Tim and I are obsessed with smoothies. We go to Costco and buy bags of mixed frozen fruit and then Odwalla orange juice for specifically this purpose. So amazing. And definitely lots of fruit. Pure fruit. Frozen fruit + banana+ orange juice = amazing smoothie.
But we are having problems with blenders.
First, we bought this one:
Which was good. In fact, it was great! . . . for a while. THEN I tried to blend mashed potatoes in it on Wednesday night, and it died. Completely.So sad. I think Tim was crying in fact.
Then, the next day, our smoothie withdrawals got so terrible that we went out and bought this one with the help of a gift card (wedding present):
Unfortunately . . .
Well, let's just say we're taking it back. I even taped up the box so it looks like we NEVER used it. I can't deal with a new blender working like this?
Where can I find a decent smoothie blender?!?!?! Blenders are just notorious for not lasting very long. And I don't appreciate it. I also don't appreciate how lots of times when you get smoothies at Jamba Juice, they have little fruit chunks in them. Obviously their blenders aren't that great either. I also don't appreciate that they cost so freaking ridiculously much. AND how they add sugar. Not that either.
OUR SMOOTHIES ARE BETTER. But we need a better blender.
There's this one called the Vita-mix, it's pretty much top of the line and ridiculously priced, but it sounds like you guys are serious so I thought I'd mention it :)
ReplyDeleteThe Jamba Juice blenders are actually amazing, and they are actually the vita-mix ones. Jamba just doesn't blend their smoothies long enough to be more efficient. My mom owns one. They are pretty good. You can actually blend and warm soup in them.
