Easy No Cook Blender Pizza Sauce

Hi there! I hope your weekend is off to a great start. I woke up late and almost missed my Pure Barre class this morning but luckily I was able to fly out the door and make it to class. It always feels so good to start the weekend off with a workout. After class I swung by Whole Foods to pick up a few things, played with Olive and now I’m getting a bit of work done while sitting outside on the front porch. It feels so nice out!

I wanted to pop in to share an easy recipe I whipped up last night. It’s a quick, no cook recipe for pizza sauce that you can make in your blender.

Yup, pizza sauce in the blender! Crazy right?

Not really? I mean think about it. When you make pizza, the pizza sauce cooks while the pizza is baking so there’s really no need to pre-cook the sauce. I was a little skeptical at first but after tasting pizza with this no cook sauce I don’t think I’ll be pre-cooking my sauce ever again. I was amazed as how good it tasted and how easy it was to make.

I used my Vitamix, but I’m sure any blender will work. I bet an immersion blender would even do the trick.

This recipe can be used for any recipe your little heart desires. If it calls for a tomato based pizza sauce, you’re golden!

A couple ideas: use it as sauce for cauliflower crust pizza, socca pizza, tortilla pizza, cauliflower calzones or as a dip for these vegan breadsticks.

I’ll be sharing a recipe next week that uses this sauce as well. So grab your blender and make a batch.
