Your blender brings out vibrant flavors and perfect textures with minimal effort.
➤ Tip: For ultra-smooth sauces, blend on high speed and add liquid slowly.

Salad Dressings & Marinades
Blending dressings helps them emulsify and stay silky-smooth, ensuring that oil and vinegar or citrus don’t separate. A quick whirl in the blender breaks down herbs and seasonings into a uniform, balanced mixture with bold, infusible flavor and a pourable texture that clings perfectly to greens, grains, and roasted veggies. It’s the easiest way to elevate your salads and sides with fresh, homemade taste.
➤ Tip: For better emulsification, blend on low speed while slowly pouring in the oil (oil should be added during blending, not before).

Smoothies & Flavored Drinks
Smoothies and flavored drinks are the blender’s most iconic use—and for good reason. They’re fast, filling, and endlessly customizable to suit your taste, mood, or nutritional goals. Whether you’re blending up a fruity smoothie or a protein-packed, refreshing cooler, the possibilities are limitless. You can keep it light and hydrating or make it rich and satisfying—it’s your drink, your rules.
➤ Pro Tip: For the creamiest results, use frozen fruit and a splash of liquid, then add your mix-ins (like protein powder, nuts, or seeds) last to preserve texture. Blend on high speed until smooth.
