Portable blender/liquidiser... is there such a thing?

[hackneyzoo]

DS (12 months) is on a liquid only diet for the next few months. I have a kenwood blender at home which is brilliant for liquifing, but is there such a thing as a portable liquidiser that I could carry round in my handbag? If so where would I find such a thing? Have searched the internet but not come up with much.

Thanks in advance, I am going to be awol for a few days but will be back here in the hope of an answer to my search

bump

anyone?

no ideas I'm afraid apart from wondering if someone in the special needs topic might be able to help?

Depending on how big your handbag is, would a hand-held one be suitable?

Umm, why not carry around liquified food in a coolbag rather than a portable blender???

Blue champagne, someone told me you could get mini ones where I could just blend what we are eating iyswim.

Lionstar, because I want to give my dc fresh food and blended stuff tends to congeal after a while and also that way he can eat what the rest of the family are having.

Thanks Boo, hadn't thought of trying the SN topic

something like this?

mini blender

don't get the annabel karmel foodmill, i've seen loads of people on here complaining about it. would you be able to mash with a fork and add milk, or wouldn't that be smooth enough? or take a masher?

Thanks Seoan, the babydan thing is the sort of thing I'm after.

Aitch, I will steer clear of the Annabel foodmill, thanks for the advice. I have been mashing with a fork, but DS now needs everything to be completely smooth as he has an obstruction to his esophagus and chokes on anything else.

get well soon, young master hackneyzoo.

hackneyzoo, that babydan mill looks suspiciously like the Annabel Karmel one I had.
I did see a little blender somewhere online which ran on a car cigarette lighter, will see if I can find it........

I keep finding the Coleman portable blender on US sites but can't find it in the UK.

Thanks Aitch and Chipmonkey....maybe I will just stick to my trusty fork!

i suppose that if you're out in a restaurant you will absolutely always be able to ask them to puree food for you so that your son can dine with you. likewise if you're at a pal's house. when do you think you'd most need it?

was just thinking of when we are out and about for the day or visiting GPs for the weekend/on holiday, that sort of thing...but saying that I don't have any holidays planned for the near future! I can get by without fine, such an invention would just be handy

Rechargable Blender?

Had'nt thought of that... thanks mynewplans, think this might be the solution

oh yes, of course! that's great!

Check out the review, though, they don't look that good, especially the one where it says you can't use it away from the main power source.

veh true. although have just googled 'cordless blender' and there seem to be heaps.
