product help

HI I just bought the Sunbeam "Kitchen Assistant" heritage series at Walmart today and before i took everything out of the packaging, I read the directions.  It says it's for chopping, mixing, pureeing, etc., but then it says it's not for mixing liquids.  I bought it to do all of the above, especially to blend the protein shakes, because lumps are not my thing.  It's strang because it looks like a little blender, so I don't know why I couldn't mix up the shakes.  I was originally going to buy the magic bullet but this was half the price and it seems to be the same concept.  Plus I like that this had 6 small graduated containers with covers, so I know how much I'm mixing.  Have any of you purchased one of these and used it to blend up your shakes?  Does it leak or not blend up well?  I really don't want to spend $50 on the magic bullet (yah it's $60 everywhere else but Walmart).  Let me know.  Oh, by the way, my surgery is in 11 days!!!! YiPPPEEEEE

I bought a shaker from bariatric eating. com i love the shaker to make my protein shake it has a wire ball in it mix very well. never had the one your talking about..i only use my shaker

for my shakes i used a shaker from protein section at walmart. it has a screen in the top to break up the protein. i also get my powdered protein from gnc and it disolves very nicely. it's very tasty and creamy. no chunks at all.

i've also heard the magic bullet is wonderful but i never bought one. they are quite pricey. i know they are cheaper on ebay.

I also use  a  shaker with a ball that i got at a kitchen store in Canada.  I got two of them a small one and   a  larger one.   I love it.  no lumps for me either!!!!

I got a shaker at GNC with a wire basket that works great to break up lumps...What I have found really helpful now, tho, is a little chopper from Bladk and Decker, I am pureeing with it, and turning oatmeal into flour for a muffin recipe. So if doesn't work for shakes it will when you are out a littler further ...

I actually bought the Magic Bullet and it does well with most everything.  I also bought one of those shaker with the wire wisk in it from GNC....works great for protein drinks.  I'll let you know how the bullet does with purees starting tomorrow!  Good luck!  Ruth

I use the magic bullet too.......its my new best friend and I think its worth every penny. Its so easy to clean up too!!!
