For a fast, fresh, and filling breakfast, you really can't beat a smoothie. With just a few quick pulses you can pulverize ice, fruit, veggies, and more to whip yourself up a near-instant meal. Making smoothies at home is a great way to avoid the processed sugars you may find in grocery store and chain-restaurant versions. In fact, Ree Drummond even devoted an entire section of her cookbook The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays to "Resolution Smoothies."
Of course, not all blenders are created equal. To help you narrow down your options, we rounded up the best blenders for smoothies that cater to every budget and need. Included are personal blenders if you just want to use it for smoothies or need to save space, large splurge purchases if you want all the bells and whistles, and everything in between.
Our Top Picks
Personal blenders are designed to blend single servings of smoothies, including a cordless option if you're really on the go. In contrast, countertop blenders will often include features for pulsing, pureeing, ice cream making, and more. The downside to the latter is they take up more valuable counter space and are generally more expensive. Often the more multifunctional, the pricier they are. The possibilities are endless, though: You can also use them to make easy soups, restaurant-style salsa, and delicious party dips!
No matter which model you choose, all of these blenders will help you crush it in the kitchen when it comes to your morning routine.
