Stand mixer
A blender is an electronic appliance consisting of a stand with a motor and a blender jug with a lid. Foods such as soups or smoothies can be prepared at the touch of a button using various speed settings. However, not all blenders are the same. The appliances differ in terms of performance, appearance, size and price. The more powerful a blender is, the creamier, finer and faster a dish will turn out. The various models also differ in terms of the materials used. You can get blenders with blender jugs made of glass or plastic. The blender jug sizes can vary between 450 ml and two litres depending on the blender model.
High-performance blender
In contrast to a normal blender, a high-performance blender has a much more powerful motor and a higher speed. With a high-performance blender, you can not only prepare super creamy green smoothies, but also banana ice cream, nut butters, nut milks, soups, sauces and raw food tarts. Preparing these and other
raw food dishes requires power that a simple stand mixer cannot provide.
With the help of a high-performance blender, fibres can be broken up during chopping and pureeing, making nutrients available. This opens the cell walls of green leaves and releases valuable ingredients for your green smoothie.
Smoothie maker
A smoothie maker, also known as a personal blender, is a smaller version of a blender. This type of blender is an inexpensive, lightweight and compact kitchen appliance that can be used as a blender for a healthy breakfast, a smoothie to-go or as a milk shaker. The smoothie maker is sufficient for blending small quantities of easy-to-blend ingredients such as fruit and soft green leaves. Sauces made from soaked nuts can also be easily prepared with the blender. Thanks to the smaller blender jug, it is ideal for single households, lunch breaks at work or when travelling.
The Personal Blender may not be powerful enough to blend super creamy, fibre-free smoothies, but it does have a few other advantages. It can process even
the smallest quantities of ingredients thanks to its practical
blender jug. You can use it to make delicious salad dressings or vegan mayonnaise from soaked cashews quickly and without a lot of washing up. A smoothie maker also has a practical
sealable blender jug that you can easily take with you when travelling. This saves you the hassle of decanting and allows you to take the smoothie with you straight away or use it as a drink. put the sauce straight into the fridge.
Many of our customers use the personal blender to complement the Vitamix, as both blenders have their great advantages in and out of the kitchen.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good blender?
In the range of Keimling Naturkost you will only find high-quality blenders. Which blender is right for you depends on the dishes you want to prepare. If you only want to blend smoothies, a simple smoothie maker will suffice. If you also want to make nut purees and vegetable juices, you should opt for a high-performance blender such as the
Vitamix Super Pro.
How many watts should a blender have?
Blenders and smoothie makers usually have between 200 and 800 watts. This is completely sufficient for chopping fruit and vegetables. A high-performance blender should have more than 1000 watts. After all, you also want to use the blender to crush ice or grind nuts and turn them into puree. The high-performance blenders in our range start at 1200 watts, but we also offer blenders with 1850 watts for optimum blending pleasure.
Which blender is suitable for frozen fruit?
Frozen fruit is a challenge for any blender. The motor of the appliance can easily overheat and cause a defect. If you want to process frozen food with your blender, you should opt for a blender that has at least 100 watts and several speed settings. Having 4 blades ensures that the blades do not get stuck and overheat. In the Keimling Naturkost range you will find a large selection of suitable blenders.
