What's your favorite compact, small blender for making smoothies?

[maslex]

I've been thinking about getting a small compact blender to make a smoothie that I can make in the morning and bring with me to work (I drive a school bus so I'd be drinking it throughout the morning)

I don't need one regular sized Ninja or Vitamix although I'm sure those are fantastic. So just something like a Magic Bullet or something of the like. And I'd prefer if it's great with frozen fruit or ice.

And if you have a few favorite smoothie/protein drinks that you love, please share the recipe. Thanks!

My mom got me a cheap as heck Bella brand rocket blender for college and that thing actually held up for 15+ years.

Nutribullet. I've had it and used it for years now.

We are on our second magic bullet, my kids use it every day for smoothies and protein shakes and have for many years.

I've been using the Nutribullet for years now, I've gone through at least 3 because they only come with one blender blade and the seal on that seems to shrink eventually, allowing funk to grow underneath. It comes with a flat blade too but that one doesn't work for ice and frozen fruit.

We have a Magic Bullet.

NutriBullet Pro 900: This blender is powerful and compact, making it a great choice for making smoothies on the go. Use this one

Agree. I've been making almost daily smoothies for over 10 years. This is the one you want.

The blade will last about 3 years with daily (heavy) use. Absolutely pulverizes frozen fruits, even seeded berries like raspberries and blackberries. Replacement blades are cheap on Amazon.

You can buy just the replacement blades on their website and Amazon. They are around $30.

Cuisinart Compact Portable Blending/Chopping System

Came with a 32 oz. blender cup, 16 oz. cups you can blend in with travel lids, and a small 8 oz. blend/chop cup, a chopping/blending blade and a flat blade.

It's a BEAST on ice.
