Blender suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Any suggestions for an affordable blender which is easy to clean? Don't expect to use it long term because nutritionist doesn't recommend caloric liquids after first month or so!

I have a cuisinart hand blender. Unbelievably easy to use and clean, and it doesn't put air in your Protein Shakes and make them all bubbly and foamy and gross. It costs about $35 on Amazon, which isn't nothing, but also isn't a multi-hundred dollar ninja whatever.

I already had a Magic Bullet so I didn't buy anything new, but it worked great for the thin liquids and pureed stages.

I have the Oster Personal Blender. It comes with a 20 oz bottle you blend your drinks right in. I love it!

Hey, my hubby gave me one of these a couple of years ago. :) Do you use ice in shakes with yours? How does it do?

@@mykdzmom I don't use ice in my shakes. I can imagine it would probably not do well unless you were starting with soft crushed ice rather than ice cubes.

Bufflehead thanks for the reply and the idea. I think I will pick up some Sonic ice for post op. :)

I have the Nutra Bullet Ninga Pro, its blender, food processor and juicer. Pricey 150 , but so worth it. It is super easy to clean!

      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.

      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!!
