Slowly shrinking again!
Hello all!
So... the inevitable happened! My current blender just wasn't up for the job of crushing ice 3 times a day for my ice-shakes! :sigh:
So gotta buy a new one! To be honest, it wasn't really meant for that anyway, so it was only a matter of time... and today, it went 'puff', smelt kinda funny, and then keeled over...
So... I was wondering if anyone could suggest a machine, under £50 (hopefully!), that was man enough for the job?!
I know there are a few Kenwood Smoothie Makers which say they crush ice with a pulse setting... Anyone have experience of them? What I was doing was filling the jug on my blender with ice, up to the 800ml line, then adding some water, few crushed sweeteners, and my pack... and then just blend for 5 mins... made it like ice-cream, albeit in a very noisy, unhappy way!! Lol...
Not sure if I could use the 'crush ice' setting on these smoothie makers in the same way though...
So, yeah... any suggestions, lovely laydees?
TIA xx
