First blend veggies and nuts with water.  Blend well.

Add meat.  Blend well.

DO NOT USE A SPOON!  It WILL at some point fall into the blender, requiring the purchase of a new blade – $100 minimum!

A handy black plunger thing comes with the blender to help with mixing.  I never use that either. I am able to blend without any “hand tools”  because I blend the easiest items first, with water, and then add the more dense materials.  When I am blending I peek into the top to make sure everything is moving well.  I then use  a spatula to clear any food particles from the top area of the blender, blend again and voile´!
