Interesting non smoothie things to do with Nutribullet type blender

[Swannykazoo]

So far - cucumber blended to green froth to add to Gin nTonic - v v good
Thai curry paste - v good
Homemade lemonade - v good
Peaches for bellini. Ok so. - slight waste of prosecco if you ask me
MN recipe with jarred red pepper onion and garlic to make 2 min pasta sauce - v good
What else can I do with my not actually a nutribullet but something similar blender that will be interesting and not a smoothie? Especially not a kale smoothie.

I use mine to make milkshakes and for muffin recipes that don't require flour. Also nut butters and pesto.

Almond butter?
Hummus?
Soup?
Blend up some fruit and make ice lollies?

I make veggie burgers with mine

Nut allergic child but hummus and pesto a good idea (especially as we also need dairy free pesto)
I only ever had milkshakes involving Crusha and milk but presumably you meand fruit + milk (or milk substitute)....?

Milkshakes using ice cream, milk and soft fruits.

How do you do the lemonade in the blender then? I regularly make batches of lemonade 'cordial' to add to hot or cold water as and when needed, I hand juice like 16 to 20 large fat lemons at a time! I have awesomely strong hands and wrists

Oh, and I make coffee milkshakes with the blender. Coffee, ice cream, condensed milk, milk... Sooo bloody good but of course I limit myself to once in a blue moon.

Peanut butter, blending soup, milkshakes.

BBC gooodfood recipe. 4 whole lemons chopped into bits, about 100g caster sugar and splash of water. Whizz into froth. Then push it through sieve with a spoon over a jug to save the juice and chuck the peel mush. They suggest topping up with still or soda water but topped up with tonic water is amazing, I've been meaning to try a grapefruit version too

Oh that's a good idea. Why I didn't think to do that, that's really good. I'm guessing the peel is cut off first.. I'm off to the website to find out for myself.

When I got mine I blended chicken breast with a bit of chicken stock and some Thai flavours (ginger etc). Then tried it

The result was like really fine ground meat - sort of the same consistency as scrambled egg. Delicious over a salad but kind of weird.

I must start using mine. These are excellent ideas. I've only used mine for smoothies and hummus and then I got bored of it.

Needatrim - no don't cut the peel off. Just chop the whole lemons into chunks and blitz. The peel doesn't go through the sieve but lets the essetial oils in.

Oooo-oooh! I'm going to give it a go. I bought in lemons for a new batch of lemonade already. This is perfect timing.

I'm also going to have a go at peanut butter. And if a success then I will use that to make P. B biscuits. Mmmmm.

Pancakes - quickest and least messy way to make batter ever, also easy to store left over batter in the fridge. Pan on, two eggs and milk into the jar, pinch of salt then flour, whizz, it's done by the time the pan is hot. A ladle fits in perfectly to scoop out a pancake sized portion.

Hurray! Another thing to try. Strawberry milkshake went down very well
