I have cabinets over my fridge, and have difficulty reaching them. So even if I had the space there it wouldn't work.

I have a moveable island and I keep my Kitchen Aid Mixer in their because that takes up a huge amount of space for the actual amount of time I use it. But damn, that thing is heavy to pull out and lift up. It's a monster.

We have a Vita Mix and a Juicer. They are both awesome and really help make eating healthy a lot simpler. Two thumbs up for both.

I bought one of those Breville electric tea pots which wasn't cheap but it was something, I always wanted.

What a disaster though. Out-of-habit one day I absent-mindedly placed it on my electric burner, and forgot about it. I turned it into a giant charcoal briquet while flames surrounded it. And I only had it two weeks. Breville replaced it for me at a discount with free shipping which was nice of them. I've been afraid to use it ever since. In fact it's still in the shipping box.

I have a juicer too but it's a pain in the ass to use and clean. So I never use it. I should though. I don't even know where it is. I only bought it a year ago too.

3 year throat cancer guy and most meals are mixed in a blender. I have always had a Ninja with no fail. One time I was on vacation with a family with a Vitamix and I hated it. Difficult to clean and didnt mix my meals well at all. Just saying

I have a juicer, and it works quite well. But it too is a PitA to clean. But more importantly I realized that if I had fresh fruit and/or veg, I'd just as soon eat it and get the fiber, rather than juice it and throw all the fiber out.

Yeah, the cleaning part sucks, and the end product is spendy to make, but it's well worth it IMO. :thumb:

The juicer books tell you that you don't need all that fiber and you get a lot more of the good nutrition since it's a lot more veggies in a serving.

Just get a Nutrabullet.

Cheap, solid for smoothies. Probably juices decently too.

Adverts for products NEVER lie.

My girlfriend has some sort of blender, I'm not sure of the brand but I love it.

I'm a three-meals-a-day kind of guy through and through. I'm also not one to snack throughout the day so I've always found it difficult to eat my daily recommended servings of fruits and veggies. With the blender, I can get all of that in one 'meal' basically by drinking it. It's awesome.

I like to make my smoothies with some mixture of banana, apple, strawberry, blueberry, grapes, pineapple, mango, peanut butter and spinach.

We own a ninja. The wife uses it 3-4 times a week to make smoothies for us.

I use it it make margaritas or daiquiris when the mood strikes. It makes short work of ice. I highly recommend it.
