I have a really nice Vitamix blender. I want to know who has something like the ninja, magic bullet, or nutribullet with the single serve cups and why you like it. I am thinking about getting one just for my shakes for after surgery so I don't have to wash the big blender every time.

I had a nutra bullet...then got the nutra ninja for Christmas. What a difference! Comes with both pitcher and single serve which use the same base. Makes veggie/fruit much less "chunky" than the bullet...and can handle ice. Makes Protein Shakes with frozen fruit. Really loud though....

I am starting week 2 of my Optifast drinks. I just bought a nutri ninja with the auto iq. I have used it twice and LOVE it. I put some crushed ice in it and my drink for a smoothie taste for something different. No ice chunks at all in it. I have a full size ninja and this works tons better for single servings. Especially smoothies. Can't wait till I can puree some real food in it. Good luck

I wouldn't use a blender with shakes right after surgery. It whips air into your shakes making them thicker and harder to drink.

I used a Blender Bottle. Thin shakes make it easier to drink and meet your Protein goals. Later I used by bullet when I made iced coffee with unflavored Protein powder.

I actually leave mine in the fridge for a few hours to let the air settle out! I can't stand the texture I get from just shaking in the Blender Bottle, so I make my day's worth of shakes in the morning and leave the bottle in the fridge and then have really smooth, really tasty shakes all day long!

I use an immersion blender -- that way clean up is even easier than any kind of Ninja/Bullet/whatever, and it doesn't whip any air into your shakes. No letting them wait in the fridge to settle or choking on foam. You can drink them right away :)

I have the ninja with auto iq. I've had it for about 5 months. It works great. I add frozen fruit, spinach or kale. It blends it up really smooth. It does have the individual size cups. It's loud, but it has a lot of power.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
