Smoothie Makers are a relatively new invention in the world of smoothies. More than anything, they are simply a luxury item which means they aren't needed in the process of making smoothies, but for those who love to "do things right", then they are certainly worth their weight in gold!
Smoothie makers are basically blenders with the added feature of a tap for pouring your smoothie out straight into the glass. It makes the whole process of making your smoothie much more systematic and "less messy" with the process being cut dramatically.
The more sophisticated smoothie makers can even cool your smoothie, or sense what consistency your smoothie is blending at. Pretty neat, huh?
Anyway, here's a roundup of what's on the smoothie makers market right now:
The most basic model of smoothie maker generally looks like the model to the right. It retails at around $50 and is essentially a blender with pouring tap underneath, and some pretty basic buttons to allow you to program the device.
This has been primed for smoothie making and is therefore not too powerful or too weak in its blending, etc.
This kind of device is perfect for the beginner or smoothie lover, since it's relatively cheap and pretty adaptable. |

This kind of smoothie maker is for the "industrialists" out there, who love to do everything on a big scale.
This model was designed for smoothie bars or even people who love to hold dinner parties and need the ability to produce large amounts of smoothies.
The big feature of this smoothie maker is simply the fact that it has two blenders and taps, which allows you to make two different smoothies at once, giving you a pretty big creative license! |
