I use it to blend my fruit smoothies. I think it's WAY easier than using a blender. I use the choper part of it. Be careful though, mine has gotten loose from using the wrong way. when pulling out, detach from the motor part before pulling it out.0

herbamare seasoning or seasoning of choice
olive oil
saute onion in olive oil
add a cup ofchicken or vegateable stock and bring to boil reduce to simmer
atdd spenach and stir until it has wilted in.
add teh rest of stock return to boil to further cool spenach add seasoning.
blend it smooth and enjoy
add a litte sour cream, cream cheese or greek yogurt to make it creamy
I'm sure this coudl be done with any leafy green.0 -
I use something similar to mix my protein shakes directly in the cup. I have also used it to make fruit smoothies, but the chopper doesn't break the ice.0

This might sound weird but I like to blend up pineapple chunks with a splash of water until it is frothy. Yummy drink and less calories than a traditional smoothie - it is a nice change from eating whole fruit....I have tried other fruits but like pineapple the best!0

I don't use ice in my smoothies, I use frozen fruit, yogurt and milk.0 -
I just bought an immersion blender too! I have an extremely small kitchen with barely any cabinent space so thought it would be better than getting a blender right now. I am going to use mine when I make pumpkin soup, and going to try making a creamed broccoli soup as well. But you can just use it for anything you would a blender!0
