Green smoothie blender

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
OK, so I've been really digging the green smoothie thing lately (as in, very lately, like the past week!). Anyway, I've been doing young spinach + fruit, until today, when I tried kale. The kale just didn't puree (is that the word) as well as the spinach.

I'm just using a regular blender (a Krups model 239, which I learned has a blade that was recalled in 1994 ). If I look into buying a new blender, is there one that I can get that will do a decent job without spending the amount of money I'd need to spend for a Vitamix or something similar?

I think VitaMix blenders are vastly overprice and overrated.

My mom has one that I use at her house all.the.time.

I have a KitchenAid blender that works just as well, if not better with some things.

I've pureed raw carrots in my KitchenAid with very, very little extra liquid added. That's how well it works.

Which model do you have? I'm a blender idiot, so I don't even know what to look for!
