Blend and foam fruit into healthy smoothies that are
available on tap with the Kenwood SB206 Smoothie Maker.
Smoothies are the milkshakes of the new millennium and
as well as being very tasty, they can be healthy too.
The Kenwood SB206 is designed to cope with fruit and ice
as well as milk and other liquids. The wide
funnel-shaped goblet means everything falls neatly onto
the blades and makes it easy to clean as well. You don't
have to struggle with grooves or latches, because the
goblet just sits in the base. There's a tap too, so you
don't have to tip everything up to get your smoothie
out.
The goblet has the usual volume
marker on the side (capacity is 1.5 litres) and it's
also marked to show you how much fruit or ice you can
put in, how much liquid you can put in and (most useful
of all) how many people will get a drink.
This isn't a multi-purpose
liquidiser--the blades are raised above the spout of the
tap to produce a nice foamy smoothie, so it's not good
at grinding dry ingredients. If you're mixing something
particularly thick, pop in the stirring stick to make
sure everything gets well mixed; this makes your
smoothies even foamier. The powerful motor can cope with
frozen fruit, ice cream or ice cubes and the high-speed
Smooth button finishes your drink in under 60 seconds.
Smoothies are a great way of
getting kids (and adults) to enjoy their daily dose of
fruit. But if you're going to make smoothies every day
you want a blender that's easy to clean. The goblet, lid
and stirring stick are dishwasher safe but they also
wash quickly under the tap because there are no nooks
and crannies for pulp to lurk in. It's surprising how
much difference the shape of the goblet and the tap make
to the SB206; just make sure the tap is closed before
you start filling the goblet. --Mary Branscombe
