00:00So I finally cracked the code on morning smoothies and it wasn't a fancy countertop
00:04machine taking up half my kitchen. It was a blender I could literally throw in my bag.
00:10I've spent the last few weeks testing portable blenders, digging through reviews,
00:14and hunting down the best deals out there, and these five are the ones that actually earned
00:18their spot. Let's get into it. First up is the high-power portable blender cup,
00:24and this one is the heavyweight of the group, literally. The standout here is the ice-crushing
00:29function, which is honestly rare in a portable blender. Most of these little guys choke on
00:35frozen fruit, but this motor just chews right through it. It's also got a much bigger capacity,
00:40so if you're making smoothies for two or you're the kind of person who wants a full 24 ounces,
00:45not a sad little cup, this is your pick. At $429.24 it's definitely the premium option,
00:52but with over 4,700 sold and a 4.7 rating, people clearly think it's worth it.
00:58If you drink smoothies daily, this is a buy-once situation.
01:02Next is the 700ml 2-in-1 blender bottle juicer, and what I love about this one is the 12
01:08-blade setup.
01:0912. That's what lets it pulverize leafy greens and berries into something actually smooth instead
01:15of gritty. The 2-in-1 design means it works as a blender and as a juicer cup, so you're
01:21not carrying
01:21two things around. It comes in a bunch of colors too, which sounds minor until you're grabbing the
01:27wrong bottle at the gym every day. At $170.16 it sits comfortably in the middle, and with 4,564
01:36sold it's got a real track record behind it. Coming in at number 3, the personal size 16-ounce
01:42mini blender, and this is the one I'd hand to a total beginner. The headline number is 26,000
01:48revolutions per minute, which is genuinely fast for something this small, and it shreds
01:52through a frozen banana without you having to shake it around like a maniac. It's cordless
01:57and rechargeable, and it ships with two lids, an on-the-go lid and a sip lid, so it doubles
02:02as your water bottle after you're done. At $79.27 with a 4.6 rating, this is the sweet spot
02:09between price and performance for most people.
02:12Number 4 is the portable USB personal mini juicer cup, and this one has the highest rating
02:17on my entire list of 4.9 from over 4,400 buyers. That doesn't happen by accident.
02:25The clever part is the single and double cup option and the fact that it screws onto standard
02:29water bottles, so you're not locked into one container. Charge it over USB from your laptop,
02:35your car, a power bank, whatever. For $88.33, you're getting a near-perfect rating and the
02:43most flexible setup here. If you travel a lot, this is the one I'd throw in a carry-on.
02:49And rounding it out at number 5, the USB rechargeable 12-blade juicer cup, the budget champion.
02:55At just $72.48, it's the cheapest on this list, and yet it's also sitting at a 4.9 rating
03:02with over
03:024,300 sold. It's got the same 12-blade design as the pricier models, it charges over USB,
03:09and it's small enough to live permanently in your desk drawer at work. Honestly, if you're not sure
03:15whether the portable blender life is for you, start here. It's the lowest-risk way to find out,
03:20and most people never end up needing to upgrade. All 5 links are down in the description,
03:26and I've made sure they're the best prices I could find. If this helped you out, do me a favor
