The Top THREE

Fruit and veg blenders

ON A BUDGET Blendjet 2, £39.95

Cordless with stainless-steel blades that are slightly off-centre, which the maker says creates a ‘tornado effect’ to whizz up ingredients 275 times per second. A single charge can power through 15 blends. Not bad for one of the cheapest on the market. blendjet.com

MID-RANGE Salter Nutri Pro 1000, £52.99

Comes with two blending cups – one holding 800ml and one 1 litre. It also has a 1,000w motor, which is more powerful than some pricier models and copes well with tough textures such as apple skin. On the downside, it is a bit noisier than more expensive blenders. salterhousewares.co.uk

BREAK THE BANK Nutribullet 900, £90

Often considered the kings of blenders, this model is approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute.

Its powerful 900w motor means the blades can easily chop through fibrous vegetables, nuts and even ice to create a smooth drink. argos.co.uk
