Smoothies have become a daily staple for many health-conscious eaters. And that’s no surprise: They’re a foolproof way to combine fruit, veggies, yogurt, and healthy nuts and nut butters into one delicious meal. To add smoothies to your lineup of healthy, filling food options, you’ll need a blender that’s up for the task. Unfortunately, many models on the market fall short for a number of reasons: They don’t blend into a consistent texture, they struggle to puree common ingredients like nuts or leafy greens, or they leave tiny ice chunks suspended throughout every smoothie (which some people like and others can’t stand). Here, we round up the best blenders for making perfect smoothies with ease.
