For the last few months, I’ve spent quite a bit of time drooling over blenders and juicers. Website after website, sparkly machine after sparkly machine. Imagine my surprise when The Fairy Hobmother reached across the pond to tell me about Appliance Online. Seriously, the world works in mysterious ways. Like I needed another resource to check out!
I’ve been making lots of smoothies – like this delicious one with Kale – and I’m concerned that our three-bladed blender is going to give out. This morning I asked The Texan if we had a back up. He says there is another in the basement. Hmm…I wonder if that one has four blades. Like they all should.
The Vitamix looks like an amazing machine; have you seen one? They remind me of the blenders that we used way, way back when I was bartending. It seems that everyone who has one of those loves it to pieces. I saw photos of a few smoothies that came out of that machine, holy cow! Impressive!
After making smoothies every day for the last two weeks and researching juicers, I don’t know that I actually need one. While juicers seem great for juicing, I love the texture of smoothies. They’re like milkshakes without the guilt. Can a juicer make juice into a shake-like texture?
What type of blenders and juicers do you use?

I’m so lame – I have a blender but never use it and no juicer here! Another place to research is another way to be sure you get the right one for you!

I don’t think you’re lame, Maggie! I’ve just started twice daily smoothies, and think I might want a juicer. However, my research is showing that a Vitamix might be all that I need. Juicers sound like a PITA to clean, which is not a good selling point for me!
Oh I’m just as lame. I don’t use a blender or a juicer
I have been wanting to invest in a juicer though~

I can’t wait to get one. I’ve decided on a Vitamix – I think we’ll use it more often. Now, to save my pennies!
Vitamix’s take my breath away. I would give anything for one. I try to add to my professional kitchenware at least once per year, and thus far-I’ve yet to get my hands on a Vitamix. I don’t a juicer, and my poor blender died a horrible death a few months ago when my husband attempted to make a milkshake without the top on. I haven’t replaced it yet
I am dying to get my hands on a Vitamix, too! Maybe I’ll give you my old blender when I do.
Fairy Hobmother would have a grand time visiting Jubilee Reviews!!
I love the Fairy Hobmother!!! Such a great inspiration! Good luck with the choosing

My husband and I are big smoothie fans. I would always choose a blender since we use ours on a daily basis. We just recently started using Kefir in our smoothies and it has that milkshake taste to me!

Ooohhh Kefir – does that make it a thicker texture, too? I’ve been making smoothies with almond milk lately, but thought about using Kefir.
Yes, it works well to give it a creamy texture. We buy Kefir in the vanilla flavor, but some already have fruit flavors.
