Being obsessed with the taste, and wide range health benefits associated with these fruit and vegetable concoctions, I went on a quest to find one of the best commercial blenders for smoothies.
Smoothies are a simple and delicious way to help provide your body with vital vitamins and nutrients. When purchasing store bought smoothies, it is difficult to know what kinds of artificial ingredients are added, so making them yourself is always the better option.
All it takes is a fruit juice or yogurt base, fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, and a blender. Making your own homemade smoothies also helps make use of old fruit that is starting to turn, while also providing all of the benefits for a healthy lifestyle.
One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to make a big change, not only for himself, but for my younger son. Being a role model was important to me, and I knew my health habits and struggles weren’t something I wanted him son to emulate.
I would consider myself to be a little overweight, but never really thought anything of it. I will admit though that my diet in the past hasn’t been the healthiest, splurging on fast food and other junk foods whenever I felt hungry or bored. It all changed when I had finally setup a doctor’s visit, and was told that I had high blood pressure.
My goal to live a long life and set a better example for my son convinced me to make some changes, including trying smoothies as a meal replacement.
Then I thought wouldn’t it be great if I could blend up my own smoothies at home? Since then, I have been making fruit smoothies every morning for breakfast. I have gained so much more energy, and don’t have that late morning crash like I used to, while also seeing those excess pounds slowly fade away.

Many weight loss programs recommend a shake, or other type of drink, in place of one of your normal meals. By supplementing your diet with yogurt smoothies it is possible to lose weight much easier and slim down the healthy way, while providing you with the essential nutrients your body needs.
Yogurt contains a handful of different nutrients such as Magnesium, Potassium, Vitamins B-2 and B-12, Calcium, and even a little Protein. Further, good bacteria, known as Probiotics, are also found in yogurt which is known to benefit your digestive system.
If you are looking for similar benefits, I think you’ll find this Cleanblend Commercial Blender to be a great option.
It liquefies all kinds of fruits and vegetables in order to get the most antioxidants, proteins, and vitamins all in one nutrient packed drink.
The pulse setting provides a finely tuned chop, with a light and creamy result for thicker recipes.
It also features a tamper wand to help break up pockets of air while you are blending, removing many of the lumps and chunks, resulting in a much smoother smoothie.

When it comes to blending frozen fruit for smoothies, most blenders have a difficult time getting a smooth consistency. Personally, I found this Blendtec Total Blender is best for addressing this issue.
Not only does it make the perfect smoothie, it is also great for making salsas, dressings, batters, sauces, soups, margaritas, cappuccinos, milk shakes, ice cream, fruit juice, and more!
Blending cycles include Hot Soup, Whole Juice, Ice Cream, Smoothie, Ice Crush, and Batters. The ten speed settings are controlled by plus and minus signs, and also includes a Pulse function.
It comes with commercial quality stainless steel blades, and a strong molded plastic base unit.
Commercial Blenders for Green Smoothies

The Vitamix Blender is my top pick because when it comes to making healthier green smoothies, it is powerful enough to liquefy tougher green ingredients such as Spinach or Kale with ease. This has always been a problem for me with basic blenders and other juicers.
Juice extractors generally tend to require a large amount of produce only to end up giving you a very small glass of actual juice, which can be costly over time.
This blender comes with three pre-programmed settings for Smoothies, Hot Soups, and Frozen Desserts to automatically process recipes while you perform other kitchen tasks.
The responsive Variable Speed Control and Pulse features give you complete control over every texture, helping you prepare gourmet meals with the speed and precision of a professional chef.
It also features 10 speed settings allowing you to process many different ingredient textures effortlessly. Clean up is also extremely easy. All you need is some warm water and a few drops of dish soap, and the machine can self-clean in about 30 to 60 seconds.
I will definitely continue making delicious smoothies with this blender in the comfort of my own home, while also benefiting from a healthier lifestyle.
