Smoothies are my number-one way to get Mazen to pack in some nutrients – and they have been since he starting eating real food! My child does not like berries (WHAT?!), so this is really the only way I can get those good antioxidants into his little body. Thus, we enjoy smoothies at least a few times a week.
Eufy sent me their latest and greatest blender to review in a blog post. I’ve had a Vita-mix for about a decade now, and this Eufy blender rivals it to a T. For now, my Vita-mix is tucked away and we’ve been loving the Eufy for the past few weeks.
They are very similar in their style and shape, as both have the blades only on the bottom and multiple speeds. But here are a few more things I love about the Eufy:
- It’s very lightweight, so dragging it out from its storage corner is a lot easier, as it rinsing it under the faucet.
- The Eufy fits under my cabinets (I know some Vita-mix blenders do, but my model does not)
- The Eufy has programmed buttons for “Cleaning” and “Smoothie” that do all kinds of fancy slow-to-fast movements to create the perfect result. The blender shuts off when it’s ready!
- The Eufy is dishwasher safe!! (Honestly, I’ve been using the self-cleaning button mostly, but this is good to know if you have a particularly garlicky recipe that needs a super clean!)
In terms of consistency, it’s spot on! The best smoothies (in my opinion!) make a tornado vortex while blending and have little bubbles upon pouring.
Check:
And check:
The consistency was perfect – smooth and silky!
Here are the ingredients to my favorite smoothie in an nicely organized chart:
And in recipe form! Note the Vega Coconut Almond is entirely optional, but I love the flavor it brings.
Serves two!
I dressed mine up with homemade granola (recipe TBD!) and a few frozen berries for garnish.
The Eufy blender retails for $129.99 but will be dropping to a $99 sale on Amazon over the weekend on Sunday and will remain on sale until the 24th!
Thanks to Eufy for sponsoring this post.

I love the visual recipe/chart of the smoothie!!
Colleen says
This looks delicious! I am going to have to give this a whirl (or…a blend?) soon!
KathEats says
Haha!
Sara says
WOW Thanks for letting us know about the sale and this blender. I’ll add it to my wish list! Maybe for Christmas. I’ve always wanted a vitamix and this looks like it may be a match for it 🙂 (That I can afford)
Linda @ the Fitty says
True or false? Smoothie lovers are usually acai Bowl lovers as well.
Kathleen says
Okay- I have a vita mix that I begged for for my birthday last year and I absolutely do not love it. It always leaks (even though I test out the suction piece before using it) and seems to take forever to blend well. So- I’m honewtly interested in purchasing this and selling that— truly do you think it blends as well? Does it leak? Can it make big batches of smoothies? (I use my vitamix everday… and it was such a big purchase that I would need to justify getting a new blender ?.)
KathEats says
I’ve never had this or my Vitamix leak. Could you be over filling it? So far I think the two are very comparable and this one even has a few extra pros like the dishwasher, easy open lid and quick buttons. I can’t speak for longevity.
Kathleen says
I don’t think so. It leaks at the base where the little suction piece is (on the motor side, like where you connect the motor and pitcher part). I may try this instead… see how it compares for a week or so! The price point is awesome.
KathEats says
That is odd! I would say a defect.
Linds says
Thanks for the top on smoothie consistency! That’s helpful.
Lynda says
Thanks so much for the link and recommendation for this blender. The price is so much more affordable than a VitaMix and with your review of how well it performs I may purchase one. Your smoothie looks awesome. Thanks also for the note on the sale this weekend!
Tonya says
Rivals the Vitamix? awesome. And the price point is right. I happen to need a new blender and I think I’ll try this.
Kristin says
I just checked and it’s not on sale yet?? I really want to purchase but would hate to miss out on the sale if it still might happen?
Any clue?
KathEats says
It starts tomorrow – the 10th! And runs through the 24th.
Kris says
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diana says
Random question but – where is the drying towel/mat you have the blender top on from? I love the stripes and the red border!
KathEats says
It’s from this Etsy shop! Way prettier than the ones at Bed, Bath and Beyond 🙂
Jess says
You’ve got me sold on this smoothie, and I’ve been compare shopping ninjas for months- but I can’t pass up this deal on the Eufy! However it’s the 10th and the link still bring me to Amazon showing 129.00 There is a $15 coupon offered but that doesn’t bring it to your posted $99 sale price.
Any idea why? Thank you!
KathEats says
Oh weird. I will email my contact right away and should get a response first thing tomorrow. Since it’s supposed to be a two week sale hoping we have plenty of time to clear up. It might just be going live at midnight or something. I’ll report back!
Jess says
It’s now showing the sale price!! Yay, placing my order now 🙂
KathEats says
Yay!!!
Liz Piasecki says
Just placed an order for an Eufy!
KathEats says
Hope you love it!
Kelli @ Hungry Hobby says
Interesting! I had never heard of this blender before, my super old Vitamix could use a rival!
Jennifer says
So beautiful! Love the color of blueberry smoothies. Do you have any thoughts/advice on what to use instead of milk including alternative milks? (I’m allergic to all nut milks and coconut and cow) 🙁
KathEats says
I would use one with a decent amount of protein – probably soy.
Marcela says
Thanks for the recipe!! I’m addicted to smoothies, so I’m always looking for new recipes!! This one seems to be absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to try it!! 🙂
