This portable blender is an all-in-one device, so you can blend, sip, and pack the whole thing in your gym bag. The device locks to prevent leaks or accidental blending. Just switch on and shake, resulting in a nice smooth drink seconds later.

We particularly love this device because it can charge while blending, and can support over 20 blends in a single charge. The cup is also detachable, perfect to take on the go without having to worry about clean up after.
