Blenders....help



Recommended Posts

I burnt out my blender that I had for years. Now that I am post op, I didn't want a huge blender so I got a magic bullet. My problem is it doesn't crush the ice.

Does anyone have one? Can you guys post some recommendations?

Or teach me how to use it. LoL

I have the ninja.. and I love it.. it turns ice into dust. Or it can just chop it up a little. But it works well. And o have the first one it was like 40 bucks

I use it to make fruit smoothies I don't get foam when I use mine. Even if I don't put fruit in it.

I went to buy the magic bullet, but they were all out and there was one like it by a brand named Bella, which was $40 cheaper and it works great!

I have a ninja does good on ice and another smaller one hamiton beach 18.00 at Walmart not great on ice but great on frozen fruit. I put 8 oz milk one scoop of protien and some frozen strawberrys make a great shake. no ice required

I'm sure vitamax is good but the cost is not.

I have the Jimmy Buffet margarita machine which shaves ice & mixes protien shakes great! Got it at Lowes - was expensive but I use it evey day. My kids like it when I make them icees with it too :)

With the bullet make sure you are using the 4 prong blade. Mine does the trick. Also have the ninja which I pretty amazing also. Good luck :)

I wouldn't trade my Vitamix for anything! It is pricey, but worth every single penny.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
