Best blender
Whip up a smoothie or mix the most delicious shake with this breakdown of the best blenders.
With a blender, you can quickly whip up a healthy smoothie. This handy appliance liquefies fruits, vegetables, seeds, and even protein powder into a highly nourishing beverage. If you use frozen fruits, you can also make a refreshing iced drink. Nutrients are even absorbed quicker when in liquid form than when digested as a solid, so having a blender on hand can be really beneficial. Here's a breakdown of my top picks.

Pros:

If you're looking for a blender that is designed for convenience, this is the one. Fruit and veggie mixtures are combined into a to-go bottle.

Aside from the convenient bottle set-up, this appliance is simple to use. All you have to do is place your ingredients into the bottle, screw on the bladed attachment, and in 5 to 10 seconds, your smoothie should be blended. Swap the bladed attachment for the regular lid, and your drink is ready to go.
This blender is powered by a 300-watt motor that is strong enough to cut through ice and frozen fruits, so feel free to make yourself a cool and refreshing snack. Plus, it's dishwasher-safe, so cleaning is a breeze.
