What’s the difference between a smoothie and a shake?

A smoothie has a shake-like consistency. It is a thick blended beverage made from pureed fruits, vegetables and liquids. The base of a smoothie usually starts with yoghurt, milk or juice, but some can be made of all fruits. The base of a milkshake is dairy, usually ice cream or milk. Flavor is added from syrups, raw fruits, but some milkshakes get their flavor solely from flavored ice cream.For anyone who appreciates the benefits of juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, blending their own yoghurt drinks, or making fresh and healthy cocktails.

Question 14

Will a hand blender suit my needs?

Accepted Answer

Hand blenders are very versatile tools - they are easy to use and easy to store. The main attachment is for blending small amounts, but many come with a whisk attachment for whisking light creams and making mayonnaise. They are designed to be used for quick tasks. Some hand blenders in our range come with a mini chopper, which offer you the ability to chop without liquidising, for example for salsa and dips. Some models also include a masher attachment for deliciously smooth mashed potatoes - other cooked vegetables can be mashed as well. The Soup XL pan blender, where supplied, can be used directly in the pan after the cooking process, although extra care should always be taken when working with hot ingredients.
