Thinking of buying a smoothie maker...need advice please?

[sicily1921]

MY Dcs aren't big on fruit so I wanted a way to feed them (and myself and DH) more of it. Is it a good buy do you think?

What's the difference between that and a blender?

I don't know

Don't , just use a hand held blender and a tall jug if you have one . Much cheaper does the same job and easier to clean

I am on my second Smoothie to go

The first one died through over use and when this one dies because I keep grinding up things I shouldnt in it I will definately buy another.

I like the fact that the cup screws off and exposes the blades so that they can go in the dishwasher and dont get all disgusting like a normal blender.

Our favourite is 1 banana, a handful of frozen strawberries or raspberries, a gloop (technical term) of natural yogurt, fill up with milk and a bit of cinnamon syrup - whizz for a few seconds and YUM!

thanks everyone, that's helpful ,now for the decision making!
