Blender suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Any suggestions for an affordable blender which is easy to clean? Don't expect to use it long term because nutritionist doesn't recommend caloric liquids after first month or so!

I have a cuisinart hand blender. Unbelievably easy to use and clean, and it doesn't put air in your Protein Shakes and make them all bubbly and foamy and gross. It costs about $35 on Amazon, which isn't nothing, but also isn't a multi-hundred dollar ninja whatever.

I already had a Magic Bullet so I didn't buy anything new, but it worked great for the thin liquids and pureed stages.

I have the Oster Personal Blender. It comes with a 20 oz bottle you blend your drinks right in. I love it!

Hey, my hubby gave me one of these a couple of years ago. :) Do you use ice in shakes with yours? How does it do?

@@mykdzmom I don't use ice in my shakes. I can imagine it would probably not do well unless you were starting with soft crushed ice rather than ice cubes.

I have the Nutra Bullet Ninga Pro, its blender, food processor and juicer. Pricey 150 , but so worth it. It is super easy to clean!

      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.
