A new contender has entered the ring, vying for the title of smoothest smoothie—the new superblender, the Breville Boss. This welterweight delivers a one-two punch thanks to a second set of wide blades that sweep ingredients back to the top of the jug where they are folded down again towards its serrated central blades. The result is a juice-like green smoothie packed with tough-textured ingredients such as kale, almonds, or celery (ready in 60 seconds after the press of a pre-set button). The Boss also mills flour, churns nut butter, and simultaneously stirs and heats soup. With an artfully designed recipe book—which includes a forward by Heston Blumenthal—and smartphone app as acting coaches, this rookie is sure to keep the veteran competition on their toes.
