Smoothie Blender, recipes

[memphislawyer]

Well, daughter has me trying smoothies. So far, so good. Had a Mango pineapple one and a butternut squash (better than it sounds). So the issue is what sort of blender to get. She says Vitamix but I dont cook much and well, $499 is too much. I have heard of a Nutribullet, the Ninja, the Oster something Professional one that is like $250, and a Breville brand if memory serves me.

Also, how are they with yogurt added?

Suggestions, recipes?
