Blenders and Smoothie Articles

You may be partial to this question: And what about all of these blending -recipes - storage - ingredient shopping - and bad food - throwing away issues?

Perhaps you have been at a home expo, a health food show event, at CostCo, Sam's Club, and have seen a blender presentation. The worst,... the Montel Williams Health Master Infomercial... These guys at the demos and on the infomercial make great smoothies, soups, ice creams etc.; all those yummy things your mouth drools over. And then there are just about these endless amounts of smoothie recipe videos on Youtube, more than enough websites and blogs showing off a healthy and great looking blended meal or drink. Yes, you bet, you can also make it all. All you have to get is [THIS] or [THAT] blender equipment for only $500 dollars or so...and you are on your way, right? WRONG!

Here we go; it is not intended to sell you a blender with this article, but to kind-off-sort-off tell you the reality-angle of blending and what it really takes and that buying a health food diet raw smoothie high performance blender is really all about changing your lifestyle. Do you think it is easy to change your hamburger-graving food habits over night? In that respect, I read a research report about small kitchen appliances and how often they are used. The survey revealed that less than 40% of those consumers who bought them are using them some times and about only 5% of those total who buy for example these high performance blenders actually blend their 'healthy-green-raw-or-what-ever smoothie' every day. Yes, correct, this means that more than 60% do not use their darn expensive blenders at all. Ouch!

The reality wake-up call is that most people do not automatically come with the skill and knowledge-set to manage and arrange a new blending and raw lifestyle affair over night. Making raw smoothies is not as easy as you can turn on your blender. And then, as the introducing question already announced, there are many more issues that can put a huge stumbling block into your lifestyle adjustment.

Buying a blender for $ 250 bucks upwards (these are the good blenders...anything else or less may not be strong enough that can handle the seeds and get you the desired texture), is only the beginning. And we need to take into this equation also the fact that all those yummy smoothies, ice creams, sauces, and soups that you may have savored over at Costco or wherever-the-heck-expo blender presentation you were, the presenters are hired professional smoothie blender chefs! They often have years of experience to make smoothies. And they have all the food available at that demo stand. And they only make planned recipe smoothies, soups and ice creams. They follow a script too.

Of course, you can do it too. Buy your blender, make your first smoothie. Try to copy the soup or ice cream you just had seen so easily and quickly made. Most people, as the statistics have shown, experience an embarrassing disappointment. It's embarrassing because you just spent $ 500 or so bucks on a blender. At least spend only $250 and you get the same quality anyway.

And so you tell yourself "Ok, I will try it again tomorrow". And tomorrow will come and 6 months later the blender is either returned, off the counter top or in the garage...back in the box. That is why, as a blender dealer, I have frequently been blessed with buying old but brand-new never used and still in the box high performance blenders for a bargain. What a shame... So, please, do yourself a favor, read on.

Explore what it might take for one or the other to really become a smoothie raw food healthy soup etc. expert. Because if you are not planning on becoming a raw food enthusiast, why do you want to buy a 3 hp high performance blender? A KitchenAid blender or Cusinart might just be sufficient for your occasional usage.

As an intro to Blending 101-Lifestyle Choice, please note, unless you have tons of capital, you cannot just change your modern kitchen into a raw kitchen over night. And most of all, this lifestyle change begun with the purchase of your blender. It requires more than just a blender. If you put into your mind right now "TO MAKE IT ALL AS EASY AS POSSIBLE" it will help your chances to switch over easier.

A simple - to use Blender is the best start. I recommend the OMNI V 3 Hp Blender. Everything needs to be made simple. Leonardo DaVinci said that "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". Why the heck do you need a blender-television-radio-cell-phone-computer-station, all-in-one? According to our dear and famous competitors, their blenders can replace 20-something or even more of other small appliances...what a crock. Don't believe it. A Blender is best for blending smoothies and sauces, nothing else! So, please do not throw away your toaster oven (LOL), your food processor and mixer, etc... You will find out  "WHY" later!

And if you want to hear my opinion, I personally also believe that you should cook your hot soups in your cooking pot. Maybe at the end you can put into that delicious soup of yours some blended-up pureed fresh vegetables. But for the sake of argument, yes, all the 3 hp blenders available, including the <2 hp Montel Blender, can make hot soup by blending between 4 to 7 minutes.
