It's fair to say that Tom Brady's athleticism is well known. Health and fitness are a big part of the former New England Patriots quarterback's life, which is why he occasionally shares his favorite recipes on his Instagram page.
One recent video in particular caught our attention, as the footballer showed us how to make his signature TB12 smoothie. While the drink itself looked delicious, we were naturally intrigued by the lack of mess around him, especially around his Nutribullet blender.
Naturally, appliances are bulky: with essentials like microwaves, toasters, kettles, and the aforementioned blenders, countertop space can be at a premium, especially in small kitchens. So, as the experts explain, it's important to be as economical as possible when choosing appliances that prioritize counter space.
“Organize your kitchen regularly by going through your appliances and donating or throwing away anything that's broken or no longer in use,” says designer Molly Chandler of Willis & Stone. “It's also a good idea to anticipate future storage needs by designing flexible solutions that can adapt to your changing lifestyle.”
As you can see in the video, Brady uses the Nutribullet every day to make protein smoothies, so it's no surprise that the product has a popular spot on his countertop.
Another thing to keep in mind when storing kitchen appliances is to hide the pieces you don’t use often in your cabinets or implement new storage solutions.
“Think about small appliance storage, technology integration and potential changes within the home,” Chandler says. “Tech-savvy people may need storage solutions for kitchen supplies, charging stations and smart appliance integration.”
Finally, Chandler recommends getting rid of cables and kitchen appliances that aren't particularly aesthetically pleasing unless they're in use, as they can become an eyesore.
“Consider hidden electrical outlets and a dedicated space for electronics,” says Chandler. “By carefully considering these things during the planning stage, you can create a kitchen that's not only functional and stylish, but also provides efficient storage solutions that fit your lifestyle.”
In this case, the Nutribullet's advantage is its sleek, beautiful appearance. Slim yet sturdy, this blender fits seamlessly on your counter and is available in a variety of colors. Plus, the glass top complements existing glass details and contrasts with wooden accents in your kitchen.
When it comes to blenders, it's hard to beat the Nutribullet. With three precision speeds, a pulse function, and 1200 watts of power, this appliance can make a variety of dishes, including smoothies, soups, sauces, and nut butters.
Overall, we recommend being strategic when choosing your kitchen appliances. Think about how often they will be used and how often they will be displayed. Additionally, have fun with the colors and models of items like blenders and kettles; they can even become decorative pieces in themselves.
