Best Post-Gym Smoothie Makers
There’s nothing quite like a completely natural, bursting with goodness fruit and vegetable smoothie to get energy levels back up after a rigorous gym-workout. The range of smoothie makers now available make choosing between them quite a minefield.
How to Choose the Right Smoothie Maker
However, in the case of post-gym smoothie makers, we have narrowed down the choices in order to meet these three important must-have criteria.
A) Quick and efficient
A post-gym smoothie maker needs to be quick and efficient, whether you’re on the way back to the office post-gym, or simply heading off to your next appointment, a post-gym smoothie maker needs to be able to process anything thrown at it, quickly and efficiently, minimising the time needed to set it up and trouble shoot.
B) Processes large pieces of fruit or whole fruit, frozen
A major part of this efficiency requirement, comes from the ability to process large or even whole pieces of fruit. This reduces the need to cut fruit up in to smaller pieces, thereby saving both time and washing up. The ability to process fruit while frozen is an added bonus, as frozen fruit yields gorgeously cold smoothies, not to mention the convenience of buying and storing pre-packed frozen fruit in your freezer.
C) Easy to use and clean
Perhaps most important of all for a post-gym smoothie maker is the ability to be used and cleaned easily, whether it is as simply pop-on and blend followed by a rinse out, or a quick swirl around with soapy water, the time savings from being able to use and clean out a smoothie maker quickly is high on the list of post-gym requirements.
