Hi @josk, I also have to blend my food. I started with a handheld blender but switched to a larger one fairly quickly. My challenge with the handheld one was that I could not get enough into it (w/out making a mess). The larger blender allowed me to add more ingredients, such as spinach and avocado, to boost my shakes. Best of Luck!

Hi
if having to blend your food - how do you handle eating out in public?
For myself - I tend to isolate myself and do my best in not meeting up for meals or social gatherings (speech and swallowing issues, and hearing impairments). I find it more comfortable eating at home on my own (I live on my own) and if and when food gets stuck in my throat, I cough it out - but in public and in restaurants I am not able to do that.
I guess this is the reason why I do not blend my food yet - because very often I tend to spit out or cough out.
Ciao - happy wkend!!
