Hi. Beet smoothies are my favorite! But I’m getting bored with my simple recipe: almond or soy milk, fresh ginger, mix of banana or strawberry or mango … and sometimes orange zest or celery.

Some days I want more a sweet-tasting flavor to temper the earthiness of the beets. What ingredients do you add?

We are in the process of opening a brand new juice and smoothie bar with a small food menu in Washington state I have been in the restaurant industry for 20+ years. My husband was in car sales. Trying to get some ideas to create a killer menu, but having a hard time finding a platform for it.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy a smoothie blender and have been considering a Bosch blender. However, I’ve noticed NutriBullet and Ninja blenders are super popular too. I’d love to hear about your experiences with these brands.

Here’s what I’m looking for in a blender: • Durability: Does it last long with frequent use? • Ease of Cleaning: Is it quick and simple to clean after making smoothies? • Performance: Does it handle frozen fruits, nuts, or leafy greens well? • Noise Level: Is it relatively quiet or super loud?

I mostly want to make smoothies and occasionally grind nuts or seeds. Any specific models you recommend (or don’t)? I’d appreciate all your thoughts, comparisons, or suggestions!

Thanks in advance!

Title. I really like this smoothie but it's expensive and I want to be able to recreate it and also edit the recipe to my liking.

Also if anybody has the Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie recipe I would like that one too!

I’m looking for the best blender in the 100£ mark, mine has broken and I used my old on everyday day for smoothies. I ideally would like to make soup too but that isn’t a must.

Any one done a smoothie fast before...I have literally a whole freezer of frozen fruit..mango being my favourite..I wondered if the fruit only for 2 to 3 days would flush out any build up of muck in the body like a juice fast supposedly does

I'm looking for a smoothie blender under 100 EUR. It needs to be small, so I'm wondering if the NutriBullet is a decent choice here. Does anyone have any experience? I'm also wondering how loud it's going to be if I want to make a smoothie in an apartment at 7 a.m. xD

The 10 most recommended blenders on reddit

I’m doing some analysis on reddit data and looked at the most recommended (countertop) blenders in the past year. Thought I’d share the results here.

Its part of a side project of mine to play with Reddit data and LLMs. The goal was to create something useful for the community while learning and improving my development skills.

Hopefully it’ll be helpful / interesting to some. The idea is that it can paint a picture of which are the most well reviewed ones, which can be a useful data point for someone trying to make sense of the massive amount of fragmented information out there.

Methodology: For extraction and sentiment analysis, I used the Reddit API to scour reddit for discussions on blenders across all subreddits (limited to threads within one year for freshness). I sampled 100 relevant threads and used LLMs to analyze, extract, and categorize opinions from the comments. I also extracted info about the blenders being referred to and used that info to lookup the models on Amazon. Unfortunately for now the list only shows models available on Amazon (for simplicity’s sake).

For ranking, I calculated the normalized difference and ratio between the no. of positive and negative user sentiments, and used that to determine the final score for ranking.

Caveat: Handling and merging different descriptions, model numbers, abbreviations etc, and associating them with the right variation is non trivial, so its not 100% accurate. Let me know if you spot anything wrong or surprising.

Howdy! Anyone know of an off-brand option for jars-with-blade that will fit Blendtec blenders? Blendtec GO is $140 (Canadian) per jar and that feels out of reach for us.

I would like to know if anyone has bought this ninja blender and how well it goes. Planning to buy one. My first buy. Thank you

So, I know the actual blenders, blend jets, have been recalled and just have a lot of issues when it comes to them but in terms of the jet pack protein smoothies, are they good quality? I can’t really find much information and I was able to get around 6 of them for only 7 bucks including shipping. They had really great flavors so I figured why the hell not. I’m not really into protein smoothies or putting in the work to even make so I was planning using them as a stocking stuffer for my boyfriend this Christmas.

I’m debating between two personal blenders that seem virtually the same in terms of performance, though one is slightly newer and currently on sale. The Ultra is the newer model and looks to be on sale for ~$90 while the Pro+ appears to be selling for $130.

I wanted to know if anyone had used either/both to determine if there was any reason to pick one over the other.

As the title says, I recently picked up a new Ninja Blast as a portable smoothie option. However, I've read a lot of mixed reviews online about it. I currently have the Kitchen Aid K150 and I like my smoothies THICK and use a lot of frozen fruit (no fresh fruit), protien powder and almond milk. Will the Ninja Blast still perform as well or compromise my smoothies? Thanks!!

I cannot find replacement parts for model BL621 30. Would a BL6XX replacement part fit my model? Or it has to be very exact match.

I'm using the following. Its giving me about 40g of protein (losing weight so thats important) and its about at the limit of calories I want in there but wondering about adding some greens which don't alter the taste that much but give me some greens/vege... RIght now it has a vaguely peanut butter berry taste which is actually really good...

Spinach was what I was wondering but I am sure there are more interesting possibilities I am not thinking off! Would celery be too far? Thx!

1 cup mixed frozen berries

Half banana

Up to 1 cup yoghurt

1/2 cup milk

1 tbsp LSA

2 tblsp collagen peptides (no taste/protein)

2 tblsp peanut butter powder (mainly for protein but like the taste as well)

Anyone have it? It looks like they use a Apple syrup from what I can see

I’m trying to use smoothies to get in more veggies and fruit. What would you add or take away from the one I made today?

Kale Spinach Knob of ginger 1/4 lime 3/4 cup mango Half a banana Scoop of collagen A little water Ice

Title says it all! I am desperately ISO the perfect insulated smoothie cup for on the go! I would like to take my smoothies with me to work since I don’t always have time to eat and it would be nice to pack my husband them too since he works outdoors! I am looking into Owala and Stanley cups right now but open to any suggestions!!

Hi all,

I make smoothies each morning using Vega protein powder and it has fiber which gives it some scratchiness and is flavored...any suggestions for the protein powder with the least flavor so I can better taste the fruit, etc. that I add? I'm thinking just of getting a pure protein powder off amazon.

Soy protein?

Rice protein?

1 cup of chopped kale, 2 deseeded dates, 1 mini apple, ice, half of banana and a bit of water!

Super delicious 😋 and sweet but not to sweet! So yummy and delicious 😋

How bad is it for my health ? I usually add 3 to 4 heaping spoonfuls of splenda in my smoothies along with crushed ice, frozen fruit like strawberries, a whole skinned lemon and water.

I can't get myself to drink smoothies either way. They have to be Hella sweet for me to be able to enjoy.

Almond milk Peanut butter Vanilla protein powder Cinnamon Nutmeg

I picked up intermittent fasting again, and decided on smoothies for breakfast, for convenience. The smoothie includes

-frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries) -2% milk -spinach -avocado -yogurt -peanut butter -chia seeds

Anything else I should add? It’s filling, but I always have like a bar, because chewing makes me feel more satisfied.

I put it in the fridge and I guess the foam on top dissolved and this amount was left over. Just a heads up for people

I bought my second BL770 Ninja blender several months ago. The first one lasted well over 5 years so I figured we might as well buy another of the same model. The problem is that the gasket in the single serve cups has been loose and it fell into one of the smoothies I was making and has now been obliterated. When I went to look for replacement gaskets I was disappointed to find that the only option from Ninja was a full Nutri Ninja Blade Assembly replacement which is $28.99 + $10 shipping. That's 1/3 of the price I paid for the entire blender and accessories. When I called Ninja they confirmed they don't have the rubber gaskets available separately and they don't even have the Nutri Ninja Blade Assembly in stock. They even suggested searching Amazon for rubber gasket replacements. This is a part that probably needs to be replaced every 6 months in the first place! They should offer replacements! Yes there are plenty of replacement parts on Amazon, but they are all from no-name companies claiming that they use food safe rubber, but searching for these companies on Google you will find NOTHING and they don't have any sort of certification e.g. NSF certifications. Does anyone know where to get food safe rubber gasket replacements for these blenders from a well known reputable company? I'm halfway to just throwing this thing out and buying a Vitamix, but is that any better? Do they have parts like this that break frequently and are difficult to replace and/or unreasonably expensive?

Hey everyone How do you feel about microplastics from BPA-free jars?

I’m after a vacuum blender and ending up choosing between vitamix+VOID kit and Froothie Evolve (it has a glass jar with in-built vacuum function, 5-year warranty)

I had tested the Evolve one for a month, and it does a good job with the texture - everything is well-pulverized into a very consistent vitamix-like silky blend, however, sometimes it skips just a few bits - like a tiny particle of celery (less than 5mm) or a tiny particle of a walnut, also dates were an issue (but so for vitamix) though it happened about three-four times using a blender daily for like 20 days.

Do you think it’s worth compromising these little bits every now and then in my smoothie to avoid plastic jar? How do you make peace with plastic bits in your smoothies?

Thank you!
