Best Blender for Smoothies (Mine is 8 Years Old and Going Strong)

Want a quick weight loss tip? Drink ONE green smoothie every day. Better yet, swap it out for your regular breakfast. I have a friend who lost 20+ pounds over 3 months with just this one simple tweak.

It's SO easy to make, especially if you have the right tools. You know what I mean, right? Have you ever tried to get a regular blender to deliver a smoothie, only to wind up with a coarse and unpalatable drink? The quality of your smoothie is bound to improve with the quality of your blender. It's a world of difference between a high performance machine and a K Mart special. 

When I searched for blenders on Amazon just now I came up with 5,119 results. That's a LOT of blenders, and choosing one can seem overwhelming.

What to Look For in a Blender

When I was doing the research for buying my blender the one brand that came up repeatedly – and still does – is Vitamix. It's been 8 years since I bought my first one and I haven't had a chance to upgrade. It still works like it's brand new, and this puppy has blended lots of smoothies, sauces and soups.

Of course, the best blender for smoothies is the one you'll use! Here are the four criteria I used to pick my own blender, and the Vitamix 450 excelled in all of them:

√ Ease of Use – put in fruits/veggies, water/ice and blend… that's it!
√ Size of Blender  – 64-ounce container big enough for a family of four
√ Ability to Blend – smooth texture for smoothies and soups
√ Fast Cleaning – a little soap and warm water and she's clean

The Vitamix is a high performance blender because of the metal drive system. Unlike other blenders with plastic components that wear quickly, it uses a metal drive system to connect the container to the motor base – allowing better blends and longer lifespan. It uses blades of steel that are great for blending even single ingredients, like nuts into nut butters.

Is This The Right Blender For You?

I could wax on about this blender for hours, I'm such a fan. After all, I've been using it for quite a spell. But is it the right one for you? It is if you want to… 

1. make green smoothies every day
2. add a quick, hassle-free meal to aid in your weight loss
3. increase the amount of fruits and vegetables your family eats
4. make green smoothies in one shot for the whole family

This review wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention the one drawback to this blender… it's not counter top friendly. Because of it's size chances are that it won't fit on your counter top. I store it in one of my lower cabinets and take it out for use every day. That's the only minus I've noticed in eight years of daily use.

A Vitamix 4500 is a solid investment for a healthy kitchen.It IS an investment, but you do get what you pay for. And who better to invest in than you? That's right! You can get yours today on Amazon …
