baby bullet or something like it?



Recommended Posts

You can get the nutribullet (like magic bullet but more powerful) from Bed bath and beyond for 99 bucks... but if you register your email, they'll give you a 20% off coupon so it will only be 80.00

I wouldn't buy one just to get through purees since it's such a short phase and you CAN do it all in your blender.. But I use mine every day to make smoothies, healthy salad dressings, chop garlic etc. It's a great machine to have if you think you'll use it... but not worth the money if you're only going to use it for you puree phase.

Hey, i was looking into the baby bullet too but then realized that what I really wanted was the $20- extras pack that had the silicone ice cube tray & the dial & date cute containers. You can buy it at Walmart instock or online.

I also saw 1/2C ziplock/ generic equivalent containers 6 for 2-3$

In the plastic ware / ziplock section of my local walmart they have 2ounce little cups 60 count with lids for $4. But, they're not microwavable. They melt.

The nicer find a lid ones were 6-7$ for same size.

I think I'll blend & freeze some wendy's chili bc I know I'll like that & make some of that ricotta bake I saw on here to freeze ahead. The little cups will also help with the Jello portioning.

I also considered buying a sleeve of restaurant sauce cups & lids. Like the chipotle ones are exactly 4 ounces & I've 1&2 ounce ones too. I'm not sure what I'd do with sooo many cups though.

We had about a dozen or so 2 ounce babyfoods expire at the store.. I emptied them and washed them out and have been using the jars.. PERFECT for my little 1/4 cup of puree... I eat about a half cup of food, but I like having the 1/4 up size jars since I like to do a variety.

Man. I'd almost sell mine to y'all. For me, I should have just stuck w my regular blender. I'm pretty sure ill never use the bullet again unfortunately.

I do NOT like shakes. I thought I'd love them since I've never been a picky Water in my life but the sleeve has changed that. The purée stage went so fast and I only puréed food twice, the rest of the time I just chewed really well.

I have a bullet and a blender and I preferred to use my blender. The main reason is I too bought the 1/2 cup glad containers. I made all my meals for the entire week at once because that's my way of keeping the good stuff regularity a ail able. Otherwise if I just made one meal at a time I tended to make less healthier choices. That's just me though but it does work really well :) good luck!

I have the Smarter Image version of the Magic Bullet, and I actually do use it quite a bit for my morning shakes. Right now, pre-diet, I often whiz in a few frozen cherries or blueberries, sometimes half a banana and PB2. If I use frozen fruit, it becomes very much like a milkshake.

That said, I have a blender, an immersion blender with a little mini processor attachment, and so on. I don't know that I would have run out to buy one of these just for the pureed stage. I got mine for $20 a while ago when I was still working so I could do Protein shakes at work if I couldn't get out for lunch (happened quite often for a while!).

      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.
