Choose Magic Bullet if…
You’re occasional, simple smoothies on a tiny budget. The original mini blender. Fine for soft fruit, yogurt and milk, but its small motor struggles with lots of frozen fruit, ice and leafy greens.
Check priceChoose Ninja Professional BL610 if…
You’re frozen-fruit smoothies on a budget. A huge pitcher and stacked blades that crush ice and frozen fruit easily for under $100. It’s less smooth with leafy greens and seeds than a Vitamix, but unbeatable value for fruit smoothies.
