Blender Review: Vitamix Vs Blendtec
An Overview of The Best High Powered Blenders
Posted February 24th, 2010 by noelle | View Comments
Vitamix and Blendtec make the most popular, high-powered, high-end blenders on the market. There is a lot of debate about which of these two blenders is the “best.” The debate is as heated as politics and religion at the dinner table. In my opinion, the “better” of the two blenders really comes down to your personal preference and style aesthetic. Both of these 
blenders are absolutely amazing – seriously amazing. I personally use the Blendtec blender. I like its sleek, compact shape (great for small kitchens) and how easy it is to clean.
Why buy a Vitamix or a Blendtec blender?
Vitamix and Blendtec blenders are expensive and cost over $400 – so why buy one? Wouldn’t a less expensive blender be just as good? Unfortunately, most blenders don’t have the power to fully chew up leafy greens and grind frozen fruit and ice to a smooth pulp. A creamy, chunk-free, leaf-free consistency enhances the taste and enjoyment of a blended drink. However, you can only appreciate how amazing a smoothie or blended soup can taste once you’ve tried a drink made in one of these high-powered Vitamix or Blendtec blenders. I was skeptical myself about these blenders until I tried a few smoothies from my local smoothie bar.
Why drink more smoothies and blended drinks?
Health beauties try and enjoy a blended smoothie or a savory soup a few times each week. A nutritious, blended meal is easy for your body to digest. This allows more of your body’s energy to be spent on healing, beautification and slimming work (rather than digestion all the time). That’s why you’ll find a lot of beauties enjoying smoothies, particularly for breakfast. Your body’s detox and fat burning work is believed to peak before noon. Smoothies are also great for kids because you can pack a lot of fruit and vegetables into them – and they still taste delicious.
