Colourful Angel Hair - Vegan Veggies with Rice Noodles

It's been a busy few weeks since returning from Orlando, work, children, kitchen renovation, school nativities, life! You know how it goes , not that i'm complaining of course. Our life may be crazy busy at times, the days just seem to fly away, but our days re always filled with alot of laughter, love, fun and good food!

One of my "go-to" quick go-to meals that we can all eat together - let me tell you, this doesn't happen very often! Not because we're fussy, just due to food allergies etc ) is what we call " Colourful Angel Hair"

It's super easy to make! It's 10 different veggies, we use

Tomatoes
Cabbage
Spinach
Carrots
Onions
Aubergines
Courgettes / Zucchini
Peppers
Kale
Mushrooms

Simply slice them as finely as you can, throw in a pan with coconut oil, and then add Angel Hair Noodles/ Rice noodles! If they're dry you need to soak them first, but we often buy the fresh ones!

Seth will happily eat this, but opeie stuggled to chew the veggies, especially the cabbage, mushrooms and kale, so we make his into a sauce with alittle passata, I simply pop them in the Omniblend for 10-20 seconds , and then add the noodles separately! He absolutely loves it too!  I won't lie, he gets messy, but it's part of the fun! Cheeks covered in sauce are the cutest!

In your high speed blender, add
1.5 cups butternut squash
1/2 an onion
1 whole cored apple
1/2 cup of nutritional yeast
pinch of salt
herbs that you like best, i used oregano

Blender talk : Reliable blenders for healthy, vegans food preparation

I've been looking for new juice / smoothie  inspiration and this week I found it at Wholefoods market.

 We popped down to Cheltenham to visit a friend, who was saying how much he loves the GreenStar juicer we have, and how much he loves his Vitamix blender - and that Vitamix were demonstrating at WFM that day. Perfect timing - the Vitamix model  they were demonstrating was amazing , the smoothie I had was delicious, smooth and unusual tasting - beyond words !If I had an extra £500+ in my account OH MY I would not stop myself, I would have bought one then and there! With the 10 year guarantee though it seems you get your monies worth considering we've gone through 4 blenders in 5 months ( we've not had a blender for 2 months now & shaking my sunwarrior smoothies isn't nice- trust me !)

I love blenders as you can create so many things with them other than just smoothies that they're famed for . I'd like to try making raw soups , Houmous , dips , dressings, ice cream, my own flours, raw recipes and other things that require a good blender , like the Vitamix . 

I had a passion fruit, mango , apple banana & kiwi , will be recreating this one day  soon , as soon As I have a new blender ... Any recommendations for me please ? So far we've had a Kitchenaid Artisan which melted , 2 Phillips , and my parents Tesco one . So, Any ideas ? I think the Vitamix wins hands down!  ( They used them to make my smoothie at Wholefoods, and it was divine, as I said! )

I've been looking around lots, there are so many to choose from!  What are your favourite high speed blenders? I'd love to hear!
