Do you enjoy fruit blends?
Stick blenders are ideal for blending hot liquids like soups because you can cook and blend all of the ingredients in the same pot. Plus there’s no need to transfer hot, boiling liquids back and forth as you would have to do with a standard jug blender.
A
stick blender is fairly convenient. They are very small and take up very little space, and can be easily stored in a draw, or cupboard, or mounted on the wall. It's the handy but terrible gadget that come with a variety of attachments which make them suitable for many tasks in the kitchen.
As with any kitchen appliance, a stick blender should be properly cared for and you should pay attention to safety. Always use the shield on the machine and make sure that you start out blending at a slow speed to prevent splattering. Also, care should be taken when trying to blend ice or other hard substances like nuts. Why not use a standard jug blender for this task?

Use it to make quick smoothies |
Using soft fruits, such as banana and defrosted berries, or canned peaches or pears would be great. Simply put what you want in a glass and use the stick blender to mix it up!

To make creamy and foamy coffee! |
Just put the stick blender in your latte and watch the foam rise. My husband enjoys using his stick blender to make foamy coffee for midnight.
