I Live With a Ninja

It’s true, this isn’t just hyperbole. I want to shout this from the roof tops but I am deathly afraid of heights, so I will just say it from the streets. That is, I have lived with a Ninja for the last 10 years and not once has it let me down. Never. And it has been glorious. Let me explain.

As I was thinking about what to write about today, I decided to make a late afternoon snack that consisted of a protein shake. Really simple actually. Just a cup of egg whites, a scoop of non sweetened protein powder, a banana, and a HINT of chocolate sauce. Ok, more like a powerful suggestion. Oh yeah, and a few ice cubes for good measure to make it even more delicious.

With the ingredients co-mingling, I took the shaker cup with the 4 pronged/bladed top down to the basement where we keep the beast. This is where we keep a nuclear blender, otherwise known as the Ninja, in the small laundry room. After hearing an industrial sounding click indicating that the protein synthesising smoothie is locked in, it is time to unleash the 1100 watts of unapologetic, unmitigated, and unabashed power on the unsuspecting ingredients inside the container. With a press of a button, the cacophony begins and is over within seconds. Shock and awe.

Full disclosure, I am in no way affiliated with the Ninja company or any other facsimile…it’s a product I stand by, sit by, and even lay down by in the figurative sense of course. I probably use this blender on average 330 days a year…if you are wondering. This thing is a workhorse and never lets me down..sure it can be loud but that’s why we had to relocate it to the basement. He lives down there rent free.

Now, not to sound like I’m part of the blender bourgeois, but this is one of my prized possessions. If I was ever to divorce, it would be part of the settlement…mine. (My wife never reads this blog anyway). But of course that would never happen! (in case she does…)..

As always, do as you choose. Feel free to get any blender of your choosing…you may be partial to a KitchenAid, a Black & Decker, or an Oster oh my! But at the end of the day, you need a blender that you can bring to a gunfight…you will just need an electrical outlet.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post – until next time!
