Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Back to Basics SE3000 Smoothie Express Lifestyle 26-Ounce Smoothie Maker
Customer Review: Surprisingly wonderful time- & space-saver!
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't find any reviews of this, but I bought it because 1) I wanted a small blender for the smoothies I make every morning & afternoon (on a diet AGAIN, sigh...) and 2) it was the only one that had a cup that was big enough! So many of the other "personal blenders" have 12- or 16-ounce containers, but when you add fruit and ice cubes to a package of Myoplex Lite chocolate cream powder, it really blows up (so to speak). I'd read reviews saying some small blenders can't crush ice cubes, so I even bought small ice cube trays--but this thing has no problem with ANY size cubes.
So I'm VERY PLEASED with this blender.
UPDATE: Had this for about 6 weeks now, still love it. I throw in skim milk or water, the powder, frozen strawberries from Costco (they're great), and 3 large or 6 small ice cubes, and in about a minute it's all blended up. I might take it off the blending stand for few seconds to shake it up if some of the powder's gotten stuck on the top (which turns into the bottom when you turn it over and drink out of it), but that's no problem. And best of all, when I'm done with the shake, I just wash the cup, the lid, & the cap with the blades in it, and I'm done. Tip: If you're making a smoothie or protein shake using powder, just put about half an inch of water (or whatever liquid you want) in the bottom, THEN the powder, then ice cubes and the rest of the liquid/other ingredients. That way, the powder doesn't stick to the bottom.
NOTE: I don't like to drink straight from the mug with the travel lid on, because it's pretty hard to get the liquid out. I also got tired of drinking out of the mug with NO lid on it, because you're drinking over the "threads" at the top. I considered buying an inexpensive "sipping rim" that screws on, which is available from Back to Basics' website (it's sold with their other blender), but instead I just put the lid on and use a 10"-long, 12mm wide glass straw from GlassDharma (don't get the 14mm straw, it won't fit thru the hole). You can buy it from GlassDharma's online site--their customer service is great. Don't get it Amazon, tho, because the resellers don't offer the same options, PLUS they charge about twice as much as the company itself!)
