Nutribullet, Magic Bullet, Other?

[RedSalamander 148]

Hi all! Now that I've progressed to the "try out some shakes before your upcoming liquid diet" stage, I'm thinking I'm going to buy something to help make the shakes as tasty as possible. Can anyone share what they use to make shakes, aside from a plain old Blender Bottle?

TIA!

I have both. The magic bullet is more of a basic smoothie machine. You def want the Nutribullet or similar that Emulsifies all seeds/ Nuts/ Veggies etc to get all the nutrients. I use the magic bullet for basic Protein Powder shakes with ice, frozen fruit n the such.

Same here. I use the Nutribullet for everything. I am currently in the puree stage and it works perfectly. I also use it for my chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shakes.< /p>

I use an immersion blender -- I love that it puts no air in the shake so you don't get any foam.

How r u digesting the raw veggies n fruits from the shake? What else r u putting in them during your 2 weeks of purée? I go in Tuesday, so I'm trying to get as much prepared today n tomorrow, just made a pot of creamed Soup that I will purée in the Nutribullet, separate n freeze.

I got a NutriNinja after I read a Consumer Reports testing that said metal shards broke off the NutriBullet blades when using it with ice (which it's not intended to handle, I guess).

I use a Bella Cucina Rocket Blender, Patinum Edition.

. Someone gave me one several years ago and I have been making my shake with it for the past two years or more. After surgery I found out that it purees my food really good too. I found the best place to buy one is on eBay or Amazon. I like them so well I bought one for work and one as a gift

My wife made me a chicken stew that I put in it and it worked out great. One thing I really enjoyed though was chicken broth and cooked chicken breast in this little machine. Came out real creamy and had to dilute it with more broth but was really great. Works great with frozen fruit too.

Now that i am on regular foods I only use it for an occasional shake.< /p>

I use "Better Than Bouillon" low sodium, for broth. Great all by itself.

They also say this one is easier to clean than the Nutribullet but never tried it or the Magic Bullet.

I have a Ninja blender. It is great for shakes but I would not recommend it for smoothies. It does not do well with a lot of frozen fruit or ice. If I am making a smoothie, I have to use an ice shaver.

With my plan I am not allowed raw veggies only cooked. So far I am just doing the creamy Peanut Butter. I did put a small piece of banana one time. My NUT suggested a little pineapple in my cottage cheese.I did puree a little piece of chicken with some cream of chicken soup and it was good. I had to add more broth because it was too thick.
