5 Blenders For All Your Smoothie Needs

The humble blender has been a kitchen staple for years now. Either stocked away in a cabinet, waiting for its time to shine (which happens once or twice a day), or it sits proudly on your kitchen counter, in its designated spot, smugly occupying coveted prime real estate, next to a plug point. But now, it seems as though the humble blender has had a new life breathed into it, courtesy of the internet's smoothie kick.
