A durable, high-powered blender is well worth the investment. I make many of my smoothies, dressings, soups, and desserts with a blender. Since I use whole-food ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, it is important that the machine have enough power and speed to efficiently process these ingredients to the desired smooth consistency.
