The extra-large design of this product is great for blending smoothies for your family and friends.
Not only do the 16-oz included cups make great single-use containers for bringing your smoothies with you on the go, but you can also use them on the device itself to keep from getting the main blender cup dirty (or if you don’t want to make a drink that large).
The BPA-Free WildSide+ Jar has a 90-ounce volume capacity so you can make 4 refreshing drinks at one time. And, on top of everything, this appliance can also heat ingredients while blending them making this the best choice if you live in cold climates where things tend to be chilly!
Next up, we have the all-embracing Blendtec Blender for Smoothies. With its high-quality blades, this machine can easily blend all of your favorite vegetables into perfect healthy drinks. It features a touch screen control system that not only enhances the overall look of the device but also makes things a lot easier for you.
With 12 different functions, you’ll be able to mix your smoothie to the consistency that you desire.
This product is better for smaller uses, as the glass jar has a three-cup maximum for your liquids, ice, and fruits. However, because it is easy to clean and dishwasher safe, you’ll be able to wash it out quickly before you need to use it next.
If you don’t know what speed or intensity your food should be mixed on, don’t worry. This item has got that taken care of for you with its smart-setting functions.
If you like the brand and are satisfied with this blender, you can go back and purchase a matching food processor, toaster, and/or waffle maker, which are all also made by Oster.
You won’t be able to blend large amounts of liquid, but you’ll get your smoothie mixed in your 24oz to-go cup and ready to bring it along with you in no time.
This is great for the busy professional who wants to make a quick and easy breakfast to take out the door with them. It may not work as well for the busy mom who wants to whip up smoothies for her four active children.
This 18oz cup and the small, lightweight item will allow you to stick to your diet while on the road.
This option is weaker and lacks some of the features that other blenders on this list include. It makes up for those deficiencies with its small size and convenience of use.
At five cups, the jar is large enough to serve several people, while still being small enough to easily fit on the countertop under your kitchen cabinets, or stored away when you’re not using it.
As you shop for your next blender, you probably have a few questions you want answered before you make a purchase. You might be wondering if your blender will be dishwasher safe. It’s important to check on this before you buy. Most blender parts can be placed on the top rack in your dishwasher, but some will need to be washed by hand. You’ll also want to see how easily the blender parts come off when it’s time to wash them. Usually, you’ll separate the blade from the jar when you wash both pieces.
You’ll also want to think about how much space you need for blending. Some models only come with jars that hold 18oz or 24oz of food and liquid. This is great for personal use, but not so much for larger crowds. Other blenders can hold as many as six or seven cups of liquid, but they will use more power and take up more space. Neither of these options is necessarily best. It all depends on you and how you plan to use your blender.
Finally, you’ll want to do research on the different features your blender will have. Some smoothie blenders only have a few speeds or pulse options, while others can have as many as 10-12 settings. Some blenders even come equipped with special settings for blending milkshakes, smoothies, salsa, or other food products. This is nice because it takes the guesswork out of your smoothie-making – you just have to select the setting that’s most appropriate for what you’re making. However, you may prefer to have more control over the consistency of your finished product, and many of the choices on this list allow you to be more specific with the pulse and speed of your blend.
A: Most blenders are made to break down fruits, vegetables, grains, and ice, to name a few examples. Many people use blenders to make milkshakes and salsa, along with smoothies. In some cases, your blender might even be able to grind coffee beans and spices. You’ll want to do research on the particular model you’re looking to buy to ensure that it has these capabilities.
A: They are most often made from glass. Sometimes, to-go cups will be plastic, but typically, your main blender jars will be made from glass to keep them from breaking while the contents inside are being blended.
