¨Chris Mosler from ‘Thinly Spread’
“Well, this is exciting! I can barely contain my excitement – I’m sharing my thoughts on the new Optimum G2.3 Platinum Series Blender. The brushless induction motor is much quieter than any high-power blender I have used….. The extra 1 litre rotating jug in addition to the standard 2 litre jug is just what I have always wanted in a blender! The 2-litre jug with its 6-blade assembly is perfect for large quantities of soup, for smoothies, and for making nut milk but I very often want to blend smaller quantities. The 1-litre rotating jug is fabulous when I’m making hummus, cashew cream, and nut butter. No more teeth grinding for me when I have to keep stopping to push badly behaved chickpeas down into the blender! Both jugs are BPA-free.

“YIt is so incredibly easy to use!! You simply plug the Froothie Optimum G2.3, in, pop one of the two jugs on top, put your stuff inside, switch the machine on, and press one of the presets…you have a choice of smoothie, sorbet, fruit & veg, soup or grind. If one of these doesn’t suit your purposes there is a manual speed button and a plus 20 seconds button, so you can adjust things to your liking.
One of the best things about the Froothie Optimum G2.3 is that it comes with a fab recipe book. So often you get a new appliance, but you are not quite sure what to use it for. But this is not the case here – the recipe book is full of inspiration – I was amazed at the number of things the Froothie Optimum G2.3 can do.
Each time my Froothie Optimum G2.3 more than exceeded my expectations – I have been genuinely astonished at its capabilities. Read the full review……Click here.“

“The first thing I noticed when unpacking the Optimum G2.3 was how stylish and professional it looks. Although how it looks isn’t as important as how well it works, if you’ve got this machine in your kitchen, people are going to know you mean business!
Secondly, I was amazed at how powerful it is. Nuts are blitzed into a fine powder in seconds. It’s like a magician making something disappear in a puff of smoke. It is a seriously good piece of kit.
I’ve used cheaper blenders in the past and the consistency of things can be very grainy. This is also important when it comes to making vegan desserts. Let me tell you, from experience, a grainy ‘cheesecake’ filling is not pleasant. If you’re making a vegan cheesecake filling, you need the consistency to be smoother than smooth, to mimic the cream cheese. And the smoothie function is perfect for that.

“You can use this bad boy for pretty much anything – I’ve used it as a food processor to make my awesome http://greensofthestoneage.com/paleo-and-vegan-nutella/, energy balls, cookie dough, soups, dips, to grind nuts into nut flours, and of course nut milk. I’ve also used it to make smoothies, nice cream, and of course my beloved cup of Bulletproof Coffee.
What I loved about this Froothie blender was its simplicity and elegance on the worktop, and that there’s no need to click, twist, or turn the jug onto the base, which I don’t know about you, but it drives me insane! The jug simply sits in place (I think by use of a magnet but don’t quote me on this) and has a super easy pourable spout too so no mess afterward! It’s also relatively easy to clean and maintain, unlike other food processors.

“The function that I was most interested in is the one that makes soup. Less than eight minutes to make the soup that I take to work? Almost unbelievable. It blends well, works incredibly fast, and heats too.
We are keen on nut butter in this house. Again, it was quick work to use the machine to make cashew and maple butter, and the smaller jug with rotating blades was helpful with this – the blades helped to push any unground nuts towards the bottom. Helpful. I am frankly astounded by how quickly the nuts were turned into paste. It has so much power!

“The two features that I was most excited about were the reduced noise (we all know how loud blenders can be!) and the smaller jug. The smaller jug is just AMAZING! Naturally, the first thing I made was peanut butter and it was so easy! I had freshly made, smooth, and silky peanut butter within a couple of minutes which is insane!
