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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
