Blend-tec or a Vita-Mix. End of story. If you were wondering in the Will-It-Blend the guy uses a Blend-tec. I have a Vita-Mix though. You can pretty much blend whatever you want, and it comes out much more smooth if you do it right.
 
Bled Tec - saw it in Costco at a demonstration there. The wife wanted one and thought she was crazy to spend $350 on a blender, but it's well worth the money. That thing will blend just about anything. Doesn't compare to any other blender I've ever seen. We use it all the time for everything.
 
I've tried all kinds of blenders, and I find that the simple Bullet is the best! It's so easy to clean and you can drink right out of the cup, so it's one thing less to clean! I use the blender a lot more just because it's easy to clean.
 
I swim/surf/lift big, so I make MONSTER smoothies beyond what those puny Magic Bullets can handle.

I couldn't be happier than with my Hamilton Beach 52277:

Edit: D'oh, Amazon has em unavailable. Maybe you can find em elsewhere...

You can go spend $350 on a Blender, but this thing has worked amazingly well and I've made probably 300 smoothies with it so far. 1/10 the price.
 
I have a Cuisinart that is pretty damn bullet proof. It was just under $100 so if you're not wanting to spend $250 or more it's a good alternative.

It will make margaritas and smoothies that are 100% smooth with no ice chunks.

It also works well for food for things like home made hummus, etc.
 
The thing with a $350 blender is you'll probably have it for about 20 years. Cheaper ones often burn out after a few years.

My folks subscribe to the whole "buy expensive household appliances infrequently" philosophy, and it seems to work out well for them.


And yeah home made hummus is da bomb. I'm getting through a tin of chickpeas a day making that stuff, it's like crack to me. It's totally replaced the junk I was eating in between meals though, so all good.
