Best Blenders for Making Smoothies
Before you start using these smoothie recipes star with your blender. You can make smoothies using just about any blender, but having a really great blender can definitely make a difference in your smoothie consistency. We love a good Vitamix, like this one. Or Ninja Blender like this one is a budget friendly option.
By choosing a higher end blender you can achieve smoother smoothies, but we have a few other tips to make sure your smoothies at home are as top notch as a smoothie shop. Click the blenders below to shop more of our favorites.

We’ve been making smoothies for quite a long time and here are some of our very best tips for how to blend up something delicious!
Tips for making the best smoothies
- Try using frozen, fresh, or a combination of both to create the right consistency. If using fresh ingredients you might want to add in some ice and if using all frozen add some juice, almond milk, or water to help thin.
- Consider adding in protein powder, PB2 powder, or other health boosters.
- Sneak in vegetables. Kale, spinach, and other greens are easy to add in. I’ve even added frozen cauliflower rice which is hard to taste when mixed with other ingredients.
- Freeze ingredients in individual smoothie packs for a quick and easy toss in the blender.
- Consider your ingredient order. When using leafy greens it is best to blend these first with a liquid base and then add frozen ingredients.
- Consider adding a flavor boost with cocoa powder, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, or unsweetened matcha powder.
- When adding in chia or flax seeds grind the seeds for a better consistency.
