How to Use Hand Blenders to Make Healthy Smoothies

The hand blender is probably the handiest kitchen tool/appliance. It is also known as an immersion blender or stick blender which can make endless Smoothies, Sauces, Chutneys, shakes,  juices, and much more. Nowadays smoothies are a trendy, delicious food item. Smoothie is not only delicious food, but it also has many benefits to our body, which we will discuss step by step. You can quickly make your smoothies at home within a few seconds! Most blenders can make smoothies, but I prefer to use the best personal hand blender.  

Modern hand blenders are much more than a stick; their attachments make it work like multiple appliances in one. They are not just another kitchen appliance but your companion to live a better life.  I prefer the hand blender because it is easy to clean, easy to store, takes less space, is easy to operate, it is portable. You can easily use them in the cooking container.  While purchasing check the motor speed (select higher motor speed or as you require) and warranty of the product.

Best easy way to make smoothies

When you want to make a smoothie, at first collect all the ingredients you need. Take a big glass or jar, and put ingredients in it. For the best result, the glass/jar should not be full more than two-thirds of its size. Insert the blender and make sure that the protective guard is submerged. Now hold the blender at the right angle into the glass/jar. If your hand blender has more than one power setting, then start with the lowest speed. Slowly up and down the blender until the ingredients are combined. Blend until the smoothie is smooth and reaches the consistency level you like. Check the thickness, if you think it is too thick then add some juice or crushed ice and blend again. If it is too thin, then add half a banana or yogurt and blend it again. Now your desired yummy smoothie is ready to drink! You can add your imagination and can experiment with a different combination of ingredients for a new one.
