‎...anyone have a Vita-Mix? thoughts/reviews? I'm also looking at the magic bullet, but it has mixed reviews (though I do like the small size for travel). just looking for something to make smoothies with Protein Powder, ice and select/few veggies/fruit.

I LOVE my Ninja. It works awesome and fast. I got the cheaper one on QVC for about 50 bucks and it works just fine.

I got a Blendtec instead of a Vitamix. they are comparable in power, but the Blendtec fits under your kitchen cabinets and the Vitamix generally does not. I also like the digital power buttons on the Blendtec compared to the turny knob on the Vitamix. they are both pretty expensive, but worth the cost IMO. they will both purée ice, fruit and veg with ease.

The Ninja is absolutely wonderful for just about anything and everything.

I started with a magic bullet and within a few weeks was frustrated with the thing... I like a lot of ice and it couldn't keep up. For Christmas I received a Vitamix and I'm completely in LOVE!!! It's amazing! Actually in the past 3 years I've gone through 2 blenders... I love smoothies and this thing blows away anything I've ever had. Yes its expensive and yes its tall but it is a lifesaver!

I also have a vitamix but have it for a different reason. My daughter is disabled and eats via a gtube. She did not do well on pre made formula so we feed her all real food and use the vitamix to blend it! It has been a godsend! I make smoothies and ice cream, sherbet, sorbet, Soups. There isn't much you can't make in this thing. It is going to be really handy for after surgery.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
