What do you use for blending?



Recommended Posts

So I have a full size blender/food processor combo that I got for my wedding. I am wondering though if I should get something more along the lines of a magic bullet. If I am only going to be eating very small portions, I am afraid the blender won't even be able to get it because it's too big. The Magic Bullet reviews are so mixed though, and it's $50. I saw a personal sized blender that had good reviews, but it says not to blend any meats so it wouldn't work in the mushy stage, although it would work for any smoothies. It was only $17.

So what do you use to blend any Protein Drink smoothies and also foods for the mushie stage?

I was using a big blender and when I was on my liquid faze, thats like at least 3 times a day cleaning it and reusing it. It was such a pain that I got on Amazon and did some research. I got the tribest personal blender 200. It seemed to have better reviews then the magic bullet, I just got it a couple days ago so I havent tried it yet!

I had in the back of the cabinets a big blender. But I also love the magic bullet. I also have an immersable blender that I use to blend up a pot of Soup.< /p>

I've had the Tribest for years, and it sure does the trick with anything. Even took it to China with me. I'm going on vacation the beginning of July and will still be on mushies, so it will be going with me then, too.

I have used my magic bullet almost everyday for the last year and it has never messed up. In fact, I just bought a 2nd one for my office. I drink shakes for Breakfast everyday and this is the easiest way too make one and not make too much of a mess. I tried using my standrd blender when I first started this journey but I put it away nearly a year ago and have not taken it out of the closet.

The Bullet is great for Protein Shakes. Use it every day. Seems to hold up pretty well and blends wonderfully.

I have a bella cucina rocket blender, which is like a Magic Bullet knock off for half the price. so far ive only used it to mix shakes and to whip up eggs so they'll be nice and fluffy. No problems yet.

I use a hand blender. I love it! you can stick in a cup, bowl, pot.... anything! For cleaning, all you have to do is rinse it off.

It depends on what I'm blending, but typically choose between a traditional Osterizer blender and a hand-held blender. The hand-held is great for smaller portions.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
