I loooooooove, especially for hot items like soups, a hand blender. I believe it is essential. It can be so unwieldy to pour hot soups into a blender. The hand blender is fast to use and fast to clean, and the soup can stay in the pot.
I actually used my blender today to make a smoothie to help a little one with constipation, but it was tasty even if you’re not only seeking fiber. One banana, a big handful of frozen blueberries, a tablespoon of coconut oil, a tablespoon of ground flax seed, 1 tbsp raw honey, and enough of your favorite liquid to make the blender work, but not much more. We used delicious raw milk, but kefir, yogurt, any kind of “milk” will do and add a bit of protein. Add less milk than you think. You can always add more.
Serves 2.
I meant to clarify, the smoothie was in the regular blender.
