This morning I started my daily protein shake/ smoothie. A little water, the last of the Greek yogurt, scoop of protein powder, frozen strawberries and voila! Blend in the Bella Rocket Blender!

Only this morning, the threaded cup locked tight in the machine (which is the on switch). Unplugged , tried with all my might to get the cup out of the machine! No luck! I'm laughing at myself for "fighting" with the blender - After all- THERE IS NO MORE YOGURT! And I don't live in town!

Went into hubs tools, found a small flat screw driver and finally , broke the seal! :-) you can guess, it also broke the lock on the blender... So as I sit here, enjoying my breakfast, any suggestions for a small compact one or two serving RELIABLE blender? Cost not an issue, it's about convenience and portability. Thanks in advance! Hope you are enjoying your protein today!

I really like my new Nutribullet. It comes with blades that fit on the cup, not in the blender. You remove the blades and put a handle on teh cup for drinking. I am drinking my smoothy, now, yogurt, strawberries, bananna and flax seeds. Yummy!Karen..aka..kll724

I really like the Hamilton Beach Wave Action blender -- it really does a great job with ice, frozen fruits, etc. Never have to open it back up and stir around, etc. Stainless steel blades, 40 ounce glass jar (I don't like eating or drinking from plastic). Also the seal is integrated so I don't have to fuss with remembering where the rubber ring goes. Top has wings so pries off easily and there's a little hatch to drop more stuff in while blender is processing. Had my other blender out recently -- a Black and Decker. It's taller and doesn't fit under the cupboards as well on the counter and it simply doesn't have the chutzpah. A lot of starting and stopping to get a simple shake made with frozen blueberries. I was wondering whether to give the Black and Decker away or save it as a backup. Going, going, gone!

I have a Magic Bullet for portability and small stuff like shakes, but also have the Ninja for bigger jobs including fake ice cream...frozen fruit with a touch of milk and Splenda. Absolutely love both of them!!

I love my magic bullitt!

I love my ninja with the personal sized cups.

Just got the ninja mega kitchen for early mothersday. Now to start experimenting

I have yet to find the PERFECT blender - and I do include a vitamix in that - I have gone thru 4 blenders including nutribullets and have now decided to buy the cheapy ones that i can travel with. Currently using a hamilton beach for $15 at Canadian Tire. Pretty good deal.

When we wore out our Magic Bullet, we got a Nutri Bullet. I read the reviews on both, so glad I got the Nutri Bullet ! It crushes ice , makes a " heathy " shake, quickly grinds nuts and seeds, does just about everything quickly, and it cleans up nicely too.

I knw this sounds nuts but u can get the baby bullet for 60 bucks from bed bath and beyond and walmart. It's supposed to be for baby food making but hey it works for small batches. I've used it for 2 years n it hasn't died on me yet (not for my band....im due for banding on the 23rd)
