In the U.K., there are 55,920 new cases of breast cancer each year, and 11,499 people die. Globally, the disease caused 685,000 deaths in 2020 - according to Cancer Research UK and World Health Organization. People who suffer from breast cancer may have a lack of energy, focus, and motivation. Doing basic tasks such as cleaning, showering, and cooking meals - even if they love it - may feel overwhelming. Worse comes to worse, Cancer Research UK mentioned that 40% of people diagnosed with breast cancer experience unplanned weight loss due to lack of a balanced diet. Having a slower recovery and having a harder time fighting off the disease could be something expected to come.

Some of you might not have the habit of having a daily breakfast. If this is the case, then these pancake recipes are tasty, quick, and hassle-free through the use of KitchenAid blenders.
Who doesn’t love pancakes? This spin-off pancake made with buckwheat flour will keep you filled until lunch time. You can easily mix in your favourite toppings - be it savoury or sweet. Use the blender to smoothen the pancake batter until it’s ready to be cooked.
For those who favour sweet pancakes, a combination of oat and banana will always perk up your appetite in the morning. It’s tasty, keeps you full till lunch - and also easy to make for you and family. Use whatever nuts you have available at home as toppings to enrich its nutrition.
A common side effect of Breast Cancer is experiencing a poor appetite. However, making yourself eat something, even a small portion, is extremely important.
03. Cream of mushroom and garlic soup
Only needing 15 minutes to make, this soup recipe is more than just a hearty one. The tasty combination of rich herbs, fragrant vegetable stock, and earthy mushrooms makes this meal unforgettable.. Use the blender to mix everything until the desired consistency is reached.
04. Homemade lasagne with fresh pasta
Making lasagne can seem overwhelming until you try it. However, preparing lunch together with friends and family is also a fun activity. Using a stand mixer and pasta roller attachments, making a homemade lasagne has never been this easy. You can always put in extra ingredients, such as spinach or mushrooms, as you please. Have extra leftovers? Save it for tomorrow’s lunch.
Fancy a good dinner without skimping out on flavour? This doesn’t mean having to put in any extra effort.. Instead, with a stand mixer or food processor, here are four dishes that you can make for dinner.
05. Ratatouille with sausage and tomato cream sauce
This mix of French vegetables with an Italian twist can be a hearty dinner meal. Having most veggies sliced with our food processor will allow you to prepare the dish with ease. Not only is it full of fibre, but the strong tomato flavour recalls the taste of summer. While the ratatouille cooks in the oven, you can prepare other dishes or simply relax.
Craving something simpler? This dish originates from Spain and can be cooked in under 25 minutes. Using a food processor attachment for our stand mixer, shredding the potato can be done in a matter of minutes.
Can you believe that this dessert can be made in under 5 minutes? Just mix all of the ingredients in a stand mixer, put the mixture in the microwave - and voila! Your chocolate mug cake can be enjoyed within a matter of moments, and it tastes as good as it looks. You can top it with berries or nuts if you like.
An easy to prepare sweet treat that can be saved for another two days sounds like a good option. A chocolate marble cake with a hint of vanilla takes under 60 minutes to finish - and you can prepare this whenever you have time. Enjoy it as an after-dinner dessert or as your breakfast.
