Kristy29 0 Posted May 23, 2010 So I have a full size blender/food processor combo that I got for my wedding. I am wondering though if I should get something more along the lines of a magic bullet. If I am only going to be eating very small portions, I am afraid the blender won't even be able to get it because it's too big. The Magic Bullet reviews are so mixed though, and it's $50. I saw a personal sized blender that had good reviews, but it says not to blend any meats so it wouldn't work in the mushy stage, although it would work for any smoothies. It was only $17. So what do you use to blend any Protein Drink smoothies and also foods for the mushie stage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nean4488 1 Posted May 23, 2010 I was using a big blender and when I was on my liquid faze, thats like at least 3 times a day cleaning it and reusing it. It was such a pain that I got on Amazon and did some research. I got the tribest personal blender 200. It seemed to have better reviews then the magic bullet, I just got it a couple days ago so I havent tried it yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lisa106678 2 Posted May 23, 2010 I had in the back of the cabinets a big blender. But I also love the magic bullet. I also have an immersable blender that I use to blend up a pot of Soup.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnneGG 0 Posted May 23, 2010 I've had the Tribest for years, and it sure does the trick with anything. Even took it to China with me. I'm going on vacation the beginning of July and will still be on mushies, so it will be going with me then, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UpperWestSide 3 Posted May 23, 2010 I have used my magic bullet almost everyday for the last year and it has never messed up. In fact, I just bought a 2nd one for my office. I drink shakes for Breakfast everyday and this is the easiest way too make one and not make too much of a mess. I tried using my standrd blender when I first started this journey but I put it away nearly a year ago and have not taken it out of the closet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emjay 8 Posted May 24, 2010 The Bullet is great for Protein Shakes. Use it every day. Seems to hold up pretty well and blends wonderfully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madpassion 0 Posted May 26, 2010 I have a bella cucina rocket blender, which is like a Magic Bullet knock off for half the price. so far ive only used it to mix shakes and to whip up eggs so they'll be nice and fluffy. No problems yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sophieownsme 0 Posted May 26, 2010 I use a hand blender. I love it! you can stick in a cup, bowl, pot.... anything! For cleaning, all you have to do is rinse it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katy517 1 Posted May 27, 2010 It depends on what I'm blending, but typically choose between a traditional Osterizer blender and a hand-held blender. The hand-held is great for smaller portions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
