Smoothie Makers
7 Answers
I've never been one for fruit thanks to having Asperger's - the texture to me is like nails down a chalk board yet smoothies I can manage.
I brother has a Salter 1000W smoothie maker and made me a smoothie with loads of fruit I'd never normally be able to eat. Loved it but very bitty, had to run it through for AGES but couldn't get rid of all the bits.
Just had a look in a local supermarket and saw a NutriBullet for £130, specifically looked at this one as it's so highly rated but also saw the Nutri Ninja and a couple others yet the NutriBullet was only 600W.
Anyone use a quality smoothie maker? Does it pulverise the ingredients even destroying bits of skin like that on grapes etc.?
Really need some help here, want to eat better but can't do it the conventional way :(

pastafreak - how smooth would you say they came out? I know the amount of milk to fruit will affect the end result but it's the texture I can't handle - need to get it as smooth as possible.
Pigletion - I put the high £130 price tag down to it being a physical store and not an online presence but then again, I've not followed the prices of these items at all so it may just be overpriced or come with a lot more than other versions of itself. The box did seem quite big for something that's supposed to be for something that I've been told is so small.

The £130 is the 900W one. I have that as I don`t really like fruit but can drink a smoothie. I am a bit disappointed with it really because there was a lot of hype about it breaking down everything including seeds etc but it doesn`t do that. There are still bits of skin etc which doesn`t bother me but the texture is not as smooth as I expected.
Follow Barmaid's advice or, instead of a Smoothie Maker, buy a Blender/Liquidizer. My sister-in-law is really into Smoothies and makes them all in a liquidizer that was recently purchased for about £20.
