will the ninja blender work for pureed foods?



Recommended Posts

I'm finally approaching the pureed stage and wondering if the Ninja blender I use for shakes will work for pureeing food...

Thoughts?

TY!

I have used my ninja to make a couple of puréed foods. I have the food processor attachment and have used it for bean purée and have also made applesauce and carrot purée. It works well for making a chicken pate as well When I made a 3 week out version of chicken salad. So yes, a ninja will work for you.

Yes! I used my ninja all the the time when I was on the pureed stage. I have the big ninja system with all the attachments.

I am not to the post surgery stage yet, but I do not have a blender. It seems most like the Ninja. Which version would be best? What attachments, what models? We have a small kitchen, but I do need a blender and will after surgery for sure. Thank you so much!

I have a ninja and had the worst time during the puree phase. It seemed like everything turned out either over liquid-y or not enough. Maybe I just gave up too easily. I was only on it for a week so I concentrated on Soup and Protein Shakes. I have a Vitamix and I love their recipes on their website. Almost all their Soups are smooth and would work for that phase. I particularly recommend the squash soup! And you don't have to have a Vitamix to use their recipes, any blender would do the trick. I premade these soups and froze them until I reached my pureed phase, and I didn't have to cook the whole time.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
