Chapter 1 Introduction
welcome to nutriblend
Congratulations on purchasing your Cooks Professional Nutri Blend Pro Blender –
the perfect addition to any kitchen, and to your healthy lifestyle!
Although the Nutri Blend is perfect for smoothies it can also be used to save time
in the kitchen when anything needs blending, mixing or pureeing; helping you to
get the most out of life as well as your food!
Check out our delicious recipes and start nutri blending today!
Before you start, have a look at our handy tips & hints for blending:
Soak hard ingredients like nuts, seeds & dried fruits to spare your machine undue
stress and enhance the texture of your dish.
Chop vegetables and grate fibrous food like carrots and ginger to limit street on
the motor.
Layer your ingredients – liquids should always come first followed by powdered
ingredients, soft foods, hard foods and finally ice.
Don’t overload the jug – if blending a large quantity, always do so in batches.
Always start at a low speed and work your way up. This will, again, protect the
motor and stop food from being sprayed up the sides of the jug.
Always process thick blends in short intervals (30 seconds) to avoid overheating.
When blending hot liquids allow them to cool first. Fill the jug halfway, place the
lid on, remove the lid plug and place a dish towel over the opening to allow steam
to escape.
Invest in spatulas – one broad, the other thin and narrow. The broad one is ideal
for shifting food mid-blend (motor off!) and the other for negotiating around the
blades.

GLUTEN-FREE
PANCAKES
(MAKES 4 PANCAKES)
120ml Unsweetened
almond milk
1 tbsp coconut oil in
liquid form
11/2 tbsp pure maple
syrup
1 tsp apple cider
vinegar
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
125g plain, gluten-free
flour
15g tapioca flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp white or black
chia seeds
1/2 mashed banana
Add the milk, oil, syrup, vinegar and
vanilla to the tall tumbler; attach the
cross blade and mix until smooth. In
a bowl, combine the flours, baking
powder, baking soda, salt and seeds in
a large bowl with a fork. Add the dry
ingredients and the banana to the wet
ingredients in the blender and blend
until just combined. Do not overblend
or the mixture will become too thick.
Heat a frying pan to medium-low and
grease with some coconut oil. Cook
for 4 minutes, flip, then cook for 3.
These pancakes take longer to cook
than traditional pancake, but don’t
be tempted to flip them too early or
they’ll go soggy in the middle. Serve
with your favourite toppings.
