Review: The Blender Girl by Tess Masters

July 31, 2014 By Joi Sigers

The Blender Girl
 

The Blender Girl: Super-Easy, Super-Healthy Meals, Snacks, Desserts, and Drinks–100 Gluten-Free, Vegan Recipes! is currently the number 1 bestseller in blender recipes on Amazon and is receiving rave reviews.

Here comes another one!

As I’ve said 1,000,001 times, I collect cookbooks – they’re an obsession of mine. I don’t know where the fixation came from, but since my first cookbook (I was 16 at the time)  to my most recent cookbook (never you mind about the age..), I treat each like any collector treats their individual prizes… like treasure.  Someone once asked if I sell my cookbooks after I’ve reviewed or read them. I said… well, never you mind about that, too.

The Blender Girl is the most recent prized addition to my cookbook collection.  It’s full of gluten free and healthy recipes and I can’t wait to try each one.   Although the gorgeous author is on the cover drinking a smoothie, this cookbook is more than just smoothie recipes.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m ALL about smoothie recipes and the ones in this collection are fantastic – but I do love the fact that The Blender Girl has a wide variety of recipes. Below are just a few:

  • Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake (shake)
  • Pineapple Salsa (smoothie)
  • Artichoke and White Bean Dip
  • Incredibly Edible Edamame Dip
  • Onion and Herb Socca
  • French Dressing
  • Greek Salad/Dressing
  • Creamy Cauliflower (soup)
  • Thyme for Corn Chowder
  • Pesto
  • Chili
  • Pizza/Pizza Sauce
  • Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff
  • Key Lime Pudding
  • Orange Dreamsicles
  • Mint Chip Ice Cream
  • Sugar-Free No Pumpkin Pie
  • Healthy Butter
  • Many, many, many more!

If you’re committed to healthier eating, this honestly should be the next cookbook you buy. In addition to the wonderful recipes, you’ll learn the many benefits of eating a more wholesome diet. You’ll also learn all about  soaking, sprouting, and dehydrating; proper food combining; and eating raw, probiotic-rich, and alkaline ingredients. Fortunately, it’s all in a very easy to understand format.  You don’t need a dietitian’s degree or nutritionist’s experience.

You just need a blender!

This is a beautiful, very detailed, and reader-friendly cookbook that’ll help get you on your way to cleaner, healthier eating. See The Blender Girl: Super-Easy, Super-Healthy Meals, Snacks, Desserts, and Drinks–100 Gluten-Free, Vegan Recipes! for more information. This book is also available on Kindle.

Note: I received this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for this review. The opinions are entirely my own.

Colorful Summertime Smoothie Recipe

June 3, 2011 By Joi Sigers

Summertime Smoothie Recipe from KRUPS

Somewhere along the line, this coffee and tea aficionado has become equally obsessed with smoothies.  Whether I buy them or make them, I find that drinking them is an other-worldly experience.  I love trying different fruit, yogurt, and flavoring combinations – the results are always delicious.  I guess I can blame my great love of smoothies (and I’ll admit it, shakes) for a recent mishap in the kitchen… I burned my blender up!

So, yeah, I’m in the market for a new blender! KRUPS recently sent me a few healthy, delicious-sounding recipes to post on the food blog, so I’m pretty sure I’ll consider them when I make my next purchase – which will have to be right away because their Summertime Detox Smoothie sounds amazing. I’m on board for anything that calls for raspberries and I’ve found that Almond Milk is excellent in smoothies. Click the following link for a delicious Vanilla Almond Milk Smoothie Recipe.

I’ll post the other recipes separately.

The KRUPS Motor Technik Blender is a powerful yet quiet device with five speeds and six powerful blades to create a variety of different types of textures. A 1,000-watt electronic motor controls the system, and it has an illuminated touch-pad control panel. It also features a 60-ounce borosilicate glass jar with a locking lid and removable measuring cap.

Whether making smoothies, high-protein hummus or fat-free sorbets, this blender has multiple capabilities to suit everyone’s dietary needs.

Below is a healthy smoothie recipe from KRUPS to enjoy using the Motor Technik Blender.

Summertime Detox Smoothie Recipe from KRUPS

12 ounces Acai Juice
6 ounces almond milk
1 Tbsp soy creamer
1 cup frozen wild blueberries
1 banana (frozen)
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1 Tbsp Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal
1 cup coconut water ice cubes
1 Tbsp Macro Greens powder
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1-3 dashes cayenne powder

Combine all ingredients in blender, and blend until smooth.

 

 

I’ll feature the other recipes they passed along in another post. Watch for them, they are absolute things of beauty: Pineapple Sorbet, Mediterranean Hummus, and Fresh Salsa Verde! Don’t worry, they’ll be right behind this post – and i just made a second pot of coffee, so the ole girl’s moving pretty fast.
