Does anyone have a "Bullet"?

privatediva · 07-10-2011, 05:03 PM

The food processor, not the ammo...

I'm thinking about getting one to take on my little vacation because I don't think the apartment we're renting will have a food processor. It appeals because it has smaller containers...but I don't know anyone who actually owns the thing.

Charms · 07-10-2011, 05:19 PM

I have one and love it!

Use it for making shakes, purees and guacamole too.

Works great.

LilacBruze · 07-10-2011, 05:20 PM

I love mine too!

privatediva · 07-10-2011, 05:33 PM

yay! just ordered one. Thank you ladies!

newyorkmeg · 07-10-2011, 05:58 PM

Need to take mine out of the box....

privatediva · 07-10-2011, 06:35 PM

I may never use it once I get home, newyorkmeg, but I think it will come in very handy on my trip

try2basunbeam · 07-11-2011, 03:15 PM

I use it all the time. I make my strawberry ice in p2, salad dressings in p2 and p3...I've used it more on the diet than I ave EVER used it before.

privatediva · 07-11-2011, 03:16 PM

Thanks! I am excited to try it out. Should be here on Wednesday.

LilacBruze · 07-11-2011, 03:23 PM

I use mine so much that when a certain chain store had them on clearance, I bought another one JUST to have as backup!

I also use mine to make frappachino type coffee drinks. Right now I just use ice, double strength coffee, and stevia, but really look forward to using Da Vinci flavored syrups and HWC!

skyung24 · 07-11-2011, 03:24 PM

I have one and LOVE it - I'm not sure who makes it but I know there's a personal size blender out there as well which my husband bought to take to work to make his shakes and he loves it and it was about 20 bucks.

RedsSkinnyJeans · 07-11-2011, 03:29 PM

I have one which, i now realize, is CLEARLY under used and under appreciated.
I had only thought to use it for shakes.

See? I'm a total culinary-tard!

privatediva · 07-11-2011, 03:37 PM

yay...y'all are making me feel righteous about my purchase

heh

AngelMc · 07-11-2011, 03:40 PM

i use mine to make strawberry icees on P2, and when not on HCG I make my own salsa with it too. Yummmm.

jenna... · 07-11-2011, 03:44 PM

I have 2 but don't use them. I'm hooked on my Ninja. But if I needed to take one on vacation the Bullet would most defiantly pack easier.

Tylar_Connar · 07-11-2011, 03:56 PM

I was going to post no but I want a Ninja!!

We used it at the beack a few weeks ago. My sil bought it for my mil for Christmas.

Its awesome to make icees in with SF syrup!!

mokih · 07-12-2011, 08:27 AM

We bought one when our daughter had surgery on her mouth - she was on a liquid only diet for weeks.

I love the thing, one impulse buy that I definitely don't regret!

I used it on p3 to make cocoa crack mousse every few days - yum!

okay...I think I need to know about this. When the time comes for me to do P3, I am all over anything with a name like that!!!!

The *only* thing I have had stray, unfaithful thoughts about during my VLCD is darrrrk chocolate.

makeupmom · 07-12-2011, 09:47 AM

I have gone through one and am on my second one. I love mine.

mokih · 07-12-2011, 02:18 PM

privatediva - I'm not really a fan of the cocoa crack, but I LOVE the mousse!

2 parts heavy whipping cream
1 part cocoa
sweetener to taste - I usually use half splenda and half stevia, it just tastes better that way

Put all in the tall magic blender cup and blend until the sound the blender makes changes. If it gets too thick I stir in a bit of cream or milk to thin it out a bit.

This may be the naughtiest thing I've ever read

I will really look forward to that! It sounds wonderful.

newyorkmeg · 07-12-2011, 08:09 PM

Ok now I really need to take mine out of the box

RedsSkinnyJeans · 07-13-2011, 07:01 AM

Ok, so let me see if this cooking-tard has it right. You use the Magic Bullet for:

Slushies
Chocolate Mousse

Would ya'll please post some specifics? Recipes for sauces, shakes, slushies, or whatever you use it for? Clearly I am missing out on using this handy little device.

I did try to make a coffee drink this morning. It sucked. Had to throw it out.

I'm coining a new phrase. "CULINARY IMPOTENCE"

And there's no little blue pills anywhere that are going to help me. So please post some recipes!

shelbyla · 07-13-2011, 12:20 PM

Red,

For the mousse, I put in about 3/4c HWC (a LOT of calories!), about 1 heaping tablespoon of cocoa, a dash of vanilla, and a couple of droppers of liquid stevia or a couple of teaspoons of splenda. Blend on high for about 20 secs. Makes the very best chocolate mousse you can imagine. I've also made it with 1 scoop low-carb chocolate protein powder and HWC (nothing else) Also excellent.

privatediva · 07-14-2011, 09:13 AM

Bullet came. Just made "the" shake. OMGOMGOMGOMG

That's FANTASTIC!!!

amylou · 07-14-2011, 09:26 AM

Aw Red...don't beat yourself up! There's hope for you yet

I bought a bullet first, and then a ninja awhile after. The ninja kicks butt!! I love it! I know have my bullet at work.

I use them mostly for smoothies, but when I get to P3 I use it a lot for chopping veggies..just pulse it; don't run it; and it will chop 'em up good. It works great on pulverizing cauliflower for faux rice and potatoes. I made the cauli "breadsticks" and "pizza crust" a lot on Atkins...and the ninja gets the cauli nice and fine.

Experiment, experiment, experiment!

Don't fear the ninja!...or the bullet!

LilacBruze · 07-14-2011, 09:34 AM

Don't ask how... but I set my Bullet on fire last night.

Blew the fuses in the kitchen, there was a horrible stink, an explosion, sparks flying, everything...

Luckily I had a spare one.

RedsSkinnyJeans · 07-14-2011, 11:22 AM

HOW?

amylou · 07-14-2011, 12:14 PM

I've noticed w/ the bullet, if you lock it "on" (rather than pulse it) it will get that burning smell.

The ninja nevers does that...plus you don't have to shake it to redistribute things inside like you sometimes have to w/ the bullet.

alonewithyou · 07-14-2011, 12:28 PM

I have a magic bullet, but it's not really a friend of mine. Which blade do you use to crush ice and make smoothies?
