Enjoy a great smoothie maker

Always in a rush? Run out of energy? Want to improve your diet? A great smoothie blender is a fast-track to a healthier daily diet.

You can pack in fruit, vegetables, nuts, grains and pulses and create something delicious in seconds. By choosing one that's both powerful and highly efficient, you'll be in control. You can achieve the perfect consistency you're looking for. Break down even flax seeds or pips to a creamy mixture, or leave some bits in there if you like lumps of fruit. The choice is yours.

From green to grains

When you think of smoothies, the most obvious ingredients are things like bananas and strawberries. As you get more confident, you can be more adventurous. Our Diamond Blender is powerful enough to process leafy greens like kale and mint, as well as nuts, seeds and even frozen fruits.

How to layer your smoothie

It's not just a matter of throwing in all the ingredients. The way they're layered has an impact on the final taste and texture.

Here's how to fill your jar:
1) liquids
2) sweeteners (if any)
3) leafy greens
4) soft ingredients
5) fruit and veg, nuts, seeds and grains
6) frozen ingredients and ice cubes

Drink the rainbow with
a smoothie blender

You've heard of eating the rainbow? Well, now you can drink it. Vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants ... here's how to get them:

Choose lots of colours

Your smoothie maker is the perfect opportunity to feast on all those seasonal fruits and vegetables the easy way. So choose options beyond your usual favourites and savour the adventure.

Yellow & orange

These fruits and veggies pack a powerful nutritional punch. They're rich in beta carotene, vitamin A and vitamin C, the powerful antioxidants that neutralise the free radicals roaming around inside our bodies, destroying cells.

Green

Greens are rich in phytonutrients that improve our health and are full of fibre. They have alkalising effects on the and promote healthy blood pressure. Leafy greens are high in protein, iron and calcium and cruciferous veggies help the liver to detoxify.

White

Cauliflower is a little exception among white fruit and vegetables. It has many of the nutrients of other cruciferous vegetables like kale, cabbage, bok choy and brocoli.

Blue & purple

Gorgeous dark-coloured foods like purple cabbage, blackberries or eggplants are loaded with healing antioxidants for glowing skin.

Red

Red foods are a good source of folate, which is brilliant for our heart health. Red fruits like strawberries, give us vitamin C too. Red grapes, specifically, have a magic antioxidant which is anti-inflammatory.

Which milk is best for smoothies?

You don't have to add milk to smoothies, but it gives creamier results than juice or water. Cow's milk is popular and full of quality protein, vitamins and minerals.

But, cow's milk isn't a good option for everyone. You can pick up all sorts of non-dairy alternatives and plant-based milks which give you protein, vitamins and enhance that silky texture. Of course, if you have a blender at home, you can make your own! Try any of these: almond milk, rice milk, coconut milk or coconut water, oat milk.

Whiz up a juice in a blender

As well as smoothies, you can make fresh juice in your blender. It’s ideal for squeezing in lots of vitamin C and other nutrients into your day, and giving your body a cleanse and boost.

Add your favourite juicy fruits - like oranges, mangos, green apples or limes - to the blender with a little water. You’ll get lots of fibre (pulp) in the mix, so if that’s not to your taste, then simply strain it through a cheesecloth or similar before serving. You’ll feel glowing.
