I was originally planning on blogging about attracting top talent and the recent changes we’ve made to our hiring process….but I’m in the process of drinking a tasty home-made smoothie and thought my time would be better spent singing the virtues of the Magic Bullet. Actually my buddy Glenn just blogged about making soup so I thought I’d try and one up him with something even easier.

The Magic Bullet is one of those silly ‘Seen On TV’ products that has somehow managed to bridge the gap between 1-900 ordering and in-store purchasing. Truth be told I didn’t actually know it existed until my parents got me one this past Christmas.

I’ve only used it to make smoothies and I really don’t care if it can do anything else. It does one thing for me and it does it well… smoothies. So simple to make that I’ve probably had 6 or 7 of them in the week and a half since Christmas. Oh the novelty!

What is it? Really, it’s really nothing more than a small blender with a number of attachments that are geared towards making individually sized beverages, omelette’s, etc. It comes with a 101 recipes book but I haven’t cracked it and probably never will. I’m sure there are alternatives (in fact, I was at Home Depot over the weekend and they had some small blenders on sale) but I can’t speak for their quality or results.

My recommendation… do yourself a favor and go down to the nearest box store and ask for a Bullet, then head down to your neighborhood Costco and grab yourself a bag of frozen blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. If you’re feeling up to it, throw a kg or two of Chocolate protein powder in your basket. Go home and fill the plastic blending container ~3/4’s full of berries, throw in a scoop of protein powder, top it up with Cranberry juice and mix. ~20s later you’ve got yourself an awesome smoothie. Be prepared to suck, it’s quite thick but oh so tasty.
