Smoobo Blender is a fun and environmentally friendly way to make smoothies.

The ‘smoobo blender’ is enjoyable and easy to use. Simply open the blender, put the ingredients inside and bounce. Each bounce activates the kinetic batteries, which in turn power the rotary blades to create a perfectly blended smoothie that can be enjoyed by opening the pouring cap. The Smoobo’s nodular exterior makes bouncing unpredictably fun!

Designed by Roseanne de Bruin, the Smoobo idea came to her while sitting on a park bench watching a child bouncing a basketball.

The Smoobo Blender by Roseanne de Bruin of New Zealand is one of eight finalists in the Electrolux Design Lab contest. The winner will be chosen at a live event in London on 7th September 2011.
