Any suggestions about what kind of single serving blenders to buy. I want one that will also shave ice so the Protein Drinks are really cold. I have no idea where to start. :rolleyes:

I have a Magic Bullet which I love for making Protein drinks with ice in them. I start with crushed ice from my fridge though. I am not sure how it would do with whole ice cubes. I also have a Ninja. That is perfect for crushing ice. It's not quite as convenient as my Magic Bullet because you need to transfer the drink from the Ninja blender to a cup, whereas the Magic Bullet blends right in the cup.

I have a ninja and it is wonderful. Mine came with individual size cups to blend in.

I just bought the ninja. It got great reviews, and the cost is reasonable.

I have the magic bullet and it does not shave ice. If I had it to do again, I'd get the ninja.

I have a little $19 Hamilton Beach that does a great job pulverizing/shaving ice to make smoothies. I had a magic bullet but I wore it out. This cheap little Hamilton Beach is still going strong. I got it at Walmart.< /p>

lol @ LouiseC! :o

I have the small $19.95 Ninja from target. Love it!!!! I'm wanting to upgrade soon to the bigger bowls but the smaller one is perfect for a single shake.

I also have a Ninja and love it. You can get a small one for pretty cheap at Walmart or Target as one poster did from Target.

ninja pulse is the BOMB !!!. come with three travel cups and lids. 6 ice cubes, one scoop of Protein Powder and skim milk just under the top of the ice make the thickest coldest frozen concoction ever!!!. plus the larger blender that comes with it whips of the Protein mix (using the cookie dough attachment) to a thick airy consistency that you can make your ice cream with it. I travel a lot for work and I use a magic bullet when I am in hotel room but it doesnt have the same thickness & cosistency that the ninja does.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
