Which types of food are suitable for blending?
Your blender is suitable for blending most types of
food to a liquid including fruits, vegetables, home-
made soups (when cooled) and drinks.
Bananas, berries, mango, peaches, plums,
nectarines, apple, pear and melon all make
delicious blended drinks when blended with a
little liquid. Experiment with the addition of a little
milk, or dairy-free alternative, yogurt, rice milk or
coconut milk.
Carrots, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, avocado,
cucumber can all be blended with the addition of
a little water or stock.
Some great blender recipe books are available
for drinks and soups or try searching on-line for
different ideas.
CAUTION: Do not use the blender to blend hard
ingredients such as coffee beans, ice cubes,
mixtures containing fruit stones cereals and
chocolate in lumps as these may damage the
blades.
Preparing fruit or vegetables for blending
• Wash the ingredients.
If preferred, peel fruit and vegetables before
preparation.
• Remove stones, pips or cores.
Soft fruit and vegetables can now be chopped
roughly. Hard fruit and vegetables should be
chopped finely or grated.
Blending soup
• If you are making soup cook the soup
ingredients gently to soften up and form a
soup base.
• Allow the mixture to cool completely.
• Use the blender to liquidise the soup.
Cautions in use
• Never operate the blender without the lid or
cap.
• Never fill the blender above the maximum
1500ml/48oz marks on the jug. If you have
more ingredients than this to blend, split them
into batches to blend separately.
