MEmama Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Title pretty well says it all. I'm looking for a decent blender for green smoothies that hopefully doesn't cost $$$. Any recommendations are much appreciated! (Recipes too! This is new territory for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 We got a nice Vitamix from Costco at a nicer price than usual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 The Kitchen-Aid 5-Speed Diamond Blender because I cannot afford a Vitamix or Blendtec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I am very happy with my NutriBullet Pro, got it from Bed Bath Beyond, cost $80 with coupon. t takes greens, fruit, whatever and pulverizes them, makes wonderful shakes. It's a breeze to clean, and stores easily on shelf or counter, just the right size, imo. https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/nutribullet?ta=typeahead&ml=v1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Ditto on the NutriBullet. Dh puts broccoli in his smoothies and can drink it through a regular straw--no chewing. :laugh: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I put in one orange, a frozen banana, some berries, a bunch of kale and a bit of water as needed. It doesn't come out green. More like a purply brown. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) My vitamix makes smoothies. My old blender made chunkies. Edited July 29, 2017 by kewb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I just use a boring old Osterizer Galaxie 10 speed but it does the trick for me. It'll pulverize apples no problem. I love that you can screw on a canning jar and the drink right out of that. My mom used to have the same one and hers lasted her a good 30 years. There are a bunch of them on ebay for quite reasonable prices. My favourite cheapy smoothy is discounted salad mix of any type besides coleslaw or wilty lettuce and cored but not peeled, granny smith apples. Other fruit is nice too but the apples are enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Nutribullet. Small and powerful enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane in CO Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I love the Nutribullet I bought. The smoothies I like to make are basically the Harley Pasternak Breakfast smoothie with some additional add-in's depending on what I want that day: 1 banana 5 almonds 1/2 cup greek plain yogurt 1/4 cup skim milk cinnamon 1 apple (cored) I like to add celery and spinach to my smoothies as well as 10 icecubes so that it is nice and cold. Sometimes I will sub out the apple for strawberries/blueberries/peach (whatever fruit I bought at the grocery store that week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Look for the highest wattage Nutribullet, based on recommendations I got here, the one I picked up is 1000w. Love it. I second Bed Bath & Beyond with a 20% off coupon. My JJ Virgin meal replacement shake goes like this: 1 c coconut milk 1 scoop vegan pea powder 1 c frozen berries 1 Tbsp chia/flax seed mix Handful of kale or spinach 4-6 ice cubes Water to thin if necessary I also like green smoothies with pineapple, spinach and ice.
