1. Breville Blend Active Personal Blender
The best and most affordable blender for your “on the go” lifestyle. The best characteristic of this blender is its quick and easy, pop in your favourite ingredients, and blend! Also ideal for your gym sessions, on route to work or school, or just enjoying an active lifestyle and you require something quick and easy. Best of all, no matter the ingredients, it blends within seconds!

This blender is one of the easiest, hassle-free blenders I have ever used.
It is light in weight, so you can move it around your kitchen, or anywhere in your home wherever you have a socket! You can even pack it with you when you’re on the go, travelling to work, the gym or social gatherings as the bottle is a good size and will not take up too much space…
Not only is it great for everyday use, but it is also available in different and fun colours. However, my personal favourite is the Black & Rose gold design, as it has a more expensive attire and looks great on our kitchen counter
I usually blend fruits with ice to make pure fruit juice, or I blend my protein shakes, Iced coffee and a lot more… you can pretty much utilize this blender for the everyday types of drinks, smoothies, protein shake ec
Furthermore, if you want to leave it out on your kitchen counter, or store it away in your cupboard, it’s not an issue as the product is compact and can easily be stored away.
I was not disappointed with this purchase at all, and as an added bonus, it fits in great with my kitchen.
Best part of all (as we all know this is the part we dread the most)… it is in fact, SO easy to clean.
Pros & cons
- I emphasise that is ideal for someone who enjoys an “on-the-go” lifestyle and not for someone who needs a blender for their home cooking
- Perfect for someone who does not want to spend a lot of time blending their smoothies as it is very easy and quick
- Easy to clean for someone who does not want to spend too much time soaking and scrubbing
- Not suited for someone who would be making smoothies/drinks for more than two people on a day-to-day basis, as you would need several bottles, which also means more cleaning!
- Cannot be used as a food processor
