An Important Word On Blenders

Once you get on the daily smoothie train, you’ll realise you need to get yourself a kick-ass blender. One that can fully crush any ingredient with ease and not leave your smoothie thick with unblended fruit, nuts or vegetables. To that end, I highly recommend you invest in a high-quality powerful blender such as a Vitamix, Blendtec, Froothie Optimum 9400 (my choice), Magic Bullet, or Nutri-Ninja.
