Whether you want cold drinks at home or to take on the go, the Hamilton Beach Thermal Cooler plus Blender is the perfect appliance for summertime and any time.  Mix your drinks directly into the thermal cooler, lift off the base, and take it with you to sporting events, the beach, the park, or even just to the back yard. Your drinks will stay cool for up to EIGHT HOURS and the easy-pour spout makes serving simple.

In addition, you get a regular glass blender jar to use in your kitchen to whip up smoothies, slushies, blended coffee drinks, even pancake and french toast batter. You can even use a blender to mix eggs, cheese and milk before pouring into a skillet for the perfect omelette!

* ½ cup low fat flavored or plain yogurt
* ¼ cup honey
* 2 cups frozen fruit – mixture of choice,
