Got a new Ninja blender on Prime Day? I was surprised at the things I could make

by DTM | Posted on

If you’ve just bought a Ninja blender in Prime Day then you are going to be in for a treat. Not only are you (probably) feeling savvy from saving some top dollar on one of the most popular appliance brand, but you’re also probably excited to be getting to blend – that’s why you bought it, right?

A blender is perfect for making smooth liquids. Your favorite fruit and vegetables can be pulverized whole or in large chunks, saving you precious chopping time. And some of the best blenders can be used to blend frozen berries (for example) to turn them into a chilled smoothie for sipping in the sun. 

But have you thought about using a blender to make milkshakes, soups or even oat milk? A Ninja blender is the appliance for the job. Instead of packing it full of fruit and veg all the time, think about adding some milk to some blended strawberries (for a strawberry milkshake). Or adding some water and seasoning to a mix of vegetables for a soup.

If, like me, you drink oat milk in your household then blending your own oats and adding some water can save you a lot of money (and I mean A LOT). You’ll need to get the consistency right – we tend to go for 1 cup of oats to 4 cups of water – to get the perfect balance. Then you’ll need to strain it through a fine cloth or muslin. And then you’ve made oat milk. It really is as easy as that. 

You’ll find that it does separate a little so each time you go to use your homemade oat milk, give it a shake. It’s perfect on cereals and in tea, we’ve found anyway.

To make all of the above, you’ll need a good blender and we can not recommend a Ninja blender enough. If you have already bought a blender then you can start experimenting straight away, but if you haven’t bought a blender just yet then below you’ll see some Prime Deals which are still on – but not for much longer.
