some up tonight.
Carrot ginger soup, kiwi strawberry spinach smoothies, and butternut squash rutabaga puree! getting hungry!!!
Homemade pesto! One of my favorite pesto recipes substitutes pistachios for the traditional pine nuts- perfect for pizza!
Gazpacho during the summer with tomatoes from the farmers markets is a must! Butternut squash soup during the winter months. And of course green smoothies for breakfast everyday.
Fruit and yogurt smoothies every morning for my kids!
I love to make a coconut carrot ginger soup inspired by one I tried at a local vegan restaurant … would be so much easier if I had a Vitamix to heat it up in and didn’t have to transfer from the blender to a pot!
Mango, strawberry, banana and spinach smoothies were a game changer for me. I tried and failed to get my toddler to eat spinach in a variety of ways and finally found that I could throw a ton of spinach in a fruit smoothie, and she’d happily drink it. The smoothies also make great popsicles in the summer!
My favorite thing to make in a blender right now is your cherry, blueberry and cacao smoothie recipe but the thing I make the most here lately is spinach, applesauce, and banana muffins. It is the only way I can get my two year old twins to eat any vegetables!
What don’t I like to blend?! Carrot soup, hummus, smoothies and if I have leftover roasted veggies, I pop them in my blender and heat it up and it’s a yummy veggie soup!
My favorite blended recipe is my everyday strawberry banana chia smoothie(:
I make a kale smoothie every day, and I absolutely love them. I use Unsweetened Almond Milk, a large handful of Lactino Kale leaves, a few Medjool Dates, Maple Syrup, Frozen Blueberries, a handful of ice, and a tablespoon of the following: Hemp Seeds, Flax Seeds, Chia Seeds.
It is refreshing and delicious.
A change up would be to add Whey Protein Powder, and/or Matcha Green Tea.
Yummy!
Swiss Cauliflower soup!
I made a blended creamy zucchini soup with tons of fresh herbs! Delish!! 💝🎉💝
Spinach!
Soups! Vegan broccoli soup made creamy with rice milk, AND a butternut squash veggie soup blended at the end for non-dairy creamy perfection.
smoothies from whatever fruit is in the house, unsweet almond-coconut milk, cinnamon, vanilla or almond flavoring, plus a little red or black pepper. YUM
A yummy veggie soup that I make. You blend partner the mixture to add creaminess to the soup!
The beet hummus! It’s perfect! And with a Vitamix it would be perfectly smooth!! Congrats on your book, your recipes are great!
Any kind of blended veggie soup! Options are endless but some of my most favorites are roasted butternut squash w apples, spring peas & zucchini, roasted carrot, and broccoli! Smoothies are a given, too 😉
pesto of all forms, kefir smoothies, hummus, & broccoli soup are the most frequent items in my blender.
Anything with spinach!!
I am an artist and take a simple but nourishing powerful breakfast smoothie to my studio, keeps me going for a long time, and the protein keeps my sugar cravings at bay. Califia almond milk, 1-2 scoops Sunwarrior natural vegan protein powder (just hemp, pea, and goji berry), organic blueberries or strawberries, organic hemp or chia seeds, and a dash of almond extract! Love your blog, sent itntonmy daughter and she immediately ordered your book. She has a food blog as well, Meta Street Cafe/ Plein Oranges. Thank you!
I really love a spinach, green tea, and homey smoothie in the morning, so good!
Obviously I’m partial to my green smoothie every morning, but I love treating myself with a chocolate mousse in the blender every once in a while (:
Favorite blended recipe is definitely the curry pumpkin soup! Love the new cookbook too!
I have always wanted a vitamix! It would be so helpful to make all my favorite soup, smoothie and sauce recipes. Smoothies espicially. Right now my boys love sunrise smoothies: strawberries, watermelon, orange juice. I also add liquid calcium, protein powder, flax oil, and mct oil.
Favorite blended recipe – right now, peanut butter banana post workout smoothie!
Oh so excited! My favorite blended recipe would have to be a rice porridge made with pine nuts. The ingredients are all blended up and then cooked over the stove–blending is key here! The finer the texture the silkier it will be 🙂
Green smoothies daily and roasted red pepper and feta hummus!
I love frozen coffees in the blender! Adding dark chocolate almond milk for a lighter mocha taste!
I love making avocado-date pudding!! I like using dates because it makes it such a guilt free treat!!
My favorite is first blending 1 cup of kale and 1/2 cup of almond milk. Once that is blended add 1 cup of frozen banana and 1 cup of frozen pineapple and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. Yum!
I make a pretty good smoothie to curb the sweet cravings with PB2 powder, Chocolate Vega powder, frozen banana, almond milk, a few pretzel sticks, and sugar free caramel syrup!
My favorite blended recipe is a tropical mango smoothie:
Almond milk, fresh mango and coconut yogurt with a dash of cardamom and lots of ice – so good and so refreshing!
I love making the creamy cashew sauce for your butternut squash stuffed shells in my mother’s vitamix! The consistency is unlike anything else one could achieve in a normal blender!
I LOVE blending smoothies during the hot summer months. My favorite combo is two cups of ice water, a cup of frozen berries (blackberries, blueberries and raspberries), two handfuls of spinach, a tablespoon of chia seeds, a tablespoon of Agave and a scoop of raw protein powder. Super filling and satisfies my sweet tooth!
I’m on a big smoothie bowl kick lately, so that’s currently my favorite thing to blend- but I love making sauces too!
I love to blend up different variations on pesto – lately I’m loving spinach and basil with cotija – so salty and delicious.
And the winner is…….from Denmark!!! MormorMedStiletter.dk!

I love the minty green shamrock smoothie- it’s my morning go-to!
Fresh pesto made with herbs from my garden
One of my favorite recipes to blend is a soup made of romaine lettuce, onions frozen peas, lots of parsley and vegetable stock; it’s vibrantly green and delicious, especially with a generous dollop of creme fraiche or Greek yogurt on top.
I also love using a high-powered blender for nuts milks–it leads to a remarkably creamy texture.
Mango smoothie, arugula pesto and ginger pea purée.
I love my blender so much that it travels with me when I’m on the road! And I use it for so much — soups, dressings, my morning smoothies, etc . My recent egg allergy diagnosis and the discovery of tofu quiches and frittatas has made my blender work harder than ever. Whip some tofu with some hummus, nutritional yeast, and some spices in the blender, mix the batter with some veggies, and bake. Easy nutrition, sans allergic reaction. Score. So good!!
My absolute favorite blended recipe is the Tomato Bisque by Tal Ronen in his cookbook The Conscious Cook. So delicious!
Cashew cream has been a game changer for me in transitioning to a plant based diet! I get terrible migraine headaches from dairy and eggs learning to blend things like cashews to add into sauces and soups for the creamy texture is my favorite thing to blend! And that copper vitamix is so gorgeous – thank you for the awesome opportunity!! XO
I am totally obsessed with banana ice cream! I could eat it every day…maybe every meal!
I love soups! Cheesy potato is my current favor.
Copper Vitamix?!? Yes please! So many delicious possibilities.

My Granna makes the best squash bisque- need to start making it on my own 🙂

Sauce for cilantro rice! I just a blendeder almost daily for smoothies, soups and salad dressings. Would love a vitamix to be able to do so much more!
Love a green smoothie…
Kale, spinach, green apple, cucumber, frozen pineapple, mint and coconut water. Plus, a dash of spirulina and hemp seeds.
Blueberry and banana Greek yogurt pancakes and cauliflower rice!
Hmmm, daily smoothies or White Bean Veloute? the latter because it was the first bean dish my eldest fell in love with. Cheers!

The first time that I made hummus, I felt like a sorcerer.

My roommate and I make juice (with the pulp!!) in my vitamix (she still needs one for after I move out!)

I make a blended sweet potato and roasted cauliflower soup that is delicious!
Acai bowls/smoothie bowls are my new go-to healthy lunch, and both would benefit tremendously from a VitaMix!
Chile sauce! Whether it is destined for chili or for enchiladas, doing it in a high powered blendered makes the task super easy, quick and delicious…..so creamy and I don’t even have to strain it.
I love to make a healthy, super simple version of green goddess dressing! Avocado, honey, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, a little vinegar. Sometimes add basil or cilantro if I’m feeling spicy! Press blend!
My favorite blended recipe is absolutely homemade hummus…bonus points for roasted red peppers!
I love your superfood sunshine smoothies (goji berries are one of my favorite things to add to smoothies)! I love your blog so much — I have been following for years! I would love this Copper Vitamix and it would get a lot of use!

shamrock shake!
I love to make my own sauces and condiments…so much fresher and better-tasting than the stuff you get at the store!
We blend all sorts of food in my kitchen, but my favorite would have to be the raw porridge nearly every morning. It’s a riff on GKS’s recipe: soaked buckwheat and walnuts blended with cardamom, vanilla, an apple and a couple of oranges, and topped with delicious things (mainly cocoa nibs, help, bee pollen, and berries or pomegranate arils).
Whoops! Had a typo. Should be hemp, not help. 🙂
What a beauty! Right now the only thing I am making is apple/kale/ginger smoothies in my very old blender. I don’t know if could take much else! But I love drinking smoothies after work as a snack before dinner.
Lots of favorites, but I’d have to say a smoothie with spinach, banana, almond butter, and cinnamon would be at the top of my list.
Smoothie with mango, banana, yogurt, OJ, vanilla, spinach or kale, and a whole carrot.
yogurt oats and mango blended for breakfast..!! yummy
Green, green green smoothies. Oh and pesto.
I love a buckwheat groat, spinach and almond milk smoothie. Throw in some cinnamon and almond butter and I’m a happy girl!
Smoothies are my favorite blender recipes — any flavor is OK but I love a fruit smoothie with strawberries and bananas the best of all. Yum!
My favorite smoothie lately is: spinach, mango, lime juice, cilantro (sometimes), and coconut oil (sometimes).
Whipped cream made with berries to add to smoothies or topped on oatmeal!
I love green smoothies in the morning!!
I like making a simple 5 ingredient cauliflower soup, homemade chicken stock, onion, olive oil and seasoning to taste. After you brown the onions and cauliflower with the salt and pepper you add stock, bring to a boil, and simmer until cauliflower is cooked through and soup has reduced to desired consistency, then blend the whole thing up. It’s creamy, but dairy free, healthy and delicious!
Mmmm, my absolute favorite blended soup recipe is my mom’s old, traditional, tried and true potato cheese soup. Nothing compares.
Recreating one of my favorite drinks from cafe gratitude: coconut milk, almond butter, dates, vanilla and cinnamon!

PESTO all summer with fresh basil from my garden.
I love making soups and smoothies with my kids! We all get to try new things.
I love to make all kinds of pesto!
I have a twist on pesto that I highly recommend. Put raw carrots. garlic, olive oil and pistachios in there and blend it up. Has consistency of pesto but a totally different and very refreshing taste. I’m not even a big carrot person but this is to die for. I put it with a grain like couscous or bulgur with chickpeas, fresh mint, green onions and dried fruit. I also put some chili flakes in there. It’s a really interesting taste. I adapted from a cookbook titled Meatless which is ALMOST as good as Love & Lemons. But of course, not the same. Enjoy!
Smoothies! Love grinding avocado pits and love and need this beautiful copper Vitamix.,

Although, we do start our mornings with a smoothie of blueberries or raspberries, blended with some coconut water, hemp seed, banana, flax, and cacao nips…and it’s delicious!
My favorite smoothies are what I grandkids smoothies. My grandsons stand in front of the refrigerator and pick out whatever types of grimy it they want, and then we add “leaves” and blend. It’s always something a little different and they think it’s great!

Blender pancakes are the best! You can have hearty multi-grain pancakes without having to buy an expensive mix. And they’re much healthier!

Cucumbers

Frozen banana

Love making soups – especially tortilla soup! So warming and has a bit of a kick to it.
I usually follow recipes or adapt them, but one day I started with some leftover watermelon languishing in the fridge and created a most delicious smoothie. I felt so clever! Blend together:
1 cup chopped warermelon
1 cup chopped strawberries
1/2 cup yogurt
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp maple syrup or honey
1 cup coconut water
Ooh, Jeanine….SERIOUS blender lust!!! Sooo pretty!!
OK…I’ll try to rein it in and answer your question 😀
My favorite blender recipe is a really simple asparagus soup I make every spring, when the local asparagus comes in. It has only a few ingredients (asparagus, garlic, onion, russet potato, broth, tarragon, salt and white pepper), it’s silky smooth and the asparagus flavor really shines through. I often will also dilute it a bit and use is as a sauce over spring veggies and grains, or a pasta dish, as well.
It’s my own, personal celebration of the return of warmth and green and flowers!
Beet, carrot, celery, kale, pineapple, and pear smoothie-juice. Everydayyyyy
Kale and blueberries smoothies are the best!

I really love your recipe for Zucchini Noodles & Lemon “Ricotta.” Since my household transitioned to a whole-food based vegan diet this has become a staple. It’s so satisfying and delicious, with a gorgeous variety of textures and flavors. I like to top the “ricotta” on other things, like crostini with fresh tomatoes and basil or homemade spelt flour pizza with spinach and “ricotta.” Sometimes I make it with all cashews or sunflower seeds. Always delicious!
My current favorite is combination – now don’t run away – of beets, carrots, sweet onion and once blended, stir in a small amount of horseradish for bit of zing.
Any smoothie with a little PB is right up my alley!
Basil pesto and breakfast smoothies. That Vitamix is so pretty!

My favorite blended recipe? Lately, I have become obsessed with your Hemp Seed & Kale Pesto recipe.

Though delicious on its own, the pesto transformed the minestrone into something sublime. Yum!!
I love a green goddess smoothie!!! My absolute fave 🙂
Any kind of no-cook sauce or condiment – I’m on a chimichurri kick lately after a trip to Argentina!

I’m so glad I found your blog! I love the minimalist design and it’s incorporated in your cookbook as well! I have yet to try a soup recipe because I don’t have a blender. I usually make smoothies with the typical ingredients: a green, fruit, and liquid (yogurt, type of milk, or water). I saw one of your muffin recipes and saw spinach. My jaw dropped. How is it that you could put spinach in there and still taste amazing?! I am in awe of your creativity and artistry! Do you have signed books by any chance?! Love love everything you’re about! Best of luck with everything!
Either banana ice cream (sooo much better than I expected) or chimichuri sauce, yummm!

I love soups! I could eat them every day. Roasted butternut squash with red pepper puree has my heart. ♡
I first tried it at a Wolfgang Puck restaurant and have been smitten ever since. I would love to recreate my own. A very smooth consistency is the key, Vitamix power would ensure that!

Carrot Ginger Soup!!! (with a dash of fresh tumeric!)
I’d love to make my own nut butters – and with the Vitamix, I’d be able to!!
Congrats on your cookbook!
Curried Spinach Green Pea Soup
I LOVE smoothies.. but if I had a Vitamix I’d want to try making my own Peanut Butter too!
Peanut butter, frozen bananas and cherries, almond milk, and a bit of spinach just for the green part. Yum!
Almond milk is my favorite thing to make in a blender, then creating fun things to use up the pulp like almond peanut butter crackers or a pie crust.
I think my favorite savory blender recipe is roasted butternut squash, apple, onion, and spicy/hot pepper soup. It’s so smooth and creamy that you’d never guess that it’s vegan!
My favorite recipe is Cucumber Avocado soup–1/2 avocado, 1 3/4 english cucumbers (not peeled), juice of one lime, 3 T. fresh chives, and as much fresh jalapeno as you’d like, plus 1 c. ice and 1 c. greek yogurt. Blend and eat! Incredibly refreshing.
I make a mean peanut sauce (which I then put on everything)! What a beautiful blender. Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway and congrats on your new cookbook! I love it.
Truthfully- smoothies! I have one ever single day.
brussels sprouts with creamy cashew pasta sauce!

Puffy Pancakes. My mom makes hers in a blender and mine never seem to turn out right. Maybe if I had a blender it would turn out as good as hers!
My favourite blended recipe is to make my own nut milks. However, I am currently only able to when I travel to my parents house and borrow their vitamix. I would love the opportunity to be able to make as many nut milks as my heart desires and all the other recipes I can discover with this amazing tool!! I just got the cookbook last week, but it was damaged so im waiting for a new one in the mail!!

My favorite blended recipe is what I call “Matt’s gross kale smoothie” because it’s how my boyfriend first got me to try kale (it’s actually delicious!).
I like making peanut sauce with fresh ginger, roasted peanuts, red curry paste, and a few other ingredients. It’s great with chicken, tofu, or just about anything!
What a beautiful blender. My favorite blended recipe is for creamy tomato basil soup – yum!
Well that’s amazing – I just posted a picture of my cookbook for fun and saw that there was a giveaway going on!!! How lucky of me! So excited to try this new cookbook out! I have already flagged at least 10 recipes I need to try! I think I am going to be relying heavily on this book for Mother’s Day brunch ideas! Thank you for all that you do!
Nicole, the same thing happened to me! Posted a feature on Instagram of Jeanine’s recipe, and then learned about the giveaway. FAB! Also, I love your blog. As a new, experimenting blogger I love to read others to learn and be inspired. So thank you!
My fav blended recipe is one for blender banana pancakes! SO simple!!
i love my miso and pea soup… 3 ingredients, so so good.
Growing up, my parents used to make Potato Leek Soup to combat the cold weather. It was always so smooth and creamy… winter never tasted so good!
I loooove to make this strawberry almond smoothie. It’s soo delicious!
Miso-ginger carrot soup is a standby I keep coming back to.
Cilantro jalapeño hummus. Sounds fancy but super easy
My favorite blended recipe has to be the white bean purée! The naan with asparagus and white bean purée is phenomenal and we got to use the extras on sandwiches and to dip triscuits! Yum!
I have a green smoothie every morning. I would love to make it in a new blender as mine is over 10 years old. This one would be so much prettier on my counter.
We love blender pancakes! Make them at least 3x a week for lunches and breakfasts!
I love a smoothie full of kale, cherries, berries, and coconut milk!!
My mom makes the absolute best pesto, it’s my favorite thing that comes from a blender:).
Honestly, I love an acai bowl! Complete with coconut, granola, and banana on top!

Green Monster Smoothie
Love making kale smoothies every morning (going strong for 5 years now)! Can’t go a day without it!
YES kale smoothies are the bomb!
It’s not original, but any and all smoothies! I use blenders for basically everything, but I’ve never had a Vitamix and would love to try one, as I am a beginning food blogger. I make a fruit and greens protein smoothie every morning for breakfast – no recipe, just whatever feels good at the moment. My second favorite thing to blend would probably have to be veggie soups – squash, asparagus, you name it. Dying to try the carrot gazpacho recipe!
We love to sauté peppers and onions and then blend with cream and serve with pasta!
I love to make your dark chocolate avocado mousse and the vitamix would be good for that!
My favorite blended recipe is a super loaded green smoothie shake with all the fruits and veggies we have in the house!
Cashew cream sauce! Thank you for introducing it to me!
banana protein smoothie- banana, almond milk, protein powder, collagen, iced coffee, and some nut butter!
My most frequent blended recipe would have to be a green smoothie, but my favorite, especially as the weather gets warmer, is a gorgeous gazpacho packed with bright fresh veggies and a good olive oil.
There’s nothing like a beautifully blended smoothie in the middle of the summer! Any and all fruits make me a happy camper! 💛
rainbow smoothies! Fruit or veggie of every color in the rainbow
I have a pesto recipe that I love – I make it for lunches all the time!
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup!!
I love smoothies in the summer! But my absolute favorite thing to blend is any type of homemade pesto, especially one using a mixture of spinach, arugula, and basil as the greens!
My favorite blended recipe is mainly for soups. I love tomato basil blended till smooth and creamy!
carrot apple ginger soup!
I love making the butternut pumpkin soup
I am a new momma and I want to be able to provide healthful, quick meals and snacks for my family, and using a blender, let alone a powerhouse blender like the Viatmix, would be a new fun tool in the kitchen! Can’t wait to get your new cookbook, congrats!
Making pestos in the blender is so easy, but I especially love the Hemp Seed Kale Pesto, because it’s light and fresh and super lemony. I put it on just about anything! http://www.loveandlemons.com/nut-free-hemp-seed-kale-pesto/
I love making tomato soup!
My all-time favorite blended recipe is Pea and Pesto Soup. It’s dead simple and crazy fast. And it is surprisingly low in sodium without tasting in the least bland. Another plus is that excellent frozen peas are available year round, so even in the middle of a winter storm, I can have a bowl full of spring.
I love a good arugula pesto!
I love to make a healthy breakfast shake for the mornings I need something fast, healthy and can take on the go. I use blueberries, cinnamon and a good source of protein with coconut oil. Tastes delicious and is healthy.
Pureed pumpkin and black bean soup, with about 3/4 of it pureed and the rest stirred in. So good.
Fabulous giveaway! I love a green smoothing with spinach, avocado, an orange, frozen banana and greens!
Homemade nut milks! They’re game changers 😄
I love America’s Test Kitchen Cauliflower Soup made with the blender, but more importantly instant smoothies!
I’m currently blender-less because the glass broke which has made me realize just how much I use it! (tragic I know..) Breakfast is a smoothie almost every morning and I really love to use it for soup too, my favorite is butternut squash soup with curry, turmeric and cashews – it’s so creamy and delicious!
Spinach and berry smoothies or soups, especially tomato
Spinach and berry smoothies or soups, especially tomato!

Cashew cream – on its own or as a base for an extra creamy chia pudding!
my favorite blended recipe is vegan sour cream with cashews and lemon juice..love it Thanks
I love to try new pesos using different greens or combinations of greens with different nuts and cheeses. They are great on pastas, on toast, on eggs, as salad dressings, on veggies, and more.
Favorite blended recipe is a green smoothie for breakfast. Spinach, cucumber, carrots, frozen peaches, and frozen pineapple. Fresh squeezed orange juice and a few splashes of water!
I love to make matcha tea lattes and ice cream for the kids

Love making smoothies with my toddler!
whoa the copper is gorgeous! my favorite blended recipe is definitely green smoothies, so delicious and a great way to get greens!
Banana ice cream!
My best recipe is:
Frozen bananas (4-5 peeled frozen)
Coconut milk (1/4 cup)
Cinnamon (1 tsp)
Vanilla (1 tsp)
Lucuma powder (makes the texture amazing!) (1 tbsp)
The measurements are approximate. I usually eyeball it!
I love it the most when my son (13) is making his famous shakshoukha – first the Hommos and then the spicy pepper sauce….mmmmh!
Love making salsa! Esp the tomatillo salsa, so tasty.
Vegan mac and shews, vegan queso dip, butternut squash soup, and avocado pasta sauce are all dishes I love and use a blender for.
Vegan Ricotta! Because on trying it my husband (who is not vegan) exclaimed that it was so good you could put it on anything! Thanks much.
I’m super picky about textures, so I basically blend everything. My favorite would be a cream of spinach or chicken soup with lots of veggies packed in there. Or a strawberry lime smoothie. Yum!
I always love a classic strawberry banana smoothie! But I would love to try making gazpacho!
I love making cold soups and smoothies! My favorite one is banana-oatmeal-kale.
I have a curried carrot and squash soup that I make all winter long! It’s just the best, can be combined with rice, over veggies, or warmed in a mug by itself…
butternut squash soup!
The Green Monster: Spinach/kale, strawberries, blueberries, apple juice, lemon, & ginger!
Can’t beat homemade hummus!!
Oatmeal and peanut butter smoothies!
I would make carrot gazpacho
My new favorite is soup: curry, turmeric, coconut cream, garbanzo, and carrot base – all vegan and so delicious! Fingers crossed I win this copper beauty Vitamix Pro750 Heritage Blender, would be a dream come true! Thank you love & lemons I heart you and all the goodness you post!
Just a good ol’ smoothie for Bfast!
I love making acai bowls!
HUMMUS!
Creamy carrot soup is my favorite thing to make in the blender!
Ginger-Apple Pumpkin Soup! I love making soup, but honestly not having a good blender makes it rather tedious, so I don’t make blending soups as much as I would like. As of now they stand to be for holidays with family and friends like thanksgiving 🙂 so everyone gets to enjoy!
My favorite for this year is a green smoothie for breakfast
Faux ice cream made from frozen bananas
I love to make virgin strawberry daiquiris! Yum!!!
I recently discovered banana nice cream and it’s quickly become my favorite dessert! Unfortunately my current blender is on the fritz and can’t blend up frozen bananas 🙁 This beautiful Vitamix would be a DREAM and I would celebrate by whipping up some chocolate & PB nice cream!!! <3
I love making up a big batch of smoothies in the beginning of the week, sticking them in the freezer and then I have instant breakfast. In the fall – I LOVE to make creamy soups, like asparagus with tofu (and I am not even a vegetarian!).
Smoothies any time of the year – I make one daily, chock full of greens. Recently I have been on a hummus kick as well. Having a good blender definitely makes a difference!
butternut squash pasta sauce = winter crack.
Vegan banana cream pie milkshakes with a little bit of bourbon!!
My fave blended recipe is a passion fruit smoothie: passion fruit pulp, banana, orange, pea protein coconut water + coconut milk. YUM and great post workout fuel.
I love experimenting with different types of pesto: kale, arugula, spinach – whatever is leftover in the fridge ☺️
breakfast these days is a green smoothie with some fresh grated ginger for a spicy kick! my current blender tends to jam on the spinach so a new vitamix would be awesome. 🙂
I make a superfood smoothie every morning!! My chai one with maca powder is my favorite! It would be real nice to have a Vitamix! My blender takes a while and is very loud!!
Milkshakes! Add-ins like cookies and brownies are a plus!
Rise and Shine! My absolute favorite smoothie is actually one of the first ones I tried! Spinach, green apples, carrots, celery, lemons juice, and ginger. Better than coffee in the morning!
My favorite blended recipe is the cashew miso sauce from your cookbook! (Not saying that to suck up and win a Vitamix.) It has become my favorite staple. I’m also a sucker for ANY kind of smoothie, which I use my blender to make every single morning.
Congratulations on your beautiful book! It’s such an accomplishment, and I can’t wait to try my hand at everything in it.
My favorite blended recipe would have to be cashew cheese — on sweet potato and black bean tacos!
Acai bowls = blended perfection!
Butternut squash soup!
I like to blend a smoothie with a banana, 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy – I like almond milk), a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, and a tablespoon of either peanut butter or almond butter. Sometimes I add a couple of ice cubes if I want it to be “frosty”. This is my “comfort food” smoothie.
My favorite blended recipe is my regular morning smoothie made from homemade almond milk (soak 1 cup almonds overnight, discard water, add almonds and 4 cups of fresh water to the blender and blend until smooth. Pour all through a sieve and either discard almond meal or put in tupperware and use over your favorite Muesli), kale, green apple, kiwi and maple syrup. A fast and easy blend when you’re in the rush, yet with lots of vitamins.
My favorite and only thing I blend at the moment is a smoothie in morning for me and my kids. It usually consists of yogurt, frozen fruits, and milk or keifer water. I have tried adding spinach but my current blender won’t handle veggies. I am hoping to buy a vitamix before the current sale go off. I love the looks of your cookbook(going to check it out!).
Pretty soon I will be making my favorite blended soup. Cucumber, mint, greek yogurt, lemon juice, all that good stuff mixed together!
I pretty much live for a good fruit smoothie
It’s so pretty!!!!…. I love making green smoothies!
love your matcha mango smoothie!
Vitamix blenders are the best for making acai bowls! Acai powder in a thick smoothie served in a bowl with toasted coconut, fruit, flax/chia seeds, and drizzled with honey or maple syrup. My fav.
Its so hard to choose just one!! I think I am going to have to go with a good old breakfast smoothie. I love your rainbow breakfast smoothies 🙂
Spinach pineapple green smoothie
Smoothies
Coconut butter!
My family’s favorite blended recipe is passed down but never been written down- Nonno’s pesto. Every fall, my husband and I ceremoniously pull up our herb garden and raid the pantry to fulfill this sacred family tradition.
Well I don’t have a blender currently so haven’t been able to enjoy any of your recipes yet, but I am dying to try the Peach-Ginger green smoothie. Looks like the perfect way to start off a beautiful summer morning!
My favourite blended recipe is my morning green smoothie – it’s the easiest way for me to get my greens in. I follow Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s micronutrient smoothie recipe: 8 large kale leaves, 4-6 rainbow chard leaves with stems, 3 cups (~710 ml) of baby spinach, 2 medium to large carrots, 1 tomato, 1 large avocado, 1 banana, 1 apple, 1 cup (~710ml) of blueberries (fresh or frozen), 1 tall shot glass of flaxseed (optional), and 3 cups (~710 ml) of unsweetened flax milk.
Oooh….touch choice, but I would have to say green gazpacho!
Roasted Cauliflower Soup…. one of my kids favs!
All green smoothie with cucumber, matcha, romaine, spinach, mint, protein powder and chia seeds

Obsessed with almond milk smoothies. Currently loving whipping milk with bananas, quick oats, cinnamon, honey & Greek yogurt = addicting!
My favorite smoothie is actually your Matcha Mango Smoothie! I absolutely love it – especially in the summer. I always add the banana, and I love it with Califia Farms unsweetened almond milk. Thanks for doing this great giveaway!
Mango and pineapple smoothie!
i love to make a blended vegetable soup using what I have on hand.
I enjoy a basic frozen mixed berry smoothie with spinach, banana, shredded coconut, chia seed and acai juice for breakfast.
I love fruit smoothies. Always add bananas and peanut butter.
I’ve been making this blended strawberry margarita with cumin from the tippling bros book recently. It’s savory and wonderful — a new favorite! The beautiful red color would look lovely in a Vitamix…but what wouldn’t?!
I love throwing my vegan garlic cheese sauce into the blender to make it oh so smooth!
Just bought your cookbook two days ago and I’ve already read it cover to cover! I love the beautiful pictures of all your tasty food! I’ve tried several recepies already and have loved each outcome so far!

I’ve tried several recepies already and have loved each outcome so far! I’ve tried the samosas, zucchini lasagna, and the roared red pepper and carrot soup. I think the samosas are my favorite so far, but only by a pinch!

I’ve been loving blended soups more and more. Anything from leek and potato, to lentil sweet potato to curried squash soup.
My favorite blender recipe is Curried Sweet Potato Soup with Crispy Black Lentils by the Sprouted Kitchen
What a beauty. I’d love to have one in my kitchen! My go-to favorite blended recipe is probably a smoothie made with bananas, dates, and almond butter. I can never get the dates quite creamy with my current blender…this one is my dream. xo
Spicy jalapeño margarita. So refreshing.
I love a healthy chickpea hummus recipe with a generous dash of cayenne powder!
banana strawberry/blueberry greek yourt smoothie!
strawberry banana smoothies are my favorite!

Good Luck to everyone 🙂 🙂
I’m crazy about juicing & smoothies! Love love love anything with kale! Matcha kale & peach smoothies Yum!
Hard to pick a fave – but likely during cherry season – whipping up a frosty cherry, lime & coconut milk blended drink
Just when I thought VitaMix couldn’t get better…copper! I love soups in the winter and cashew cream is always a go to!
Cashew/cilantro/lime Crema. I love Smoothies, but it’s the stuff that requires a high-powered blender that I love most!!!
Butternut squash soup with ginger! So good, and I love being able to leave the food processor in the cabinet.
Current obsession: chocolate peanut butter cheesecake…smoothie? Shake? Whatever you want to call it, it’s delicious. Cottage cheese always belongs in shakes. Always. I’d really like to try to make nut butters but I fear my blender isn’t powerful enough.
Strawberry and banana smoothies. Thanks for the chance.
My favorite blended recipe is the green garbanzo leek soup – the perfect blend of veggies and protein!
http://www.loveandlemons.com/green-garabanzo-leek-soup/
Wow, now it takes a bit of dedication to scroll down and comment.
Frozen berry medley + plain yogurt + cocoa powder or handfull of chocolate chips
Although this recipe is not vegan, it never fails to please (and I’m so bummed I can’t eat it any longer!). It’s not super sweet, and the sourness of the yogurt actually really enhances the flavors of the berries. And chocolate is always a bonus!
I love to blend green smoothies and to blend soups to make them silky smooth
Just about every meal I make has a blended sauce! Cashew crema in all of the flavors, including with smoky spices like cumin, turmeric, chili powder and smoked paprika.
I love making any and all kinds of soups, specifically a curry cauliflower and squash soup in the winter! But I could never resist some banana nice cream, any time of the year! 🙂
Green smoothies- almost every single day. I could use a workhorse like a Viramix!
Love smoothies and my fav tip is to use frozen organic spinach. Spinach goes weird so fast in the fridge and the frozen is so much more convenient and already cold!
we love smoothies and soups in our blender – super easy and super healthy
For me it’s all about the smoothies in a Vitamix. My favorite is with 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tsp cocoa powder, 1 sliced frozen banana, a dash of cinnamon, and 3/4 cup iced coffee concentrate. It’s my breakfast and coffee all in one!
Falafel spiced hummus
CREAMY VEGAN POTATO SOUP!!
Obviously love the soups and smoothies, but my absolute favorite blended item is the poblano crema used in the vegan enchilada recipe! TO. DIE. FOR. I have started making extra to add to quinoa bowl dishes and other warm entrees. 🙂 yum!
Obviously love all of the soups and smoothie combination(especially the ginger, pumpkin soup!), but my absolute favorite blended item is the poblano crema used in the vegan enchilada recipe!! TO. DIE. FOR. I have started making extra to use in sauteed quinoa bowls and other entrees. So much flavor!
I love to make smoothies!
I love using my blender for smoothies, sauces and dressings, but it’s getting old and tired… Time for a new one! I just got The Love & Lemons Cookbook this past weekend (looooooove it!) and have been flipping through and flagging recipes to make soon! Would love a new blender to make some of your fabulous recipes!
Hummus, which I currently make in my food processor, but if I had a high speed blender, I’d love that creaminess!
Smoothy and creamy soups!
I make a juice every morning – banana, 1/2 each of apple, lemon, orange, cucumber
piece of ginger, water & ice cubes.
I love your coconut rice with brussel sprout bowl – I top it with fish!
I make a smoothie each morning with elements of fruit, leafy greens, nut butter and seeds!
Apart from that, I tried this avocado pesto sauce once with pomegranate molasses, a bunch of basil, garlic and olive oil – so good on zoodles or any cold salad!
Chocolate milkshakes, hands down!
I love blended veggie soups! I can’t wait to try the gazpacho recipes in your book.
Acai bowls with strawberries, banana, peanut butter and almond milk! That cooper color is gorgeous!
dark chocolate pecan butter!
I use my mom’s recipe for tortilla soup and she uses the blender to smooth the broth.
Absolutely the best, best, B-E-S-T tool for making vegan cheese!
I love a good smoothie – frozen banana, peach, hemp hearts, spinach, water and almond milk. So good!
Going to have to go with curry squash soup– so comforting and delicious, never gets old.
Banana ice cream with crushed cookies!
Butternut squash soup!
Green smoothies are great, but when I’m in the mood for savory, I’m a sucker for a nice creamy cauliflower soup!
For me it’s a tie between three recipes:
First, Mango Avocado Smoothies! It’s super easy – just blended almond milk, mango, peaches, avocado, kale, and honey. I don’t use any ice or yogurt, because I love the creamy, velvety texture you get from the avocado!
Second, chilled cucumber soup. I love cold soups – to me, they’re the epitome of refreshing, especially on a hot summer day! This soup is nice and easy: just blend together cucumber, mint, basil, lemon juice, sour cream, and scallions. Sometimes I like to add a little chopped jalapeno for heat, and serve it with a little diced avocado to add a little richness. You can season it to taste with salt, pepper, lemon juice, or extra hot sauce!
Third is a chilled apricot curry soup. I LOVE this soup more than anything, because it’s that mix of sweet and spicy that I love. It’s a simple purreed curried chicken broth that is thickened with cubes of cream cheese, and served chilled with a dollop of apricot preserves. It’s absolutely heavenly!
Cookie + Kate’s Roasted Butternut Squash Soup!!
I love making tropical fruit smoothies with mango, pineapple, and yogurt! And throwing in some ground flax seed is always a good idea.
My favorite thing to make n the blender these days are smoothies for my toddler! We throw in kale, berries, apples, bananas, kefir, whatever we have on hand and it’s such a great way to get him lots of veggie and fruit nutrients! I’m pretty sure a Vitamix would take take my smoothie making game up to the next level!!! My favorite L&L recipe to blend is the sweet potato Cashew Alfredo! That one is so super good!
I love to make salad dressings, usually with a hand mixer. My fave is a yogurt+lemon+garlic concoction that goes great with plain salads, chicken, shrimp, anything!!
Basil pesto and garlic hummus! Yum! Couldn’t choose only one. 🙂
I love using Iced Tea as my liquid in smoothies. Anything from black iced tea to herbal infusions. Frozen berries, a bit of herbs. So refreshing!
I live off blueberry, banana, and protein powder smoothie. It’s my morning go to!
I love making blended soups like potato fennel or tomato basil – and I always reserve some of the ingredients so that my creamy soups still have some chunks. If I owned a proper blender (I don’t!) I would love to make smoothies for my preschooler and myself to start our mornings a little better!
Quick chimichurri for summer veggies.
My favorite blended product is a salad dressing – composed of carrots, white miso, and ginger. Its so good that I put it on sandwiches, burritos, salads, and even on my yogurt.
I am a huge smoothie gal. I like making a “carrot cake” smoothie bowl with bananas, a bit of pineapple, carrots, almond butter and milk, and cinnamon. Topped with raisins and granola = perfection.
Spinach & fruit smoothie or a roasted tomato soup.
I love smoothies! I always use almond milk, banana, and avocado as a base. Sometimes I’ll add a starbucks via if I need a pick me up.

love a matcha kale & peach smoothie!
My favorite blended things to make are smoothies, but lately I’ve been really into blended soups!! 😀
My recipe fave for the blender is a spinach and almond smoothie. I ballpark measurements so the taste is little different every time which is a nice surprise. Ingredients: yogurt around a cup, 2 bananas, lots of spinach, almond milk however much it takes to blend, honey, and ice cubes. I sometimes add in strawberries for tanginess or almonds for texture.
Another cool trick is to blend split peas for a smooth creamy soup. Yum!
I can’t get enough of green smoothies made with coconut water, spinach, gogi berries, frozen mixed berries and chia seeds!
I love making Butternut Squash Soup! I puree half the soup and cook the rest on the stove. So delicious!

Love creamy smooth butternut squash soup, but having a coveted vitamix would let me indulge my love of green smoothies on the regular!
Definitely any kind of Acai or smoothie bowl!! Nothing beats the satiety and clean energy you feel after one of those!! 💪🏼💪🏼
Hummus. Particularly pumpkin hummus to pair with quesadillas! I used to peel (yes, I’m crazy) my garbanzo beans after cooking them because, well, it made my hummus so buttery smooth I felt it was worth the effort. Enter: my mother’s Vitamix, which I became accustomed to using while I lived at home for a stint during law school. The Vitamix makes hummus so ethereally creamy, I no longer peel garbanzo beans when making hummus, at least, whenever I can borrow my moms. I’m newly married and somehow our wedding guests just completely ignored the Vitamix on our Williams Sonoma registry. Someday 🙂
I make a green smoothie almost every morning with fruit, kale and maca powder and my kids love my cream of broccoli soup!

Thanks for the chance to win!
We have Thanksgiving at my mother’s house, but every year for the past few years I’ve been making a delicious butternut squash soup with nutmeg, sweet paprika, and just a touch of honey and cream. It has become a new family tradition.
Ooh that question is a toughy, but I think I’d have to say banana ice-cream… or creamy guacamole (I knew I wouldn’t be able to pick just one) I think I’m going to dream about that beautiful blender tonight! Congratulations on the book launch, I can’t wait to pick up my own copy. xx
I really enjoy making different smoothies for my family. My husband really loves when I make him all kind of smoothies and being he has been gone for quit a few years over seas for work, I am now going to be making them more than ever!!! Our daughters love them too, and I feel pretty happy about all the healthy ways I can add in so many healthy veggies they would not normally eat… Thanks for a chance to win that Beautiful Vitamix, it would look so Amazing in my kitchen ha ha…
Green smoothie variations every morning! All depends on what’s in my fridge, what’s in season. Generally has spinach, kale, romaine, cucumber, celery, an apple, a banana, an entire lemon and various spices (cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, etc). Sometimes avocado for some extra creamy goodness….. I’m drinking one now 🙂

The cilantro jalapeno hummus is amazing!
Caulifower Alfredo sauce is so good, but honestly any mylk. Oat and almond have been ones I make the most, but I have so much fun making any kind. Plus there’s so much you can do with the plup, it’s like a two for one recipe!
I really enjoy my husband’s hummus-yum!
One of my favorite things to do is to blend roasted and/or raw vegetables to make delicious sauces – these add so much to main dishes and are also a great way to camouflage veggies if you have kids who will only eat pasta.
I love a blend of tomatoes, red peppers, zucchini and a little bit of well-caramelized onion. There’s just enough sweetness and the fresh flavors really come through! If you have egg, chicken or fish eaters in your family they’ll really enjoy this sauce with their meal too.
All different kinds of pesto!
Smoothie bowls!
My SIL has been making this delicious cauliflower soup in her blender and I’d love to make it at my own home 🙂

I may be too happy staring at the copper mixer to think of making almond milk smoothies:)
I love starting everyday with a smoothie. My favorite breakfast is pineapple, mango, spinach, and ginger! A little greek yogurt adds plenty of protein.

One that I still have to invent… BUT without further ado, it will contain love & lemon. Ha! Our last blender got up in smoke (forshizzle). I made a video & sent it to the manufacturers, no biggie to get a refund after that.
SO now we have safely avoided a meltdown, the time is right to get back to the nitty gritty & blend blend blend. As I live in Europe, I am HAPPY to take the shipping on as I don’t think you ship international? Lots of xoxo. A fan of you since forever ago with a favorite recipe in mind (think pomegranate & sweet potato).
date and coffee rice milk shake…
love your blog! thank-you!

Summer has arrived, even way up north here in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Time to celebrate on my deck with Love & Lemons Green Gazpacho, and Carrot Gazpacho With Lemongrass. And a glass of Minty French 75 🙂 I just received your fab cookbook for my 60th Birthday from my children….I’m a very lucky Mom. Thank you, Jeanine!
As of late, I’ve really been digging simple stuff. On Sundays I make broth, some sort of grain and then roast some vegetables (butternut squash had been my favorite) for the week. Then every afternoon, I just chuck the broth and vegetables and a few herbs in the blender for a quick soup. Top with quinoa, or brown rice, or whatever I’ve got going on that week, and a drizzle of oil, and chili flake, and I’m a happy person.
Smoothies are the #1 thing I make in the blender and now that we are getting into spring and summer probably popsicles for my girls.
