will the ninja blender work for pureed foods?



Recommended Posts

I'm finally approaching the pureed stage and wondering if the Ninja blender I use for shakes will work for pureeing food...

Thoughts?

TY!

I have used my ninja to make a couple of puréed foods. I have the food processor attachment and have used it for bean purée and have also made applesauce and carrot purée. It works well for making a chicken pate as well When I made a 3 week out version of chicken salad. So yes, a ninja will work for you.

Yes! I used my ninja all the the time when I was on the pureed stage. I have the big ninja system with all the attachments.

I am not to the post surgery stage yet, but I do not have a blender. It seems most like the Ninja. Which version would be best? What attachments, what models? We have a small kitchen, but I do need a blender and will after surgery for sure. Thank you so much!

I have a ninja and had the worst time during the puree phase. It seemed like everything turned out either over liquid-y or not enough. Maybe I just gave up too easily. I was only on it for a week so I concentrated on Soup and Protein Shakes. I have a Vitamix and I love their recipes on their website. Almost all their Soups are smooth and would work for that phase. I particularly recommend the squash soup! And you don't have to have a Vitamix to use their recipes, any blender would do the trick. I premade these soups and froze them until I reached my pureed phase, and I didn't have to cook the whole time.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
