Anyhow, my daughter bought me an Oster 16 speed blender and it iswonderful. I make my shakes with two scoops of ProBlend 55 (anyflavor), seven big ice cubes, and either frozen banana or frozenstrawberries -- and then I eat it with a spoon. The blender hasworked wonderfully since last September and I use it at least twicedaily. It has a " special " ice crusher button!HTHNina in Maine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Rival makes an ice crusher that is about the size of an electric can opener that does the trick for me and also saves the life of my blender. It does a nice job of finely crushing ice cubes, and I add the ice to the blender drinks. I've had my ice crusher and blender forever -- got the ice crusher years ago when I used to make blended frozen drinks (pina coladas and margaritas) as well as low-cal milkshakes (remember those Alba shakes?). Keltie Blenders OK all, I am looking for a really good blender that will actually chop up my ice in my protein drinks and make the drink a nice thick milk shake like consistency.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Vicki: I have a Kitchen Aid blender and before that one a Hamilton Beach that took quite a beating before I laid it to rest. I got the Hamilton Beach one as a shower gift before we got married. We'll be married 15 years in August. Just got the Kitchen Aid one a few months ago and works like a champ. Also, to get that nice thick milk shake consistency, I make skim milk ice cubes and throw 2-3 in my shake while blending. (Don't look !!!!) Also, the milk cubes seem to be less aggravating to the blades on the blender. Comes out like a shake from Carvel, Friendly's, or from whatever part of the country you're from that has a decent ice cream chain. Good luck.
