What's your perfect blend?
On her wildly popular recipe blog, Tess Masters-aka, The Blender Girl-shares easy plant-based recipes that anyone can whip up fast in a blender. Tess's lively, down-to-earth approach has attracted legions of fans looking for quick and fun ways to prepare healthy food. In The Blender Girl , Tess's much-anticipated debut cookbook, she offers 100 whole-food recipes that are gluten-free and vegan, and rely on natural flavors and sweeteners. Many are also raw and nut-, soy-, corn-, and sugar-free.
Smoothies, soups, and spreads are a given in a blender cookbook, but this surprisingly versatile collection also includes appetizers, salads, and main dishes with a blended component, like Fresh Spring Rolls with Orange-Almond Sauce , Twisted Caesar Pleaser , Spicy Chickpea Burgers with Portobello Buns and Greens , and I-Love-Veggies! Bake . And even though many of Tess's smoothies and shakes taste like dessert- Apple Pie in a Glass , Raspberry-Lemon Cheesecake , or Tastes-Like-Ice- Cream Kale , anyone?-her actual desserts are out-of this-world good, from Chocolate-Chile Banana Spilly to Flourless Triple-Pecan Mousse Pie and Chai Rice Pudding . Best of all, every recipe can easily be adjusted to your personal taste- add an extra squeeze of this, another handful of that, or leave something out altogether- these dishes are super forgiving, so you can't mess them up.
Details on the benefits of soaking, sprouting, and dehydrating; proper food combining; and eating raw, probiotic-rich, and alkaline ingredients round out this nutrient-dense guide. But you don't have to understand the science of good nutrition to run with The Blender Girl-all you need is a blender and a sense of adventure. So dust off your machine and get ready to find your perfect blend.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 208-211) and index.
