My husband will tell you that I eat 1-2 meals a day in blended form. It's not for any one particular health reason (although blended foods are broken down better, thereby making them easier for our bodies to absorb nutrients) -- but just because I can blend up a delicious and nutrient packed smoothie in a matter of seconds. Especially in the summer months, this is clutch!
So it's only fitting that I introduce you to my all time favorite kitchen appliance..... THE ALL MIGHTY BLENDTEC. This is the Rolls Royce of all blenders.
Aside from the Vitamix, the Blendtec is the only high powered motor blender I would ever use at home. The blender wars between Vitamix and Blendtec can get pretty serious. Die hard smoothie and juice lovers can even claim identity depending on which blender they prefer (Team Blendtec vs. Team Vitamix). Here's why I'm on Team Blendtec:
- Blendtecs are typically chaper than the Vitamix
- Bledtecs have more horsepower
- The Blendtec's shorter/wider container will fit into your cabinets better (mine never leaves my counter top for long enough to actually be put away!)
- The blender container can be used for both wet and dry materials; whereas the Vitamix requires that you buy a separate dry pitcher.
- The Blendtec is sasier and faster to clean. You just put a little bit of soap with hot water in the pitcher, blend, and rinse. Voila!
And when I say these motors are powerful, I'm as serious as a heart attack. They have as much horsepower as a lawn mower! The "Will it Blend" video presentations clearly demonstrate what I'm taking about. I've watched this guy blend hockey pucks, iphones, golf balls, Nike shoes, crowbars....you name it!
And if you're still not convinced the Blendtec is where it's at (what's wrong with you, anyway??).... then watch Matt & Angela's blender comparison video.
♥ Cheers to your health ♥
