Veggie Puree Anyone?

by

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Okay, this may be ‘so-last-year’ but I’ve been happily riding the veggie puree bandwagon since Christmas day when Janice and I unknowingly both gifted each other a copy of Jessica Seinfeld’s now-famous cookbook.

Apparently I don’t watch enough Oprah and late night TV because not only did I miss last year’s famous Oprah interview with Jessica Seinfeld, but I hadn’t even heard about the Magic Bullet until I read about it in Jessica’s cookbook.

I did manage to get in the loop enough to hear about the drama that Jessica’s “Deceptively Delicious” may have borrowed ideas from Missy Chase Lapine’s “The Sneaky Chef”. But, to be honest, the fact that her cookbook may not be very original doesn’t bother me. The idea that you can add cauliflower puree to scrambled eggs was news to me and I don’t care who told me about it. I’m glad I know now.

I think fortifying every-day recipes with pureed vegetables is brilliant and I can’t believe how much extra nutrition I can stuff into myself and my kids without any of us gagging or whining.

And, of course, I’m all for teaching children to eat vegetables in their natural state — load up their plates with carrots, peas and corn. But why not slip in some extra squash, broccoli and beets to the other parts of breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert? And it doesn’t have to be deceptive, you can teach your kids about the benefits of healthy eating and have them help you wash, puree and cook.

Any new habits that help us get healthier are a good thing right?

But sometimes having a new kitchen gadget makes starting a new habit a bit more fun.

Remember how I mentioned I hadn’t even heard about the Magic Bullet until I read that Jerry Seinfeld had bought one from an infomercial to give to his puree-loving wife? Well, of course, then I wanted one… But since I already had a super fancy blender and a Cuisinart in the cupboard, I restrained myself.

But then… when the folks from Magic Bullet asked us to test out their new Platinum Pro Magic Bullet and offer a few to our readers, we were quick to agree. The new Platinum Pro is slightly larger than its predecessor and has 40% more motor power. You can watch an independent TV test run of the new Bullet on YouTube.

The testers on that show decided the unique little upside-down blender did a great job, and I’ll second them. I tested out grating carrots and making a smoothie before my neighbor stole it to puree everything in her house. Happily, she returned my new blending machine to me the next day with great reports of pureeing enough baby food to feed her little girl for a month.

Now since all you Internet friends are too far for me to lend you my Magic Bullet for your pureeing sessions, we’ll just have to give away a few. And if you don’t end up lucky this time, you can pick up one at http://www.magicbulletplatinumpro.com for $99.99 or get one at Macy’s.

Leave us a comment and tell us what you’d blend up with a new Magic Bullet. (It would also be nice if you spread the word about this fun giveaway by linking to this post and/or telling your friends.)

We’ll draw three random winners on Friday, June 6th. Make sure you check back then and/or subscribe to our RSS feed so you don’t miss the announcement. We also email the winners, but with spam filters eating messages, you need to check back to be sure. If we don’t hear from a winner within a week, we’ll draw a new winner.

This giveaway is open to US and Canadian shipping addresses.

LOL I’ve always wanted a magic bullet and you can bet I’ll be waiting on pins and needles til the winners are announced.

It would also be nice to do kid-sized smoothies.

  388. We always have lots and lots of fresh fruit and fresh vegetables in our home. I am always getting creative in the kitchen conjuring up delicious concoctions for my husband and 3 children. I have always wanted a Magic Bullet which is much more powerful than our rather old blender, so if I had my own Magic Bullet I would just be able to create a lot more quality smoothies out of either fresh fruit or fresh vegetables. If we have ice cream, yogurt, juices or milk in the house, that is always one of the basic ingredients I also add to my creations. Thank you for offering this great giveaway with a fabulous prize!

  420. My picky-eater texture-sensitive 12-year-old thinks ketchup is a food group. Not just a food, a whole food group. I’d puree vegetables and hide them in ketchup.

  502. I also enjoyed Jessica Seinfeld’s new book, and was fortunate enough to catch her on, Oprah. 🙂
    That Magic Bullet, would be such a fun, time saving, little contraption! I’ve always fed my baby fruit and vegetable puree (even before Jessica’s book) but my method was to boil the fruit/veggies, and then mash them, let them sit and cool down in the fridge for 5 minutes, and then feed the baby! After the first few times, as a new parent, I finally figured I would have to just cook alot, and bottle some, just to have some, “on demand,” for my baby. Wow, this Magic Bullet, would be great! My boil/mash days, would be over! 🙂
    P.S. Susan & Janice, I LOVE your site, and cute commentaries! Thank’s for all of the great info, great taste in stuff, and helpful advice! Keep up the great work!

  511. Actually, to be totally honest with you, my daughter Jennifer has wanted a Magic Bullet since like forever. I want to win this for her.

  515. I have one of these and they are so awesome.
    Well my son now wants to take it home with him.
    So want to win one for him or myself.
    I use mine for everything.
    Its getting worn out by so much use.
    Thank you so much…

  533. Smoothies, Slushies, when I can at the end of the summer…pasta sauce and salsa………did I mention Smoothies and Slushies? lol the Grandkids love them

    Reply

  534. Wow, I’d LOVE one! I have three little ones that get baby food and have yet to find a processor that will really make things fine enough to go through a bottle nipple (two are fed this way). I’d also love to try the veggie recipes but that will be one day… when I get time 🙂 With 4 under 5 life gets a bit busy!

  535. Mmmm, just thinking of all the possibilities I could do with this! Salsa, milkshakes, or smoothies. Yum!! Please enter me, thanks!

  536. I love milkshakes of ALL kinds and I would make quickies A LOT!! I especially like chocolate or strawberry milkshakes.

  543. Oh! I’d LOVE to win this.
    I would make smoothies with bananas & stawberries.

  544. Oh wow, lots of things! Baby food would be great to make with this! So would a lot of desserts!

  555. OK – Don’t call me crazy! I love salsa, but hate the chunks of onions and peppers. I would use it to puree my salsa! Yummy!

  556. I would love to use this great invention to make baking a breeze, chopping and dicing, would go so easily!

  559. I would try making homemade hummus and other dips like guacamole in addition to smoothies, of course.

    Reply

  561. I would use it to sneak pureed veggies into my wife’s food! Not the greatest of eaters, and I worry about her.

    Reply

  563. SALSA! My son got all of us hooked on fresh salsa however using a blender each time is time consuming and a pain for clean up (not to mention just too big). The magic bullet would be the perfect size so we can start enjoying it more regularly.

    Reply

  564. Would be a great help with entertaining, from dips to smoothies. You could have everything done in a snap.

    Reply

  565. My friend had a tasty sauce recipe for chicken riggies that I’d use the Magic Bullet for

  569. I’d make fresh pico de gallo or fresh fruit smoothies. This is a great product….I find myself watching the corny infomercial all the time, but still haven’t bought one.

  570. Where do I start. I have a smoothie for breakfast everyday (in my antique blender) and I love pasta, so I would make sauces all the time.

  588. sigh..my MIL gave me one a year ago. I thought “too many parts” and handed it off to my sister.
    who uses it everyday. my 12 year old comes back from her house every visit with “why don’t WE have one mom??”

    i would so so love one to make smoothies with, and it would be a real push for my daughter to use to start making her own healthy snacks and foods!!

    Reply

  594. Since I’m tinkering with the idea of going ‘raw’ this would be perfect for making fruit smoothies, fresh salsa and many wonderful fruit & veggie concoctions

    Reply

  596. I’d use it to make smoothies, coffee milk shakes, pesto and….baby food for my upcoming grandchild (with my daughter-in-law’s help, of course!).

    Reply

  604. Fruit smoothies, I don’t like bananas or mangos to just eat, but I do love them in a smoothie with apple or orange juice.

    Reply

  606. We live in rural, rural Montana and all my neighbors love Mexican food. We get together occasionally and cook up a potluck Mexican feast, but everyone loves different salsa, picante, etc. With the Magic Bullet, I could impress everyone by having the potluck at my house and making the salsas, picantes, etc. to everyone’s individual order as my contribution to the party.

    Reply

  608. I’d make lots of lovely soups! By blending the veggies and adding them back into the broth they were cooked in, you can make a creamy vegetable soup without the cream! Far more healthy, but just as delicious!

    Reply

  610. I would blend up veggies and use my DD cookbook…I need to eat more veggies and so does the rest of my fam!

  612. We have had one for over 3 years and it is dying we used it sooooo much. My kids and I love fresh fruit and yogurt, and the list goes on. Fantastic gadget.

  616. I would use this for everything that people normally use a food processor for. I don’t have a food processor due to space limitations. I have seen all the great reviews on the Magic Bullet and think its perfect for my needs. I could whip up Pina Coladas and healthy smoothies. It would be a real timesaver!

    Reply

  617. I would love, love, love this. Baby food, smoothies, salsa, and absolutely anything and everything else I can think of.

  624. I’d use it to blend my famous meat sauce, and I’m sure would find a thousand other uses for it!

  626. Greetings! We don’t have our new daughter yet, but once we do we will follow the hidden veggie recipes too! Also, since there are a few veggies that DH doesn’t like, I can use it to make smaller portions of my favorites. AND everyone loves smoothies. We make homemade pesto too. I am sure we will find lots of ideas – can’t you grate hard cheese in it too?

  642. I would love to win this. I have to go on a strict liquid and pureed diet soon and this would be perfect! I would use it to make protein shakes and healthy smoothies, pureed soups and veggies. One of my favorite smoothie recipes is; One small container sugar free vanilla yogurt, 6 fresh strawberries, one half of a frozen banana, and a 1/8 cup of orange juice. It is wonderful!

    Reply

  650. We would make smoothies, I just got on a green-smoothie kick! And summer soups, yum. And puree for eggs and stuff like that, I like Jessica’s book, too. But my son eats veggies just fine on his plate, I just want to give that extra boost!

  666. MMMmmm! Magic Bullet = Margaritas Oh, and those cool infused butters and cream sauses they make on the infomercial.

    Reply

  672. I would use the Magic Bullet for baby food, salsa, smoothies, and find more ways to get those veggies into my son and husband. I use an old blender for baby food now. I have to use a chopstick or something to help it along sometimes. O’well, still gets the job done.

I have a older Magic Bullet that I got for a 2006 Christmas present and it “was” the greatest until the gears started wearing out from all the baby food and other fantastic things we used it for!

  716. I’d make smoothies for summer drinks and also my daughter’s baby foods. I use a mini cuisinart now and this magic bullet looks easier. I’ve even thought about buying one, but just haven’t taken the plunge. Also, I’ve been thinking that Jessica Seinfeld’s book would be a great investment. My husband hates veggies and though he is learning to eat them for his health, I’d love to add some puree to his foods to ensure he’s getting healthy veggies more often.

  717. Smoothies, smoothies, and more smoothies. My youngest loves them. Oh, and did I mention smoothies.

  737. I would for sure be making smoothies in it. I’d also probably try to purree some veggies to stick in pizza sauce or pasta sauce to help my son get more veggies in his diet.

    Reply

  738. I’ve never had one of these before so I’m pretty sure I would go absolutely mad making anything and everything. I’d probably settle into a pretty predictable schedule of smoothies though.

    Reply

  745. I’m going to make all of our baby food, so I would love it for that.

    Then for my husband and I, I would get the cookbooks you mentiond and be deceptive on us!! Neither of us are big veggie eaters, so it would be a good way for us to “eat” them. Even if we knew it was hiding in our foods!! 🙂

    Reply

  747. There are so many things I would love to use this for! I would love to be able to mix up smoothies because my son absolutely refuses to eat any type of fruits or vegetables. Blended, it would be more appetizing to him I’m sure! I would use it to make cream sauces, cheese snacks, pasta sauces and mix up eggs for omelets! I would also use it to make my husband his weight loss drinks (he has diabetes and is trying to lose weight). And after doing all that, I would blend myself a cocktail LOL 🙂 Thank you for the giveaway!

  748. I have the regular Magic Bullet & LOVE IT!! In fact I finally puy my blender away and may even consider getting rid of it. I haven’t used it in forever and the Magic Bullet seems to do what I need done (it makes wonderful smoothies – fast). I want the book – either one, lol – so I may need to check that out.

  753. I am so excited. I literally just picked up jessica seinfeld’s book last week and was thumbing through it. I have no machine to puree with yet. Yea! I have been waiting to see what’s available. I am planning on having a few more kiddos and would most definitley puree their baby food… and I have a one year old who resists eating her veggies, which is why i want to start adding some nutritious veggies to her foods she eats.. I have already tried the potatoes and cauliflower. She ate it up and wanted more! hooray! next I am going to make additions to our saturday morning pancakes and mac and cheese. other than that I love banana milkshakes and want to try yogurt smoothies and frozen yogurt smoothie pops for my daughter. i am so excited.. pick me! 😉

  754. the better question would be what can’t you make..the possibilities are endless..but here are just a few; sauces, smoothies, baby food, dips, dressings, meats, all the fruits, veggies..wow…I am excited! I wanna win, so I can make all that good food!

  771. I would make so many things! Smoothies for me, homemade baby food when the time comes, dips, etc. My husband and I have seen the infomercial for the Magic Bullet so many times it is ridiculous. We keep saying we’re going to get one, but with baby on the way there never seems to be enough money in the budget. If I don’t win, I’ll definitely be putting it on my birthday wishlist this year!

  775. I would LOVE one of these! (My college-aged brother has one and loves his.) I would use mine to make double-duty purees – some for the baby and some to sneak into my toddler (and husband’s) meals. We could all use a little extra veggie. Oh, and a few fruity drinks for the mama to enjoy out on the deck after the kids are in bed! Thanks! beezerly (at) yahoo dot com

  799. I’ve never seen an advertisement for the Magic Bullet before. (We don’t watch commercials with our DVR.) Looks like it would be nice for small jobs, like a smoothie or milk shake for two…a batch of fresh salsa…parmesan cheese for spagetti etc.

    I can’t see it replacing my stick blender for pureeing soup or replacing my food processor for shredding cheddar and making pie crusts though. Know what I mean?

    Still, for certain jobs, I can see it’s purpose.
