Research pending.... Please hold.Well i found a blender that is specifically made to work with standard mason jars Tribest Mason Jar Personal Blender (PB-300). (This makes me feel better knowing I didn't almost kill myself making this gif)
I also saw several comments from people stating their old blender manuals actually offered this as a tip, but I couldn't find any photos of them :(
that was to easy
Here I am

Alright, the flooring's squeaky clean so it's time to write! Paging /u/tenderlion too. Keep in mind that I'm doing the most conventional affiliate scheme - the Amazon affiliate program. That said, if you're thinking of approaching it differently, there's plenty of options. Most brands have their own dedicated affiliate program you can partake in!
---------------
Picking a niche for me consists of 4 foundations: a) the products available, b) the amount of people looking for/buying these products, c) the current existing competitors you'll face and d) your willingness to sit down and write, write, write.
You are also free to pick a niche you have not much experience in, if you're willing to research about it. Passion sure helps, but also remember that if you devote much time to it, it'll start feeling a chore. Mixing hobbies with such a feeling..yeah, you get me.
----------
Products
In my case, I got the idea and immediately went to see how many products are there on Amazon. If there's 10+ products, you're good. But best scenario would be a few brands with 30-40 or even more products altogether. Aside from number of reviews, check their '#XXX in [category]'. The higher its rank, the more it sells, of course.
Let's see a very oversatured niche example: blenders. Check this guy out - it's 3580 in the whole Home & Kitchen category. If we take a look at its reviews (sort by latest), we'll also see it gets a new review every 1-2 days.
Perfect. This means it sells quite a few, as you know how lazy online consumers are. For every 1 review, there's waay more real purchases.
-----------
How people search for these products
Time to see exactly how these people are searching for the stuff you want to promote. A.k.a.: keywords. Here's a mix of stuff you should use:
You should both see the volume of searches per month + the competition for them. Keep in mind these are approximate values. For example, KWfinder has showed me some keywords have only 30 searches/month, yet I've gotten 40 "impressions" (not visits) only for the last 5 days. Talk about inaccuracy!
For additional keyword ideas, you can use things like Keywordshitter (grand name, I know :D), or Ubersuggest.
Sounds like a chore? It can be indeed. But most of what's to follow is founded on how you do your keyword research. So we have to be careful here. Still, 2 weeks should be plenty to gain a deeper understanding and pick something.
------------------
Competition
Always perform a competition check too. If you're going against too big of a site, it'll be quite hard. If, however, you see newer sites that are also affiliates, there might be space for you. Tools here can be the 'difficulty' score of KWfinder and Moz keyword.
You can also use Semrush for an analysis on any website - its traffic, keywords, backlinks (other websites linking to it) etc.
If you think you can provide better value (longer reviews, more accurate/reader-friendly ones, better images (if you can tinker with Photoshop) etc, you're alright!
For example, I have 2 competitors who I'll never beat. However, I've found that some of them missed some new products and didn't do proper comparisons between models. This has become my small niche where I get some alright traffic from.
Things to look for are DA (Domain authority) and PA (Page authority). Sites with DA <30 are generally alright to takeover if you invest a bit of time. If they're between 10 and 23 DA, go for it! Check this with Mozbar (a free plugin that analyzes PA and DA).
------------
Writing
Writing can become really daunting, believe me. I've written 44 articles and around 90,000 words. (Yay for having a flexible schedule as a MEXT dude until when I'll get busy as heck :D)
Your first reviews will be, probably, shit. Then, you'll get the hang of it. Proper structure, length (never write to a word count!) etc. Be sure to have an affiliate link above the fold (i.e. on the first 'screen' the user will see).
There's really much to be said here, but summed up, just keep with it. Affiliate marketing, if done correctly, will still take some time to show results...Usually a few months.
Also, you don't need to invest much money. Grab hosting/domain and you can start with a free theme (I used Parabola for Wordpress).
Uh, got really long and I'm tired. But if you decide to start anything, throw me a PM so I can help somehow :D Cheers!
Why no hot water - is there no coffee maker in the room or tea in the lobby? Do you have a minifridge sometimes?
Cliff bars are always good. Many consultants I know pack a mini blender and do protein and fruit shakes. You could also throw in some shelf stable tofu to the smoothie or to firm up a gazpacho
Meze platter might be doable if you can find hummus in the local grocery. Trader Joe's has canned vegan dolmas, olives, pita bread and an eggplant dip.
Asian rice wrappers often just need to be soaked in water that is lukewarm so as long as you have a bathroom sink with showerable water you should be okay.
Canned beans travel well and can be added to grocery store salads. Tahini and lemon can be combined for a dressing, along with avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers and other veggies. Sample salad
If you can get bread and a mini-fridge smash chickpea "tuna" sandwich.
I've been making smoothies daily for 15+ years. I've used expensive $100 dollar difficult to clean blender for most of them. Now I use
http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-51108-Stainless-Blender/dp/B005NIXSHQ
It's one piece so I just just use it and rinse it out immediately like a cup. Works as well as the $100+ models. It's strong enough to do greens and pretty much anything you'd want to juice or blend. Do not buy the plastic jar model, it gets cracked and scratched in the dishwasher.
I really like my moka pot/stovetop espresso pot for making coffee. They are the octagon aluminum pots, you may have seen them before, Bialetti makes the most well known ones, but I got mine from TJ Maxx for like $4. It is a 3-cup model, which means 3 espresso cups, so perfect for 1 normal cup of coffee. It brews strong even with crappy storebought coffee. I fill the coffee chamber up all the way without tightly packing, preboil water before adding it to the water reservoir, and keep the stove on until the coffee coming up into the top is kind of a honey color (I have a gas stove, if you don't, you may want to pull it off the burner instead of just turning off the heat - mine tends to "fountain" a bit if left on too long). Of course, none of this will make sense if you haven't used/seen this type of pot being used before :) If you want to go this route, I would highly recommend looking up instructions online/watching some youtube videos - it's kind of hard to understand how to use one unless you've seen it in action or used some other kind of percolator style machine.
The other piece of equipment I use is a personal blender. It has a plastic blender bottle, so depending on how you feel about hot beverages in plastic, may not be the best for you, but it works great for me - just put butter/coconut oil/whipping cream/whatever in with my coffee, blend until it becomes a uniform creamy color, open and pour! The fat is always well emulsified and stays that way until I finish drinking the coffee, and it gets a nice foam on top so I can feel all fancy with my "latte." One thing you do have to sort of be aware of with this is that because the blender I use has a very tight seal, it will sort of "pop" from the heat pressure when it's opened. Nothing to worry about, but I would imagine with a glass jar that doesn't have a separate lid, the pop might be more alarming.
This is the blender I use, it is inexpensive and also pretty awesome for smoothies/protein shakes/etc. It gets a bit hot to the touch with BPC, but it hasn't warped or anything that I've noticed yet, and says it is BPA free. It is on Amazon, but definitely check stores near you, I got mine for like $16 from Target.

You can try the bullet blender where the entire jar is removable, making it easy to clean the blades Wonderchef 400 Watt Nutri-Blend, White(Freebies may vary) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B00KVYEOE8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_a3cizb2945HSY
I have a little blender like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Bullet-Speed-Blender-Mixer/dp/B00O9CIQVU . I just put some water (or juice if you like the taste better) and a scoop of powder and blend it for a couple seconds then drink it quickly.
