blenderguide101There’s only one piece of equipment you’ll need to rawk the 10-Day Green SmoothieChallenge—a trusty blender that will be by your side the next 10 days.Now, let me tell you a little secret: Any blender will work for making greensmoothies. Start with what you have to get blending today. I started with a 50blender (that was collecting dust in my cupboard) and it got the job done. Myfamily made our first 100 green smoothies with this blender. Eventually I burnt themotor out (sparks, smoke and all) and I knew it was time to up our game.My first time blender shopping was a little intense. We didn’t have muchmoney and these high speed blenders can get pricey! Eventually, I opted for areconditioned Vitamix blender and it was a game changer. A high speed blenderdoes make a huge difference and I do recommend investing in one when you areready to make green smoothies a daily habit.Since then, I’ve tested TONS of blenders and written reviews on which ones areworth the hype (and which aren’t). You might be surprised with a few of them!C H E C K O U T T H E B L E N D E R G U I D E : S G S .T O / B L E N D E R S27
