Surprise! This stuff is REALLY GOOD!

Read First Before Buy Fruitein Rainbow Shake 1 3 Powder

I originally bought this to use as a "Shakeology" dupe because I'm doing Insanity and can't afford the real thing. My research led my to this product. It has an impressive list of ingredients and the taste is not bad at all. It tastes best in my opinion when I blend it with ice and use almond milk (or any lowfat milk). I tried it with apple juice but found it to be super sweet and with water it tastes kind of chalky. I am currently using this shake as a substitute for breakfast. I also read that these type of shakes are good for your health when dealing with cholesterol or high blood pressure for example. And I have been dealing with high blood pressure problems for the past 4 years, it's hereditary. My numbers were always around 137/93 or the lowest being 128/89. I work out and have made changes to my diet and have tried all type of natural ways like taking certain vitamins/supplements but the numbers still won't drop unless I take prescription pills (which I refuse to take because I'm stubborn like that and don't like the idea of being on pills for the rest of my life). Anyhow I've been drinking my Fruitein shake once per day for about 1 week and my blood pressure dropped to normal! 120/80 or 119/77 for example..I couldn't believe it! This is the only thing different thing that I've been doing so it has to be this shake. I would rather drink this shake everyday than take a pill. I am a fan for life and I want to try the green foods version next.

Great Product

Read First Before Buy Oster 6 Cup Plastic 10 Speed Blender

This is a pretty good blender for $20. I've only had it for about half a week, but it handled a banana and apple smoothie made with ice just fine on the "liquefy" setting.
I knew when I bought it that I wasn't going to be getting the world's greatest blender, but for this price range I feel pretty satisfied so far and I think that a person could get daily use out of it for at least a few years if they were gentle with it. There are probably some duds out there, but mine's not bad at all and I wanted to leave a positive review to help other buyers hear about my good experience with the blender.

I also think it's worth noting that more people probably leave reviews when they have a bad experience than when they have a good one. It might look 60:40, but it's probably more 90:10.

Nice Mini Blender, Great For Smoothies & On The Go Drink Container, Blends Well

Best Review on Oster BLSTPB WGN Blend 250 Watt Blender

I've had this blender about 3 weeks now and I use it about 4 times a week. It works really great. I like to make fruit smoothies to replace lunches some days. I don't use the drinking attachment that goes with it. I drink these at home, and just pour them in a cup. The only thing that is a negative for me is I use ice cube trays for ice, and it wont break up the large pieces of ice. I have to put some ice cubes in a ziploc bag and smash them with a tenderizer to break them up lol. My favorite smoothie is soy milk, crunchy peanut butter, banana, tofu, and honey. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a single serving size blender.

Update:
After about 2 months of use, the part where the blender attaches to the base began to rub. I would put the cup on the base, and the motor spins the metal teeth inside. The part where they attach is made of rubber, which would get very hot and melt. After a while it stopped spinning because it didn't fit together anymore. I was very disappointed with this!!

Best Review on Ninja NJ602 Kitchen System 1100

If you are looking for a traditional juicer that removes all the fiber and leaves you with watery consistency juice, this product is NOT for you. However, if you want to keep the fiber in your drinks I would HIGHLY recommend the Ninja.

We now use it every day to make healthy veggie and fruit drinks. The combinations are endless - today's drink is chard, carrots and banana, yesterday's was chard, carrot apple and ginger. We love that the fruits and veggies get pulverized into a drinkable state because we get to enjoy the benefits of the extra fiber in our diets. We have had no trouble drinking them through a relatively small straw. If you can't handle a juice drink with pulp in it, you will hate the juice made from the Ninja.

That said, I haven't used any of the other features of the Ninja Kitchen System. I have a countertop Kitchen Aid mixer that I love so I see no need to try to mix cookie batter in the Ninja. But it does come with several mixing attachments so if you need a more versatile kitchen appliance, this might do the trick.

It does wonders with ice so if you like icy summer drinks it will be perfect.

Best Tasting Protein Powder

Best Review on Now Foods Protein Chocolate 10 Pound

This little green thing is turning out to be an outsized blessing!

Perfect size for making a personal smoothie in the breakfast.

Here's some things to watch for.

Blade does not turn:
Some reviewers say blade does not turn or gets stuck after a while so you have to push the food/fruits down. The way around this is to drop the small pieces in first, and be sure to fill the bottom third with some liquid (soy milk for me) such that the blades are covered, the liquid will help move whatever fruits you have.

Burnt Motor Smell:
Yes, there is some faint burnt oil smell if you keep the motor running for a while. Point is, this is a personal sized blender so go easy - you won't have to run it a minute to get the job done, 10 sec a go is good enough for me.

Have it 2 months now, with the strawberry/blueberry/banana/soy milk smoothies I am getting for breakfast (and some times dinner); over the greasy hams and bacons - I have lost 8 pounds. Can't wait to see my next cholesterol test.

If you have a fridge in the office, I would recommend also one at work. A friend has recommended Ninja / Vitamix - the Cadillac version... I am just laughing to the bank with this one... green looks great in the kitchen and takes up so little table space.

PS: I have never encountered the difficult-to-clean situation, just rinse it under tap water right away.

Commercial blender = no hassles in the kitchen

Best Review on Hamilton Beach HBB908 Commercial Blender

I've had this blender for about three months now. It has mixed everything I put in reliably, including a few smoothies that had "too much" frozen fruit in them.

Advantages for this blender:
1. The lid stays on. Suction cups hold the blender in place. You can, in fact, turn the 908 on and walk away for thirty seconds. When you come back, your drink is blended. Period.
2. Blends smoothly and without hassle. If frozen fruit/ice gets hung up partway down the blender, just let it mix. It will take care of itself.
3. Dark blue color hides drips. Yes, you still clean it. :-) But it doesn't look dirty forever because water splashed on it once.
4. The pitcher is easy to pour cleanly. My old blender made me think I was clumsy because it almost always spilled!
5. Pitcher does not need to be placed precisely on the base, or facing a certain way, to blend.
6. Pitcher is bigger than it appears. This has a 44 oz/1.25 liter capacity.
7. Blender is designed to clean fully with a rinse of the pitcher and lid.

Disadvantages for this blender:
1. Dark blue color will look out of place in most kitchens.
2. Just has High and Low settings, not a lot of "features". Unless you have very specific needs, the extras don't make a better blender. You don't need pulse to crush ice; this crushes ice on High. Nobody can tell if their drink was mixed on "Whip" or "Frappe" or "Cream" - it should just be blended! Timers don't matter when the blender does its job in 30 seconds every time.

TL;DR version: This blender is made to be used in bars, by people who don't care about it. It blends frozen drinks thoroughly, without needing attention, and cleans with a quick rinse. It has managed everything I put in within the 30 seconds claimed. This includes some drinks that would have overwhelmed my old blender.
