The Blender

I currently use the Kitchen Aid blender I got when we got married 10 years ago, but I’m not going to lie I am waiting for the day that sucker dies so I can get either the ninja or the Vitamix (it will come down to how much I have saved). From everyone, I have talked to both are great.

The Gear

I have a 32 oz blender bottle which is great for meal replacement, but the next one I buy would be a 20oz for when I'm looking for a quick snack or post-workout pick me up.

The Mix In

I am particular about my protein powders, I want it to be plant-based, not grainy and to not have a wired taste. These are my favorites

$ tip - Costco carries Orgain Organic Protein for a better value.
