OMG!!! I FINALLY HAVE A 12V POWERED BLENDER!!

I haven't been so excited about a piece of tech in aggggeees! When we were living on travellers sites back in the early 2000's we would have killed for a USB charged 12V blender but they just weren't really invented yet. But now they are! Woo hoo! Bring the time machine, I'm taking a crate back to 1999!!!

A handful of berries, or mango, or banana, maybe some probiotic rich yoghurt, and some water and lime juice - it's a yummy breakfast! So going travelling in Tassie meant no blender = no smoothies. Damn. <p dir="auto">But hey, it's 2024, and theres a whole WEALTH of 12v lithium powered smoothie machines out there. If you can wade through all the fake reviews maybe you'll find a decent one. The Blendjet 2 seemed to fit the bill, and better yet, it was only $30 AUD on a Black Friday discount. The postage was apalling and I had to wait two weeks, but hey, it's here now! <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/DQmbmHzeJ3gQNSBaD2d6wz8Xky7jN2RFSZzfR9MAEhHCUza/image.png" alt="image.png" /> <p dir="auto">I had my doubhts but it did me a smoothie no problem. They say about 15 x 40 second shots before you need to recharge. I think I'll use it instead of my ordinary Optimum 9000 blender which is so big for just a single smoothie. <p dir="auto">It even finished off my coriander chutney for me, which the big blender wasn't handling. So as long as there's a bit of liquid in there and the greens are finely chopped, it'll blend them into a smmoooooth paste as well. The chutney is basically a tomato, a birds eye chilli, some lemon juice, salt and olive oil - this is going over my roast beetroot, roast potato, and roast zucchini tonight, topped with a salmon steak. <p dir="auto">Damn. Life can be good! <p dir="auto"><center> <h1><code>With Love, <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riverflows/23t6xT1abr5kFMeEirKwZ2QqT6MK9U4SBpKCQZAjVEojgm7uSSGL9AJSuwtBsUmMAV5jv.png" alt="image.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riverflows/23t6xT1abr5kFMeEirKwZ2QqT6MK9U4SBpKCQZAjVEojgm7uSSGL9AJSuwtBsUmMAV5jv.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riverflows/23t6xT1abr5kFMeEirKwZ2QqT6MK9U4SBpKCQZAjVEojgm7uSSGL9AJSuwtBsUmMAV5jv.png 2x" /> <p dir="auto"><strong>Are you on HIVE yet?
