For Valentine’s Day, I received a BlendJet2 and it has been my newest obsession. The whole concept of this blender is to make the process of making smoothies as easy as possible. I love making smoothies and I made one almost every day during the Summer. However, I hated having to clean that bulky blender. With this, you just need a drop of soap and water to blend together. The features of this are; portable, powerful, and USB chargeable. It makes about one serving and is not completely quiet, so do not use it at 6 am or 1 am. I love using it in the morning (since I do not like coffee), a mid-day snack, or for dessert. I love coming up with new smoothie recipes and they have a Facebook group that shares recipes if you need inspo. I also used code NAZ12 from my favorite Youtuber, Nazanin Kavari, for money off. If you use that coupon, though, you cannot get the free smoothie packs.
