Blood is considered a suspension because it is a heterogeneous mixture of solid particles, non dissolved red and white blood cells, platelets, and proteins of various sizes and shapes, suspended in a solution. It contains a solution, but is not a solution where everything would be dissolved, i.e. homogeneous.

Is frog a suspension colloid or solution?
I have it under good authority that a frog is neither a suspension, colloid nor solution but is instead an Assembly of organs, bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and all the other things that make up a frog. Parts of a frog can fall into those three categories, though. The frog's blood is a suspension. The frog's bile is a solution. And the cartilage in its bones is a colloid.
What kind of solution is blood?
Blood is both a solution and a suspension; it consists of blood plasma, red and white blood cells, and platelets. Blood plasma is a watery solution of sugars, salts, some gasses, and various hormones and other substances that are transported via the blood. Blood cells and platelets are suspended in this fluid. Technically, it would be more accurate to use 'blood plasma' as an example of a solution.
