Food blender for a taste explosion
An electric food blender is a great way to pack taste and nutrition into your daily diet. Whiz up sauces and dips, make soups and nut milks, create smooth mousses, batters and purées or mince ingredients as a base for your recipes. By breaking down ingredients, a blender keeps all the goodness and fibre while releasing the flavour. Experiment with combinations for new taste sensations.
A food blender to eat the rainbow
We all know that it's a good idea to eat a colourful diet. But, it's not always easy to pack in all that glorious fruit and veg. Having a highly efficient blender makes it easier to eat a wider variety and you get to admire all the beautiful colours you create.
Vegetables are full of micronutrients. They're often low in calories and high in valuable fibre that the body needs. Fruits are a powerhouse of energy and bursting with vitamins and minerals. Blues, reds, greens, yellows all bring their own benefits, so try making vibrant blends that your body will love.

Go nuts for vegan food
We can all enjoy clean, plant-based food, whether we are vegan or not.
Nut butters in your food blender
Nuts are stars of the vegan diet - satisfying, nutritious, filling and delicious. You can use your food blender to make homemade nut butters. Decide how smooth or crunchy you prefer your nut butter and then either eat it out of the jar or use it as a basis for sauces, snacks and meals - from chocolate brownies to curries.
Make your own plant-based milk
Plant-based milks can also be made in a food blender as an alternative to dairy milk. Try almond, cashew, hazelnut, cooked rice or hemp seeds and throw in dates and vanilla extract. Once blended, you can strain your milk through a sieve lined with cheesecloth and it's ready to drink.
Tip for vegan seasoning
Vegan food is big news and you can enjoy its delights even if you're not a fully fledged vegan. Make your own vegan seasoning in a food blender to add some oomph to your dishes every day.
Try 3/4 cup of cashews, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast, 1 tsp mustard seeds, salt and pepper to taste. We like to add a bit of cumin too.
Grind in a blender at a slow speed until it's about the consistency of parmesan cheese.
That's it! You can use this in just about everything to add depth with a cheesy, nutty flavour.
What else can you make in a blender?
Soup? Yes! Smoothies? Of course. But you can go much further too. Lots of foods will surprise you by being better in a blender. You can make nutritious peanut butter or fluffy scrambled eggs.
Blend pizza sauce in bulk or feed your Mexican food obsession with smooth refried beans. Homemade lemonade is another refreshing idea for getting the most from that shiny blender. Make a jug today!
A blender is your very own smoothie maker
Blending your own smoothies at home is a fast-track to a healthier daily diet. You can pack in fruit, vegetables, nuts, grains and pulses and create something delicious in seconds. All our electric blenders are amazing smoothie makers, but the Blender K150, with its special ice crush setting, is our smoothie maker extraordinaire.
Ice cream made in a blender
For many of us, ice cream makes it to the top of our list of favourite foods. You don't need an ice cream maker to whiz up your own.
It's fun to make ice cream in a food blender and means you can perfectly suit your taste. All you need is milk, ice, sugar and flavouring like cocoa powder, vanilla extract, orange zest, berries or bananas. Experiment with milk powder or whipping cream if you like it thick. Voilà! Your own brand of homemade ice cream.
Life with more sauce
Freshly made sauces lift any meal or snack. Our favourites to make at home with an blender include tzatziki, pesto and watercress sauce. All of them look satisfyingly green and are packed with goodness for mind and body.
Why not switch up your shop-purchased sauces and dips for homemade versions? You'll really taste the difference. Save time by making big batches and then store the leftovers in mini containers.

Blending your own baby food
Making your own baby food means you know exactly what's in it. You're in control of the taste, ingredients, texture and amount, so it's that's just right for your baby.
All our KitchenAid blenders will create the perfect purée for feeding your little one. The Blender K400 - Artisan, however, gives you the option of BPA-free 200ml small batch jars, just the right size for storing baby portions. Choose the small batch jars with blade assembly, and you can even blend your purée straight into the jar.
Super soups, super quick
Soup is a great way to squeeze (or even hide) lots of nutrition-packed ingredients into a meal. If you use a blender, you can throw in all sorts of tough, or fibrous, foods and still get a beautifully smooth texture that everyone will love.
Choose our Blender Power Plus - Artisan and, thanks to its exclusive Thermal Control Jar, you can not only blend, but heat soup too, in just five minutes! A great way to make a healthy meal at home in no time.
Dreamy smoothies
Try kick-starting your day with a smoothie for breakfast. Whizz up a smoothie in the blender processor for a healthy and delicious creation in seconds. As well as classic ingredients like strawberries, honey or bananas, you can experiment with nuts, leafy veggies and herbs too.
Our Blender K150 - Artisan makes light work of a tray of ice cubes if you like your smoothies extra cold. Make yours pink, green or yellow to brighten your mood and rely on our blender to make it velvety smooth.
