When I have an appliance that I absolutely MUST use on a daily basis (coffee maker... hair dryer....) I buy one cheaply at a garage sale or Goodwill to stash away. Even if it is an inferior brand, it's good enough to use until I can get a replacement for the good one. I imagine apples would be tough on a blender. You'd have to chop them up into such minute pieces that you'd end up doing most of the blender's work.
i figured i would get a new, better blending machine and then store this one as my backup, lol, as long as it doesn't give up the ghost before that.
and i don't chop the apples up that small. what i've discovered is if one does the greens first, so there is more liquid, then the blender can handle the chunky things better. and then i just pulse briefly at first until it gets chopped up a bit more. after that, it can handle it pretty well, or so i imagine.
That rather does sound good. I like the ginger aspect, but then I am always very fond of ginger. And a good blender can make on the difference in these kinds of things, can they not? The problem I've found is that even the top-of-the-line blenders eventually seem to lose it if you use them nearly every day. Have you found that, too?
i love ginger very much. it is good in just about every kind of smoothie.
and i wouldn't know, lol, i've never had a top-of-the-line blender. however, that is pretty much what america's test kitchen said, lol. they liked something called the breville hemisphere blender besides the vitamix. it's $250 vs. $450. other than that, nothing really withstood their testing. the vitamix is of course the best. and they've been using them every day for smoothies, lol.
