    Just my opinion but I have a magic bullet and I think it's total crap. I :heart: my Ninja! $19.99 at Target. Plus it comes in a ton of different colors. I have the red one. :flowerforyou:

    I have a Chris Freytag personal blender - got it for Christmas one year and love it! I bought extra blender cups to go with it. Bought it off of the Home Shopping Network. Blends ice and frozen fruit way better then the bullet, the size is perfect and it has a spill proof lid to go with it. I think the model has changed since I bought mine but I will buy the same brand when I need to. I've had mine for about 4, maybe 5 years and use it every morning and in the evening and it is still going strong. Do a google search or look on a shopping website for it.

    Get a "real" blender just make sure the base will spin onto mason jars... mason jars are available in 250mL 500mL 1L sizes so you can match your blending in container to the size you wish to have. Drink right out of the cup you do the blending in.

    I've got 3 of the bullets but the only use they get right now is to reduce coffee beans to a grind for the morning coffee. Everything else is done with a full-size and full-power blender right on the various mason jars, they even have ones with handles !

    I've used this for 3yrs. Love it. Not so big that you're making 1-2L smoothies.

    :)

    You can find a Magic bullet for pretty cheap now. Don't go through the actuall site go through amazon, or I think walmart sometimes carries them too and they are considerably cheaper. Also if you are willing look on craigs list just make sure you plug it in and turn it on first.

    I bought the GE brand one from Target and it works and mixes well, however, the cups aren't very big so once I get my 2 scoops of protien in and 1 scoop of fiber and berries there is not much more room for milk or water. I think the cups are a little bigger with the Magic bullet so it gives you options.

    Hope this helps :D

    I bought a single serve portable blender from Black and Decker... I think I got it at Walmart for $20.
    Works great, easy to clean, and takes up minimal space.

    ETA - it fits 1cup of berries, 1cup of milk, 1/2 cup of water, and 2 scoops of protein

    Holy cow...if you're looking for a GREAT overall blender/ice/chopper, etc you have GOT to get a Ninja. They are amazing! I got mine of QVC but you can also get them at target. There are multiple blades and they are great to get through ice. I love mine. One of the best investments I have made!

    Found the link to Target. Looks like they now sell the 3 sizes together (they also have one that has 2 sizes for $10 less...you get the smallest an largest containers)

    I use the smallest container the most (perfect for single serve protein shakes, etc)!

    I have a Cuisinart. A great little device! It has a few parts as it's like a Magic Bullet. It does so much! I use it to make my smoothies in the morning before work. Crushes ice great as well.

    I am not sure what Ninja you have, but the one I have came with the large blender and 2 single mixing cups. You just attach the blender portion to the top of the cup, blend and put on the to go lid.. simple as that.. and I LOVE it.. I make both my shakes either at night (and freeze them) or in the morning on my way out the door. Fast and easy. I you already have a Ninja, check their website to see if you can just purchase the cups and blender lid without having to have to buy an entirely new blender.

    Why mess about with an extra container to wash? Get a hand blender.

    I have a VitaMix and would not trade it for anything. It's not a single serve, but I have no problem putting my smoothie into a travel cup. The VitaMix is ultra easy to clean, just rinse it. If there are stubborn spots that don't come out with just a quick rinse all you have to do is fill it 1/2-3/4 with warm water and run it on high. I only use soap when I've had garlic, onions, or spices in it. It's an amazing machine, well worth the money.

    Magic Bullet for me. Love it and use it all the time for my fruit smoothies and hubby uses it to grind his coffee.

    I have an Oster and it works great. It's hard to find one that works as well as a regular sized blender. Found it at Target. And as a bonus it's hot pink. :)

    I love mine, but it is orange. I bought an extra bottle. Bought them at walmart. Works great, just needs a rinse after use.

    The Magic Bullet all the way. Also I just bought the baby Magic bullet for my friends baby shower and she loves it! Ha

    But the bullet is amazing. Within 1 minute I make a shake in the morning and fly out the door! So worth it :)

    I agree with the Hamilton Beach one (http://www.target.com/p/hamilton-beach-single-serve-blender-black/-/A-10858328). Cheap and works really well!
