Blender FAQ

Before buying a blender, there are a couple of things to look out for. Consider the motor power, jug design and speed settings to see if they match your needs. Look for high-powered motors that can blend a wide range of ingredients. Check the jug size and make sure the blades are made from strong materials like stainless steel. Also, look for a blender with multiple speeds so you’ll be able to achieve perfect textures across different recipes. You may also want to look for a blender with other features like automatic preset programs and pulse buttons.

A blender is a very versatile kitchen tool which can make a wide range of things like smoothies, soups, sauces, and dressings. They are perfect for blending fruits, and vegetables, crushing ice, purees, dips, doughs, and batters, and even grinding nuts and grains to make nut butter and flours. You can also create fresh vegan milk such as nut milk or soy milk. The possibilities are endless!
