The single shake maker I have now doesn't thrill me and with several weeks of protein shakes ahead I want to invest in a great blender. There are so many up choose from..... Is the Vitamix worth the $$$. How about the Ninja? There are some Ninjas that catch my attention bc they seem so versitile.

I love my vitamix. It is a lot of money but that's why I bought it at Costco. It was the cheapest there and I can return it whenever with no questions asked.

Love this, it is going to be my friend thought this surgery and beyond.

I bought one of those that mixes into a cup, but I hated it. I'm still using my 20 year old blender with glass jar. It works great for my yogurt shakes. I prefer my Protein drinks made with a blender ball. Less foam than the real blender.

I have a ninja blender. No problems. Can do big batches or cups with lids.

Love my blendtec. Amazing.

Vitamix!

Blender bottle- my real blender put too much foam/ air in my shakes.

allons-y

Definitely my Blender Bottle for my protein shakes. My regular no name blender works for any other shakes I may want.

Not a blender endorsement but I had to comment. I had it in my head that protein drinks should be like shakes- blended thick with ice. After surgery the foam I never even noticed before was killing me. Still it took me a couple months to just use a blender bottle- with a metal ball wisk in it, to make my protein. I even asked advice on here about making my protein less "airy" and didn't get that suggestion. I felt like a real dummy when I finally figured that one out. Plus Java pro doesn't even blend right in a blender, I HAVE to do it in the shaker and pour it over ice.
