Best Mini-Blender for Green Smoothies

I'm trying to figure out which of the mini-blenders out there (TriBest, Magic Bullet, Bella Cucina, etc) is the best for green smoothies.

I'd only be getting the mini-blender so I could make green smoothies while traveling, so I'm not really interested in any other features, just the one that is the best for green smoothies.

Does anyone have experience making green smoothies with a mini-blender?

Thanks!

    My sister has the Magic Bullet. If you're only going to make a small smoothie it works fine. I make two or three smoothies a day so it's not practical for me to get a small blender. Is there a reason you just want to get a small one?

    Thanks Smoothiedrinker. I would only use it for traveling (I have a Vitamix at home), since I don't want to be without green smoothies while out of town.

    Can the Magic Bullet handle making 3-4 green smoothies in a row? Or does it burn out?

    Hi, I travel with a Magic Bullet for my green smoothies, my nut butters, to grind my chia seeds, to grind my coffee beans for my one cup of coffee a day (I know not raw, but I have one cup a day). I also travel with a mini L'equip juicer. My travel is so much more stress-free when I carry these two appliances with me. I do put them both in a hard side carry-on after some jerk luggage handler probably stood on my case (or I think that is what happened. It is heavily steel sided and we had to stomp on it to straighten it back out. The basket for my juicer was badly bent when the damage occurred to my case. Just a cautionary note. I do have a delay at security after they x-ray my carry on, but I know they are secure with me and the delay is worth it. What if I made it to my location and my checked bag did not? That has happened to me and many others. The Magic has at least a quart jar and I just pack it with underclothes, etc., in it so it is not taking up any room, really. I also cram the little container for grinding with stuff, so the only space displacement in the bag is the motor unit. I really like the Bullet.

    I realize you said you were interested in the one function - for green smoothies - but I added the other stuff in case some other traveler might find it useful.
