Summer Sips with the Blendjet
We are in the process of exploring personal blenders and began our sipping journey with the powerful, compact, and irresistible Blendjet. It was love at first sip with this portable little wonder which easily packs into a lunch bag, a tote or a suitcase. The Blendjet is wireless, rechargeable and lightweight, and can travel anywhere that an imagination will take it. Once closed, it is leakproof. Just prepare the drink at home and take it along ..ready to whirr!
The Blendjet is also a perfect little helper to make small portions of dips, sauces, and dressings. But, our favorite use is creating sips just for us! Yes, it's coming to the beach with us and we'll be sipping on the sand. And, one is soon on its way to a seminary in Israel. OMG wait until you see 6 luscious colors. Yes, you can mix them up -- one for dairy and one for parve drinks.
