Hi Everyone,
My Husband and I bought the Magic Bullet. I’ve been wanting to buy one since it came out but I keep forgetting about it (it was also expensive when it first came out anyway). So when my Husband bought one, I also bought one. We keep his at home and I took mine to work (the blender, 2 cups, and sipper lids).
We bought it 2 weeks ago but we just started using it last week. We both read the manual and its a simple and easy to use product. Apparently, there is a 21 piece set that comes with a blender/juicer but we bought the 17 piece set that excluded that item.
We started making our own drinks. The first drink he made for me was a chocolate banana rum shake. It was sooo yummy! It almost tasted like the drink that I always order when I dine at the Cheesecake Factory. It’s called a Flying Gorilla. Of course when he made it, it was a healthier version. He used fat free milk, fat free chocolate syrup and a banana. And it was really good. So I bought a low fat chocolate milk and I’m currently using that with the banana instead.
We have been experimenting with fresh fruits and started adding protein powder yesterday. My Husband never really knew or liked protein powders, bars, etc. He went to the doctor last month and he needed to change his life style for medical reasons. So far, he’s doing Great and I’m Proud of him. Buying the Magic Bullet is part of his change, LOL. He’s more than happy to create smoothies with this. And adding the protein powder is a bonus because he can’t taste it and he needs it as part of his new diet.
Probably over the weekend, I’m going to try some of the recipes from the book that it came with. The entire unit is light, lighter than a regular blender. It’s portable and easy to clean. My Mom bought a spin off version of it and it works for her. But this is the 3rd spin off that she has. One of my cookware packages (pans, pots, etc) came with a blender that looked like the Magic Bullet. She broke it. Then she bought another one that’s blue and very light. She didn’t break it but its not strong enough to break big chunks of ice cubes. So she bought the 3rd one last week, I’ll see how long it will last.
Anyway, we’re both happy with it so far. The prices definitely went down because they use to sell these for about $100. We bought it for about $55 at Walmart. Most retail stores carries it. The cheapest place I saw it for was around for $50 at Costco. I also saw it at Target for $55 also.
I’ll input some more info later one. I want to experiment with it for cooking. I really like the cups with the handles on them. You make a smoothie and when you’re done, place the sipper lid on it (so you don’t put you’re mouth on the screw grooves). And the sipper lids comes in 4 colors so you know which drink is yours.
If you have any info on this product, leave a comment.
Cheers!
