Blenders are now a days the primarily tools for smoothies and frozen cocktails but they can also blend everything from soups to muffin batter to pesto to hummus to BBQ sauce. With a good blender in your kitchen, you can vastly expand your recipe repertoire.

Before buying a good blender, it’s a good idea to understand how it differs from a good one. Meanwhile, the best juicers completely separate the fibrous pulp of fruits and veggies from the delicious nectar inside, a blender homogenizes everything: what you put in the jar comes out chopped so finely chopped it’s pourable.
