Looking for blenders/mixers recommendations



Recommended Posts

What kind of blender are you using? My current blender is so loud, it will wake up everyone in the house when it's turned on (not to mention scared the crap out of our cats) so I'm looking for a new one. Is anyone using the Nutri Bullet and how easy is it to take those cups to work with you? In addition to drinking my Protein Drink at home, I also want to be able to make it and take it with me to work rather than buy the pre-mixed Protein Shakes.

There's no need for a fancy blender unless you're in the mood to spend money.

I use a $15 Hamilton Beach blender that's not loud.

We have a bullet one. I love it! Great for smaller servings and it gives a nice froth.

I have a Ninja I bought at costco. I bought extra cups from Ninja directly. The cups are easy to take to work. It's loud, but does an amazing job with fresh fruit.

Consori just came out with a really neat blender you might want to consider. You can find it on Amazon. COSORI smoothie Blender Personal Juicer, High-Speed Single Serve food fruit Maker Mixer System with Travel and Sport bottles, Silver/800W. Very worth the price.

I've had the NutriBullet (the one with the gold base) since just before having the VSG in August of 2015, and have used it on a nearly daily basis. It's very fast and efficient, and I like being able to just pop on the lid and take it with me. It's also easier to store it in the fridge if I can't finish it all in one go, because it's much smaller than a blender. You have to be careful to not overfill it, but the perk of this is that it helps with Portion Control.

I've mainly used it to make smoothies but also have made some tasty Soups using steamed vegetables, milk, and a little melted butter.

I bought mine while it was on sale at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and used an extra 20% coupon. I've used it far, far more than the bulkier, cheaper, less effective blenders we'd previously owned.

Vitamix...Worth Every penny. Got mine on qvc. Nothing like it. Can make a frozen fruit sorbet in a flash or a quick hot Soup.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
