How do you choose a smoothie maker?

You're looking for a smoothie maker, so you can turn fresh fruit and juice into a nice smoothie. A smoothie maker is a blender that's suitable for making smoothies. In this article, we'll discuss several properties, so you can make the best smoothie maker for you.

Choose smoothie maker

Blender, 2 smoothies, fruit

A smoothie maker is a blender with which you can make a smoothie of fruit and juice. There are a few things to keep in mind when you choose a smoothie blender, which are:

  • For how many people do you want to make smoothies?
  • How often do you want to make smoothies?
  • Which ingredients do you want to use for smoothies?
  • Do you want to clean the smoothie maker in the dishwasher?
  • Do you want to take smoothies on the go?
  • Do you want to keep smoothies fresh for longer?

For how many people do you want to use the blender?

Blender with large pitcher

When you choose a smoothie blender, first decide how many smoothies you want to make at the same time. There are blenders with a capacity of 0.6L with which you can make 2 smoothies. There are also blenders with a capacity of more than 2L, with which you can make up to 7 smoothies. If you have a small household or a small kitchen, a blender with a small capacity is nice. If you live with many people, choose a large blender.

How often do you want to use the blender?

Blender, 2 smoothies

How often you want to use the blender indicates how much power you need. Do you occasionally make a smoothie for you and your partner? In that case, a blender with 500W power is sufficient. Do you make multiple smoothies daily, or multiple smoothies after each other? We recommend a power around 750W.

Which ingredients do you want to mix?

Fruit in a blender

A blender with a higher power is also suitable for mixing hard ingredients. Do you like to make an ice cold smoothie with ice cubes? Consider a blender with a power around 1000W. If you only make smoothies with soft fruit and juice, you'll can do with a blender with a power of 500W. If you often mix carrots or frozen ingredients, choose a blender with a power of around 750W.

Do you clean the blender in the dishwasher?

Pitcher in the dishwasher

Some blenders are dishwasher-safe. That's useful if you use it often and don't like to do the dishes. Check which parts are dishwasher-safe beforehand. There are blenders that you can disassemble and wash in the dishwasher completely. With other blenders, you can only clean the lid or pitcher in the dishwasher.

Note: the motor can't ever go in the dishwasher.

Which smoothies do you want to take with you?

Blender to go

A blender to go is useful when you want to drink smoothies on the go. With these blenders, you can mix the smoothie in a pitcher which you can easily take with you if you twist on a to go lid. This way, you don't have to pour the smoothie into a separate to go cup.

Do you want to keep smoothies fresh for extra long?

Vacuum blender

A vacuum blender sucks all the air from the blender before it starts mixing. This way, you'll get an even smoothie without foam, air bubbles, and chunks. This preserves the nutrients better and the smoothie doesn't go bad as fast. This allows you to store the smoothie for a few hours without losing flavor, texture, or color.
