Even though we had a Blentec Blender I’m not a fan of keeping something that large on the counter. With it out of sight and out of mind, we maybe made a smoothie or two a week. So for my birthday I asked for the Beast Blender and I can’t believe how powerful, easy and portable the whole system is. I was a little worried the novelty would wear off but I’m happy to report the whole family is still using it every day! It’s incredibly easy to clean and fun for the kids to use too. Pop the drink lid on the jar, and off you go.
