Glass bottles are always better than plastic. Did you know that even BPA free plastic bottles are not BPA free after 3 years?

Which plastic water bottles to avoid

To summarize what we've been hearing so far.... avoid using water bottles with numbers 3, 6 and 7. 1 is for one time use only (most water bottles are 1, so don't refill the bottle). Use glass if possible and stainless steel. Do not microwave plastics, use glass or pyrex for reheating your food. For more information, visit IATP.org and Green Guide

Ninja Blender 1100

I don't usually go for Infomercials. Our 5 year old Osterizer ($30 from Costco) has been an okay kitchen companion but doesn't really make "smooth" smoothies. They usually come out in clumps even after blending for a long period of time, losing the nutrients. I was looking at the Vitamix blender (but couldn't justify paying $400 for a blender). I saw the Ninja Blender at Costco for $118 (plus tax. Amazon sells it for $159 no tax). We just received our Costco rebate so thought of investing it for a healthy cause. Aside from mixing drinks, it comes with other attachments which makes it a good kitchen companion (food processing, dough mixing etc..). I am satisfied (not thrilled) with the blender. But this is only comparing it with the Osterizer. Be careful of the very sharp blades when removing from the pitcher! Pros: Quick and powerful. Cons: Plastic, be careful when removing the lid seems it can be fragile. Update: March 2013 We are still using the blender...
