Looking for a smoothy maker that will not break down after 20 times of use. any ideas?!
Answers: i've been a chef for over 30 years, i have 3 restaurants. I use only vita mix. yes, they're expensive, but i still have my 6 original blenders!! they get used daily. they make phenomenal smoothies.
vita mix
u can buy it online
it is awesome
it will make soups - smoothies - sauces
The good old blender works the best and is good for other things.
Personally I like the hand held immersion blenders. Black and Decker make one and Hamilton Beach makes a nice inexpensive immersion blender. The better the quality the better it will work. You might pay more for a good one, but it will last 5 times as long as those cheap KMart blenders.
I have worked in several restaurants, in which we use blenders everyday to make soups, sauces, oils, dressings, etc...Vita-Mix are the most common. They're incredibly endurable and easy to use.
I laugh when I see blenders in the store with 20 buttons across the control panel - "puree," "blend," "crush," "mix"...they all do the same thing, so don't waste your money on something dumb like that. Vita-Mix has two controls - one to turn it on or off, and one to set it at low or high speed.
I've had my magic bullet for 2 and a half years now and I continually use it for smoothys. Typically about 3 times a week I'm whipping up a smoothy out of that thing.

magic bullet. As long as you're using fresh food and not frozen, it works awesome! But when I use frozen fruit, I let it thaw for and it has the consistency of ice cream its SOOO good.
