For those of you who’ve been lusting after a Vitamix or a Blendtec, listen up because I’ve got something even better. I’ve been using the Froothie blenders for the last year and can officially say I’ve retired my Vitamix. These blenders are fantastic. The Froothie Optimum 9400 is basically identical to the Vitamix in form and function but is far more powerful, and the Optimum 9200 is even better. I’ve grown to love its 3-speed setting and especially its timer (I hit the 35-second timer to make my smoothie and then walk away and get up with making tea, tidying up, whatever). I use it at least once per day, always for my morning smoothie, and sometimes again if I’m making soup, hummus or even my own spice blends (you can’t beat homemade curry powder). 
The generous folks at Froothie have kindly given me an Optimum 9200 to giveaway in celebration of National Vegetarian Week, starting today and lasting until May 24th. If you read this blog, then chances are you’re probably already pretty jazzed about vegetarian food. But if you’ve felt your jazz waning, then this week is a good opportunity to bump start your vegetable mojo, and what better way to “rev” it up than by adding an awesome piece of kit to your kitchen that will enable you to create all kinds of blitzed vegetable creations!
A few details about the Optimum 9200: The Optimum 9200 next generation blender is a commercial-grade super blender designed for longevity, versatility and BRAWN. Stronger, faster and more powerful than a Vitamix, the Optimum 9200 will set you up to make amazing soups, the silkiest smoothies, super smooth dips, nut butters, ice cream and more. This is the best blender you’ll ever use and the last blender you’ll ever need. Once you try it, you’ll wish you’d had it all your life. A few features you’re going to love:
- Crushes ice in seconds
- Easy to use, with three speeds, three timer settings and a pulse button 6 blade assembly creates a vortex that will suck your ingredients down and make blending a breeze
- Super easy to clean and maintain by simply blending water in the jug at high speed
The Optimum 9200 retails for £429 but will be on sale for £349 during National Vegetarian Week. Visit Froothie’s website for details.
