Once relegated to the back of a kitchen cabinet, the blender is having a renaissance in a big way. The smoothie<\/a> trend has helped, sure, but one main reason for the rebirth of the appliance: the shift toward bitty blenders. Because they require much less muscle to maneuver \u2014 not to mention they take up much less space \u2014 mini high-speed blenders like the Magic Bullet and Nutribullet have become kitchen staples<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Plus, thanks to inventive chefs and bloggers, we\u2019re realizing the prolific possibilities that these tools provide. When you\u2019re ready to concoct some unique, healthy and delicious Nutribullet recipes, start with these eight options for breakfast, lunch<\/a>, dinner or dessert<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s possible to enjoy a piping-hot plate of pancakes on a weekday morning!

2. Strawberry Colada Smoothie<\/a><\/h3>\n

The standard fruit and yogurt smoothie is basic blender fare, but this candy cane-hued drink is like smoothie 2.0. Using two blender cups \u2014 one for the strawberries and the other for the banana-pineapple blend \u2014 you can mix up the eye-catching swirl in a matter of minutes.

3. Blender Roasted Vegetable Marinara Sauce<\/a><\/h3>\n

Crank up the flavor in your Italian dinner with this simple sauce recipe<\/a>. After blending, it looks like a classic marinara, but the recipe sneaks in way more veggies than your typical tomato. Onion, garlic, carrots and squash also blend in, for extra flavor and nutrition. Scoop the finished product atop noodles, zoodles<\/a> or swirl it on a pizza crust before finishing with more veggies, grilled chicken and a bit of cheese.

4. No-Cream Creamy Basil Spinach Soup<\/a><\/h3>\n

A high-speed blender is the secret to transform a heap of vegetables, a handful of herbs and some broth into a creamy, decadent soup<\/a>. Cut this zucchini-leek recipe in half to easily process the skinny starter in a Nutribullet or Magic Bullet. Photo and recipe: Mel \/ Mel\u2019s Kitchen caf\u00e9<\/em><\/p>\n

5. Easy Apple Cider Vinegar Aioli<\/a><\/h3>\n

Use your blender to whip up this small-batch aioli recipe. Simply add olive oil, a quarter cup at a time (blending between each addition), to the egg yolk, apple cider vinegar<\/a> and garlic until the sauce reaches a creamy, emulsified consistency. Try this aioli as a dipping sauce for oven-fried fish or as a sandwich spread. Photo and recipe: Alison Murray \/ Om Nom Ally<\/em><\/p>\n

6. Creamy Vegan Pasta with Sauteed Kale and Tomatoes<\/a><\/h3>\n

Cheese-free Alfredo sauce does<\/em> exist! It may sound crazy, but it tastes crazy-amazing. Soak cashews in water overnight, blend with oil, herbs and garlic, and mix with your noodles or zoodles of choice. Now vegans and paleo devotees can partake in the pasta party, too.

7. 3-Minute Key Lime Pudding<\/a><\/h3>\n

Never toss your leftover avocado<\/a> again. Instead, toss together this easy dessert recipe to give it a happy home. This sweet and tangy pudding looks like it\u2019s made the classic way with milk, sugar, cornstarch and limes, but its blended texture actually hides an avocado and an overripe banana, too. Lots more nutrition; even better flavor. Photo and recipe: Lorena \/ Green Healthy Cooking<\/em><\/p>\n

8. Simple Maple Pumpkin Puree<\/a><\/h3>\n

Similar to pumpkin butter, this warmly-spiced pumpkin<\/a> puree calls for a blender to evenly incorporate the maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and water (for easy spreading). Stir a spoonful into your coffee for a DIY PSL<\/a> or add a dollop to your Greek yogurt or oatmeal<\/a>. So good, you\u2019ll want to make multiple batches.
