So my very first post of this blog will start off with a bit of a rant. So if you don’t really want to read the lexicon of feelings I am about to share with the world then please skip over the next paragraph

Smoothies, like so many things in life that become a popular are often far to hyped up to have any real meaning for most people. Smoothies and Juicing are huge buzzwords right now in the health industry. Everyone is talking about why should juice this and make a smoothie with that. Honestly there is just so much crap out there that it is damn near impossible to find any good information. If you spend a few minutes googling smoothies you will find your self some where deep into acai berry weight loss spam land. So I decided to try to clear the air a little but like our buddies over at Cleanse Your Body Fast Guide (which sadly I think they/he/she stopped writing) and just give it to you straight.

There are many reasons people make smoothies including

• Increase daily calorie intake (yes some people want more calories in their diet)
• Post workout recovery shake
• Save time in the morning (drink a complete breakfast on your way to work)
• To get drunk in a fancy manor
• Meal Replacement for weight loss and weight gain
• Making smoothies as a dietary supplement
• Because they taste so damn good! (the most important reason)

I love smoothies, I currently make a smoothie almost every morning before work (okay so that is a lie, maybe almost every other morning is more accurate). It is an awesome way to start your day if you make the smoothie right, I feel more energetic than when I just drink coffee, and depending on what I put in it I often don’t get hungry until lunch time. I used to drink smoothies before work outs as well, but I would often get stomach ache or cramps during my work out from the dairy or supplements I would put in there.

What ever you reason is for making smoothies, I hope you can use this site help you find good recipes and information about the various blenders they have out there. Hopefully I will be able to use this site to try out all the different smoothie makers and blenders and let you know which ones will work for you and your needs.
