The Cuisinart Mini Prep Will Have You Loving To Eat Your Veggies!

By Jesse Rhymes

With the rise in availability of green foods and increased statistics of obesity many of us are turning to healthier options for their meals. But making an attempt to be more healthy can be daunting if it suggests more time cooking meals, higher grocery bills and sad diners.

Choosing more healthy food doesn't mean you have got to work more and spend more . With a food processor, like the Cuisinart Mini-Prep, you can instantly add more healthy ingredients to your meals.

Do Food Processors truly Work? Yes. And, they aren't the great monster appliances they were 40 years gone. I am living in a tiny house where appliances only stay if they're functional, useful and tiny. The Mini-Prep is great because it is only 8 inches tall by 4 inches wide. That's smaller in comparison to my toaster. And, it's a better machine than lots of my appliances because it's fast, it's straightforward to clean and it speeds up my preparation time.

Can't I just employ a Blender? Technically, yes. But, you wouldn't be able to process the foods as quickly and it might possibly be much tougher to clean. With the Mini Prep you can even grind coffee and clean it without any residue remaining. My blender couldn't do that.

How do you use a mixer To Make Healthier Meals? There are a wide variety of cookery books available with recipes that call for adding purees. This is one of the simplest methods to start. By adding a squash puree to your spaghetti sauce ( yes, even the canned ones ), you raise your vegetables by at least a serving without tasting it. By inflating your veg, you are also skyrocketing your fiber. Purees can be added to a number of foods as a method to increase your daily plant intake without basically having to eat piles of veg.

Beyond adding purees, with the Mini-Prep you can make your own salsas, dips, icings and other foods with fresh natural ingredients. This allows you to bypass the additives and additional sugars added to many fast foods to extend their shelf lives. The Cuisinart Mini-Prep is also superb for slicing onions, grating cheese or helping you quickly get your ingredients prepared for your recipes. And, with the straightforward clean up, you won't spend hours cleaning tiny parts. If you have little kids just starting to eat solid foods, the Mini-Prep is a wonderful tool for making your own baby food. And, if you make an additional crop of pureed crush or carrots, you are able to add it to your own meal.

The Mini-Prep is sufficiently little to fit in your kitchen and hard working enough that you will need to use it all the time. It is created so you can put it in the dishwasher at night and pull it out in the morning to make your own special scrambled eggs with fresh home-made salsa. Eating healthy wasn't so much fun!
