Our Favorite Portable Blenders and Smoothie Recipes for an Easier and More Efficient Morning
No more lugging out that old heavy blender with these lightweight and portable options.
We only recommend things we love. If you buy something through our site, we might earn a commission.
While everything has slowed down a little in the last year, we have still managed to maintain our fast-paced lives. It’s can be hard to make time for ourselves while also getting the nutrition we need. Even while working from home, I find myself returning to TV lunches in between meetings and errands. We all know that smoothies are a great way to get a quick dose of fruits and vegetables, but we need something that fits into our routine rather than adding time to it (smoothie prep can be time-consuming). That’s why we’ve rounded up six of our favorite portable blenders that will make your blending that much easier without adding to your schedule; we’ve also included our favorite smoothie recipes to add a few more sipping options to your rotation. Check them out below!
