Good morning MFPals,
I'm now on my third blender, and am ready to return it. I'm not trying to blend ipods or anything like that, just want a blender that can break up some frozen strawberries, and blend them together with a tbsp of peanut butter, milk, and protein powder. Is it unrealistic to think I shouldn't have to spend more than 70 bucks or so on something that can do that?
Please help! Which do you guys use?
Thanks!
Ryan

I use the magic bullet for exactly that reason - frozen fruit, milk, powder... I've used it for salsa and cream cheese mixes too. get one and get blending!0

I have a cusinart smart power duet. I bought it at Sams Club for around 50 bucks. I had the same problem w/ my smoothies. This one is the "poo" no chunks left in it and it's great as it comes with the food processor too. I LOVE IT, use it every day.0

I also have the magic bullet, but the containers are too small. I'm looking for about 24 oz. total shake volume.0 -

I got the Ninja for Christmas and it is awesome!!! It blends everything COMPLETELY smooth in about 2.5 seconds!! Get it!0

I've heard great things about VitaMix blenders. They are commercial quality and have a HUGE motor that should rip through frozen fruit easily. Pretty expensive, though.0

Get a Blendtec: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KHFA6ZuFTE0

Also going to check out this ninja thing.... interested to see what that is/how much it costs.0 -
I have the majic bullet blender attachment that would hold the amount that you are looking for. I blend ALL kinds of things with mine ( ice cubes, frozen fruit included) and I absolutely love it! It also came with a juicer attachment if that is something that you ar in to...0

I looked at the blendtec and vitamix ones..... I can't spend 400 dollars on a blender. I don't care how many vuvuzelas it can blend... If I had $400 laying around, I could think of plenty of better things to spend it on.
Ninja seems a little more reasonable, might have to look a bit more into that.0 -
I blend up my smoothies every morning in the VITA MIX blender. Amazing power. 5 years old and going strong. Crushes frozen fruit and ice with ease and I never have any lumps or chunks in the drink. Always smooth. Recommend even though it is an initial investment ($~350)0

Go to the vita-mix website and show your wife the benefits of the vitamix. Only blender you will ever buy. I think you could blend rocks if your really had to.0

My dad gave me 2 of these (he ordered 1 and got 2 free or whatever) and they are horrible. They don't crush the ice up at all.0 -
Someone gave us a "Magic Bullet" Blender for us to make smoothies during the time my husband was undergoing chemotherapy and it works really well. Will blend frozen fruit, ice and whatever else you want to blend. Also works as a good food chopper (it has two different blade attachments) if you want to make salsa or dips. I love my magic bullet!

Edit: Just read that you already have one! Good luck finding what you're looking for!0 -
I use a Cuisinart blender (it's a dual blender/food processor) and it works fabulously on everything I've tried in it, including some pretty "tough" mixes of stuff.

Edited to add: This one is about $100. Cuisinart may have some models that are just the blender (without the food processor) that is cheaper.0 -

I use one of these too, it is amazingly strong. I bought it for about $20, it was the highest rated by America's Test Kitchen. That might be a good resource for a blender that actually works also... if you're not a member, email me and I'll look it up for you.0
