Modern Kitchen Basics; Monday, First Period [01/27].
If one were to recognize the variety of different devices set before everyone in the classroom today, then they would know pretty immediately what today's lesson was. But should the contraptions still look unfamiliar or perhaps even vaguely threatening, fear not, for Ignis was not going to be wasting any time in getting to explaining, because the sooner he covered the basics, the sooner they could get to experimenting with, hopefully, some new and exciting recipehs.
"Blenders and food processors," he said, "are convenient devices to have in any kitchen, especially for the purposes of....well, blending and processing food. The former is more intended for creating a smoother, more liquid product, while the latter allows for a greater range of textures and consistency. Ultimately, however, you are pureeing, emulsifying, chopping, crushing," his hand waved in the air a little, "et cetera, et cetera. They can be used for creating all sorts of things, from smoothies and causes, to nut butter or finely chopped ingredients, even soups or for kneading dough.
"We will, of course," he continued, "take some time to go over how to use both of these devices, and, once we've got that out of the way, we'll have plenty of time to practice using them and trying some things. If creativity is not your strong suit today, I do have some simple recipehs for you to try, but I do encourage you to try and see what you might be able to come up with through a bit of trial and error."
There was a pause.
"All I ask is that only edible things go into them."
Another pause lingered a little longer with a Very Serious Face, so that they all knew how much he meant that. This was Modern Kitchen Basics, after all, not an episode of Will It Blend?.
Then, he nodded. "But first...we must know how to use the thing if we are to use the thing..."

Ahem. Anyway, now that the instruction is over, it's time for you to give it a try and see what you can create with your blenders and food processors. Ask questions, of course, along the way, and please keep all fingers and hands and other body parts away from the blades as well. Yes, they are technically edible, but really, now....

She started off with, ugh, kale. The bane of her existence. However she started adding other ingredients which included a frozen banana, frozen pineapple and some almond milk and almond butter for some protein.
In the end you could still taste the kale but it was at least a 'fruity' kale.
