You can make everything from frozen drinks — like smoothies and shakes — to adult cocktails. You can even make homemade baby food! Most of the blenders offer enough power to chop, grind, shred or blend solids, too. The higher the listed wattage the more powerful the blender. If you’re talking about fresh fruits and vegetables, pretty much everything you see here should be fine. Although, with some of the low-power blenders you might have to let frozen goods thaw first. If you’re talking about nuts or tougher ingredients you might run into some trouble with the low-power models, but something like one of Ninja’s 700 to 900-watt blenders would be excellent.
