well, this is a great idea to make a smoothie but, are there anyother ways to make one without a blender?

As an alternative to a fork, you can use a potato masher or a meat tenderizer to mash up fruit.
One step further in the technology department takes you to food mills and grinders, which don’t use electricity but do take up space in the kitchen.
And then there’s the food processor. You can use it to make a smoothie, but I find that they leak when there’s too much liquid involved.

for on the boat one of the magic bullet little blenders is a good compromise between size and performance for doing this kind of thing.. It will run off of a small inverter fairly easily and the limited amount of time that you actually run it won’t use much power. One of the nice things about it is that the mixing container actually doubles as the cup also so that you minimize dirty dishes
