Traditional blenders are large, heavy kitchen appliances that are powered through a connection to an electrical power outlet. Because of these physical characteristics and electrical power requirements, traditional blenders are not easily transportable and have limited use outside of the kitchen environment. Furthermore, traditional blenders are not modular in nature. That is, they cannot be disassembled and reassembled into different configurations appropriate for different uses or users.
It would be desirable to have a compact, lightweight, easily transportable blender that is capable of operating independent of an electrical power outlet. It would also be desirable to have a compact, lightweight, easily transportable blender that is capable of being assembled into different configurations. Embodiments of such a portable blender are described herein.
