Have you considered adding some vegan recipes to your family’s menu but weren’t sure where to start? There’s a misconception that eating vegan is limiting, but that’s not true.
In fact, adding vegan recipes gives you tons of new and delicious options for meals, snacks, and even drinks (we’ve got one for adults only, too!).
And it also doesn’t have to be hard or take much time! All you need to get started is a simple kitchen appliance: your blender. Using your blender, you can whip up plenty of nutritious and tasty vegan recipes.
Here are 10 easy, affordable, and delicious vegan blender recipes—from breakfast food to desserts and drinks, and everything in between.
Appetizers and Sides
This is one of the simplest vegan recipes you can make with your single serve blender. Add all ingredients into the blender and pulse until everything is combined. Next, add all-purpose flour or any flour of your choice to soak up all the moisture. Scoop out batter into round, ball shapes and allow 1 hour for chilling. Afterward, you can cook them in a large skillet until they are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. This homemade vegan soup recipe will make you fall in love with vegetable soups. Add all ingredients to your blender and blend well. And if you want a little texture, you can add a handful of tortilla chips. Pulse the blender a few times, and your soup is all done. Bon appetit! This recipe is so easy, all you need is one main ingredient and any spices and seasonings of your choice! And beans are so versatile. You can use them in a simple homemade burrito recipe, add them to a salad, or enjoy them alongside rice and another protein of your choice. Cook the beans until soft. Drain the excess water, and add all the spices that you like. Next, add flavored beans to your blender, and blend to get a thick, dense paste. Since this dish is fat-free, you can add any healthy fat of your choice. Easy Vegan Falafel

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Then, as pasta is cooking, mix the basil leaves, garlic, and pine nuts in a blender and blend at low speed.
While the blender is running, slowly add the olive oil followed by hot water. Then add salt and continue blending until the pesto is smooth and creamy.
When the pasta is ready, drain and toss in the pesto sauce.

Stir almond milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and a splash of vanilla together. Add the mixture to the blender along with chia seeds, and blend until smooth. Alternatively, you can pour the chocolate milk over the chia seeds in a bowl and whisk properly. Make sure the chia seeds are all submerged, then refrigerate the pudding to thicken up. You may choose either to use the blender for this recipe or, for a thicker version, stir and whisk the ingredients instead.3-Ingredient Vegan Ice Cream

Drinks
Smoothies are an easy and delish way to sneak fruits and vegetables into your diet (and get your kids to eat fruits and greens). We have so many favorite smoothie recipes, but this one holds a special place in our hearts. And, full disclosure, we cannot get enough of the name! Add all ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth and thick. Then chill for at least a few minutes in the refrigerator before enjoying. We like to chill this smoothie for an hour before serving for a particularly refreshing treat. This recipe stars two main ingredients, with optional salt, and is so tasty and simple to make. Yum! Soak almonds overnight in cold water. Then drain any excess water. Add almonds, water, salt, and vanilla to blender. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes. Next, pour the milk into a mixing bowl using a nut milk bag. Squeeze and extract all the milk into a pitcher. This yummy nut drink can last you 3-5 days. This one is for the adults. An incredibly refreshing drink that can be enjoyed in the summer and all year, this only takes a few ingredients. Chop up watermelon, and put 2 cups in a blender. Blend into juice, then sieve if you like. Then add some lime and a shot or two of tequila, and shake properly. Line your glass with some lime and sea salt, and a slice of watermelon, and serve. Enjoy!Green Dragon Vegan Smoothie
