Portable blenders allow you to continue to make the same healthy smoothies you love even while you’re away from home. Most of them blend directly into the same cup that you’ll drink your smoothie from. In this article, we’ll tell you about a few of our favorite portable blenders. We’ll make sure you know everything about the blades, the blending speeds, and how you’ll clean your cups. 

Are the blending cups dishwasher safe?

Most cups are perfectly safe to clean in your dishwasher. In some cases, you may need to make sure the cup stays on the top rack. You might also want to make sure that food isn’t caught between the blades, or in other hard-to-reach corners of your cup. 

How much can each blender/cup hold?

Most cups will hold 13 or 14 ounces of liquid at one time. Keep in mind that your smoothies may be a little smaller, since your ingredients will need open space inside the cup for mixing while the smoothie is blending. There is one cup on this list that has a larger capacity, and can hold up to 18 ounces at one time. We’ll make sure to point this one out for you once we get there.  

Before we get into the individual items, we want to make sure you know what factors to consider when picking out your new personal blender. Here are a few of the main things you’ll want to keep in mind:

Includes Reusable Silicone Straws

 You can pop the bottle cap to drink directly from the bottle, or you can use one of the straws inside the same hole if you like. This bottle is the same one that you’ll blend inside, so you won’t have to worry about getting too many dishes dirty or bringing extra pieces with you when you travel.

Does Not Spin When Opened

This blender’s software will not allow the device to function unless all pieces are properly attached and tightened. The red arrow must be lined up with the switch, and the base needs to be fully tightened each time.
