For the last two years I have been the proud owner of the Optimum 9400 blender and unlike any other device its the most used gadget in my kitchen. It will blast any ingredient and blitz it to a delicious purée in moments, furthermore it crushes ice like it cutting through butter, it chops, grates, grinds and whips and you can use it with wet or dry ingredients in it without buying a separate jug. It also makes instant icecreams for the summer and warm soups for the winter so you can make use of it the whole year around. The blender is totally a lifesaver in the kitchen as it has so many different uses. For a more detailed review of this blender do check my Optimum 9400 post here.
The mini jug works in the same way as a large jug and the good news is that currently the Optimum 9400 is on special Autumn half price offer at just £299 and you will also get the mini jug free if you take advantage of this offer. You can also get Free Delivery when you place your order here Just use this code 1572 FREE AMBASSADOR DELIVERY in the comments box when making your purchase, the delivery charge will then be refunded.

ReplyDeleteI'm with you - I would be smitten at the addition of a smaller jug for smaller amounts of smoothie, salsa, condiment, or whatever one is making. I like your smoothie recipe and know it can even be used when mangoes are not in season by switching from fresh whole fruits to frozen chunks.
ReplyDeleteMango is one of my favorite smoothie ingredients. Love your smoothie jars.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds so yummy! I love mangoes and regularly buy them so will have to try this recipe out soon. Delish!
