Since I travel for my work at least 4 days a week I am looking for a small blender or smoothy maker that will fit in the checked bag. Any one have any suggestions?

The Magic Bullet is perfect for such a situation! It is half the price on Amazon.com, as I've seen it in the stores. Love mine.

Tribest, available at Amazon. I love mine, can't live without it.

I love my Magic Bullet! It's so convenient and I got mine off EBAY.

NINJA, available at walmart and the one I bought here in Oregon was $39 with two size pitchers. One about the size of a small chopper. This thing in wonderful, I have used the majic bullet and hated it. The power of the ninja is great and it takes only seconds to get things nice and chopped/blended.

if you have a costco membership or know someone who does they have the 20+ piece for the magic bullet with their monthly coupon! Here in Texas I paid ~$35 plus taxes for it, it comes with two take along mugs (along with sipping lids) as well as many other things. I am going to buy me another one to keep at school. It works great! I tried the Bella one from Target too but its not as good so I am taking it back.

I have the magic bullet specifically for travel and work. I use the Kitchen ninja at home (my favorite) but the bullet does a great job too

I have and really like the magic bullet! Got it at Costco with all the extras for $45

Thank you so much for the suggestions. Isn't America great to offer so many types! It may come down to what is the lightest since it must be carried in a suitcase. Perhaps the Mother's Day angel will decide for me!
