Our Verdict

Calphalon ActiveSense

nutribullet Smart Touch Blender Combo

The nutribullet Smart Touch Blender Combo is better for smoothies than the Calphalon ActiveSense. The nutribullet is better built and makes a silkier smoothie with fibrous ingredients like kale. It also comes with two personal jars for single-serve smoothies, while the Calphalon only includes one. On the other hand, the Calphalon is more versatile since it can crush ice and make smooth nut butter.
