I'm starting to try out the green smoothie or drink to start the morning but first I need to get a good blender that is under $100. I wanted to get a Vitamix or Blendtec but those suckers goes up to around $400plus.

We can suggest great smoothie makers but they all come at a price. Honestly, if all you're going to be making are smoothies, for $40 you can't go wrong with a Magic Bullet... Yes, it's not as great as other blenders, but for 40 bucks come on.
