  • Best Blenders For Making Delicious Smoothies

    Forget about buying the “best blender” on the market. According to Consumer Reports, there’s simply no such thing.

    If you’re looking for blenders for making delicious smoothies, you should instead think in terms of the “best blender for smoothies”.

    So what are the best blenders for getting a smooth, tasty, non-mulch-filled smoothie?

    These blenders are among the best on the market. See which one fits your individual budget.

    Vitamix 5200
    Cost: $450

    Dubbed the “gold standard” in blenders, the Vitamix 5200 is powerful enough to turn grain into flour.

    It’s also an amazing smoothie-making machine. While most standard blenders work best with soft fruits like bananas, the Vitamix is strong enough to grind up leafy veggies for the perfect green smoothie.

    Best of all, you don’t have to worry about a chunk-filled final product; after all the whole point of blenders making smoothies is the smooth final product.

    It may be one of the pricier blenders on the market, but it’s considered by many to be worth it.

    Ninja Professional NJ600
    Cost: $100

    The Ninja Professional NJ600 is a blender that can crush ice and chop nuts. However, smoothie lovers also know it’s one of the best blenders around for a good smoothie.

    Working in the Ninja Professional’s favor are rave reviews from both experts and consumers about its speed and ease of use.

    If you don’t have a lot of time and want your healthy beverage as soon as possible, then consider the Ninja Professional; it’s one the fastest blenders around.

    Hamilton Beach 51101B Single Serve Blender
    Cost: $20

    The Hamilton Beach 51101B Singer Serve Blender is one of the best bargain blenders around.

    It’s a lightweight product which blends the contents of a travel-friendly cup. If you’re a busy individual, this blender allows you to prepare your morning smoothie and then head out the door!

    As a rule, you get what you pay for. Though the Hamilton Beach 51101B isn’t as loud as other blenders, it’s also not as powerful. As a single-serve blender, you can only make so much of an item at a time.

    Some may feel it’s worth their time and money to look into longer-lasting blenders.

    However, if you’re pressed for time and money, the Hamilton Beach blender is for you.

    What OTHER smoothie-making blenders would you recommend and why?

  • Juicers Not Going Away, Actually Grow More Popular

    Juicers and blenders are becoming more and more popular as the weather warms up and the swimsuits lurk menacingly in the back of the drawer, awaiting their time in the sun.

    Those who are looking to take off what’s left of the winter weight, as well as those who are getting into “juicing” for the health benefits will be happy to know that Holly Adams, the woman behind Voigt Manor, LLC, has launched a new website venture called qualityblendersandjuicers.com.

    Her purpose in doing so is clear. She saw the trend growing along with the incredible increase in juicer and blender choices, creating an overwhelming marketplace for consumers looking to get in on the fad.

    The website features high quality Blendtec blenders, Hamilton Beach juicers, steam juicers, juicer blender combos, books about juicing and blending, recipe books and more, all in one place.

    The main focus is on giving to consumer somewhere to go to look at different high quality blenders and juicers and be able to compare them to one another in order to make the best choice.

    This venture highlights just how immersive the juicing trend has become. Beginning with the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, the nation has been taken over with the need to put veggies in a blender to make them more digestible and sometimes more palatable (if you mix them with apples and pineapples and the like).

    However, there have also been those who disagree with the practice of juicing, just like there are with any other new idea, and there has been some controversy with parents getting their kids to partake in “juice cleanses” on a regular basis.

    Whatever the controversy may be, juicing doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Neither does the practice of making healthier shakes and smoothies in a blender. So no matter what your persuasion, it seems Holly Adams and blender makers everywhere have made a smart decision to ride the tails of this thing.
