I've been wanting to eat healthier for awhile, get my veg and fruit in and all that jazz, but it's suuuuper hard to just eat salads all the time. My coworker recommended using a hand blender for breakfast smoothies and she has one of these KitchenAid ones so I bought it, and seriously this thing encourages me to eat so much better. This particular one blends really well too, it's super easy (necessary for a lazybones like me) and I just rinse off the blades after without even soaping it up or anything. Piece of cake.
