My Favorite Kitchen Tool: The Hand Blender!

Happy Saturday Everyone!
For those of you that are football fans, are you getting excited for the Superbowl tomorrow?
I sure am!!

I just wanted to share with all of you something that truly made a difference in my life, in a GREAT way! It made my mornings so much easier and also my cooking sometimes!

For Christmas, my husband bought me a hand blender, see picture below! It was one of the few things I had asked for and I was so excited to get one! I had heard such great things about them and I just wanted to pass on the excitement!


He bought me the Cuisinart red hand blender, shown above! He got it off of Amazon.com very inexpensively! I have not heard any bad reviews on any types, this just happens to be the one that he bought!
Every morning, I make myself a Shakeology shake for breakfast and usually I used a full blender and would have to wash it every day. 
These are the ingredients that I just happened to be using this morning, plus ice of course! Washing the blender every morning got to be very time consuming and something quite discouraging! It actually made me not want to have my healthy breakfast out of pure laziness. However, this new hand blender has made everything so much easier!
My hand blender even came with a beaker cup that I use for mixing and blending! I just put all of my ingredients in, liquid first then the powder then peanut butter and then ice! That is a pretty good order if you are making a shake or something of the sort as it blends together better!
After that, you put the blender into the beaker and start slowing pushing down while using the low setting! Once you hit the bottom, switch to the high speed to break everything up. I usually blend for about 30 seconds on high and it blends completely.
This is a picture of the finished product, completely blended perfectly! The clean up is so much easier, you can wash the beaker like normal cup and the hand blender can be rinsed and wiped off with warm water! 

And just as an added bonus, I put it back in its box and it traveled with me to my in laws this weekend and worked perfectly and made everything so much simpler and I could still have my shakes!

Comment below if you need anything finding one or have any questions!

Have a great Superbowl Sunday everyone!
