If you are looking to buy a bender then the best bet that you can make is buying a speed blender that provides an adequate amount of blending power without generating too much heat. The reason that you want things to pan out in this manner is because a big motor means a lot of noise and lot more heat – something that doesn’t sit well at all with the whole idea of blending ice wit some fruit. The ice would have melted by the time you got done with mixing the fruit and the ice as well as some alcohol in the mix.
The Vita Mix 1300 TurboBlend 4500 is one of the best blenders out there on the market with this regard. Not only is it constructed in a manner that doesn’t allow the heat to dissipate into the blending container but the unit is quite stylish looking as well.The blender jar is what has ben termed as virtually unbreakable and at 64 ounces the jar can handle pretty much everything that you throw into it except the kitchen sink. You could easily make a banana shake and embellish it with apples and strawberries.
This blender isn’t just for parties and customers who consider themselves to be healthy eaters. Parents of new born children who wouldn’t want to feed their kids with baby food that has preservatives and other kinds of chemicals in them can now make fresh baby mash which is of better if not as good a consistency than anything that you will be able to buy in a bottle or in a box from somewhere. Some parents claim that you can mash baby food with spoons and forks but if you ask me, it is just an unnecessary risk that I as a parent myself are not willing to take.
