I'm sorry if this is a dumb question!!! .... I have about 7 medications/vitamins that I am supposed to take every day. Four of them are huge! I've tried the "crushing in applesauce" technique, but they are hard to get down. Is there any reason why I can't just put them in my Ninja (blender) with my Protein shakes? (I was sleeved on 12/29.) Any other tips on taking all these pills and Vitamins in MUCH appreciated! Thank you!!

Have you talked to your pharmacist to see if you can get them in chewable or liquid form?

And you probably know this, but just in case -- don't crush anything without clearing it with a pharmacist or similar first -- many medications lose their efficacy if crushed.

If they are safe to crush, I don't see any reason why a Ninja wouldn't work. I think it will probably just make whatever is coming out of the Ninja taste terrible though

If ask the prescribing Doctor or pharmacist about the medications, especially anything that comes in a capsule or other type of extended release pill. The vitamins should be ok to blend as long as you plan to drink the shake/smoothie immediately and pay attention to absorption incompatibilities like not taking calcium and iron at the same time.
