no split hollandaise thermomix

I still remember the morning when I spent 30 minutes over the stove carefully whisking Hollandaise sauce by hand to surprise Michael, only to find out that he doesn’t like hollandaise sauce at all! Cooking hollandaise in your Thermal Cooker or Thermomix is much easier and although there may be lots of set and forget recipes out there, if you have ever had a ‘failed’ split result, this is the recipe for you!

Granola is such a popular breakfast option, and I am regularly asked where the Skinnymixers version is. What I love about this Thermomix recipe is the ability to use whatever combination of fruits, nuts and seeds that you prefer—as well as the option to break up the granola or to leave it in clusters.

The idea for this Protein Booster came about when I was looking into natural protein powder options to add more nutrition to my breakfast smoothies. Not only was it nearly impossible to find one with only pure ingredients, but it was also difficult to find one which targeted women’s health. Working closely with a professionally qualified Nutritionist, I was able to develop this nutritionally well-rounded boost of vitamins, minerals and high quality fats—that more importantly—tastes delicious!

The Ultimate List of 15 Minute Thermomix Dinners

Everyone needs a list of go-to 15 minute Thermomix dinner recipes, especially for those nights that you need a healthy dinner on the table ASAP. This is my ultimate list of 15 minute Skinnymixers recipes – hopefully it helps for the nights that you need dinner on the table in a hurry!

Hi! It’s Sian here….

This ultimate list of 15 minute dinner recipes are faster than getting takeaway and I’ve added some extra tips to help get dinner on the table faster. You will notice quite a few of these recipes are from The Healthy Mix Cookbook Collection. The Healthy Mix Cookbooks are perfect for every day healthy family-friendly recipes.


Quick Meals

THMIII: Honey Mustard Chicken

Healthy Thermomix Recipes

Skinnymixer’s Honey Mustard Chicken

When you are racing around like a headless chicken trying to get dinner on the table quickly, the Honey Mustard Chicken from The Healthy Mix III is definitely a must make. It has a total of 2 steps in the recipe & the first one starts with ‘Add all ingredients’ !!

This recipe is or has variations to make it dairy free, gluten free, nut free, egg free, low carb, super skinny, paleo, freezer friendly & low fodmap.

I like to add a handful of fresh beans in Step 2 and serve with rice or cauliflower rice. You can add 400g cauliflower into your mixer bowl before starting the recipe and chop 3 sec/speed 5/Mc on. Transfer to a frypan to quickly cook with a little olive oil & salt, while your Honey Mustard Chicken cooks in your Thermomix.

THMII: Speedy Beef Stir Fry

Skinnymixers Stir Fry

Skinnymixer’s Speedy Beef Stir Fry

The Speedy Beef Stir Fry from The Healthy Mix II has such big flavours, for such a short cooking time. Use whatever stir fry vege that you have on hand or even throw in some frozen stir fry vege.

This recipe is or has variations to make it dairy free, gluten free, nut free, egg free, low carb, super skinny, paleo, soy free & vegetarian.

The trick to having tender meat is slicing a good quality steak, really thinly. I’ve also used the beef stir fry strips on special from the supermarket, which aren’t as tender but get the job done. You can also use prawns, pork or chicken thigh strips in this recipe. If you want to use chicken breast, you will need to use your butterfly or the breast will shred. You can serve this with zoodles, noodle, rice, cauliflower rice or extra vege. I often use more vege (less meat) and add in cashews to bulk up the stir fry.

THMIII: Creamy Garlic Prawns

Skinnymixer’s Creamy Garlic Prawns

The Creamy Garlic Prawns in The Healthy Mix III have a delicious All-in-One Dinner variation that not many people notice. It includes cooking cauliflower rice, as you cook the sauce for the prawns. Alternatively you can serve these prawns on top of steak, zoodles, pasta, mash… anything really.

This recipe is or has variations to make it dairy free, gluten free, nut free, egg free, low carb, super skinny, paleo, soy free & low fodmap.

Not a lover of prawns? Quite a few skinnies have replaced the prawns with chicken. Just check if the chicken is cooked at the end of the cook and keep cooking if required.

Make sure you check out the Gambas al Ajillo (Spanish Garlic Prawns) from A Little Taste of Spain if you don’t love creamy prawns or just for something different.

Sauces to Make-a-Meal

THMII: Creamy Pesto Sauce

Thermomix Creamy Pesto Sauce

Skinnymixer’s Creamy Pesto Sauce

What’s better than a 15 minute recipe? A 10 minute recipe. The Creamy Pesto Sauce from The Healthy Mix II is not only super fast to make, but it is incredibly flexible to adapt to your own tastes and what ingredients you have on hand. Sometimes I use broccoli instead of kale, and quickly pan fry some chicken, bacon and zoodles to go with the Creamy Pesto Sauce. Mix with pasta, zoodles or even serve over grilled meat & vegetables.

When basil is in season, we recommend making the basil pesto part of the recipe (Step 1-3) and freezing in portions ready to mix with cream.

This recipe is or has variations to be dairy free, gluten free, nut free, egg free, low carb, paleo, freezer friendly, vegetarian.

skinnymixer’s Basil Oil

Skinnymixer’s Basil Oil

Sometimes adding a little flavour to some grilled meat and vegetables can help make a simple meal, a little more exciting. If you know that you are going to be busy, you can easily make some Aioli, Chipotle Mayo or Basil Oil ahead of time.

Grill some fish, chicken or steak and serve with grilled cherry tomatoes, green beans, asparagus or baby spinach.

You can also add some flavour to grilled meat and vegetables by using the Spice Mixes in The Healthy Mix.


Burgers, Patties, Fritters & Sausages

Complete the meal with a salad, vegetables or make your own burgers and wraps.

skinnymixer’s American Style Burger Patties

Skinnymixer’s Big N Sauce with American Style Burger Patty.

Have some mince but lacking effort required to cook something? The American Style Burger Patties are seriously simple but tasty. All you need is salt and onion powder. Make some epic homemade burgers or bunless burgers with what you have in the fridge.

I like to have Low Carb Burger Buns in my freezer stash to be able to make some Low Carb Burgers whenever I start to consider takeaway. Team up these patties with the skinnymixer’s Big N Special Burger Sauce for your own Big Mac inspired burger.

These are also tasty with the Beetroot Relish on the website.

THM: Chicken Teriyaki Burger Patties

Thermomix Chicken Teriyaki Burger

Skinnymixer’s Chicken Teriyaki Burger Patties

These tasty little Chicken Teriyaki Burger Patties from The Healthy Mix are ready in record time.

Serve with a simple green salad, in wraps or in a burger. These patties are popular with the kids and even have some hidden vege in the mix. You can make them ahead of time and make a great addition to your next BBQ.

This recipe is or has variations to be dairy free, gluten free, nut free, egg free, low carb, paleo, freezer friendly and super skinny.

Tip: They are a wet mix and you do need to be careful to not over cook the chicken if using chicken breast.

THMIII: Skinless Sausages

Skinnymixer’s Skinless Sausages

Love the convenience of throwing some sausages on the BBQ for dinner but don’t love not know what is in them? The Skinless Sausages from The Healthy Mix III offer flexibility for dietary needs and taste damn good.

If you don’t like pork and beef, you can easily substitute other meats to make your own sausages.

Serve them with a salad, vegetables, as burger patties or even with some eggs to have breakfast for dinner!

This recipe is or has variations to be dairy free, gluten free, nut free, egg free, low carb, paleo, freezer friendly, super skinny and low fodmap.

Who doesn’t LOVE buffalo wings? I know that they’re a staple in Sian’s diet, and because we want her part of the Skinnymixers team forever, I knew it was my duty to create a healthier version for her to enjoy. I learnt the trick of crisping up the chicken without frying from my friend, Sasha, who learnt it from a YouTube video – I used this recipe as as guide for the timing on these. I hope you love them as much as Sarah, Kirsty, Michael, Todd our pool guy and myself did today! Love Nik xx

Caprese salad is a quintessential Italian dish, featuring the vibrant red, green and white of the Italian flag and usually served very simple. I believe I have taken the traditional Caprese salad to the next level by making it a complete meal. This will absolutely impress guests and the best part – all of the elements can be prepared ahead of time in the Thermomix. A big thank you to Cafe Delights for the beautiful photography inspiration. Love Nik xx
