There are blenders designed for making margaritas and the like - those
have sturdier blades, and IME, work the best. Throw a little milk or
cream in your smoothie and it makes all the difference in the world. I
also add protein powder...My next purchase is a juicer: beets,
pineapple, carrot, banana and oranges = heaven! Good and good for ya!
