Kenwood BlendXtract Smoothie Maker SB056,Black

Product Information

Next, we tried a green smoothie using spinach, fruit, ice, yoghurt and juice. This produced a thinner consistency but some pieces of fruit skin were still visible despite the Sport 2Go being run on High for around 40 seconds and a few pulses. It was also frothier than the previous blend. However, in both, the ice cubes were completely crushed and most of the fibrous fruit was well blended. More for blitzing beginners than hardcore health fans, if up until now you’ve been reluctant to invest in a smoothie maker or compact blender, the Sport 2Go is an affordable way to find out how much use you’d get out of this type of appliance. Some of these mini models aced our tests, earning themselves a Best Buy seal of approval for their smooth blends. Others were more mediocre. Kenwood’s no newbie when it comes to the world of blenders and smoothie makers, its Smoothie 2Go launching a couple of years ago, but the Sport 2Go is the first aimed at those with an overtly active lifestyle.

We needed a new battery for our Dyson V8 cordless hoover. I have used espares in the past for other appliance spares and found them to be competitively priced and reliable so this was the first option I chose when searching. The bottles might be the ideal size for carrying around but their slender design means that any ingredients need to be cut down to size to fit through the opening. In this case, 2cm chunks, which was time-consuming. It comes with a pair of specially-shaped sports bottles, so you can either have one with you and one ready for next time, or use both if you’re out and about with a partner. They’re made from durable Tritan, a material that’s regularly used for sports drinking bottles, and come with rubber lid covers, so there’s no need to even take the top off to drink your smoothies or shakes.

Is this the smoothie attachment that attaches into the blade which then attaches into the machine base? By Hp - - 08 May 2017 What's the maximum run time?Sometimes cheaper blenders will have a shorter runtime - this can be 60 seconds or less - after which you'll need to rest the motor. Consider if you need longer than this - for homemade nut butters, mayo and dips, for example. We now record this in the 'tech specs' tab of every blender review.

We've just retested the classic Magimix Le Blender alongside newer big blenders such as the AEG Gourmet 7 Compact Jug Blender. This is ideal for bigger batches of smoothies, as well as making lots of soup, dip or puree at once. There are recommendations for some recipes as to which ingredients to add first for the smoothest blend, so it’s also not as easy as throwing everything in and blending. As this recipe included ice, we started on the Low setting to help mix the ingredients before turning up to High.

Blending settings The more speed settings a blender has, the more flexibility you'll get over what you can make. If you want to make a range of purees, look for one with a higher number of speed settings. Pre-set programs can help to take the guesswork out of common jobs such as whipping up a smoothie or dip.We decided to try a couple of combinations to put the Sport 2Go through its paces. There aren’t many recipes included but these do give examples of foods you can use to make smoothies. We started with a mixture of ice, fruit, yoghurt and honey. One of the pros of a big blender is just how much you can make in it, with some it's more than two litres in one go. If your unit has type BLM80 and the date code from 14x01 to 15x22, where “x” is a letter (e.g.14S52), it may be affected. Please proceed to the following point. The design of the silver base isn’t dissimilar from the Smoothie 2Go but much like the Sport 2Go’s elegantly tapered bottles, it’s sleeker and neater. Compact enough to store in even a tiny kitchen, it’s light at 3kg, with a long power cord and non-slip feet.
