Description: Many people use a food processor for basic things like smoothies and protein drinks, but blender recipes go so much farther than that. New and creative inventions of food combinations and ways to use one happen almost daily, and we have a few for you.
Introduction: The food processor concept has been around since 1922, when it was originally developed by a Polish-American chemist named Shephen Poplawski. His design was simple but very effective and has been improved and redesigned for almost a century. It was originally used to mix cocktails but didn’t pick up steam in modern society until people discovered how well it chopped food.
No longer would someone have to puree, chop, or mince by hand. Now, we have blenders that have a large number of settings, like the best ninja blender, which is designed to take culinary efficiency to heights previously unheard-of. And with these wonderful and creative new features, recipes have evolved in kind. As has the design of the blender, including handheld models.
The brave, New blender recipe world
The food chopper has gone compact, handheld, and portable. With these advents, using them to do things like use an immersion model for making mashed potatoes or using a Magic Bullet for whipping up a quick smoothie in its own cup, have become commonplace.
Many immersion blender recipes, blender bottle recipes, and even blender ice cream recipes exist now for people who need things faster than in the past. Speed and efficiency are paramount to keeping up in this hustle-and-bustle world. But none of these blender recipes detract from the overall value of the product produced. They are just different.
New food chopper recipes for your cooking pleasure
1. Cauliflower pizza crust
There have been many new alternatives to bread, but one that has risen to the top of the tasty-choice charts is ground cauliflower. These fall under the category of vegetarian blender recipes, but also apply to vegans.
For this recipe, all you need is some cauliflower, eggs and cheese. Blend it up to a fine almost powder, similar to what looks like lumpy flour. In a bowl safe for microwaving, cook it for 4 minutes, then let cool for 5.
This next part is very important. Place all the contents of the cooled bowl on a towel and squeeze all the moisture out of the blended mix. The more liquid you squeeze out, the better it will form when being made into pizza crust.
Put the cauliflower in a bowl with an egg, parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese (both ¼ cup each), add garlic powder, salt, rosemary and oregano, and mix together.
This is the most interesting feature of this crust. After you flatten out your “dough ball” and shape it like a pizza, it has to be baked at 500 degrees for 10-15 minutes before you add the toppings. After you add the toppings, broil for about 3 minutes to heat the toppings and melt the cheese, and your pizza is done.
2. Homemade Peanut Butter
For a good long while, peanut butter has been used as a protein replacement for meat to build more muscle during workouts. But what if you could make it at home and do your version without all the unhealthy stuff in most store bought peanut butter.
For your best fitness blender recipes and healthy blender recipes for vegan
protein alternatives, try this and see if it doesn’t help you build lean muscle, lose weight, but still retain that great flavor.
First, obviously, we start with peanuts. Lots of peanuts. As many as you want. This can also work for other nuts, too, like pistachios or walnuts. Then simply pour your nut of choice into your blender and let them have it.
The natural oils in the nuts will separate, then reconstitute to the nut pieces as they get smaller and smaller. Use a rubber spatula to clear it off the sides of the processing cup, then blend further, eventually witnessing the magic of your nuts becoming smooth and creamy.
3. Ground meat
This is great for instant pot blender recipes, which are great for gumbo and other dishes that can use chopped meat products, especially fish. They can also work well for blender soup recipes if adding the reduced broth from blended chicken will add a healthy enhancement.
What makes blending your own meat especially significant is that you can decide on how lean you want it, and you can combine it with other meats seamlessly. We have all heard of turducken. It would be much easier to throw that duck, turkey and chicken in a food processor, then make some ground turducken burgers. Less messy, too
Grinding your own meat gives you a better control of the taste, the contents, and the health value of your meat. Never have to worry what might have slipped into that ground beef at the market, or how old that ground turkey is, even if it has a date. Blending your own meat into a usable product takes out the guesswork.
All you must do for this recipe option is make sure it is nice and tenderized. Use salt, use a mallet, use your fists, but do what you must do not overtax your food processor.
