Do you own a blender? No? Well after reading this blog post, you might consider purchasing one.
Defy is launching a 1000w stainless steel blender which allows you to blend frozen fruit and crush ice in seconds, which means quick on-the-go smoothies.
To celebrate this launch, I thought I would share some delicious easy recipes that I think is a must try plus I have an awesome competition for you at the end, so you can win your own DEFY blender!
Many people assume that the only delicious drink you can make using a blender is a smoothie.
Wrong!

Why use a blender?

Copper scrap recycling value Copper has been used by humans for thousands of years, dating back to the Neolithic period when it was first discovered. It is one of the oldest known metals, and its uses and significance have evolved throughout history. In ancient civilizations, copper was highly valued for its durability, malleability, and ability to conduct heat and electricity. Its rich reddish-brown color was also highly prized for decorative purposes. During the Bronze Age, copper was alloyed with tin to create bronze. This discovery revolutionized technology and warfare by providing stronger and more durable tools and weapons. The ancient Egyptians used copper to create tools and jewelry, and the Greeks and Romans used it for coinage, as well as pipes and other construction materials. During the Middle Ages, copper continued to be an important material for constructing buildings and creating decorative objects. The cathedrals and castles of Europe were often adorned with copper roofs, spires, and sculptures. Copper was also used for household goods such as pots and pans, kettles, and drinking vessels. Copper was also used for medical purposes during this time, as it was believed to have healing properties. This belief was based on the observation that copper does not corrode, tarnish, or rust easily, and therefore, was seen as a symbol of immortality and purity. Today, copper is still widely used in various industries, including electronics, construction, and transportation. It is also used for artistic and decorative purposes, such as sculptures and jewelry. Its antimicrobial properties have also been recognized, leading to its incorporation into various medical devices and even clothing. Overall, copper has played a significant role in human history and continues to be an important and versatile metal in modern times Metal reclaiming and repurposing facility Copper scrap pollution prevention Copper profile recycling Copper scrap value Scrap copper repurposing Metal scrap repurposing services

Scrap copper buyer Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with a reddish-orange color. Copper is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, and it is used extensively in electrical wiring, as well as in the construction of pipes, fittings, and other products that require high electrical conductivity. Copper is found naturally in the Earth’s crust, and it is one of the few metals that can be found in its native form. It is also commonly found in minerals such as chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite. Copper is often mined from large, open-pit mines, but it can also be extracted from underground mines or recovered from recycled materials. One of the most important uses of copper is in electrical wiring. Copper wires are used in everything from electrical grids and power plants to electronic devices such as computers and smartphones. Copper’s high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion make it an ideal material for this purpose. Copper is also used extensively in the construction industry. It is used to make pipes, fittings, and other products for plumbing and heating systems. Copper’s resistance to corrosion and its ability to withstand high temperatures make it ideal for these applications. In addition, copper is used in a variety of other applications, including in coins and jewelry, as a catalyst in chemical reactions, and as a pigment in paints and dyes. Copper is also an essential nutrient for plants and animals, and it is often used as a dietary supplement. Despite its many uses, copper can be toxic in high doses. Exposure to high levels of copper can cause gastrointestinal problems, liver damage, and other health problems. However, for most people, exposure to copper is safe and even beneficial. Copper has been used by humans for thousands of years, and it remains one of the most important and versatile metals today. As our society continues to rely more heavily on electrical and electronic technology, the need for copper will only continue to grow Scrap metal recovery center Copper scrap trading network Copper scrap price analysis Copper scrap storage practices Copper scrap circular economy Metal trade compliance
