Whether you’re a kitchen pro or an amateur home chef, having a quality blender can make your meal-prep routine way easier. And the very best blenders can make a slew of purees and blends, from green smoothies to green pestos, with ease and minimal cleanup—and if you buy the right one, it can last for years. But how do you know which kitchen gadget is right for you?
Before purchasing a blender, assess how often you’ll use it, how much space you have to store it, and what kind of projects you’ll be using it for. Blenders can be a great meal prep essential but you might only be using it occasionally and in that case will not want to shell out for a large blender. Generally, you need to consider what price point you’re going for too. Top-of-the-line blenders like Vitamix blenders are investment gadgets that you’ll have for years, but there are still cost-effective, quality mixers that you can buy for under $100.
