    Vitamix. Most used thing in my kitchen...even more than my prized coffee maker. Costco has the best price!

    Magic Bullet baby!! Makes the smoothy right in your own cup! It's great for portion control.


    :heart: I used a Magic Bullet and LOVED it making pureed food for an elderly client. I had No Idea it would crush Ice!!

    If you cannot afford to spend alot of money and want to make sure you don't go overboard when making them, try the GE single serve blender. I have used it for over a year now almost every day and it works great! Came with extra cups and lids and it only cost about twenty dollars. Hope that helps.

    NUTRIBULLET - simple - it is the best - easy to clean and it breaks everything down so no pulp to throw out - comes with a pocket nutritionist booklet as well as a recipe book - sells for $99 in Kohl's & Target and if you have a coupon you get it down to $64 and worth every penny - do not purchase from the website as it is more money !

    I have a Sunbeam single serve that mixes right in the cup you drink out of. Mix my shake mix with ice and it comes out just like a shake from Braums :) No ice chunks in the bottom and easy clean up.

    I to hated cleaning the blender until I got a kitchen aid blender and the directions said to clean you just add water and soap and then blend it. Rinse it out and voila effortlessly clean. Love my kitchen aid, I was able to find a great sale on it and a stand mixer.
    I have a Kitchen Aid blender, also and I love it!!

    If you don't wanna spend the $$ for a Vitamix, go with the Ninja 1000! I LOVE mine. I broke my regular blender with this one banana bread recipe... I tried the same recipe in the Ninja (hoping I wouldn't break my new $100 blender... lol), but it smashed through it like it was nothing!! They have a kid that comes with a food processor AND the blender, too. I wish I had invested in that set. But even just the blender is amazing!

    I have the whole set! It was a Christmas gift.

    I love all of my Ninja products. <3

    I first bought the NutriBlast and it worked OK for about 4 months, I had to keep replacing the blade and each blade leaked brown fluid. They never sent me the blades they said they would, I ended up spending close to 25 dollars ever other month for new blades to be sent, In the end I could have just bought the vitamix.

    Costco has the vitamix for best price. But QVC offers payments.

    Finally bought the vitamix from Costco, we bought the cheapest one.

    Iv seen them offered on Craigs list as well.

    Vitamix is THE BEST. Turns everything into a juice, no chunks, unless you want them.

    I blend hard items : raw beets, ginger root, apples, kale...so I needed something more powerful.

    My daughter makes frozen yogurt in it, takes her just a few minutes. Tastes yummy

    Iv made the tortilla soup recipe that it comes with...SO GOOD

    Worth the price.... wish I had bought it in the first place before trying all the cheaper versions....

    I have a Kitchen Aide and it's awesome. I have never tried the others mentioned in above comments, except the cheaper $20 walmart models (which those didn't get the smoothies "smooth" at the time I bought mine about 10 years ago). Love my blender. I think it every time I make a daquiri or smoothie.

    My sunbeam blender is amazing; i love that it has function buttons like smoothie, cocktail, and puree... When shopping just ask for one that makes cocktails - if it can blend ice it will blend spinach and all those other chunky nuisances! ;)
