Let's talk equipment - Magic Bullet... and... ?

Thanks, yup, I have samples from Celebrate and BE... for some reason I'm not trying them though. LOL. 

Yeah, I'm allergic to soy so Unjury is totally out. A lot of the "whey" ones have soy in them too. Grrr... it's been funny trying to find something I can use - much less like.

All I bought was a cheap 16oz (I think) small blender from walmart for $15. It pureed everything I needed it to. Had 2 glass cups with it. I used it for pureeing full liquids to smooth consistancy; and then for mushies (meats, egg and chicken salad.....)

My teenage daughter bought me disney themed toddler plates -- mickey and princess with matching forks and spoons. Very silly, but actually I love the plates...the mickey head shape is perfect for a couple oz of protein in the middle, vegies and dressing in his ears....(!)

For me, I wanted to keep it simple.

Oh, lots and lots of little tiny rubbermaid, tupperware containers for little tiny portions for taking things with you.

I like this ninja.  I prefer it over my bullet because it truly does give me a real smoothie and not a chunky smoothie.

I have 1 bullet and 3 blender ball shakers. I use the ball shakers more than I do the bullet.

When I first started purees/mushies I used my espresso coffee cups. They held almost more than I could eat at first. They worked well for my first 2 months. I also found some little tiny condiment cups in Walmart. They and the espresso cups were all I used at first. I still use them, too. I find I have to remind myself that I can't eat much. These little containers really help with portion control.
