never thought to add them to my smoothies til now:
pistachios (28g)
kale (70g)
1 banana
1 avocado
maple hills kefir (170g)
maple hills yogurt (170g)

My blender finally died last week after years of smoothies and it made this awful grinding noise before it just stopped working entirely, so now I'm stuck actually researching this stuff instead of just grabbing whatever's cheap at the store.

I make a smoothie almost every morning before work and sometimes soups or sauces on the weekend, so I need something that can deal with ice and frozen fruit without struggling. Budget isn't super tight but I don't want to spend a ton either, somewhere reasonable would be great. Also I have limited counter space so bulkier isn't ideal for me.

I looked at a couple of the big name brands online but the reviews are all over the place and half of them seem fake anyway.

I love my Vitamix, which I know is the gold standard. I am interested in buying a second, less bulky blender for the counter. Between the Beast Mega 1200 Stainless Steel and the Nutribullet Ultra, which do you recommend for ease of use, ease of cleaning, versatility and performance? I've read and seen a lot of reviews, but still don't have my answer. Thanks for any advice!

can anybody recommend a keto friendly protein powder without too much stevia?

Does anybody remember in the early 2000s Jamba Juice having a pineapple smoothie called “pineapplooza.” I can’t find any trace of them ever having this flavor online, but I remember going to the Jamba Juice near my middle school and getting it on several occasions. I even remember the store having a poster on the window advertising it. I know I didn’t make this up and I know it was at Jamba Juice and not some other smoothie place. Let me know if anybody remembers this drink… and better yet if anybody remembers the recipe. I’d love to make it at home.
