The Mealthy Handblend is a 100% BPA-free stainless steel immersion blender that lets you easily puree, chop, whisk, blend, and much more. It even comes with blender, whisk, and chopper attachments.
The Mealthy Handblend makes it easy to blend soups right in the pot, whip up a quick smoothie in the morning, and to make all of my favorite condiments in seconds.
My keto mayo used to take forever to make in my food processor - but with my Mealthy Handblend, I have mayo in minutes! You can't beat that!

Homemade Pesto Recipe

Attach the Blade Attachment to the main housing unit of the Mealthy Handblend.
Add in pine nuts once they have cooled and blend - moving your blender up and down in the blender cup to fully blend all ingredients.

It takes just a few minutes you will have the perfect creamy homemade pesto that is keto friendly and ready to be used on all of your favorite pesto recipes - like my Keto Pesto Chicken!
You can even make homemade whipped cream in seconds with the whisk attachment!
