I went through five different smoothie/blender machines last fall to find one that finally works.
The problem was always either that they were not powerful enough, or if they were powerful, they would cause a massive foam-up of the smoothie I was trying to make.
It is WAY frustrating, I suspect many of you know what I’m talking about. We can add a coconut oil to help reduce foam, but it still doesn’t work as well as just using a machine that creates the end product that you want.
AND…it’s SUPER-EASY to CLEAN. Literally about 15 seconds rinse-out and you’re done, with a minute scrub down of the blade section and container section every few days..
(Every juicer I’ve used takes about five minutes to clean)
I use the Ninja every day. It handles completely frozen fruits for me weekend fruit-only smoothies, which I’ll cover in my extended program (it’s just apple, strawberry, a little stevia, almond milk and the protein powder found at the “Raw Whey Protein” link at the bottom of this page).
I think juicing has its applications, but I always prefer smoothing.
I drink my smoothies very slowly, kinda “chew” them. A daily smoothie for me consists of greens and protein, and I use the minimal frozen fruit to both cool it down in the blending, as well as to sweeten the greens which would be a bit intense without the fruit. I also use the new juice product I’m introducing to everyone as the main sweetener, a mere two ounces worth mixed into the blend (I never blend in this juice due to it being a final product as is). This new juice is taken in only small amounts, and has a supplement added to it that literally is rebuilding people’s bodies. One aspect of this is even FDA approved, it’s that well proven. Not that I give much of a crap most of the time what the FDA has to say about much of anything. 😉
I found the lowest price at Amazon for this blender I could find, feel free to search for a lower price if you can find it. A great, powerful smoothie maker that actually does what we all want them to do!!!
