I received my Hamilton Beach Smoothie Blender with 2 Travel jars and lids and have been experimenting with different drinks. It is perfect for smoothies and shakes. I personally love flavored iced coffees but my son loves smoothies. Since it comes with 2 blender jars and lids: I can make what I want and my son can make what he wants. We just put on the travel lids and go off to work or errands. It very versatile, easy to clean and easy to use. (dishwasher safe)
