This blender is both powerful and versatile. I've used it to make almond and peanut butters, which were perfectly creamy - there's also an option for chunky if you prefer. The soups I've cooked with this have the perfect texture, from butternut squash to gazpacho. My favorite is the smoothie blending feature which blends fruits and vegetables until the leafy greens are unnoticeable, so perfect for getting kids to eat their veggies. This does it all!
