Morphology
blend + of
The noun 'blend' already means a combined product and the preposition 'of' signals the components included, so the phrase 'blend of' transparently denotes a mixture composed of specified elements. This composition follows a common and cross-linguistic noun + prepositional pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words can readily interpret.
Etymology
The noun blend of comes from the simple idea of mixing: the word blend means to mix different things, like a cook stirring spices or a painter mixing colors. That's why a blend of things means 'a mixture of' different parts.
