Blending Outside the Box: Get the Most from Your Blender
Unleash your blender’s potential. From fresh salsa to cocktails, explore how PROMiXX SENSE’s cordless power and anti-jam tech broaden your culinary horizons.
Read time: 10 minutes
We’ve all used our blenders to whip up nutritious smoothies, mix perfectly smooth protein shakes, or the occasional homemade sauce. But the very best blenders - especially ones as powerful and versatile as our PROMiXX SENSE - can do a whole lot more than make a fruity drink.
Thanks to its intelligent anti-jam settings, world-first bi-directional blades that blend and mix, and a surprisingly powerful motor (yes, even though it’s cordless and portable), you can use the PROMiXX SENSE for everything from silky soups to refreshing cocktails.
In this article, we’ll explore some novel ways to use your PROMiXX SENSE, give you tips on how to do it right, and show you just how easy it is to bring gourmet-level creations into your home - or wherever you take your blender on the go.
Why PROMiXX SENSE is the World’s Best Blender
Before we dive into the recipes and ideas, it’s worth noting what sets the PROMiXX SENSE apart from typical portable blenders:
- Cordless Convenience: No need for an outlet or unwieldy cables. Blend up fresh salsas or cocktails whether you’re at a campsite, an office kitchen, or your own backyard barbecue.
- Powerful Motor: Despite its compact design, the motor in the PROMiXX SENSE packs enough punch to tackle thick sauces and creamy blends without bogging down.
- Intelligent Anti-Jam Settings: Ever been halfway through blending something thick only to have your blender seize up? PROMiXX SENSE’s smart anti-jam technology helps prevent clogs and shutdowns.
- Bi-Directional Blades: The blades change direction to not only blend ingredients into a smooth consistency, but also effectively stir and mix, ensuring every little bit gets incorporated.
1. Fresh, Flavorful Salsas
Why settle for store-bought salsa packed with preservatives when you can make your own in minutes? With PROMiXX SENSE:
- Get Creative with Ingredients: Combine fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and a squeeze of lime juice. Or throw in fruit like mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
- Easy on the Blending: Pulse instead of run continuously if you like your salsa chunky. The bi-directional blades will quickly chop your produce without turning it into soup.
- Perfect for Entertaining: Because it’s cordless, you can bring the SENSE blender right to your patio or picnic table and whip up a fresh batch as you serve.
Pro Tip: Add salt slowly, tasting as you go, to avoid over-salting your salsa. A little salt helps bring out the natural flavors of the veggies and herbs.
2. Creamy Soup Base
Making a soup base is often a time-consuming process involving pots, pans, and a separate blender. PROMiXX SENSE makes things simpler:
- Cook Your Veggies and Broth First: Whether it’s roasted tomatoes and peppers or a classic potato-leek mix, lightly cook your chosen veggies with broth in a pot first.
- Blend in Small Batches: Let the mixture cool, then transfer carefully into your SENSE blender. Because of its anti-jam settings, it can handle thicker textures, but keep an eye on the fill line and blend in batches if needed.
- Enjoy Velvety Smooth Soups: SENSE’s powerful motor and bi-directional blades help transform your cooked ingredients into a silky base. From there, just reheat gently, add seasonings, and garnish!
Pro Tip: For a thicker consistency, add a bit of Greek yogurt or a splash of cream after blending. For a healthier take, skip the cream and rely on pureed vegetables for that satisfying texture.
3. Pesto - From Classic to Creative
Pesto is so much more than basil, garlic, and pine nuts. And PROMiXX SENSE can handle blending nuts, herbs, and oils into a smooth or slightly chunky paste - quickly and easily.
- Classic Basil Pesto: Combine basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. You’ll get a vibrant, aromatic sauce perfect for pasta, sandwiches, or drizzling on pizza.
- Spinach or Arugula Pesto: If you don’t have basil, try spinach or arugula. And why not add walnuts or almonds for a new flavor profile?
- Texture Control: The intelligent anti-jam feature helps keep things moving, while pulsing gives you more control over how coarse or smooth your pesto turns out.
Pro Tip: To help your pesto keep its bright green color, quickly blanch your greens in boiling water and then shock them in ice water before blending.
4. Homemade Mayonnaise and Other Sauces
Homemade mayonnaise might seem intimidating, but with PROMiXX SENSE, you can keep a tight rein on the ingredients while achieving that creamy, emulsified texture:
- Basic Mayo: Start with an egg (or just the yolk), a squeeze of lemon juice, a teaspoon of mustard, and a pinch of salt. Slowly drizzle in a neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed) as you blend.
- Customize the Flavor: Add garlic for aioli, fresh herbs for a herby mayo, or even a hint of hot sauce for a spicy twist.
- Consistency Guaranteed: SENSE’s bi-directional blades ensure your emulsion doesn’t “break,” meaning you’ll wind up with a luscious, spreadable sauce every time.
Pro Tip: Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature to help the emulsion form more easily
5. Cocktails and Mocktails on the Fly
No one wants to lug around a full-sized blender for margaritas or frozen drinks – no matter how good it is. PROMiXX SENSE’s cordless design and robust motor let you be your own bartender, wherever you are:
- Perfect Margaritas: Blend ice with tequila, triple sec, and lime juice for a classic combo. The anti-jam setting helps tackle the ice without stalling.
- Frozen Fruit Daiquiris: Throw in your favorite fresh or frozen fruit with rum, ice, and a sweetener of your choice. SENSE quickly turns it into the perfect slushy consistency.
- Hangover-Free Mocktails: Skip the alcohol and blend fruit, ice, and sparkling water for a refreshing, zero-proof treat.
Pro Tip: Chill your blender cup ahead of time. A cold blender means your drinks stay frosty and refreshing without melting too quickly.
6. Hummus Done Right
Hummus is notorious for requiring a powerful blender or food processor to get that creamy, restaurant-style texture. Luckily, PROMiXX SENSE is up to the challenge:
- Choose Your Chickpeas: Canned chickpeas are easiest. Drain and rinse them, then blend with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil.
- Season It Your Way: Classic hummus is great, but don’t be afraid to add roasted red peppers, spinach, or even roasted beets for a colorful twist.
- Smooth Texture: The combination of a strong motor and blades that reverse allows your ingredients to rotate and blend evenly, helping you avoid lumps.
Pro Tip: If you want your hummus extra smooth, peel your chickpeas by pinching each bean and popping out the skins. Yes, it’s a bit tedious, but the texture payoff is worth it!
7. Vinaigrette & Salad Dressings
Store-bought dressings often contain unnecessary additives or too much sugar. Making your own vinaigrettes and dressings is quick, easy, and healthy with the PROMiXX SENSE:
- Basic Vinaigrette: Combine 3 parts oil (like extra virgin olive oil) with 1 part vinegar (balsamic, red wine, or apple cider), a spoonful of mustard, salt, pepper, and a bit of sweetener if you like. Blend just until emulsified.
- Creamy Dressings: Add Greek yogurt or a dollop of mayo to your vinaigrette base for a thicker texture. For ranch-style dressing, throw in fresh herbs like dill, chives, and parsley.
- Easy to Store: SENSE’s blender cup also makes it easy to store. Once blended, just keep the dressing in a sealed container in the fridge.
Pro Tip: A tiny pinch of xanthan gum (a natural thickener) can help prevent your dressing from separating over time. This is optional but can be especially handy if you like thicker dressings.
8. Baby Food - Fresh and Nutritious
For parents, preparing homemade baby food can feel like one more chore on a never-ending list. But the portability of the PROMiXX SENSE means you can whip up small batches of fresh puree whenever and wherever:
- Steam or Cook First: Make sure your veggies or fruits are properly cooked and softened. (Pears, apples, peas, carrots - all great starting points.)
- Blend to Desired Consistency: Older babies might like a slightly chunkier puree, while younger ones need it super smooth.
- Control the Ingredients: This way, you can ensure no preservatives or unnecessary sugars go into your baby’s meals.
Pro Tip: Freeze portions in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, pop the cubes into a labeled freezer bag. This makes it easy to grab and defrost single servings as needed.
