Available in a variety of colors, including cranberry red, forest green and passion fruit purple, this petite yet powerful blender boasts an 18-ounce capacity that&#8217;s perfect for single-serve smoothies, shakes and more.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s constructed of a stainless steel base with a dishwasher-safe, BPA-free jar, and its stainless steel blades are durable enough to power through ice and frozen ingredients. Its user-friendly control panel consists of a power button and a start\/stop button for easy operation. It also includes an easy-open sip lid and a hinged handle for carrying it around with you. Plus, it&#8217;s small enough that it fits right into the cup holder in your car.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our only complaint? The battery life on this thing could be better. While the battery is rechargeable via a USB-C cable (which is included with the blender), some customers note that you&#8217;ll only get a few blending cycles out of it before you need to charge it again.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Ak7s3T\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Amazon<\/a><\/div> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuy.7tiv.net\/DKELG5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Best Buy<\/a><\/div> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goto.target.com\/daXRgW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Target<\/a><\/div> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-for-convenience-hamilton-beach-portable-blender\">Best for Convenience: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dDFtuk\">Hamilton Beach Portable Blender<\/a><\/h3> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hamilton-Beach-51131-Single-Serve-Raspberry\/dp\/B00QNUCV0I?crid=60JLUZZ9CHN9&amp;keywords=best%2Bportable%2Bblenders%2Bfor%2Bsmoothies%2Band%2Bbeyond&amp;qid=1707316474&amp;sprefix=best%2Bportable%2Bbledners%2Bfor%2Bsmoothies%2Band%2Bbeyond%2Caps%2C242&amp;sr=8-3&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=mccgr-20&amp;linkId=3f8a03607ef69f23ac97905901792e60&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"noFollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/1.-Hamilton-Beach-Portable-Blende_fitted-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-545\"\/><\/a><\/figure> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-specs-0\"><b>Key Specs<\/b><\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 14 oz.<\/li> <li><strong>Power<\/strong>: 120 volts<\/li> <li><strong>Rechargeable?<\/strong> Yes<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-0\">Pros<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Comes in multiple colors<\/li> <li>Dishwasher safe<\/li> <li>Durable stainless steel blades<\/li> <li>Quick charge function<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-0\">Cons<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Not the best at crushing ice<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-we-chose-it-0\">Why We Chose It<\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need a quick and convenient way to blend up your favorite smoothies? The Hamilton Beach Portable Blender offers easy, on-the-go blending. The travel jar doubles as a to-go cup, while the compact size makes it perfect for small spaces or taking with you.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This blender is built with convenience in mind. The travel jar lets you blend and sip from the same container, so there are fewer dishes to clean. Furthermore, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whirlpool.com\/blog\/kitchen\/what-is-and-is-not-dishwasher-safe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">dishwasher-safe parts<\/a> mean even quicker cleanup. It\u2019s also incredibly compact, so you won\u2019t have to sacrifice precious counter space. And, while it takes roughly four hours to fully charge the battery, you can still get up to five blending cycles out of a 30-minute charge.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While powerful enough for smoothies, this blender might not be the best choice if you\u2019re crushing lots of ice or blending tough ingredients. You may find yourself wishing for a slightly stronger motor.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dDFtuk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Amazon<\/a><\/div> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goto.walmart.com\/c\/2869648\/565706\/9383?veh=aff&amp;sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FHamilton-Beach-51101BG-Single-Serve-Blender-Travel-Cup-Black%2F44170074\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Walmart<\/a><\/div> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-for-smoothies-magic-bullet-portable-blender\">Best for Smoothies: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3SP61AR\">Magic Bullet Portable Blender<\/a><\/h3> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"325\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Magic-Bullet-Portable-Blender-325x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1405\" style=\"width:189px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Magic-Bullet-Portable-Blender-325x1024.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Magic-Bullet-Portable-Blender-95x300.jpg 95w, https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Magic-Bullet-Portable-Blender.jpg 476w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/figure> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-specs-1\"><b>Key Specs<\/b><\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 16 oz.<\/li> <li><strong>Power<\/strong>: 7.4 volts<\/li> <li><strong>Rechargeable? <\/strong>Yes<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-1\">Pros<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Comes in multiple colors<\/li> <li>Handled flip-and-sip lid<\/li> <li>Infuser basket for flavored water<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-1\">Cons<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>May struggle with frozen ingredients<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-we-chose-it-1\">Why We Chose It<\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This compact and portable blender is your perfect companion for spontaneous smoothies at the gym or infused water while hiking. It emphasizes hassle-free, anytime-anywhere blending.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magic Bullet\u2019s little blender packs a big punch for those seeking freedom from kitchen countertops. The USB-C charging means you can juice it up pretty much anywhere. The water infuser basket is a unique touch, as well, letting you ditch boring water in favor of something with a little more flavor.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can certainly handle your basic smoothies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/photos\/smoothie-recipes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">light ingredient loads<\/a>, but don\u2019t expect this to be your main kitchen blender.

The two-in-one lid design eliminates the need for a separate cup, meaning there&#8217;s no extra dishes to wash, and the self-cleaning mode makes rinsing a breeze. This blender also comes in eight colors, each of which include two straws and a cleaning brush. Overall, it\u2019s an excellent blender for the busy folks of the bunch.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if you\u2019re looking to blend large amounts or tackle tough ingredients, this might not be the most powerful option. The focus on safety might mean a little extra fiddling to get it all assembled correctly.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3yC1Kdb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Amazon<\/a><\/div> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-budget-friendly-mialoe-portable-blender\">Best Budget-Friendly: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3X0fk3r\">Mialoe Portable Blender<\/a><\/h3> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Portable-Personal-Smoothie-Magnetic-Electric\/dp\/B076DJ3DKK?crid=60JLUZZ9CHN9&amp;keywords=best%2Bportable%2Bblenders%2Bfor%2Bsmoothies%2Band%2Bbeyond&amp;qid=1707316474&amp;sprefix=best%2Bportable%2Bbledners%2Bfor%2Bsmoothies%2Band%2Bbeyond%2Caps%2C242&amp;sr=8-17-spons&amp;sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=mccgr-20&amp;linkId=dbbf0f24334e3d15ced02ef0c04bb7be&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"noFollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/5.-Mialoe-Portable-Blende_fitted-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-550\"\/><\/a><\/figure> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-specs-3\">Key Specs<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 14 oz.<\/li> <li><strong>Power<\/strong>: 3.7 volts<\/li> <li><strong>Rechargeable?<\/strong> Yes<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-3\">Pros<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Under $10<\/li> <li>Comes in four colors<\/li> <li>Parts are dishwasher safe<\/li> <li>Safety lock feature<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-3\">Cons<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Motor isn&#8217;t very powerful<\/li> <li>Not super durable<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-we-chose-it-3\">Why We Chose It<\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re curious about the smoothie life but don\u2019t want to break the bank, this is the blender for you. With a price point of under $10, this Mialoe model offers basic blending functionality without unnecessary frills, making it the perfect starter blender. It also has a safety sensor that ensures the blades won&#8217;t spin if the cup is open or not tightened on the base.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This blender is a no-frills option that won\u2019t drain your wallet. It\u2019s great if you want a portable solution but aren\u2019t sure how much you\u2019ll really use it. Additionally, the dishwasher-safe parts mean easy breezy cleanup. Don\u2019t expect anything fancy, though \u2014 this blender doesn\u2019t have multiple speeds or the power to pulverize ice. If you have big blending ambitions, this might feel underpowered and basic.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3X0fk3r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Amazon<\/a><\/div> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-splurge-nutribullet-flip\">Best Splurge: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3X4QO03\">Nutribullet Flip<\/a><\/h3> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Nutribullet-Flip-1024x734.jpg\" alt=\"Nutribullet Flip portable blender\" class=\"wp-image-1408\" style=\"width:631px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Nutribullet-Flip-1024x734.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Nutribullet-Flip-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Nutribullet-Flip-768x550.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Nutribullet-Flip.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-specs-4\">Key Specs <\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 20 oz.<\/li> <li><strong>Power<\/strong>: 11.1 volts<\/li> <li><strong>Rechargeable?<\/strong> Yes<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-4\">Pros <\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Insulated<\/li> <li>Larger capacity vessel<\/li> <li>Hybrid blade and lid for easy blending and sipping<\/li> <li>Includes a straw and cleaning brush<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-4\">Cons <\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Steep price tag<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-we-chose-it-4\">Why We Chose It<\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don&#8217;t mind spending a bit of cash on a truly impressive portable blender, the Nutribullet Flip makes an excellent choice. It features a unique, hybrid blade-lid combo that allows you to blend and sip your smoothie with zero disassembly required. Additionally, the insulated stainless steel tumbler keeps the contents cold for up to 24 hours.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To use this blender, you&#8217;ll start by filling the tumbler with your ingredients of choice. Twist on the lid, flip the blender upside down and press the button to blend. Then, simply flip it right side up to sip. <\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nutribullet Flip&#8217;s high-torque motor can pulverize produce and frozen ingredients with ease, and the carrying handle makes it easy to take with you on the go. However, with a price tag of a hundred bucks, this innovative blender doesn&#8217;t come cheap. <\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3X4QO03\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Amazon<\/a><\/div> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nutribullet.com\/shop\/blenders\/nutribullet-flip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Nutribullet<\/a><\/div> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-design-otpeir-personal-size-blender\">Best Design: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dJX7wH\">Otpeir Personal Size Blender<\/a><\/h3> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/OTPEIR-Personal-Blender-Portable-Battery\/dp\/B09WR2SBGN?crid=60JLUZZ9CHN9&amp;keywords=best%2Bportable%2Bblenders%2Bfor%2Bsmoothies%2Band%2Bbeyond&amp;qid=1707316474&amp;sprefix=best%2Bportable%2Bbledners%2Bfor%2Bsmoothies%2Band%2Bbeyond%2Caps%2C242&amp;sr=8-22-spons&amp;sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9idGY&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=mccgr-20&amp;linkId=abcb8263bd63c4e7a16901f1d77bf7bd&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"noFollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/6.-Otpeir-Personal-Size-Blende_fitted-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-551\"\/><\/a><\/figure> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-specs-5\">Key Specs<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 350 ml<\/li> <li><strong>Power<\/strong>: 7.4 volts<\/li> <li><strong>Rechargeable?<\/strong> Yes<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-5\">Pros<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Cute, compact design<\/li> <li>Comes in five colors<\/li> <li>Wireless charging<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-5\">Cons<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Smaller capacity<\/li> <li>Not the most durable<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-we-chose-it-5\">Why We Chose It<\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want a blender that\u2019s as cute as it is functional?

It also has a unique, wireless charging method in lieu of corded chargers; simply place it onto the magnetic charging dock, and in a few hours it&#8217;ll be good to go. <\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you prioritize having your smoothie sidekick along for the ride, this could be a good pick. However, it might fall a bit short on power and durability, as it&#8217;s not great at crushing ice or blending up super tough ingredients. Also, the small capacity means you\u2019re limited to single servings.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dJX7wH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Amazon<\/a><\/div> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-colors-beautiful-portable-to-go-blender\">Best Colors: <a href=\"http:\/\/goto.walmart.com\/c\/2869648\/565706\/9383?veh=aff&amp;sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FBeautiful-Portable-to-Go-Blender-2-0-70-W-16-oz-Black-Sesame-by-Drew-Barrymore%2F5040310470\">Beautiful Portable To-Go Blender<\/a><\/h3> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"592\" height=\"770\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Drew-Barrymore-Blender.png\" alt=\"Beautiful Portable To-Go Blender by Drew Barrymore in lavender\" class=\"wp-image-1406\" style=\"width:377px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Drew-Barrymore-Blender.png 592w, https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/Drew-Barrymore-Blender-231x300.png 231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/figure> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-specs-6\">Key Specs <\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 16 oz.<\/li> <li><strong>Power<\/strong>: 70 watts<\/li> <li><strong>Rechargeable?<\/strong> Yes<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-6\">Pros <\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Comes in seven stylish colors<\/li> <li>Dishwasher safe<\/li> <li>Carrying strap for easy transport<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-6\">Cons <\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Takes a while to charge completely<\/li> <li>Can struggle with frozen ingredients<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-we-chose-it-6\">Why We Chose It<\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to the Beautiful Portable To-Go Blender, the name says it all \u2014 it really is beautiful! One of many kitchen products from Drew Barrymore&#8217;s Beautiful brand, this blender comes in seven chic colors, from lavender to sage green to cornflower blue. Its 16-ounce jar is made of durable, dishwasher-safe Tritan, and the base and lids have a soft matte premium finish. <\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This blender includes a wrist strap for easy carrying, and it&#8217;s rechargeable via USB-C. We&#8217;ll note, however, that it can take up to five hours for the battery to charge completely, and some customers note that you&#8217;ll only get a few blends out of it. The blender also tends to struggle with ice or large chunks of frozen fruit, so we recommend sticking with fresh produce when making smoothies. And be sure to use plenty of liquid, too \u2014 the blades can get hung up if the ingredients are too dry.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"http:\/\/goto.walmart.com\/c\/2869648\/565706\/9383?veh=aff&amp;sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FBeautiful-Portable-to-Go-Blender-2-0-70-W-16-oz-Black-Sesame-by-Drew-Barrymore%2F5040310470\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Walmart<\/a><\/div> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-set-lezaa-portable-blender\">Best Set: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4co5k8K\">Lezaa Portable Blender<\/a><\/h3> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/LEZAA-Portable-Blender-1024x997.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1407\" style=\"width:483px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/LEZAA-Portable-Blender-1024x997.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/LEZAA-Portable-Blender-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/LEZAA-Portable-Blender-768x748.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/07\/LEZAA-Portable-Blender.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-specs-7\">Key Specs<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 14 oz.<\/li> <li><strong>Power<\/strong>: 7.4 volts<\/li> <li><strong>Rechargeable? <\/strong>Yes<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-7\">Pros<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Dishwasher safe<\/li> <li>Comes with a funnel and an ice tray<\/li> <li>One-touch blending<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-7\">Cons<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Blender jar is a bit small compared to others<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-we-chose-it-7\">Why We Chose It<\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lezaa\u2019s blender focuses on getting your smoothie ready fast. Its travel jar doubles as a drinking cup, and its one-touch operation makes blending a breeze. It also comes with some helpful extra items that most other portable models don&#8217;t. These include a funnel to help transfer ingredients easily into the jar, plus a mini ice tray for freezing juice or other beverages into small cubes for blending. <\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 14-ounce travel jar is smaller than some other models, but it&#8217;s perfect for hectic mornings, and the removable parts are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Plus, it has enough power to handle frozen fruits \u2014 a bonus for smoothie lovers. This blender is simple to use, but you won\u2019t find any fancy features like multiple speeds or special programming settings. If you like having extra bells and whistles, you may want to look elsewhere.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-mcc-buy-button-buy-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4co5k8K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"mcclatchy-buy-button\">Buy Now on Amazon<\/a><\/div> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-large-capacity-devan-portable-blender\">Best Large Capacity: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4ckZOn3\">Devan Portable Blender<\/a><\/h3> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Portable-Blender-Smoothies-Waterproof-Rechargeable\/dp\/B0BXDJCZHH?crid=60JLUZZ9CHN9&amp;keywords=best%2Bportable%2Bblenders%2Bfor%2Bsmoothies%2Band%2Bbeyond&amp;qid=1707316474&amp;sprefix=best%2Bportable%2Bbledners%2Bfor%2Bsmoothies%2Band%2Bbeyond%2Caps%2C242&amp;sr=8-21&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=mccgr-20&amp;linkId=5aed2dbc2bb390c8d2ffddf6ffdc002a&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"noFollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/8.-Devan-Portable-Blende_fitted-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-553\"\/><\/a><\/figure> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-specs-8\">Key Specs<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 20 oz.<\/li> <li><strong>Power<\/strong>: 270 watts<\/li> <li><strong>Rechargeable?<\/strong> Yes<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-8\">Pros<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Waterproof<\/li> <li>Dishwasher safe<\/li> <li>Larger jar than most other portable models<\/li> <li>LED indicators for battery life<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-8\">Cons<\/h4> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Battery can drain quickly<\/li> <li>A little bulkier than other models<\/li> <\/ul> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-we-chose-it-8\">Why We Chose It<\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take your blending up a notch with this slightly upgraded portable option.

Its built-in magnetic sensing switch helps prevent the device from overheating, and the LED light indicator lets you keep track of the remaining battery life. The blender can also be immersed in water for up to 10 minutes, making it safe to bring to the pool. <\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of the extra features with this blender can drain its battery quickly, though, and some customers mention it only lasts long enough for a few blends.

If you love frozen fruits or ice in your smoothies, you\u2019ll want a blender with a motor strong enough to handle it.

These small yet powerful devices are often rechargeable, so you can simply charge them and go \u2014 no need to worry about locating an outlet when you use them. They&#8217;re great to take to the office for a quick breakfast or lunch at your desk, or on short camping trips or road trips when you may not have access to electricity.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-put-frozen-fruit-in-a-portable-blender\">Can you put frozen fruit in a portable blender?<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many cases, yes! However, this will vary from brand to brand, so it&#8217;s a good idea to consult the user manual to make sure your model is powerful enough to handle frozen ingredients.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-difference-between-a-portable-blender-and-a-personal-blender\">What&#8217;s the difference between a portable blender and a personal blender?<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the name indicates, portable blenders are designed with portability in mind, meaning you can take them with you on the go. While some blenders are touted as &#8220;personal blenders&#8221; or &#8220;single-serve blenders,&#8221; this doesn&#8217;t always mean they&#8217;re portable. Most personal blenders are corded and require a power source to operate, whereas portable blenders are usually cordless and rechargeable. Additionally, portable blenders often allow you to blend and sip the smoothie without detaching the cup from the base.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-trust-us\">Why Trust Us?<\/h2> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team of writers, editors and shopping experts scoured the market and evaluated dozens of portable blenders before coming up with our final picks for this list. First and foremost, the blenders had to be portable \u2014 i.e., designed to carry around on the go. When choosing the best portable blenders, we factored in the price point, motor power, extra features and the overall quality of each model. We also considered customer reviews and ratings when determining if the blenders we selected were up to par.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sources\"><b>Sources<\/b><\/h2> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whirlpool.com\/blog\/kitchen\/what-is-and-is-not-dishwasher-safe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">What Is and Isn\u2019t Dishwasher Safe? | Whirlpool<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/photos\/smoothie-recipes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">50 Smoothie Recipes That Will Satisfy Your Hunger | Food Network<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/thebalancednutritionist.com\/healthy-greens-for-smoothies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">10 Best Healthy Greens for Smoothies: The Ultimate Guide | The Balanced Nutritionist<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/how-to-crush-ice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">How to Crush Ice (The Easy Way!) | A Couple Cooks<\/a><\/li> <\/ul> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special Offer: Enjoy your favorite drinks anywhere, anytime with a portable blender<\/p> ","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":533,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kitchen-dining"],"acf":{"external_author":[186],"external_editor":22,"not_show_feature_image":false,"credits_feature_image":"","extra_featured_images":null,"title_related_topics":"Related Topics","manual_articles_related":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>11 Best Portable Blenders<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Find the perfect portable blender for on-the-go smoothies and healthy snacks with our comprehensive guide to the best of the best.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/guides\/home\/kitchen-dining\/portable-blenders\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"11 Best Portable Blenders to Whip Up Smoothies &amp;
