Recommend A Blender/ Food Processor



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Newbie here, pre-op trying to get ready. I searched the archives but did not come up with a answer.

I only own a cheapo blender and know I will need to buy something new for the pureed food and Protein Shakes. I don't want to spend hundreds, just not buy the wrong moderate priced model.

What works well and is easy to live with? I work full time and will be taking stuff to work or maybe i should have one of those immersion blenders to keep at work?

Thank you for your input!

I got a really good blender from GNC. It's small and portable and powerful. It comes with 2 travel cups and 2 lids. It is usually $40, but you can find it on "Hot Sale" for $20. They als have one that comes with a juice tomake your own juice.< /p>

Hope this helps?

Hi Carol and welcome!

I purchased the Magic Bullet and promptly brought it back. I was initially torn between that and the Ninja Pulse system. I absolutely love the Ninja. It has a small footprint and blends very quickly and powerfully. I love the single serve cups for my every day shakes. I've had it about a month and very pleased with it. I have an immersion blender also and though I do love it, I find the Ninja handles the ice better ( I like my shakes with ice)

Bed Bath and Beyond carries it for 79.99 and I used a 20% off coupon.

Good luck!!

Watch the late night infomecial for the Mega Ninja.

I just ordered mine.

I have the Bullet and love it as well.

Good luck.

My parents have a ninja and are very happy with it.

I bought a cuisinart single serve version and a NutriBullet, cuisinart is OK, not as strong as regular garden variety large blender would be, they will no doubts to me definatley get me through the 2 months post op stages.

haha, your Seinfeld ID, Yo Art.

I bought a Cuisinart Handy Prep 3 cup food processor. It's perfect for pureeing meat and veggies in with canned Soups. I'm impressed with how powerful it is, however, it tends to puree everything rather than chop.

      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.
