Juice shops are everywhere in the UAE, but fresh juice at home is cheaper and you control exactly what goes in. A portable blender makes it quick enough for busy mornings.
Why a portable blender?
- Blend and drink from the same cup: less washing up.
- Rechargeable: use it at the gym, office or on a picnic.
- Compact: fits small apartment kitchens.
Portable blenders are best for soft fruit, juices and smoothies. For hard ice or nuts, use a full-size blender.
5 easy recipes
1. Mango lassi smoothie

Tips for better results
- Add liquid first, then soft fruit, then frozen pieces.
- Cut fruit into small pieces.
- Don't overfill; stay below the max line.
- Rinse straight after use with a little water and a drop of soap, then blend for a few seconds.
