Cleanblend Blenders make it easy to concoct your favorite smoothies—but you’ll have to get to know your machine first to get the optimal results. To achieve that perfect smoothie without chewy chunks and grainy lumps, you’ll want to note these useful tips and tricks before you get to blending.
Contrary to popular belief, there is a right way to load your blender! You’ll always want to start with liquids to prevent air pockets from building up around the machine blades. You can then toss in your dry goods, such as grains, powders, or seasonings, then follow this up with leafy greens, fruits and other veggies, and finish off with ice or frozen ingredients.
Depending on what you’re hoping to accomplish with your Cleanblender, you can either use a wet or dry container. Wet containers work by sucking ingredients such as soups or fruits down into your blender’s blades to create a smooth and whipped consistency. Dry containers work the opposite way, blending ingredients such as coffee beans out and away from the blades. Use dry containers when mixing flours or milling grains.
Despite playing a critical role in achieving high-quality recipes, the Cleanblend tamper is often neglected. Especially when it comes to blending thicker ingredients, the tamper can help execute an accelerated blending process and allow ingredients to circulate, thus avoiding those dreaded air pockets. Remember to always keep your Cleanblend’s lid on when using the tamper to avoid coming into contact with the blades.
Rather than cutting a recipe in half or overfilling your smoothie blender, pick out a container size that best suits your needs. Cleanblend comes in 32oz containers for personal use, going up to larger sizes of 1.2L for the entire family. Remember that each container requires a minimum amount of ingredients to ensure that your mix doesn’t just sputter around the bottom. Similarly, adding too many hot ingredients can cause your blender to blow its lid off! Always keep a dish towel over the lid when blending hot ingredients, as you can never be too careful.
If you’re taking your smoothie to go, you’re better off cranking up your Cleanblend machine to high speed to get the fastest and smoothest blend. The power and noise can be intimidating, but blending too long at a lower speed actually tends to overheat your motor. Always begin mixing at the lowest setting, then quickly but gradually increase your speed to the highest setting.
Keeping your Cleanblend spotless is as easy as pie (or in this case, a smoothie).
Simple, right? If you’re seeing more stains and blots than you’d like, you may be better off purchasing a separate dry container to mix coarse ingredients such as sugars, grains, or nuts.
There’s a reason that Cleanblend is the best smoothie blender out there. Not only is it a high-performing machine that is easy to use, but it’s also BPA-free and is manufactured with high-quality stainless steel blades all for a more affordable price tag.
