We all, well most of us, like to stop in the fruit and vegetable section of supermarkets and greengrocers and stock up on healthy fruits such as bananas, apples, oranges and maybe even the odd exotic fruit like Kiwi and Mango. Fast forward a few days and the bananas are brown and maybe the apple has been in the fridge a little too long and just does not appeal to us anymore. And what about the Mango – maybe it’s been left a little too long and is now very ripe.
Making a cocktail of fruits and having fresh juice whenever you want is a great way of maintaining a healthy intake of vitamins and nutrients, and even if fruit is not a fresh as you’d normally like it to be, mixing them with other fruits can give you a tasty and refreshing drink. You can have your drink at breakfast, at work instead of a coffee, or even as a tasty desert with dinner. Some great combinations include banana, strawberry and mango, or apricot, peach and oranges.
It is important to have a blender which will suit your needs, so if you are looking for an entry level machine, you should be looking to spend around £50, whereas for heavy use, prices start at £100 and go up to £800. All blenders are easy to clean, and most accessories are dishwasher safe, but always read the instructions of any blender or juicer you buy.
We have a range of blenders and juicers, which are competitively priced and very easy to use but mainly from the Blendtec and the Vitamix Total Nutrition Centre range. These powerful yet silent blenders let your creative juices – no pun intended – run wild, and you can make smoothies, milk shakes and frappuccinos. Just chop your fruit, add some milk or ice cream, and you’re good to go. Of course, too many milk-shakes and smoothies is not too good for the body, but the odd one won’t hurt.
