Smoothies on the go

A key advantage that portable blenders have over mains-powered personal blenders is that you can take them with you and blitz up a smoothie when you're ready to drink it, rather than drinking a beverage that was blended hours ago and may have separated or oxidised.

OBERLY Portable Blender: Get a ton of nutrients with little time and effort. Easy to crush ice, frozen fruit, leafy greens and more into smoothies.

Their small statures make them easier to stash away but come at a price in terms of power. However, they should still be able to blend a silky smoothie. They're also often more affordable than a full-sized blender, so if you want to save some moolah and like a smoothie now and then, they are a great option.

Although devices with a power of 500 watts should cope with hard products, it is definitely safer to choose equipment of 1000 watts. This will give you the assurance that the ice cubes will be crushed thoroughly, the blender will not overheat and its blades will not be damaged.

One drawback is that they are not ideal for processing large quantities of tough foods or thick liquids. Even though portable blenders are convenient, still need to be cautious when using them so as not to make a mess. This is especially risky when dealing with scalding water or other hot liquids.

The average lifespan for a personal blender is about 5 years, and the best thing you can do to maintain your machine's longevity is to thoroughly clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions every time you use it.

While traditional blenders have a large jug with a lid that sits on top of the base, single-serve NutriBullets have a cup which locks into the base to activate the blender. Basic models only have one speed and no buttons or controls, making them simple to operate.

Portable blenders are typically designed for smoothies, shakes, co*cktails, dressings and more. If you want to make soup, check the manufacturer's soup recipes for instructions on cooling the ingredients before blending.

However, some frozen fruit may lose vitamin C during blanching or have added sugar or ascorbic acid to prevent spoiling. The best way to get the most nutrients from your smoothies is to use either freshly picked fruit or a variety of fruits, both fresh and frozen, and drink it straight after blending.

One of the primary reasons to invest in a portable blender is the convenience it offers. Whether you're rushing to work, hitting the gym, or traveling, a portable blender allows you to make nutritious smoothies, protein shakes, and other blended drinks on the go.

What is the difference between a personal blender and a portable blender? ›

Unlike personal blenders, the blades are often fixed into the bottom of the jar, and you can drink from the top. Portable blenders don't usually have much power and won't produce the best blending results, but they're quiet and useful for blending on the go when you're camping or during your lunch break.

Portable blenders allow you to blend when you are ready to consume, ensuring the smoothest texture. With the portable blender, drinks can be mixed and consumed in the same leakproof container. These small appliances are inexpensive, making them accessible to almost everyone.

Side-by-Side Comparison

The BlendJet 2 is better than the PopBabies Portable Blender. It makes better-blended smoothies and can crush regular-sized ice cubes. It's also better built, quieter when it's running, and significantly easier to clean by hand. However, the PopBabies comes with a dishwasher-safe jar.

The Ninja Blast is a bit better than the BlendJet 2. It's sturdier and quieter and makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients like leafy greens, which is important for well-blended smoothies. However, the BlendJet 2 is much easier to clean by hand.

Blenders are allowed in carry-on bags if the blade has been removed. Any sharp objects in checked bags should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors. For more prohibited items, please go to the 'What Can I Bring?' page.

Thanks to their small size, immersion blenders are helpful for small batch recipes like homemade whipped cream, ganache, and vinaigrettes. Another advantage of the immersion blender is that you can blend ingredients without needing to transfer them.

Cons: Knowing the Limits

Their smaller size means they can't handle large batches as effectively as a countertop blender. While some models with chopper attachments can tackle light chopping tasks, they're not designed to pulverize tough, fibrous ingredients or frozen foods.
