Yes, both white blood cells and red blood cells do. RBCs have no nucleus but still must sustain an active metabolism to maintain the flexibility and integrity of the red cell membrane as well as to preserve hemoglobin in its functional form to ensure adequate oxygen delivery. WBCs are a part of the human immune system and they create a number of enzymes that help fight disease. Sometimes, these enzymes damage tissues in inflammatory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer and heart disease.

How do the blood cells carry food?

Where does the red blood cell carry the oxygen to?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to all the cells of the body.
What are blood enzymes?
Do you mean a blood enzymes test, or more generally, enzymes in the blood? Enzymes are proteins that carry out chemical reactions (as opposed to structural enzymes). Most of the detectable enzymes in the blood come from the various tissues and organs of the body. Abnormal levels may reflect problems with a particular organ. The most common blood enzymes test is for liver enzymes. When the cells of the liver are damaged, such as from a viral infection, their enzymes can leak out and be detected in the blood. Another common test measures enzymes from heart damage, such as from a heart attack.
How does anucleate red blood cell make its proteins and enzymes?
Anucleate red blood cells make their proteins and enzymes while they are still developing in the bone marrow, where they have a nucleus to carry out protein synthesis. Once they mature and lose their nucleus, they rely on the proteins and enzymes already present in their cytoplasm to carry out their functions.

blood cells do not carry food, blood cells carry oxygen.

The scientific name for the blood cells that carry oxygen to the body's cells is erythrocytes.
What do peoxisomes do?
If you mean peroxisomes, in animal cells they carry the enzymes needed for biosynthetic pathways, metabolic pathways, and detoxification. In some plant cells they are called glyoxysomes and carry enzymes for glyoxylate cycle.
What two things does your blood carry to all cells in your body?
