Best Mini Blenders

Mini Blenders are versatile in many ways. Whether you are making a single serve smoothie for yourself or a small serving of salsa for your party, a mini blender is a welcome addition to any kitchen. Mini Blenders are milkshake makers, smoothie makers and personal blenders or even a mini hand blender! You can use a mini blender to chop, mix, whip or blend. Using a mini blender eliminates the excess waste you would need for a larger blender. Mini blenders perform just as well as their larger cousins but for those of us who need to make smaller portions they are the perfect size for our needs and take up much less space in our kitchens and are an attractive addition to your counter tops. Mini blenders or single serve blenders makes it easier for you to make a single healthy drink right in the drinking cup saving you time and clean up. Many also come with travel cups and are portable. When purchasing a mini blender there are some important characteristics to look for. Not only should the mini blender be the style that is attractive to you, it should have enough power to do the job you need it for. Many mini blenders have the same amount of power as the larger blenders even though they are smaller. Especially if you are making smoothies since ice is a difficult ingredient to crush. The base of the blender should be stable and slip resistant. This will prevent the blender from slipping and spilling or toppling over when you are blending at a high speed. This will prevent you from having to hold the blender while it is on, which can be awkward at best. Mini blenders are also designed to clean easily which is a big plus. Safety features are also very important. Make sure that the blades lock in place during blending or are covered to avoid injury. Many blenders will not work unless the blades are locked in place. There are also many accessories that you can purchase for a mini blender, such as additional cups and blades, travel cups and larger size mixing cups to accommodate those larger recipes.
