So I decided to start a new series of posts to highlight my favorite kitchen gadgets. I'm excited to share with you the stuff I can't live without in my kitchen. No paid advertisements, no sponsors...just my honest opinions of products that I have come to rely on and love. The first product in the series of posts is dedicated to the one appliance most used in our home (if you don't count the fridge, oven, or dishwasher, of course).
Our Blender choice: BlendTec
We have had our Blendtec blender since August of 2009. My husband started making a shift in his lifestyle and after adopting the love of running, wanted to incorporate a healthier diet. We were on the market to find the best blender for green smoothies and this blender met all our needs. I'll admit, it was hard to swallow the price tag, but over three years and 2000+ uses the expense has been more than justified.
The blender itself can do so much more than just smoothies, but green smoothies are what gets the most usage day to day in our blender. If you've ever tried a smoothie that still had chunks of ice, fruit, or worse kale or spinach...you probably didn't go back for more. This appliance takes care of any kind of texture other blenders might leave behind. It's also programmable, so at the touch of a button, the blender gets to work on my smoothie and I'm free to walk away and tend to other things. Still not convinced, do a quick search on youtube and find the Blendtec blending a cell phone and all sorts of other crazy random things.
As a bonus, I've included my Green smoothie recipe. It took me many tries to get the taste just right, so adjust the flavors as needed until you are sold on the idea of greens in your smoothie; you'll be surprised to find you can't taste the greens. Even my 18 month old son loves to drink them each morning. It's the one thing we all share at the beginning of each day.
