Our Beast Blender Overview & Why It is Well worth the Hype

Soups, smoothies, purees, milkshakes—there isn’t a lot a strong blender can’t do. However even in the event you attain for yours every day, there is no denying that investing in a brand new blender will be expensive. Therefore why many people (hello, it is me) have nonetheless been utilizing the outdated college-era NutriBullet up till…lately.

When stated “ole trustworthy” inevitably begins to put on down with age and you end up in pressing want of a substitute, allow us to flip you on to essentially the most compact and dependable blender we’ve met but, the Beast Blender. Certainly, because the title implies, this ultra-efficient blender is nothing wanting a kitchen beast. Do not let the small dimension idiot you, as a result of it actually does all of it.

Forward, I break down the professionals and cons (there are only a few) of this mannequin and why it’s develop into my absolute go-to for on a regular basis mixing duties, particularly when smaller-batch mixing initiatives are on the menu.

What occurred once I took the Beast Blender for a spin

First issues first, I’ll come proper out and say it: I really like my new Vitamix Propel Series blender. That stated, the cumbersome piece of equipment tends to occupy waaay extra room than I’d like on my already-scant countertop area (main thumbs down). And may’t all of us agree pulling out the large ol’ blender when making a refreshing strawberry smoothie for a celebration of 1 can really feel a bit…a lot?

This brings me to my subsequent reality—which is that for my no-fuss, pre-caffeine morning smoothies, the Beast Blender is what I inevitably attain for. This got here as a significant shock (consider me once I say that I, too, have seen the blender throughout each aesthetic vid on BlenderTok). However after testing the blender for almost two months straight, I can hands-down say it’s most undoubtedly price each penny.

The small print

I obtained my fingers on the Beast Blender Plus + Hydration System, which usually retails for $195 however is presently on sale for $165. (Run, don’t stroll!) It is available in three impartial coloration choices: Cloud White, Carbon Black, and Pebble Gray. I opted for the Cloud White, which has a barely off-white hue and main aesthetic vibes. In fact, the ultra-sleek look is without doubt one of the major promoting factors of this equipment, IMO. (She cute.)

But it surely’s not all magnificence—the Beast’s filled with a strong 1000-watt motor that’s housed within the easy, cylindrical, and not-bulky-whatsoever base of the blender. And, like I stated, it actually has a thoughts of its personal. The Beast Blender screens its blade velocity and makes fixed changes to take care of constant velocity and torque. It additionally gauges the inner temperature to keep away from overheating when mixing sizzling liquids.

Transferring up: The precise mixing vessel can double as a to-go cup. (The Beast Blender Plus truly comes with two, a small and enormous possibility.) And except for the bottom, blender, and mixing vessels, you’ll additionally discover a storage lid, consuming lid, and their signature Beast Hydration System that’s a 750-milliliter glass vessel with an infusion chamber, its personal consuming lid, and carry cap. Staying on top of our hydration game simply obtained all of the extra engaging.

The check run

There are two issues I search for in a blender: energy and practicality. And the Beast Blender has ‘em each. As I discussed, I’ve been working with the blender for 2 months straight at this level, so it’s protected to say that I’ve develop into very well-acquainted with what it might and may’t do.

My preliminary trial runs had been reasonably elementary (when it comes to blender duties). First, I made a protein-rich blueberry smoothie, which was completely blended with the contact of a button. Smoothie check, examine. Then, I made a Greek-style avgolemono soup, which known as for the mixing of some sizzling inventory, rice, lemon juice, and an egg yolk to assist thicken the soup, which didn’t overheat or trigger any leaks. Soup check, examine.

At this level, I felt assured sufficient to maneuver on to section two: Mixing heavy-duty elements to check the true energy of this equipment. That is the place Brazilian lemonade comes into play. To make this recipe, you have to mix entire lime wedges, which isn’t a simple feat for some blenders. And, you guessed it, it labored completely. Thoughts-blowingly properly, for that matter.

Now, let’s transfer on to the practicality side. A part of what makes the Beast Blender so modern (and minimalist) is that it has just one button. *Cue sigh of aid.*

On the contact of the button, the Beast Blender initiates a one-minute mix program with computerized intervals to attain optimum mixing. Alternatively, you may press and maintain for lower than one second at a time to pulse elements collectively. I discovered that each choices labored properly, typically talking. Nonetheless, in the event you’re in search of extra management, then the one-button possibility would possibly really feel a bit limiting in some circumstances.

All in all, I do discover myself continually reaching for this blender… all of the time. Need to make home made pesto? Use the Beast Blender. How a few refreshing espresso frappuccino? Yup, the Beast Blender is your BFF. Don’t consider me?
