It’s always a great day when we get to test out anything that’ll make drinking even more fun and more convenient for us. This week, the latest trendy we’re covering in our beloved series is around portable blenders for personal use…on the go. Drinking while hiking? Yes please!
We’ve reviewed blenders in the past, but that was more for your kitchen counter and a giant piece of appliance machinery. Ok, not as dramatic as that, but still. With folks working from home, working out from home, and spending more time outdoors (hiking, jogging, running, walking and drinking) everyone seems to be taking their favorite blended beverages on the go. And since you’re not going to lug a big kitchen appliance around with you, portable blenders are the way to go.
They’ve been reviewed by experts for a few years now, but recently they’ve really come a long way. One of the up-and-coming brands in this space that’s crushing it on Amazon is Supkitdin (and it’s our personal favorite – see below).
When it comes to portable there are really a couple of different things to keep in mind.
- Fully Portable
- Travel Style
Fully portable means you can basically blend on-the-go and you don’t have to plug it in – they’re usually rechargeable via USB. Travel style typically plugs in to use, but the size is just for you (personal-size) and comes with a travel cup so you can take it with you when you’re out and about.
Just keep in mind that since they’re not a full-sized blender they may not be able to do everything your original can. But don’t worry they can still make some great things like:
- Smoothies
- Milk Shakes
- Baby Formula
- Vegetable Juices
- Mixed Adult Beverages (We’re Talking Margaritas!)
Besides how convenient these are (and easy to use) most are really easy to clean. Just make sure the one you choose can be cleaned the way you want to be. Some are dishwasher safe and others must be cleaned by hand. We’re kind of lazy so we really needed ours to be dishwasher safe.
On a personal level, we use ours for personal smoothies (protein added) for pre and post workouts. It’s really way easier and so much more convenient then lugging out our kitchen appliance, plus it’s good for when we go for a run. We’re not huge campers, but our friends who are avid campers are now swearing by these.
This was an easy one for us. We use ours regularly and are kind of hooked on it. Plus, if you end up not using it after a while it’s not a huge deal as most of these will only run you (on average) anywhere between $18 – $25. So, do we recommend going with a personal portable blender? We say, do it!
