My blender is broken, and I don’t know if it would be worth smooshing a bunch of fruit and ice by hand. Is there any other inexpensive alternative that would not include buying an actual smoothie or blender?
I’m in the market for a good blender. In reading Consumer Reports, they rated a Kitchen Aid excellent for purees and very good for smoothies. They rated a Braun blender exactly the opposite of the KitchenAid (very good for purees, excellent for smoothies). Isn’t the ability to puree or smoothie the same thing?

Pineapple Hemp Smoothie
This was definitely one of the most pleasant surprises thus far in this raw food journey. The kids had been asking to juice the pineapple for days, and I just kept putting it off. To me, I know how sweet a pineapple is already, and I figured juicing it would make it that much sweeter. But I was wrong!!
When you juice it, it almost aerates it. It becomes sort of fluffy, and it was actually less sweet than eating the pineapple slices. I was amazed. So, I then turned this juicing into a smoothie, and this how I got the recipe below. This is a definite keepsake for the recipe book, and the kids loved it. Of course, the pretty much love anything that comes out of the juicer:
Pineapple Hemp Seed Smoothie
(you will never taste this in the smoothie)Juice the pineapple. Then add all 3 ingredients into the blender (add ice if you want) and blend. Then enjoy.
