Anyone have a good blender they like for smallish (<20 oz.) breakfast smoothies?

My wife makes herself a breakfast smoothie a few times a week with frozen bananas, other fruits, almond milk, and protein power. She's been using a NutriBullet which works okay, but it requires removing the container and shaking several times to get all the to the bottom so it will blend

Is there a better blender for the above use? Preferably one that has few, small parts when compared to your typical, full-size blender?

This. I have a Vitamix for larger jobs but for smaller amounts I still go with the Ninja.

Bought a Ninja BL610 (72 oz) about a month ago and pretty pleased. The vertical "blades of blood and death" are a little hard to handle for cleaning. You just have to be careful handling it.

But for the price, the smoothie-ness of the blended concoction is great.

Blentec with smaller jar is perfect

Could also get the vitamix with blender attachment

I bought a commercial blender very similar to the one below a few years ago. The thing I like about it over a Ninja is that it doesn't have set speeds -- it is on a rotation -- sort of continuously variable. I turn it on and turn it to the speed I want, let it run, then turn if down or off. It has worked great, but it isn't small by any stretch. You might need to find a place to put the container.

Anyway, here's the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/WantJoin-Professional-blender-Commercial-Blender/dp/B08KZPPKR9/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1VPLKD3OCXN3Q&keywords=commercial+blender&qid=1661755998&sprefix=commercial+blender%2Caps%2C75&sr=8-6#customerReviews

They don't sell mine anymore. I suspect they won't sell this one in a few years either.
