The Magic Bullet gets used "everyday" in our house. I think every BFLer should have one of these on their kitchen counter. I use it to make alot of my protein shakes.....protein smoothies.....cottage cheese blended with yogurt is like pudding. I could go on and on. When I make protein pancakes I use it to mix the batter. It's very easy to clean and what I really like is you blend your stuff in the containers that you drink or eat out of. I actually have 2 (the spare one is in the cupboard). All the best on your challenge!!

LDPower......Amen to that!!

I just bought one and love it for small batches.  Got it at bed bath and beyond with a 20%off coupon for $40.  It does take a while to grind ice, but is very handy.

i use one for eggs, protein shakes and it mash bananas. I think it is way overpriced. walmart has less expensive brands that work just as well.
