Disclosure: I received the blender shown in this article free of charge.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not long ago, I attended IFBC<\/a> in Seattle. As a food photographer, food conferences are a great place to learn about the industry and network with other food bloggers. I don’t necessarily consider myself a “typical” food blogger, since I focus more on photography and don’t do recipe creation. However, since I photograph and enjoy good food, I do have a lot in common with many of the attendees.<\/p>\n

During the conference, we were given a Ninja\u00ae Kitchen demo by Devin Alexander, showing us their new blender \u2014 the Nutri Ninja Auto-IQ<\/a>. This post is not an advertisement for the blender, but I will disclose that I was given the blender for free. I have a few other Ninja products in my kitchen and really<\/em> love them, especially the Ninja Cooking System slow-cooker<\/a>.\u00a0I thought I would do a nice post showing the results of the blender using a delicious recipe I found on Pinterest.<\/p>\n

For the photography, my setup was pretty basic: a backlit setup\u00a0with diffused window-light, and\u00a0I used several pieces of foam board to reflect and also block some of the light coming in. Here’s a behind-the-scenes image of the setup:<\/p>\n
