I love this portable blender!! It makes making my smoothies and protein drinks so much easier! The color is lovely as well, it's a mixture of teal blue and mint green. It's definitely a must for on the go. I'm in college and this has made my life so much easier. It holds a nice charge and I feel like it blends everything really nicely if you follow the instructions and don't overfill it. I really like that it has cover for the blade you can twist on and off when the blade is not in use. I am very impressed and would definitely recommend it, it would be a great gift for a busy college student!
