Kitchen Essentials - Blender
A blender is possibly the kitchen accessory of the moment. Making soups is no longer a thing of the past and something only your Granny does. Some recipes are really simple and those with any type of vegetables in are a great way to get your five a day. As are smoothies. Any left over fruit needn’t been thrown away if you have a blender. Simply stick it all in with some fruit juice or milk along with ice and you have a healthy drink that you’d have to pay a fortune for in a café.
