A Christopher Kimball favorite, Beast’s Blender + Hydration System is truly a best-in-class personal blender set. Designed to flawlessly combine both fresh and frozen ingredients, the blender can whip up a smoothie, sauce or salsa in little time and with little noise. Unlike other blenders that stall when there’s too much frozen fruit, Beast’s can handle anything, even plain ice, without getting stuck until thoroughly blended. It also handles dry ingredients expertly, thanks to a pulse feature—something other handheld blenders usually don’t offer. The set also comes with a hydration cup and infuser, along with two sizes of leak-resistant cups and a selection of screw-on lids for taking your beverage with you. Use the blender to pulse fruit or herbs, like lemon and mint, then add to the infuser with water to the hydration cup for fresh infused water.
