I have read on a couple of the post about a bullet machine that purees food?!? Can anyone tell me what it is and where I can get one. I want to be ready.

Thanks

It's the Magic Bullet. You can get it at Target. I don't know anyone who's used it, but I think a blender might be just as good for the liquid diet purposes.

I got mine at Wal-mart for about $60. You can also order online and get 2 for $99 I think. I would not be able to function without mine. I used it to make my own cream soups during the pre-op liquids and post-op liquids phases. It is so wonderful for the protein shakes. I put a little ice in with mine and it makes it so much better. They are well worth the money. I actually bought a second one for when I wear the first one out. Much easier than a blender because you can drink right out of the container you mix it in. Saves a lot of dish washing!

I got one too. I use it for my morning protein shakes, to mix pancake mix for my kids, to ground coffee, etc. I love it! I am going to take my coffee grinder off the counter top. I hate cleaning that thing up after I use it, and it takes up space I could use. I think I am most excited about the coffee grinding than anything.

Here's a link to a thread started two days ago about this as well.

You can get them at Kohl's, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, etc...

They average around $60 and most folks that have them love them, though there are a few folks that used it a couple of times and it collects dust.

They only have 225watts of power but come with a few cups for blending and storage and are small.

I would suggest if you already have a nice blender that has the screw-off bottom blade assembly you not spend more money. A regular mouth mason jar, which you can buy in cases of 12 for a few dollars in sizes ranging from 1 cup (1/2 pint) up to a quart will fit right on there. And you have many jars to store things in.

Walmart.com carries a personal blender by the brand name of Back To Basics that is about $18 and has 350 Watts. Big difference between 350 and 225. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3609512

Here's a similar product to the Magic Bullet for a bit less: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4756038

Here's the Magic Bullet:

If you do not shop at Walmart, you can find these items many other places. Perhaps do a Yahoo Shopping search for either Magic Bullet, Koolatron or Back To Basics.

I just bought a new Oster 12 speed, 450 watt blender that came with a food processor attachment, and a free personal blender jar. I needed a new blender anyway.

I guess I'm a whore for infomercials! I love my Magic Bullet. I used it for liquid and mushie stage and now I use it daily for my protien shakes. Mine came with 4 migs and that's what I mix my shakes in. I think I can recite the entire infomercial including the british guy's accent!

I got my bullet on EBAY...I LOVE Ebay...I paid $42 which included S & H....the ones on TV are 2/$99 with an additional $35 S & H....

I bought mine through an infomercial. You can probably find it on line as well. They are great.

Use mine every morning to make my Protein shake. Have also used it to make some delicious salsa and coleslaw. Cleans up much easier than our blender....

I got a knock-off brand at Khol's department store for $25.

I ordered mine off the informical also where they claim that you buy one get one free....well you dont....you pay for both. I actually need two though because I travel quite a bit for work and last week while I was away from home for 4 days I just packed it and took it with me. I packed my protein powder and I had a small cooler that I took with some fruit and then stopped at a gas station and picked up skim milk or orange juice, depending on what I was making and just fixed it right there in the room. Hotels always have ice so it was easy. I love the magic bullet and it is the perfect size for me to travel with.
