Magic Bullet and Alternatives

What kind of individual blender for protein smoothies do y'all recommend? Magic bullet? Hamilton Beach? I'm hoping to spend only around $30.

We bought a Ninja.  We used itsome at first,but found that it was really easy to turn your protein dring into a frothy mess. We went back to the "shaker" cups.  Eventually we settled in with drinking Premier Protein drinks which we buy by the case at Sams Club for about $15 for 12.  They are tasty and ready to go.  :)

I use a shaker cup as well... But I have the bullet .. And just got the nutribullet .. Absolutely love them both!!!

I bought a "personal blender" at GNC for about $20. The blender part screws onto the drinking cup, you blend, unscrew the blade, screw on a flip top cover, and go on your way. I am glad I didn't spend a ton, and it works great!

I spent the money and bought a Magic Bullet. I have really loved it for protein shakes/smoothies and cooking in general.  It is small enough that I have taken it to work when I didn't have time to make a shake in the morning or when I wanted a shake for lunch.  I think I paid $60 at Target at the after Christmas sales last year. I use it almost every other day, love it! 

I bought my magic bullet right after Christmas for $29 at Fred Meyer.  I am loving it already and am thinking of picking up another to leave at work.

My vote is for the Ninja. I have had one for a couple of years, before my rny. I use it for everything and i think it makes excellent shakes, icees, chicken salad, etc. It is multipurpose in my opinion and the best kitchen item I've ever bought. I would do it all over again in heartbeat. I love it so much that I bought one for my mother and sister.

Picked up a Hamilton Beach for 16.00 at Walmart. I like to so much I bought another to travel with.

I bought a Hamilton Beach at Walmart for 16.00. I use it everyday for my AM coffee protein shakes.

Did you know that mason jars fit on the full sized blenders?
