Goodful by Cuisinart Compact Blender Just $25.79 Shipped on Amazon (Regularly $60)

I think this is a superb choice for 1. a space-challenged kitchen 2. someone who may want two types of smoothies, using the disc for protein smoothies, the blade for fruit or green smoothies 3. A neophyte who wants to experiment with smoothies for themselves or children but does not want a larger appliance. The blender container itself holds a generous single (or shared) 20 ounces and it is very comfortable to hold with a to-go handle, Love that you could make two to go, one for breakfast, one post work out. i found that following the suggested order of ingredients did result in a well-blended smoothie without having to stir or readjust the contents halfway through. It was simple and easy to use and clean. I did not have any problem with leaking or adjusting the lids. In fact, my 8-year-old granddaughter and I made her original recipe together with her declaration of “delectable” results. My only disappointment was that the to-go handle was placed too close to the spout for perfection but still comfortable to use. I would purchase this again. It will be my go-to for single smoothies!
