Don&#8217;t just let it collect dust on the countertop or, worse, lie forgotten in a cabinet. You don&#8217;t have to be a master chef to make amazing mixtures with this appliance, and there are several simple and quick ways to incorporate the blender into your daily kitchen routine.<\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#440e62\">Breakfast<\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Grind your own coffee beans for the freshest taste. It&#8217;s cheaper than buying them pre-ground at the store, too.<\/li>\n<li>Start off the day with a burst of energy by mixing a fruit smoothie for breakfast. Fresh bananas and strawberries blended with yogurt and orange juice make a delicious and healthy treat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#440e62\">Lunch<\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are a variety of soups you can whip up easily, including soups that can be served cold, like Gazpacho. Whether you like creamy or thick soup, a blender makes mixing the ingredients together simple and keeps all the juices and flavors intact.<\/li>\n<li>Dress up salads and sandwiches with homemade mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, vegetable spreads, and salad dressings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#440e62\">Dinner<\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blenders are also good at grinding spices and maintaining their full flavor. Try processing whole garlic, peppercorn, and mustard seeds for an extra kick in your sauces or dressings.<\/li>\n<li>There are numerous online recipes for simple pies and mousses that can be quickly pureed in the blender and then chilled for dessert. <\/li>\n<li>Of course, everyone enjoys a mixed drink or a milkshake as an after-dinner treat. Whether it&#8217;s a fruit juice mix for the kids or margaritas for the grown-ups, the blender makes short work of ice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\">\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/brittany-rowland\/\"><img src=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/graphics\/authors\/brittany_rowland_50.jpg\" alt=\"Brittany Rowland\" title=\"Brittany Rowland\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><sup><strong><font color=\"#440e62\">Brittany Rowland researches new developments in Appliances, Kitchen and CE products features with a vigor to which few would aspire&#8230; but someone has to do it.<\/font> <a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/brittany-rowland\/\">See more about Brittany<\/a><\/strong><\/sup><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"bgheading\">Related Top 10 Lists<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/best-blender-reviews\/\">Top 10 Blenders<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/images\/blenders\/waring-wpb80bc.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 Blenders\" class=\"post_thumbnail thumbnail\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"bgpara\">As we chose our top 10 blenders, we had several considerations in mind, such as: 1.
