I was give the opportunity to take the Black + Decker Performance FusionBlade Blender for a spin.   A blender is actually one of the most handy kitchen appliances you can own, especially in our house.  Our blender gets used a ton at our house, especially  during the summer months when we are making smoothies nearly every day.

You can make your kitchen more versatile than ever with the Black + Decker Performance FusionBlade Digital Blending System, because it does so much more than just make smoothies.  You can make Soups, nut butters, homemade flours, iced drinks, and more!

Besides the standard blender jar you will also receive  a 20-oz. Personal Blender Jar (BPA-free) which comes with a removable blade base and a travel lid for taking a shake or smoothie on the go.

The first thing I noticed about the blender was that it looked nice.  It was sleek and has a digital control panel that I knew it would be easy to wipe clean.  I am messy in the kitchen, so appliances you can clean easily our a huge plus in my book.   I also love that the blender jar is one piece. You don’t have to take it apart to get it clean.

Since smoothies are what we make most often with our blender I decided to try out the smoothie making skills of the Black + Decker Performance FusionBlade Blender.  I have a very simple smoothie recipe that works for almost any type of smoothie you want.  You can switch it up by using different types of fruits, juices or yogurt, but here is the basic recipe:

Basic Fool-Proof Smoothie Recipe

• 1 cup juice
• 2 cups frozen fruit
• 1 container yogurt

I chose to make a triple berry smoothie by using raspberry juice, frozen berries and vanilla yogurt.

The blender comes with a guide so you know exactly what order to add your ingredients into the jar.   I love this!

You will also find a guide with pre-programmed buttons for easy blending.  Since I was making a smoothie I use the preset button #5.

This blender contains a powerful 1100-watt motor and has a blade design to produce a vortex that blends food in no time.   I was totally impressed with the vortex that was created.   My smoothie was blended with speed and force.  You can see in the photo how powerful it is because the ingredients are being pushed up towards the top of the blender.   There is nothing more annoying than ingredients that get stuck and the bottom of your blender and nothing happens to them.   There was a lot of mixing going on with this blender.  I’m seriously impressed!

The consistency of the smoothie was PERFECT!  There were no chunks of berries everything was all blended nice and smooth.   Plus, it tasted amazing!

I mentioned the all-in-one jar design previously, but one of the great things about clean up with this type of a jar is that it is a breeze.   Rinsing it out is quick and easy.

Clean up gets even easier because  all the removable parts (like the lid) are completely dishwasher-safe.

I also found the recipe book that was included to be very handy too.   I am looking forward to giving the following recipes a try:

• Rice Flour (Gluten-Free)
• Creamy Cashew Butter
• Fresh Tomato Fusion Salsa

If you are in the market for a blender I can highly recommend the Black + Decker Performance FusionBlade Blender.
