With a 1000-watt engine, the Ninja Pro Blender 1000 can handle challenging items, including ice, frozen fruits, nuts, seeds, and leafy greens. The engine drives six stainless steel blades set up in three levels to produce a total crushing action. The blades can quickly reduce ice to the consistency of snow and can also be used to blend smoothies, soups, sauces, dips, and other things.
