Our Story | BLENDi Portable Blenders

Our Story — BLENDi

BLENDi started with one goal: make blending possible anywhere. The idea came from a simple problem — traditional blenders were bulky, loud, and tied to a wall outlet. There was no good option for fast smoothies, protein shakes, or iced drinks while traveling, commuting, or going to the gym.

The first BLENDi prototype was built by a college founder in a dorm room. It was small, rechargeable, and powerful enough to blend fruit in seconds. That single idea turned into a portable blender company that now serves customers nationwide.

Today, BLENDi offers compact blenders designed for daily use. The BLENDi Lite Portable Blender is built for daily shakes and travel convenience, while the BLENDi Pro+ Ice Crushing Blender delivers more power for frozen fruit and ice. We also offer Zero Calorie Mocktail Mixes for easy, low-sugar drinks that pair perfectly with every blender.

BLENDi products are used by students, parents, athletes, travelers, and people who simply want a quick, clean way to make healthy drinks without hauling out a traditional blender.

Our commitment is simple:

  • Make healthy habits easier.

  • Design products that get used every day, not stored away.

  • Provide fast, honest customer support.

BLENDi is proof that a small idea can turn into something meaningful when you solve a real problem. Whether you’re blending at home, in the office, in a hotel room, or on the go — BLENDi exists to go with you.
