  1. Pretty much any fruit or veggie that can be blended can make for
    a great lunch or afternoon snack. More Power – If you want to
    be able to crush ice for mixed drinks or do any other of a number of items that you may
    ask a blender to do then you are going to need power. Once you get used to it,
    it will not be easy to set it down and use another blender.
