If you're planning on getting a new blender, then I have a suggestion for you. The Euro Pro Ninja Master Prep.
You may have seen the infomercial, and if you watched it, then you have a good idea of the capabilities of this blender. When I saw it, I decided that it might make a great addition to my kitchen appliance collection. Especially in light of my new interest in healthier eating. I was not disappointed either.
For Healthy Eating
As you may or may not know, green smoothies are the rage in the healthy eating scene. And with good reason. All the research is now showing that raw foods are the way to supply your body with the highest quality nutrition. Basically, the China Study has shown that meat, while tasting good, is not a healthy addition to the human diet. In essence, meat in the diet leads to cancer and heart disease. Not everyone is willing to give up meat (including me...at least not entirely. I have cut down significantly.) With this information in mind I set out to find healthier ways of eating, and found out about the “raw movement.” That's where the Ninja Master Prep comes in.
Nutritionally speaking, the best foods that you can eat are leafy green vegetables. No, not iceberg lettuce. Although Romaine is a pretty good choice. I am talking about Kale, Collared Greens and Mustard Greens. If I asked you which food has the most protein per calorie, steak, or collared greens, which would you pick? Yes, this is a trick question. Surprisingly, the answer is collared greens. Note that I said “per calorie”, not “per pound”. But that answer is the reason I love the Ninja Master Prep so much. In just seconds I can combine greens and beans (another of the super foods) along with some blueberries (yes, another nutrition powerhouse) into a green smoothie that is not only tasty, but is like taking a super vitamin pill.
For Fun Food
Just so you won't get the idea that that;s all it's good for, this blender makes a great snow cone too. You want some chopped up ice; chopped up so fine, that it's like snow, then this is your machine. Not to mention the Margaritas you can make with this thing.
Or salsa. Do you like salsa. Throw a few fresh tomatoes, peppers, and onion pieces in and then just pulse it a couple of times. Done! Fresh, healthy, good tasting salsa.
The Blender That Does It All
I have used to make smoothies, snow cones, drinks, salsa, and even some amazing soups. I use this blender more than any other kitchen appliance. Even more than my microwave oven. It's that useful. So if you think you might be in the market for new blender, the you really have to check out the Ninja Master Prep blender. The best blender I have ever used.
