Anyone Have A Magic Bullet?

My family knows of my love of all kitchen gadgetry, and got me a Open Original Shared Link for my birthday. OK - maybe it's not the most powerful thing in the world, but it is cute, and is a great size for leaving out on the counter. It will never replace my Kitchenaid food processor, but it's nice for small jobs.

I'm already having lots of fun with it. We've made smoothies, ground nuts, made omeletes and now have lump-free gravy. :) There is a recipe book with it, but I haven't tried any of them yet.

Anybody have a Magic Bullet? If so, how are you using it?

Happy chopping! :D

I use mine primarily to make bread crumbs. I just take a toasted slice of bread, rip it up, and pulse. :) I've also used it to make cheese dips. I find that it doesn't chop well at all, but it purees really well. Very easy to clean too.

One suggestion: ALWAYS check the seals before using!!! I had one of those seals pop out and it made a HUGE mess and ruined the dish because it shredded it into the container with the food.

I love my magic bullet though. Its awesome for bread crumbs, cookie crumbs (like for pie crusts), mixing dips, pureeing foods, etc. Definitely try some of the recipes in the book.

I have a magic bullet and love it!!! We use it to grind coffee, flax seeds, make our own whipped cream, guacamole, anything you can imagine. When my son started to eat veggies, I pureed them in the magic bullet. My husband uses it to mix marinade and such... definitely smoothies!! It is probably the most used gadget we own. And like you said, it's size is perfect for leaving on the counter.

You'll love it, just keep experimenting with it.

Great tips, ladies! I made some gingerbread, and am going to the store now to buy cream to make whipped cream in the magic bullet! This thing is not going to be good for my waistline. Oh, well, smoothies are healthy. :lol:

We had one until it broke (after over a year of daily, heavy use). My husband bought a generic kind because "it's the same thing but cheaper" and it doesn't work worth beans!!

Anyway, with our magic bullet we made guacomole, pesto sauce, shredded anything, and EVERY morning we made coffee drinks. Either fresh ground for our french press or we used soy milk to whip with flavoring and make a starbucks like drink!!

I LOVED that thing!! I want another one!

I LOVED my magic bullet! In fact I've purchased three. I keep breaking them (it's a long story, lol). I do intend to buy another one, but first I'm trying out a similar type of attachment for my oster blender (that I just bought because I broke my blender (another long story, lol) after I broke my last magic bullet.

I don't cook, so no real recipes, but I used mine mainly for smoothies...very convenient and the clean up is so much easier than dragging out the big blender and taking it apart to clean.

I have one but I don't use it for much. I tried it for salsa and had a mushy mess. Mainly I use it to grind flax seeds or make the occasional smoothie for my daughter.

We use ours at least 4 times per day (2 smoothies each). My favorite is the banana split smoothie:

1 banana

3 frozen strawberries (we get the big bag from Costco)

1/3 cup pasturized egg white (from the carton)

1 tsp chocolate extract (optional as it is hard to find)

Put all in a magic bullet glass, fill with water to about 3/4 inch from the top. Use the taller blade and blend until smooth.

It is the perfect breakfast and mid morning snack. It has protein, fiber and carbs but all healthy.

I make two in the morning. One I drink for breakfast and the second I take to work for a mid-morning snack.

I love the fact that the cups come with covers so you can just wipe the rim, screw on the cover and go. We are still on our first engine but we bought a second one to get more cups. It is the most used appliance in our house.

For the first smoothie of the day I put in all my supplements and it makes them all easy and enjoyable to take.

Have fun!

Michelle

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
