I Bought A Magic Bullet At Costco



Recommended Posts

I bought a Magic Bullet yesterday at Costo ($47.92 tax inc.). Does anyone here have one? Is it useful? Easy to clean? I thought it was cool because you can blend stuff and even microwave in the same container. It will crush ice and fruits and veggies for smoothies and Protein Drinks. It came with several different size Mugs, and smaller containers for Condiments, etc. I just would like some reviews before I use it. Thanks

I bought mine at costco a few months ago when they had it on sale. it was a great deal and came with more accessories than other stores. I love mine but have only used it twice. Once to make chicken salad and once to pulverize some ice to add to a mixed drink.

I'm sure I will use it alot more after surgery.

I was gonna buy one pre-op but just didn't have the money at the time - I made it through my puree phase without it. I'm sure it would be useful, but I don't regret that I didn't have one, either.

I bought one too on sale at costco and left it in my car for 3weeks. When I finally used it I couldn't figure out how to store all the pieces. I used it once. I returned it. I have an immersion blender with an attachment that is like a small food processor and a large container (like a chinese Soup take-out container). I works great in blending my shake in a large mug. It cleans up under running Water. I'm trying to keep it simple since this phase and pureeing food is not forever.

Bought mine at Bed Bath & Beyond for $49 less 20% which made it about $40. Love it! The whole thing comes apart so gunk can't build up in the base. And it all goes in the dishwasher. Plus it even comes with the straws!

.

I can understand that, there are alot of attachments. I keep the base on my counter and all the attachments in the box. I have a small space beside of my fridge where the box fit perfectly.

I bought what is essentially the Cuisinart version of it and I love it. I use it a lot when cooking and for making smoothies for my kids. I used it a lot on liquids and purées, but it definitely wasn't necessary, but I was glad to have it :)

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
