My wife and I bought a Ninja last year, and absolutely love it. Got the big jug for sauces/jellies/whatever, and the single serve cups for drinks.
If a ninja is good enough for my Molé, it should be good for Batidos. You can fill it with ice and make snow cones with that sumbitch.
vitamix is crazy expensive! All my mangoes are ripening rapidly. 'Tis the season for mango frozen drinks of all varieties!
