Was Santa good to your kitchen this year? Got a Magic Bullet, did ya? You may have wished for that $500 Vitamix, but you have every reason to be just as excited about this little gadget that whips, chops, blends, and more. For a countertop appliance with such a small footprint—12 inches tall and 4¾ inches in diameter—and equally small price tag (ringing up at about $40), it sure does cover a lot of blending ground. That big 18-ounce cup it comes with with crank out smoothies, yes— and so much more. So, put away that cutting board and knife, and that big, bulky blender (you really didn’t want that Vitamix anyway, right?). Because whether you’re looking for a little help with some healthy New Year’s resolutions, or you’re just looking speed up your prep, your new toy will have you covered for a range of everyday cooking adventures.
