A blender is one of the most essential additions to any home. Not only can it help you whip up soups for dinner parties, smoothies for a nutritious breakfasts and protein shakes for workouts, but it’s also pretty good at blending a good ol’ cocktail or some pesto sauce, too.
These days, blenders have become wildly sophisticated, meaning they’ve diversified greatly. This has given rise to a lot of choices between different specialist types, such as stick mixers and even portable blenders so you can take them with you on the go.
From smoothies through to protein shakes, we’ve rounded up a collection of the best blenders that will help you whizz up anything you might need.
The best smoothie blenders in Australia
KitchenAid K150 3 Speed Ice Crushing Blender
While KitchenAid is a household name when it comes to its stand mixers, it’s also a powerhouse with blenders too. This blender is best at mixing lighter ingredients like ice, cocktails and soups. But most importantly, it’s probably one of the most aesthetic smoothie blenders you can grab for your bench.

Kambrook Blitz Power Blender
The top range cost a bomb, and the bottom doesn’t have the power to get versatile blitzing jobs done, so mid-range blenders are a good compromise. They generally have the ability to work across soup, dips and shakes, without the hefty price tag.

Breville 3x Bluicer Pro
If you love smoothies, chances are you love juices, too. ‘Bluicers’ offer you the best of both worlds, with a juicer that can make a gorgeous green juice and a blender if you want to add harder fruits, nuts and chia seeds to those juices.
