Why Do I Need a Blender?

You’ve heard about blenders, and you’ve probably thought about buying one, but it makes sense to ask the obvious question – why do you need one? There are a lot of ways to answer this question, so let’s get started.

A blender is a great way to add healthy foods to your diet in a simpler and more convenient way. Because you can add a number of fruits and vegetables to each smoothie you make, you’ll be able to reach your target produce servings in just one drink, instead of having to fill your plate with side after side of vegetables or fruit.

You will also find that it’s easier to stick to your healthy habits when you use a blender instead of other appliances or kitchen tools. All you need to do is to wash the produce off and throw it into the blender – and you’re ready to go. For those who think eating healthfully is hard or time consuming, blenders are a way to ensure you only spend minutes doing something positive for your body.

Smoothies have been shown to be effective and natural meal replacements and snacks, allowing you to improve your health, reduce your weight, or boost your caloric intake, if that’s something you need right now.

You can also make healthy dishes like soups in a blender, which means you will have versatility in your diet, something that can make it all the easier to stick to a new way of eating, even if you’ve been stuck in a junk food rut for a while.

While the healthy side of blenders is something you may have already guessed or known, the practical benefits of blending often go unnoticed. Think about what it would take to make a smoothie without a blender. You would need to mash up all of the ingredients by hand and stir them until they got to the consistency you liked. Then, you would have to crush ice to make up an ice smoothie and blend everything together. Though this would certainly give you a workout, it would take hours to prepare just one smoothie that would take a minute to make in a high quality blender.

For those who just don’t have the time to make full meals or lunches, a blender saves you precious minutes or hours each day. All you need to do is gather the ingredients the night before and then press a button when you wake up. For those who aren’t cooks or who don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen, a blender is the easiest way to make sure you’re staying healthy – and not adding stress to your day.

With all of the blender options available now, you can also save money too. Since they’re much more price friendly and they even offer refurbished models at a discount, you don’t have to spend your money on smoothies made outside of your home. Those add up!

(And once you have a blender, you might find there are even more benefits. If you do, let me know!)
