Can anyone recommend a good/inexpensive mini food processor to grind/blend my food?



Recommended Posts

QVC.com has a blender similar to the magic bullet but for only $30ish. I've been debating buying it but haven't found I really NEED it yet. It is a LITTLE more powerful at 250 watts but not a ton.

Am attaching a link to Amazon.com for chopper I love. I have bought a number of them as gifts and people seem to agree with me. The ONLY place I've been able to find it is at Amazon. Reasonably priced, works great and best of all---easy easy clean up!

I just saw one at wal mart. I mini blender, that you drink out of the same glass it's blended in. Like the magic bullet but only one glass and not the 50 extra pieces. It was 14.80...

I bought the mini Cuisinart food processor and it is a pain to assemble. It's only 3 interlocking parts (plus the blade) that I always have to wrestle into submission. It was $30 at Big Lots. I then bought a Better Chef blender from Overstock.com that was advertised as great at crushing ice, but it only does a fair job.

faithmd,

I just bought that Oster attachment mini-blender thing. It cost me $13. Have you used it yet? I've had the Oster for a while, was looking for something like the MajicBullet, and saw the Oster thing. Do you like it?

I have a magic bullet too and it just collects dust. I can't keep the plastic gasket rings in place, so it always leaks when I use it.

I really like my Magic Bullet. It is so easy to use and easy to clean. Works great for me. I use it every day. I got it at Linen N Things and used one of their discount coupons.

      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.
