Is the Portable Blender Bottle worth it?
Worth it for some. Worth it if you'll actually make a shake every day; the brand version is the one that lasts.
A portable blender is worth it for single-serve smoothies and protein shakes at work, the gym or a dorm; it handles soft fruit and ice from a drink, and the known-brand versions blend frozen fruit that the cheap ones stall on.
Buy it if you…
- Protein-shake and smoothie people on the move
- Dorm rooms and small offices
Skip it if you…
- Family-size batches or nut butters
- Blending hard ice cubes in a no-name unit
Questions people ask
Can it crush ice?
Brand units crush small ice from a drink. Budget ones stall; add liquid first and use frozen fruit instead.
How many blends per charge?
Typically 10–15 blends
