As the kids are getting older they are becoming more adventurous with the foods they will try, partly because of persuasion from us, but also because they are learning about the science of eating healthily at school.
I am taking part in the Beko #EatLikeAPro campaign – a global initiative to encourage families to eat healthier.
We have already been playing with their food styling page, to make food look for fun when it is served up, but now they have sent me their brand new Vacuum Blender, along with a range of quick and easy recipes that can be made with it.
I am new to making smoothies, but for experienced smoothy makers and juicers, the nifty vacuum blending technology removes air from the jar before blending to retain the vitamins, colour and taste of your ingredients for longer. This means that you can enjoy fresh-tasting, healthy smoothies the day after you prepare them, helping your family Eat Like A Pro.
Other features of the Vacuum Blender is the large-capacity jug, which is perfect for creating smoothies for the whole family.
The great thing about the blender is that it is ready to use, straight from the box – after a quick wash of course.
It was easy to use too. Thanks to its 1000w motor, variable speed settings and stainless steel blades, it made light work of everything I put in it, including ice cubes.
The vacuum blender comes with four blending programmes to suit your needs; smoothie, ice, sauce and auto-clean, plus anpulse function to give a smoothie a quick burst of power.
For each programme, you can choose between vacuum blending or normal blending. And, for even more flexibility, you can pick between a selection of speed settings too.
I love the easy-to-use Auto-clean setting. Simply pour water into the jug, and the blender uses a powerful pulse movement to clean high up the sides and into every corner.
The recipes are perfect for both experienced smoothy makers and novices like me. The Berry Blast Smoothie is definitely the kids favourite so far, with the coconut and banana cocoa milkshake a very close second.
The Beko Vacuum Blender has an RRP of £199.99 and is available from AO.com.
Disclosure: I received a Beko Vacuum Blender to review and keep, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I’ve not got into making smoothies, but if I had a blender I would definitely give them a go. My girls would love them I know that for sure!
I love smoothies and always have them in a morning. I just wish I could get Lillie and Ollie to try them too, Albie is like me and loves to try new ones. This looks brilliant, I especially like the idea that it is retaining the nutrients.
Smoothies area a GREAT way to “hide” healthy ingredients and get kids to eat better!!
What a cool blender. I have a similar one here for making smoothies.
Love smoothies or juices. Especially when I’ve made them from scratch, they are good to just fill up that empty space in the tummy too. Great way to get kids to have vitamins and veg lol
Really glad to have seen this it is hard to find a good blender that deals with ice cubes
Looks like a great blender based on your review! We love smoothies in our home.
It sounds like a great blender! I am actually looking to buy a new one as my old one died. I am looking for a powerful one that can crush ice so I would consider this for my list.
This looks so good – I would love one to tempt my children to try healthy smoothies. Kaz
This looks like a great line of kitchen product. Perfect since I am actually looking for a new blender that I can use at home. I ahve to look into this.
this looks like a great blender! i need a better one for ice cubes and chunks of fruit so this is kinda perfect!
I’ll need to get this once my current blender does. It looks awesome
My ninja is dying. This may be my next purchase. Thanks so much for sharing.
The Beko looks a neat size! We’d love it to make soups and smoothies and would be perfect for Autumn Cinnamon and apple inspired drinks!
That looks like a great blender. We make a lot of smoothies – mostly for the kids as they love them – and our blender is getting a little old and tired so we’re looking to get a new one soon.
We love making smoothies so we are always in the market for a good blender. Never heard of a vacuum blender before though.
This looks like a really good blender. If i were going to get one I would try this
This is an absolutely brilliant kitchen gadget and I love smothies so something perfect for me!
What an impressive blender, I do like the eat like a pro campaign, definitely something I can get on board with.
It certainly sounds like a win! I’ve tried smoothie makers before but never found one that doesn’t leave bits but this one with the powerful motor sounds heaven
Very impressive tool for the kitchen, I love that it sucks the air out allowing the food to retain its vitamins.
HI ABIGAIL KATHLEEN i,m new to this beko blender please could you kindly explain how i get the stainless steel crushers out of bottom of this blender to throughly clean wash ??
The fact that this has an auto clean is reason enough to buy this. I used to make gonna of smoothies, but it’s not as easy to clean up with two toddlers running around. This would be great!
I absolutely LOVE a good smoothie, its a great pick me up in the morning and this blender sounds like the ideal bit of kit! xxx
Thank you for the detailed review! I checked specifications of this blender by your link, and I must say, this model deserves to be looked at! I think that market’s leaders should start using Vacuum technology in their models, otherwise they risk losing a fair share of the market.
Design is so impressive specially it’s blackish colour. Another speciality is the large capacity of jug. That attract us very nice.
