I like my smoothies on the thicker side. Smoothie bowel? Yes, please! I want to eat my smoothies with a spoon not a straw! The Ninja Twisti is perfect for that! The little arms at the top (the technical term?) Are perfect for helping to mix and movie my frozen fruits and vegetables into creamy smooth goodness. I honestly use it every morning and love that it comes with different size options for the blender cup that are dishwasher safe. My kids love to use it to make milkshakes too.
