Why you need one

A good blender is a super helpful kitchen tool that is not just for making smoothies. A high-powered blender is a wonderful investment that can take healthy, whole-food ingredients and transform them into delicious dressings, savory sauces and spreads, sweet sauces, dips and so much more. It helps greatly with food prep by chopping, pureeing, and grinding.

Trying to choose between a blender and a food processor? Here’s a helpful post I wrote explaining their differences.

Where to find one

My two favorite blenders are the Blendtec and the Vitamix. They are both powerful blenders that always do an excellent job. They are expensive, but in my opinion, they will pay for themselves many times over. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the two.

Some other good blenders are:

Breville BBL620 – It’s 1100 watts and does a great job for the price.

Ninja Professional Blender – It’s 1000 watts. It does an okay job.
