About this deal
You want to make dips and ice creams: The included recipe booklet contains plenty of ideas for making snacks aside from smoothies – from sweet ‘Vanilla Nut Frozen Treat’ ice cream to Tabouleh and hummus dips. Create smoothies and milkshakes using your favourite fresh and frozen ingredients or blend crushed-ice cocktails ready for those hot summer days. We cook up a classic vegetable soup of carrot and coriander, wait for it to cool, and then blend it until smooth.

Some really struggle with this task, while others succeed - it really does help to distinguish the brilliant from the bad blenders. Oats and seeds in a smoothie or sprinkled on top not only add texture but help you feel fuller for longer. Be warned though, don't try to blend hot ingredients in your blender, the heat can cause pressure to build up, potentially harming not only the blender, but also you.For a lot of jobs, I preferred to use the Auto-iQ programmes, which allowed me to walk away from the machine while it was blending. We like the way it works out the right amount of time and speed for your recipe – this never failed – and that you have options like “crush” and “powermix” for tougher ingredients (such as those ice cubes). The results weren’t particularly impressive, with the chips either flying into the air or sticking to the bottom.

The latter includes ‘Blend’, which runs for 50 seconds and is good for drinks with fresh or frozen fruit, liquids and ice; and a 60-second Max Blend setting, for tough ingredients such as skins, seeds and stems. In the US, it's bundled with three to-go cups ranging in size from 530 ml / 18 fl oz to 950 ml / 32 fl oz - it’s certainly a contender for one of the best blenders we’ve tested.You can either choose from manual start/stop settings and a pulse feature, or opt for Ninja’s Auto-IQ programs that limit the guesswork of preparing items. Forget about having to scrape down the sides or manually mix your concoctions up, because the Ninja blender has a clever “pull-down” mechanism, and will choose to pulse the mix instead of going full throttle.
