Juicers You might be wondering what the difference is between ahigh-speed blender, such as a Ninja Blender, and a juicer. The main differenceis that a juicer separates the juice from the fiber while a blender blends allof the ingredients together. This means that fruits and vegetables blended in ablender retain the pulp and fiber. A blender contains blades that are normally placed in thebase of the unit. These blades cut, pulverize, and blend whatever foods you putinto the blender. It does not separate out the juice from the pulp, seeds, andskin as a juicer does. Therefore, a blender will producer thicker drinks andsmoothies than a juicer does. Blenders contain powerful motors that are alsocapable of crushing ice. Which type of appliance you choose depends on what youintend to use it for. Blenders are perfect for making things like smoothies,soups, and sauces. A juicer is great for making your own juices such as orange,carrot, or tomato juice. Tips for Using Your Ninja Blender To get the most from your Ninja Blender, there are a fewsimple tips to follow. Layering properly is key. The order in which youplace your ingredients into the blender is important so dont just throw themin there haphazardly. Start with liquids first, followed by light or smallingredients, and top with the largest and heaviest ingredients. Add ice cubes last. Use whole cubes, not crushed, andput them on top of other ingredients. Use enough liquid. If you find that your blender isgetting clogged and things are not blending properly, adding a little water orother liquid can help lift the ingredients off the blades and ensure an evenblend. Start off slow. For most recipes, start at a slowspeed for a few seconds and then turn it to high. | Next page
