I got the magic bullet so I could make smoothies. It's so much easier than dragging out a big blender. This I just put the fruit or veggies yogurt  whatever you want too put it there that's your likings blend it all together and your done. No mess at all easy cleanup. You can also make salsa, smoothies and so much more. It comes witha little recipe book with a few different recipes in it. The cups it comes with are nice you can blend with any of them pop on a lip protector it came with and your put the door the all have there own lip pieces. One of the cups have a handle for on the go and a lid that you can pop open and drink for easy on the go so it don't spill. Very nice and easy to use.
