Everyone needs a great blender in the kitchen. I think we can all agree how awesome blenders technology has become. Blenders used to be limited to adjustable settings for faster or slower blending. Things have changed a lot! The Ninja Chef DUO 1500-Watt Blender has Auto-iQ technology to enable one-touch blending of your favourite recipes. In addition it has a clean program that helps removed food residue from beneath the blades. Best of all: Best Buy is giving away 3 of these great blenders in this contest!
You will be blown away by the features of the Ninja Chef DUO. One of my pet-peeves with older blenders was the small jar: I could never make enough in one batch for my two children and myself. Problem solved since the Ninja has a huge 72 oz. blender pitcher. Okay, perhaps you don’t always need something big. Like if you’re creating your personal favourite smoothie—you don’t want to use a huge blender for that. Problem solved: the Ninja comes with a 24oz. slim high-speed blender cup.
What will you create first if you win a Ninja Blender
If I had the Ninja blender, I’d whip up a banana-strawberry smoothie like I used to when my kids were little, with one or two fresh banana and a cup of strawberries I had frozen in advance. My daughter loved this with a splash of milk back then, but now that she is vegan I would substitute cashew milk.

Blue berry, Kale, apple and banana
Fav smoothie= milk/banana/chocolate.
Simple to make but so delicious. Banana, almonds, blueberries (frozen) and either milk or water. I prefer regular (dairy) milk but you could use almond or coconut milk if you wanted. Basic, but easy to build on if you wanted to add anything.
If I had the Ninja blender, I’d make my son’s favorite smoothie……pineapple/mango.
My favourite smoothie recipe In a blender, combine banana, frozen blueberries, frozen peach slices, yogurt and syrup. Blend until smooth. add rice milk and blend to desired consistency. Pour into glasses and serve.
My favourite is a blueberry banana smoothie. Use 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, one slightly overripe banana, 1/2 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh), and 1/2 cup milk. Use more milk if too thick. Add a sweetener to taste if you need it. Blend. This is a great way to use up overripe bananas.
