Look, it’s no secret that not many people have a blender at home. So, if you are wondering how to make a fruit smoothie with a hand blender you have come to the right place.
Based on a survey we made, people are more likely to have a hand blender at home than a blender. So, naturally, we had to create a recipe for a smoothie made with a hand blender.
Can You Make a Smoothie With a Hand Blender
Making a smoothie with hand blender can be a bit tricky…not to mention messy! But, you can absolutely make a smoothie using a hand blender.
The problem with making smoothies with a hand blender is the fact that you will never be able to achieve that smooth consistency the electric blender achieves.
However, the secret to making a smoothie with a hand blender is to use fruits that are easy to break down. We kept our smoothie a bit chunky because we don’t mind the chunk, we added a bit of chopped fresh mint, but this is optional.
This banana smoothie with hand blender is totally dairy-free and vegan friendly too, by the way!
How To Make a Smoothie With a Hand Blender
You will need:
1. Ripe Banana
2. Ripe Raspberries
3. Smooth Peanut Butter
4. Coconut Water
Put all the ingredients in a bowl, then put the hand blender on top, cover the bowl (making sure that the hand blender is inside the bowl) and start blitzing with the hand blender.
The reason we covered the bowl with a towel, is because it can get a bit messy when you blitz the ingredients with the hand blender.
