Magic bullet



Recommended Posts

I have been considering it too and just can't do it for the price. I would love having the ease of just cleaning the the blade and then being able to use it again but it seems like the price just isn't worth it. I have seen then little Hamilton Beach mentioned above at our Walmart for $12 - it is tiny and would work great because our counter is so small but the blade is in the glass like a normal blender so you would still need to wash it each time you used it. I'm still undecided.

I have a bullet that I have used three or four times. I really just prefer my blender. If you would like to have this bullet it's yours for the cost of shipping. Email me privately if you are interested.

I got one for Christmas, so that's the only reason I have it. I do think they are a bit pricey. It works pretty well though. I like that is sits on the counter and doesn't take up much space. It is super easy to clean and I make smoothies for Breakfast in it. I am pretty much out of the Protein Shake phase. I did use it for that and it worked fine.

I love my MB! I have the small HB as well and rarely use it. The MB works for me - I let my Protein shakes sit for 5 mins or so in the fridge to let some of the foam go away. Even my shakers make the foam so it is not just the MB. I used my MB to chop onions and meat the other day - worked great. I have never had any leaking into the base as someone mentioned.

The only con I has is that I have to shake it a bit to get the big chunks of food to the bottom so that it chops evenly.

I <3 my MB

I love and use my magic bullet all the time. chicken salad--if you're just chopping the chicken, yes, it is a pain to stir and get it all chopped. Just add your mayo or Greek yogurt or whatever in the bottom, then put your chicken and green onion, and it turns into a paste really easily. I use it for Protein Shakes, too, but I don't over-process--I like mine with ice to make them like a milkshake, so maybe that's why I don't get a lot of foaming. Again, milk first, then Protein Powder, then whatever flavorings, then ice. I found that order of ingredients does make a difference in the processing efficiency. I do love that I just toss the cups in the dishwasher and still have others ready to use.

I have read where several of you have and use the magic bullet for making Protein shakes, omlettes and etc. I was reading the reviews of this thing to try to decide if I needed one. For those of you who own one, what has been your experience? Good points? Bad points?

I had had one for 2 years. It sits under my counter. I wasn't really impressed with it then, but I plan to drag it back out now that I have been approved for surgery. I am very interested in what other people have used it for.

I use my MB for my morning Protein shakes - don't have any problem with it or the shakes at all. I use it for a few other things, too. Didn't pay the full price - found mine somewhere discounted (Garden Ridge, maybe). Have other blender and food processor - but this is the one I reach for.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
