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.

What is your favourite smoothie recipe? Perhaps you like to keep things simple like me, or do you like to experiment and mix it up?

  18. Well… since I really like the Berry Cream Sensation from Booster Juice, that is what I try to recreate at home with the twist of pineapple.
    Frozen Mixed Berries
    Greek Yogourt
    Pineapple Juice

    Simple. Done. The quantities of juice/berries/yogurt is really to taste and how you like the consistency of your smoothie. Additionally, if your berries or super-frozen, you might need less berries or more juice/yogurt. You really have to play with it.

I tweak it sometimes with either peppermint extract, coffee, or peanut butter etc. There are so many ways you can adjust this basic recipe to your mood. My Nutri bullet just broke on me, so I’m feeling deprived right now!

  30. 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.

  31. 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.
