Jennifer Garner’s Secret to Smoothies and Soups: Why the New KitchenAid Pure Power Blender Is a Must-Have Design Powerhouse, Now Available for $120
Jennifer uses the KitchenAid Pure Power Blender, which features ice-crushing blades and a heat-release vent for smooth blending
If you've tuned into any of Jennifer Garner's Pretend Cooking Shows on Instagram, you'll likely be aware that the actor has a longstanding partnership with KitchenAid. Now, she's debuted a cooking competition with the brand, and her appliance of choice is a new one: the Pure Power Blender (available via the retailer), released earlier this summer.
The 1700-watt blender is primed for making smoothies, soups, dips, and the like, with ice-crushing blades and a heat-release vent for smooth blending. It also happens to be on sale for $120 right now, making it a great pre-holiday buy for Christmas meals.
The brand's blenders have tested positively with our editors; in her review of the Corded Variable Speed Hand Blender (at KitchenAid), former head of reviews Millie Fender praised the piece for its simplicity, saying, 'If you want an immersion blender but aren't interested in additional attachments, this is our top choice for you.'
