What are the benefits of using a blender/smoothie machine? 

Invest in a new blender and hit your five a day

  • By using a blender and smoothie maker, the users get all the full benefits of the fruit and vegetables. As ingredients are blended rather than extracted like in juicers, the fiber found in the skin and pulp of fruit and vegetables are retained. 

  • Blenders or smoothie makers are not just good for whipping up drinks, they are also equally handy for anyone making dishes like salsas, dips and soups. 

  • If you’re looking for a good all-rounder it is worth finding a blender that has multiple attachments and can be used in many different ways. This is particularly helpful if you’re short of kitchen storage.
