Is Your Kitchen Waiting For One of the Best Blenders on the Market?

If your life goals include more smoothies and fresh produce, you'll need a good blender on the counter to turn great food into healthy drinks. Depending on your family size and the number of smoothie and blended drink fans, you may require tools that make multiple drinks, or you may be better off with a single smoothie personal blender. Additionally, there are many decisions to make in terms of your blending container; do you want a glass jar blender, or the new plastic option? There are many blenders and smoothie makers that either come with to-go cups or blend the drink right in the container for your convenience. No matter your needs, the blenders on the market today can turn your kitchen into a healthy-drink mecca for those New Year fitness goals.

1 - Ninja Nutri Pro

The Ninja Nutri Pro compact personal blender includes two to-go cups that fit right over the blender mechanism. With two cups, you will never be stuck without the ability to make a smoothie because your cup is still in the dishwasher. The steps are simple; load your cup with the produce, protein and dairy your want in your smoothie. Then screw the Ninja Nutri Pro blade mechanism into the cup and turn it upside down before setting it in the base. Press down on the cup to pulse the blade until your smoothie is blended.

2 - Ninja Professional Countertop Blender

If you've got a family that loves blended drinks, the Ninja Professional Countertop Blender will turn ice into snow in short order, which you can then load with berries, yogurt, spinach and protein powder for a luscious breakfast. Of course, you can also add the necessaries for a margarita for an adult beverage. This Ninja Professional comes with personal blender cups as well.

3 - Oster Blender

If you're looking for a blender with a heartier blending cup than many of the plastic products on the market, the Oster Blender family blending kit may be just what you need. You'll enjoy 900 watts of ice blending power, a hearty and heavy glass blending cup, and a to go cup for your drink. This blender also has a programmable base with up to three pre-programmable settings for your favorite drinks.

4 - NutriBullet Blender

The NutriBullet Blender is a great option if you need to blend thicker products. Thanks to the short blending pitcher and additional single-serving glasses with blender attachments, you can make smoothies in your to-go cup and nut butters in the wide-mouthed pitcher.

5 - Mueller Austria Stick Blender

Stick blenders offer many benefits. You can blend your smoothie in the cup of your choice from the bottom up. You can add a whisk and froth up a coffee drink, or use your blender attachment to create a yummy dessert treat. You can also use your Mueller Austria stick blender to make creamy soups and salsa. Finally, you can create your own nut butters with your stick blender and not have to scrape out the product; simply wash your stick blender and seal the jar.
