trying to get into shakes/smoothies, not just for treating myself. Also to make some good health cleanse drinks with veggies and stuff. My blender now sucks at chopping the ice well. Leaves me with odd chunks here and there.
You guys recommend something to get a nice smooth texture. no lumps.

i just bought a kitchen aid, kinda like these to replace my old as hell oster blender.
it works well, but there's always that one stray frozen strawberry that doesn't blend...

waring bar blenders last, but expensive.
this one (oster 12 speed) is good for the budget conscious:

i've used this for years.
all those extra buttons are pointless. all you need is on/off/pulse

I've used a Braun hand blender every day, twice a day, for about 5 years. It comes wtb a big cup you use to blend your smoothie. I use frozen fruit, cause ice doesn't work well. It's real nice. Recommended.
- Very easy and quick to rinse/wash, which is why this is a real winnerletterhead

- i use this as well. very easy to clean. the blenders above are old news.lambsy
- even chopped the top of my thumb of with one, pretty sharp stuff.Hombre_Lobo
- i like this cause i think, i could use it to make pea/other veggie soup AND STUFF :) Making stone intopowder sounds interesting though.hiatus

man, after vegging out one night on cheesy infomericals, my fiance actually ordered the magic bullet. i gave her so much shit for it (she actually thought we may use it the way it was advertised).
well, i have to eat my words every morning when i wake up and make a smoothie now. granted, all we use it for are smoothies...but regardless, the thing rocks. throw in some berries, milk, a banana, and whatever supplements you want and it blends everything perfectly.
if all you're going to use it for are smoothies it kinda rocks. plus you get a handful of cups that you can just toss in the dishwasher (so you don't have to clean the blender out after each use).

Counter space is an issue of course. DAM what to get. I think I'll go with one of these cause I also need something that can food process.
