Nutri-bullet? Which food processors work best?

[NicoleSW 78]

Getting ready to get a food processor for making shakes, puréeing food, etc. I don't want to drop a lot of money but want to get the best value. What have you guys had luck with? Thanks!

I'd recommend taking a look more at a stick blender than a food processor. That worked much better for me when talking about pureeing Soups etc...

My advice would be to not spend a lot of money. I couldn't use the blender for drinks it caused too much air in my tummy. I just shook lightly or stirred. I personally had a ninja package i got from Sam's club and i have loved it for years. I heard bad things about blades breaking when using ice for some products. Make sure you check them out. Wish you luck on your journey!

My Ninja sounds fine blending shakes but does not do well with smoothies using ice. I have to shave the ice and add it.

for making shakes I use a product called the Tribest personal blender. it is small light weight and does a great job for shakes and smoothies. i have also traveled with it. It comes with different accessories depending on which package you purchase. Price range $45-$90. I think it does alright on ice, i usually just use a little bit of frozen fruit and it does a great job on that.

I have a bullet and I have found that it makes things VERY airy, like some others here said. I put a little fruit in mine now, so I need something powerful to blend the frozen banana & berries. But I often have to let it sit awhile b/c of the foam on top. I'm 7 weeks post-surg. I didn't blend a whole lot of food, it might not be worth a huge investment. I did soft foods like Soups, the veggies are so soft already they can be smooshed with a fork. On my plan, blended foods was a pretty short phase between pure liquids and soft foods.

Same here on the airy drinks. You are right, when I let them sit for awhile the foam dissipates and then I can drink without problems. It seems worse when I used any milk base

That's great information! Something I hadn't thought of with the extra air! Thanks!

I have a sleeve and bought a breville active blend which I LOVE it's £30 from Debenham so convenient to use and you can keep your fruit intake up. Add avocado and flax seed to help with skin hair nails :-)

I personally like my ninja blender I got it on sale for less than $100
