Blender Guide

Most blenders these days can make smoothies but if you have one from 20 years ago, chances are you will need to upgrade. The best blender should have a high power motor of a very minimum of 500 watts. The higher the power, the easier it will be for you to crush frozen fruits and ice and the better and creamier the results will be. Think of this as an investment in a lifetime of health. Here are my top picks. To find them, just do a quick search for the name on Amazon.

What I Use

VITAMIX 5200

This is a workhorse of a blender and puts the “smooth” in smoothie. I have owned this for years and I have never had any issues with it. You won’t have any trouble blending anything with this blender. You can make smoothies for your entire lifetime so you want a blender that will last with you. PRICE: $412

BLENDTEC TOTAL BLENDER

Blendtec is up there with Vitamix. Blenders like this are an investment in your health and should be seen as a one-time expense that will last you for years and years. Having to replace a cheaper blender several times will quickly add up to this cost so why not get it right the fist time. PRICE: $400

NUTRIBULLET

Nutribullet has two models. The base model is great but I recommend the RX which has a stronger motor and will blend better. Just make sure you get the large container with either version.
