Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender
The Hamilton Beach Personal Blender allows you to bring your shake or smoothie with you on the go. The blending jar actually doubles as a travel mug, complete with a lid. As such, you can blend your creation in the same mug you take with you.
You only need to remove the jar from its base and head out the door. It even comes with a lid to keep your creation from spilling on your commute.
Who Is This Product For?
This blender is ideal for anyone who has smoothies or protein shakes as part of their regular, everyday diet. It also works for anybody who is on the go, as it allows you to take your blended creation with you, given that the blending jar doubles as a travel mug with a lid.
The Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender is also easy to use and can be mastered by virtually anyone. It blends with just the touch o f a button.
Additionally, it also works really well for anyone who is trying to get and stay healthy. Smoothies can make for a tasty way to get the necessary intake of fruits and vegetables.
However, making smoothies with other blenders can often be cumbersome. They require you to carry additional jars with you and to clean multiple jars and cups. That can often get in the way of keeping with your nutritional goals. With this blender, staying on track is easier.
What’s Included?
With this purchase, you receive the blender with the jar that can be used during stationary blending mode and as a travel mug. You’ll also receive a lid to use when using the travel mug.
Overview of Features
The blender's plastic jar makes it simple to bring smoothies, milkshakes, and protein shakes with you. It has a compact size of about 14 ounces and is BPA-free in the food zones.
Both the lid and the jar are safe to put in the dishwasher. The product serves as both a detachable travel mug with lid as well as a stationary blending jar, but it is not for use with hot beverages.
The motor uses 175 watts of power. It is capable of crushing ice to make shakes, smoothies, marinades, baby formula, and salad dressings.
Blending can be done by pushing just one button with an on/pulse label. On the other hand, the blades are made of stainless steel for extra durability.
Additionally, there are several color options available. You can purchase this single-serve blender in black, red, raspberry, blue, and white. What is better is that the cord wraps right around the base of the blender for easy cleanup and storage.
Tutorial on How to Use the Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender
This blender is quite easy to use. To do so, clean the jar. Cut the ingredients and place them in the jar.
Attach the jar to the motor, cover, and then push the switch button. Once done, detach the stationary jar and use it as a travel mug.

Alternatives
There are very few drawbacks to this product. One is that it only comes with one travel mug. This means you have to wash it after every use to use it again.
It is helpful that everything is dishwasher safe, but if you aren’t planning on running your dishwasher, you’ll have to wash the jar by hand to use it again. Having one jar also poses a challenge if you damage or misplace that jar, given that you have no replacement.
One alternative, then, is the Hamilton Beach Personal Blender with two jars. This is the same product, but it comes with two jars instead of one. You are only able to get this model in white, though. The other colors are only available in the one-jar model.
The other drawback of the Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender is that it is not very powerful. You aren’t going to be able to blend large pieces of anything frozen. There are plenty of powerful blenders on the market if you are looking for something that is more equipped for blending larger and harder ingredients.
One of these is the Ninja Professional Countertop Blender. You will get 1100 watts of power with this alternative, but you cannot use the blender as a travel mug. It is also a much pricier option, but it does hold 72 ounces and comes with two individual cups; both of which hold 16 ounces.
Nonetheless, you shouldn’t really have trouble blending even frozen fruits with the Ninja alternative. You’ll also be able to hold a bit more in each of the individual cups.
Conclusion
A single-serve blender can make it easy to blend up just the right amount of mixture needed for your smoothie or shake. This particular model makes it even easier given that the jar you blend in doubles as a travel jar and lid.
This model is not the most powerful you can find on the market, but it does work well enough to blend up a smoothie or protein shake, and then you can leave the house quickly. You can even buy the same model with two jars included for even more versatility and ease of use.
This is a great product for anyone who wants to stick with their nutritional goals but is also often on the go.
