Design wise the body is nice and contemporary in its styling with a stainless-steel body and lightweight Tritan jug made from copolyester. This material feels noticeably lighter than your average glass jug and has been designed to reduce odour transfer and staining after each blend - this comes in particularly handy if you're using the blender to mix up warmer ingredients for soups. Portable blenders are powered by USB connection, so they're rechargeable through a mains plug, power bank, laptop or even a car charger, allowing you to whip up your favourite smoothies on the go. The Philips Daily Collection Mini Blender is powerful enough to blend fruit, vegetables, nuts, coffee and even meat with ease, and thanks to its small footprint it won’t take up that much room on your worktop either. Naturally, a portable blender isn't as powerful as the large designs for kitchen use and they usually have enough room to blend one drink. With their low voltage and wattage, it's best to chop your fruit into smaller chunks too. And remember that a portable blender might not give you the same smooth results as your powerful kitchen worktop gadget. What are the best portable blenders?Set up is straightforward – once you’ve loaded your ingredients into one of the 700ml cups, you screw on the powerful Pro Extractor Blade lid and fix it in position on top of the base. You can choose from manual settings, that you can stop and start at your own leisure, and use pulse controls too. Or you can opt for the intuitive ‘Auto-IQ’ one-touch programs, that work for a set time and limit the guesswork. Choose from the likes of the 50-second Blend setting, that works well for drinks with ice and frozen ingredients, or the 60-second Max Blend setting, which is good for use on ingredients with skins or items such as seeds and nuts. The difference between a smoothie maker and a blender is that smoothie makers make one drink at a time to minimise waste. Once your smoothie is ready, the jug turns into a cup, so you can grab and go. You'll also expect your portable blender to be, well, portable, as well as light and compact because otherwise, what's the point?

Pros: Hot and cold presets; cleaning mode; tamper included Cons: Bulky 5.6kg weight; jug cannot be submerged in waterPros: Choice of manual and pre-programmed settings; Tritan jars; large capacity; on the go jug. Cons: Quite bulky on the worktop Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. If you’re in the market for a powerful, versatile blender that can chop, pulse and whizz through anything from fruits and veggies to nuts and ice cubes, then it’s worth saving up for the Boss To Go. This well-built and chic-looking blender is a cut above the average; fire up the Boss to Go’s 1000W motor, and it scythes through fruit and vegetables alike to create smooth, delicious soups, shakes and smoothies in a matter of seconds.

Key specs – Jug capacity: 500ml; Motor power: 1000 watts; Speed settings: 2; Size: 960 x 400 x 145mm You will have to take care when cleaning up as the jug can't be submerged in water, but it does have a useful pre-set cleaning mode built in to minimise on the washing up. With its powerful 1000W motor, it's not the quietest blender on the market either - we found it reached up to 106 decibels in our test. At 1,600W and with Tefal's ‘Powelix Life Blade Technology’, the Infiny Mix is a high-speed design that can carry out a number of blending tasks with pre-programmed one-touch buttons. Choose from specific settings on its stylish and nicely illuminated LED display for Smoothies, Ice crush, Sorbets and Dessert. There’s also a setting to make cleaning the jug easy – we simply placed a tiny drop of washing up liquid in water and pressed the clean setting to dislodge any ingredients under the blade, then gave it a rinse with fresh water. Plastic jugs are lighter in weight but can become scratched and absorb odours over time. Glass jugs, on the other hand, are sturdier and more aesthetically pleasing, but can be very heavy when full. A high-quality BPA-free plastic such as Tritan is strong, light and looks like glass, offering the best of both worlds – but it can be pricey.In testing, the Nutribullet’s high-speed blades had no trouble with fibrous vegetables, nuts or seeds, whipping up a classic green smoothie in fewer than 30 seconds. Every smoothie or sauce blitzed came out silky-smooth and bright. What’s more, we found that smoothies made in the Nutribullet appeared to keep their colour and freshness for longer than those made in cheaper models. The majority of blenders offer multiple speed settings, which deliver better control over consistency when blending different ingredients. Most have at least two speeds, allowing smoother or chunkier blends; some also have programs designed for specific tasks, such as milkshakes or crushing ice. (We don’t recommend crushing ice in a blender that isn’t designed for the purpose, since it can blunt the blades). Kenwood’s Blend-X Pro blitzes with six reinforced blades made of aerospace-grade stainless steel, reaching speeds of up to 30,000rpm using a variable speed dial for precise blending control. This is a blender that means business. If you want a blender to take with you to the gym (or to purée baby food on the go) then a cordless blender in a more compact form will better suit your needs. Rechargeable cordless blenders are smaller and neater, but premium models can be as powerful and fully featured as their worktop counterparts. How many speed settings do I need? Travel, or portable blenders, are perfect for taking on camping trips, day trips or hikes and other holiday adventures - or simply carrying with you to the gym for post-workout refreshment.
