If there’s one piece of kit that every healthy gal needs in her kitchen, it’s a decent tool for blitzing various fruits, veggies, leaves, oats and spuriously-named adaptogenic powders into a smooth, easy-to-get-it-down-ya smoothie.
Because mornings are busy; your bod’s needs are demanding, especially in this season when everyone’s immune system fight-back-ability seems to be MIA.
And there’s just no faster – and let’s be real, idiot-proof – way of getting all your nutrients into you system first thing in the morn that chucking them all together and letting a motorised blade do the work.
The palatability of your smoo spends on your ability to choose the right mix of flavours and colours for your ingredients (as anyone who’s added a carrot to an otherwise green blend and ended up with a dodgy-looking brown sludge will know).
But the consistency matters, too. Non-pulverised chunks in a watery blend do not a pleasant start to do the day make. If follows, then, that you need a smoothie maker with some serious force.
Our expert appliance and taste testers put 15 smoothie makers through their paces; you can read their in-depth edit here.
But we’ve got good news. One of their top-rated smoothie makers – from reliable kitchen appliance brand Tefal – is discounted by a very healthy 50% this Black Friday.
Here’s what they said:
The price of this versatile vacuum smoothie maker may be on the steep side, but it comes with a two-year guarantee and a generous ten-year repair warranty.
It scored almost full marks for performance, just falling short due to not completely blitzing ice and raspberry seeds.
The lid was quite stiff to attach and remove from the cup, especially after vacuum blending, but on the whole, you get your money’s worth.
And you can bet that, this Black Friday weekend – with the price slashed to just £62.99 – you will seriously get your money’s worth.
So, if you’re looking to trade up your smoothie maker – or invest in your first – we’d heartily suggest hopping on this deal.
