Non-Electric Portable Blender, 16 Ounce, Green

One of my favorite purchases I’ve ever made! I make smoothies and protein shakes daily but having to take out the blender and then clean it makes it a pain in the butt this thing makes it so simple! I will say using fresh or thawed fruit is a must! And adding ice doesn’t always work very well! But over all I love this thing!!

I got this because of the good reviews but it's not all I hoped it to be. I mainly use this to make my protein shakes but it takes while to mix my whole shake and it still leaves clumps. I have to put in one scoop of powder then add some water, mix it then put in my other scoop of powder add more water and mix it again to get my shake to mix with minimum clumps. However it still turn out to be sort of clumpy. with doing all of this it sort of defeats the purpose of making in on the go. I can't rely on just throwing my ingredients in the cup and walking out the door for work every morning to mix it on the go. It's still time consuming.

Like can mix without electricity. Mixing vanes near bottom so can mix small quantity. But is difficult to clean inside becausemixture sticks to plastic andMixture get stuck in ridges. Maybe ridges are structural or disrupt centrifugal flow but maybe 1 thicker ridge would be enough. Think would be easier if clear plastic like Brita picher.Most needed improvement is mechanism to hold spout cover open during pour. There are 2 ears on top that may have been designed for that purpose but either ears are not wide enough or spout cover is not wide enough to contact each other.

I make myself a breakfast smoothie every day, and when I go out of town, especially camping, it's really hard going without. I tried packing my immersion blender, and it's a pain.This is a good enough substitute. My usual recipe includes ground flax, ground chia, protein powder, ground spices, banana, berries, and spinach. The only thing I think this falls short on is the spinach. I'm basically ending up with chunks of it that I have to chew, and that kinda sucks. But to be able to do almost everything in my regular smoothie is awesome, and this handled the berries, banana, and seeds like a champ. I guess I'd just recommend leaving out the greens if you're gonna use this. But for my purposes, this'll do just fine.

It's best used as a regular shaker bottle without rolling it, for you protein powder, that's built to last and with great design.it will blend soft fruit like a banana, or cubed watermelon.It's better to just eat the fruit, less effort also.Don't get your hopes up for anything more...-SMITH

Only for those who like to chew their smoothies...this is nothing more than a manual blender, it's impossible for the human hand to make smoothies like a machine...this thing doesn't even chop ice....a waste of money

I got this because we dont have blender or space for one at work. I put my frozen fruit and a spot of juice in but not blended when I leave the house. By the time of my morning meeting the frit is at the sweet spot and I blend it on my desk with my powder. I love it.

I like the way it works and how easy it is to blend pretty much anything I want. I didn't like how you are unable to take out the blades to properly clean the bottle. High pressure water will do the trick though.
