Which Blender Do you LOVE?!?



Recommended Posts

The single shake maker I have now doesn't thrill me and with several weeks of Protein Shakes ahead I want to invest in a great blender. There are so many up choose from..... Is the Vitamix worth the $$$. How about the Ninja? There are some Ninjas that catch my attention bc they seem so versitile.

I love my vitamix. It is a lot of money but that's why I bought it at costco. It was the cheapest there and I can return it whenever with no questions asked.

I bought one of those that mixes into a cup, but I hated it. I'm still using my 20 year old blender with glass jar. It works great for my yogurt shakes. I prefer my Protein drinks made with a blender ball. Less foam than the real blender.

Blender bottle- my real blender put too much foam/ air in my shakes.

Not a blender endorsement but I had to comment. I had it in my head that Protein Drinks should be like shakes- blended thick with ice. After surgery the foam I never even noticed before was killing me. Still it took me a couple months to just use a blender bottle- with a metal ball wisk in it, to make my Protein. I even asked advice on here about making my protein less "airy" and didn't get that suggestion. I felt like a real dummy when I finally figured that one out. Plus Java pro doesn't even blend right in a blender, I HAVE to do it in the shaker and pour it over ice.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
