Using Your Blend Active

Ensure that the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the supply socket if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning. The blades have very sharp edges. Take care when handling or cleaning them. Never attempt to fit the blade assembly onto the motor unit by itself. Do not operate your Blend Active continuously for more than 30 seconds without giving it a rest period of one minute. Your Blend Active is not suitable for processing hot food.

1. Add the ingredients to the bottle. Don’t fill the bottle above the 600ml mark.
2. Fit the blade assembly onto the bottle. Tighten the blade assembly firmly. See figure 1.
3. Turn the bottle upside down so that the blade assembly is at the bottom See figure 2
4. Line up the▼ symbol on the blade assembly with the▲ symbol on the rim of the motorunit. Gently press the bottle downwards then twist it clockwise to lock the bottle in place. See figure 3. Your blender will not work unless the bottle is correctly locked into position.
5. Press and hold the blend button to operate your blender. You can either press and hold the button or use short pulses until your drink is at the desired consistency.
6. When you have finished blending your drink, and the blades have stopped rotating, twist the bottle anticlockwise to remove the bottle and blade assembly. Turn the bottle the right side up then unscrew the blade assembly and fit one of the resealable lids onto the bottle. Close the cap of the resealable lid firmly until it ‘clicks’. See figure 4

Notes: If the ingredients become stuck around the blade during processing, simply remove the bottle from the motor unit, give it a shake then refit it and carry on processing. Always remove the bottle when attempting to agitate or otherwise redistribute the ingredients. For ease of cleaning, we recommend that you clean your blend active bottle and cap as soon as you have finished using them.

Crushing ice

• Your blender can be used to crush ice. For best results and to prevent possible damage to the blades, always add a small amount of liquid to the ice before processing.
• The liquid can be water or one of the liquid ingredients from your recipe (fruit juice, etc.).

Recipes

Notes

• All recipes make 1 serving. Remember to halve the ingredients if you are using the 300ml bottle.
• Smoothies and shakes often separate if not consumed immediately after blending. However, they can be re-blended and consumed within 30 minutes if necessary.

Ingredients

• Peanut butter—a great protein shake ingredient. Try and source an unsweetened variety.
• Frozen berries—now widely available in larger supermarkets. Look out for special packs of frozen smoothie mixes too.
• Protein powder—a concentrated form of protein. Used as a dietary supplement, protein powder can be added to drinks, sprinkled on cereal, stirred into soups and stews, or cooked into baked goods and other meals. Available from most large supermarkets or health shops.
• Almond Milk—a healthy alternative to cow’s milk.
• Soya Milk—can be used as a skimmed milk replacement in all of our recipes.
