The Ninja TWISTi high-speed blender is one of the first blenders that I have used that makes a perfect smoothie bowl every time. The cap that twists as the smoothie ingredients are mixing helps to make the bowl extra smooth and creamy. My kids ask for smoothie bowls all the time and with this blender, it makes the process so much easier. I also love to make homemade almond butter and have struggled with my Vitamix overheating and not being able to grind and mix the roasted almonds very well. This blender does the job just perfectly! I am sold and forever going to use this Ninja TWISTi for all my smoothies, smoothie bowls and nut butters!
