Do you have a Blender you recommend?
Mine is old and I need to purchase another one soon. Just want to be sure it’s one that will really blend well including frozen fruits.
Thanks!
Erin says
Hi! Both the Vitamin and Blentec brands are high-quality and high-powered blenders that will blend frozen fruits easily! I actually have a high-powered Ninja blender right now that I love as well!
