Which blender should I get?



Recommended Posts

I'm slowly preparing (no official surgery date) and I can't decide which blender to get. I'm leaning towards the nutribullet because it makes small quantities. Any suggestions?!?!?

I used an immersion blender to make Protein Shakes because it doesn't put any air into the shake -- no foam or bubbles. You can use it to make as much or as little as you want.

I went to target and got a small one similar to the nutribullet. It was obviously a lot cheaper and I don't use it often. I use premiere Protein because it has only 1 G sugar and 30 G protein in 11 oz. I love that I can just keep them in the fridge and grab and go.

I got the nutribullet 12- piece recently. It makes it a bit airy so I'm still trying to figure it out lol. I have been using my immersion blender for years though. I love it.

I use a Blender Bottle. Quick, no foam, can travel - no electricity needed. Works great.

I have a Blender Bottle for when I'm traveling and the brand of blender I have at home is called Vitamix. It works great.

Great thanks. I'm going to get a Blender Bottle for on the go/work, but I want something bigger for at home. Something that will purée also. That's why I was looking at the nutribullet

I have a Blender Bottle and a Vitamix. The Vitamix is big, it does a good job but I would like something that make the small single serving drinks.< /p>

My daughter has a Bullet and she doesn't love it, not matter how hard she screws on the container it leaks (you know how you turn them upside down)

I have heard great things about the Ninja, I want a small one, I think.

I can see how the immersion blender would be good for making purees but I want to make my own smoothies with ice too. Whatever you get has to be powerful to crush ice.

Or do people just not do the ice or frozen fruit in a smoothie things after surgery?

I am trying to decide as well, I think it would be nice to have different things for different needs maybe???

I already had a vitamix that I LOVE. but it is more than you need for bariatric purposes - so if you don't need something that stout for other reasons I think the nutribullet is going to meet needs.

I want to buy a Vitamix but it's so prices here in England. I'm not good with bits. I can't even take orange juice bits so I want something that will really smooth out foods. I'm looking for recommendations.

      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.
