Shake ‘N Take personal smoothie maker

June 26th, 2007 by Mike in Kitchen Gadgets

A nice, affordable gadget that makes a fairly simple task a little easier is always nice. And, here comes a shocker, I’ve found a gadget that fits both of those requirements: it’s cheap and simple. The Shake ‘N Take personal smoothie maker is operated by only one button and costs $30. +1 point for Mike!

And, yes, I realize the picture isn’t doing anything for this poor gadget, but I bet it can make appealing looking smoothies too. At least I hope so, as the website doesn’t mention that.

For a quick breakfast smoothie or a snack while you’re running out the door, this thing is perfect. Once you’ve blended your smoothie, just take the cup with you, it even has a spill-proof, flip-top lid. It’ll easily fit in your car’s cup holders as well.

For the price ($30), I think you’re getting a decent product, but I definitively wouldn’t expect to be crushing ice or anything like that. If you’re a daiquiri person as opposed to a smoothie person, this probably isn’t for you,

$30 buys you the Shake ‘N Take personal smoothie maker. Just think, that can buy you healthier breakfasts (donuts aren’t good for you, sorry) on the way to work, or a tasty treat when you’re driving somewhere.

Vita-Mix FTW…. With a 10 year warranty, your only paying ~$500/10 or 50 bucks a year. After that, its 30 bucks a year to renew it. And that thing can make snow out of ice in literally seconds.

Problem with above device is that I doubt it will have enough guts to really blend properly. I can throw a whole, unpeeled apple, seeds and all, in my Vita Mix, add in some whole, unpeeled cumquats, a peeled banana, maybe some strawberries + syrup, and 20 seconds later it is so pureed you could never find the seeds…

IMHO, its not hard to pour it out of a cup. However it takes far longer to properly puree a smoothie. Plus, you can make steaming hot soup in a Vita-Mix in no time… friction for the win.

OMG…who would pitch a vita-mix against a shake-n-take? The have two different purposes. A vita-mix is great for a food processor, juicer or blender. But its HEAVY. A shake-n-take is small & portable. Great for parents with disabled kids who need to blend all food for their child. Just throw it in your bag & go.
