I’m always looking for ways to sneak veggies into my young children one of their favorite things is smoothies. Our old blender would leave large chunks of ice so my kiddos never loved homemade smoothies. I tried this blender and I am blown away! I was able to make three restaurant quality smoothies in seconds! The ice fruit and veggies are perfectly blended and my picky little eaters were obsessed! I love the recipe book that comes with it for some great ideas! The blender is not too loud and easy to clean not to mention very user friendly the five year old was excited to help! It’s all you could ever dream of in a blender!
