Mixer or smoothie maker

It is very important to buy a good mixer if you want to prepare a smoothie. Try to find one that has an ice crusher function, as this will help you make frozen cocktails or viscous and ice-cold drinks. Smoothie makers are a great concept and do the job well, but are more of a gimmick and standard mixers often have more power. Hand mixers can be used for the simpler fruit smoothies, but are not comparable to those with the ice crusher function.

Centrifugal juicer

Juicers are available in different qualities and designs, but the best you can get is a professional level centrifugal juicer. They produce a finer juice and remove more pulp, but get the best out of the fruit or vegetables you put in. The cheaper compact juicers are great for people with a smaller budget, but if you're serious about juicing, I'd like propose to spend the money on better quality.

Citrus juicer

Even though you can juice citrus fruits in a centrifugal juicer when you peel them, it's important to have a citrus juicer handy when you only need a little citrus juice and don't have to use the larger appliances.

Glasses with lids and portable cups

A covered glass or portable cup can be kept in the fridge to store juices or smoothies you can't drink, or you can use it to take a freshly made smoothie with you.

Resealable plastic bags

Chop up your fruit the evening before and put it in a resealable plastic bag into the freezer. The next day, pour the frozen fruit directly into the mixer with some yoghurt or juice and process the whole thing for an icy, soft drink.

Measuring spoon

The use of measuring spoons guarantees that you add the right amount of each ingredient to your drink to ensure that you balance the taste perfectly.

Ice cream scoops

It's good to have an ice cream scoop handy to make it easier to shovel ice or frozen yogurt for the icier drinks.
