Magic Bullet

[DrewsLou 3]

I wouldn't waste my money on a Magic Bullet. There are a bunch of other contraptions out there that will do the same thing much cheaper! I bought mine a month or so after surgery after hearing people talk about it on here and I just had to have one. LOL I think I can count the number of times I have used it on one hand! I'm not a Protein Shake drinker though so maybe if I was I would use it more?

I haven't been banded yet & I also thought about getting a Magic Bullet. Just b/c of the good stuff I have heard.

I just bought a Hamilton Beach Blender/Smoothie maker @ Target & it is the best blender I have ever had. From reading this I am thinking I might not need the Magic Bullet.

I would say you wouldn't need the Magic Bullet. What you have should be fine.

I also have the cheap wal-mart version, and love it. I make salsa, guac, and protien smoothies in it no problem. It cost about $12 and also have a blend and go feature, with a spouted lid. I have used it for almost 18 months with no problems. It is the perfect size for just me, but not big enough to make smoothies for a family. ~Mandy

I had a good laugh today over my Magic Bullet. I went to blend my morning shake and after one pulse, the darn thing stopped. I removed it and tried again. No luck. I thought my 1.5 year run had ended and the motor blew. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in. No luck. Then the power in the house came back on.

I've had those. I call'em "Duh" moments!

My husband bought me one while i was in having surgery. I had mentioned it and it was a Godsend for Soups etc for liquid stage. It makes great smoothies and does not take up much space. I love mine.

My mom bought me one back before I even knew what a lapband was and I love mine. I've had it since they first came out. I think I've had mine 2+ years and it still works great. I don't use it everyday but I've used it a lot since banding. It works great for chicken salad. YUM!!!

I LOVE it and it's so nice to blend and slap the lid on and put in my lunch bag.

Yup. I feel a little vindicated because it was the middle of the day and nothing else was on (lights, tv, radio, etc.) so I had no other way of knowing the power had gone out. But still, I was feeling like my luck had run out and I was going to have to replace my beloved Bullet. I was happy when I pressed the button on the coffeemaker and it didn't work either.

If you have the Oster... have you seen the Oster Blend n Go cup? That might be a good option... utilize what you have and get the mixing in the cup bonus... (I found it on Amazon... )

No I haven't. But, I'll definitely check it out.

I just got one for Christmas! So far have only made smoothies for the kids, but it worked great for that. I want to make some ham salad from the leftover ham from Christmas dinner though. What are some of your favorite things to make besides smoothies?

I don't really have any favorites yet. Does anyone have a favorite blender/food processor recipe to post?
