I use my NutriBullet 900 Series every morning for my protein shake (with ice cubes). It works in less than a minute then I screw on the handle and enjoy. Cleanup is fast and easy and I use the included extra cups with lids to carry other drinks with me in the car. LOVE it! p.s. I just bought the milling blade to make my own almond flour and almond butter but haven't used it yet.

The Nutribullet Pro makes great smoothies, easily blends seeds and pips. Really great! There are only 2 downsides - the cup sizes are massive and you have to fill to the max line - a smaller cup option is definitely needed. The other downside are the seals on the blade attachment. We find that unless you use quite a lot off force the seals are poor and smoothie mixture sprays all over the kitchen! Sealing it properly makes it almost impossible to take the blade attachment off again and results in an equal amount of spillages. I never had that with our old smoothie maker.

I REALLY want to like my Nutribullet and I would if I was more confident with the containers and rings that come with it. The base station is great. It makes a mean smoothie. However, you can tell that the cups and rings you get with this package will not last. I have had it less than two months and am already having issues with the plastic rings and cups themselves. I guess it is because I use it two times a day... EVERYDAY and it is apparently not meant for that. I hand wash everything after each use and baby all the parts to try and get a long life out of them, but even with these additional steps. I can see this thing will not last. When it does break down (I am assuming within a year). I will go back to a regular blender. Too bad. I REALLY wanted my Nutribullet Pro to work out. :(

Works well and the tumbler is deep enough to hold all my ingredients for smoothies etc. The plastic around the rim of the extractor keeps coming off and it’s a pain to get back on. Otherwise it works as expected and I have my smoothie in under a minute.

This little blender really pulverizes everything you put in it. It's more of a nutrient extractor. Thin smoothies work. If you want thick smoothies you may have to blend for a bit, then stir the contents, just like with the Magic Bulletin. Very easy clean up. I love how it blends greens right up so there is no chunks. The Magic Bullet left some chunks behind. Nuts even get pulverized! Makes getting a healthy breakfast smoothie easy and fast.

I purchased one for home and liked it so much that I bought a 2nd for the office! Had problems with seals coming out on the 2nd but Customer Service replaced both blade assemblies and I just paid $5 shipping! Very Happy with the Pro Nutri-Bullet! Highly recommended!

went to the doctor just before I started with my bullet. He told me my sugar was high and started me on meds. Just went back 4 weeks later and he was amazed. I had last 18 lbs. in 1 month and my blood sugar and blood pressure were much improved. Going back in 3 months because he says this keeps up no more meds! thanks NutriBullet You are awesome!

I bought this model a few months ago. Overall it is a great improvement in power and design from the base model. I used my last one every day for 2 years until the motor burned out so i decided to go for the higher powered motor. This motor is quieter and blends all my fruits and vegetables in less than 30 seconds easily including large frozen strawberries. The large container is a few inches longer but the max line is in the same place. This helps it blend better. The blade cover Is much sturdier. However the lid doesn't feel snug all of the time. I have seen the lid loosen up a few times while blending. I am not sure If I screwed it on crooked but it's not always easy to tell. I also like the extra drinking lid. It was worth extra dollars to get this model and would highly recommend it.

I bought a year ago my nutribullet which was so good that it didn't though last, it stopped from working. This month, I bought this new one, Nutri bullet pro, it's good, and i don't need to change the cutter like the first one. I hope it will endure.

MY FAVORITE HEALTHY THINGS One of the most popular former TV episodes of the year in the renowned Oprah Winfrey show was her Holiday show called, “My Favorite Things”. Having Oprah Winfrey recommend a product could literally cause a company’s business to skyrocket overnight, a phenomenon coined “the Oprah effect”. While I am not suggesting that my recommendations for any product can compare to the clout of an Oprah Winfrey, I do like to share any books, foods, exercises, or ideas that I come across that I feel may be of interest and benefit to my loyal readers who are interested in improving their health. Therefore, with the holiday season upon us and, with that, the never-ending quest for a meaningful gift, I would like to recommend my favorite new “toy” called the Nutribullet. I bought myself one of these a few months ago after watching those infomercials on Cable TV featuring spokesperson David Wolfe. David was one of the guest speakers at the school I attended to become certified as a holistic health coach so I know he’s the real deal. I do not think that David would associate himself with any product he didn’t believe in just for the cash because he’s so passionate about what he believes. The reason I like the Nutribullet is because it’s easy to use, has a compact size, is very easy to clean and operate. The basic formula to make great tasting shakes is very straightforward, yet allows for a lot of personal variation so you can be as creative as you like. Basically, you fill half the container with fresh greens of some kind. I suggest you start with a mild flavored green like baby spinach if you are not accustomed to eating greens or don’t think you like them. Fill the rest of the container with fresh or frozen fruit, add a liquid like water or almond milk and just press to start blending. That’s it! In less than a minute you will have a great tasting, healthy drink filled with all the vitamins, minerals, and fiber that you need to start out your day. What could be easier for anyone who is short on time, but still wants to maximize their nutrition intake? Please note, that I am not a spokesperson for Nutribullet nor do I get compensated by them in any way for recommending their product. In all frankness, there are a variety of Nutribullet like blenders out there that I’m sure are just as good. I just happened to have bought this one and I’m simply telling you my first hand experiences. Let’s go over making the shake part in greater detail and I will share my personal tips with you. First of all, when you go to the store to buy the greens and fruit, I highly recommend going organic. You can always go to Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s or your local health food store, but nowadays you can easily find an organic section in traditional supermarkets like Stop & Shop & Waldbaum’s at a fair price. To save time, there is quite a selection of various greens that are already triple washed and torn into smaller pieces so all you have to do is open the package and put them right into your shake container. You can choose from baby kale, mixed spring greens, Swiss chard, or a combination of a few different greens. Secondly, when you are buying your fruit, try to get fruit that is ripened to perfection to get the best flavor or, depending on the type of fruit, allow it to ripen at home on your windowsill. Pears are a good example of this. Berries are also a great choice because they are high in antioxidants and low in sugar. Choose from blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and dark cherries. They are available year round in the freezer section of the store. Using frozen fruit can be an advantage if you are looking for a cold, creamy texture to your shake. Speaking of creamy, I like to add half of a frozen banana to my morning shake. It’s a great source of potassium and natural sweetness, plus a great way to use those bananas that tend to all ripen at the same time. I just peel the banana, break it in half so my portion size is already set, and put the banana halves into a re-sealable plastic bag in the freezer. You can also try kiwis, apples, pineapple, or any fruit that you like. You are limited only by your taste and imagination. Coming now to the liquids, water is always a safe bet. However, depending on the quality of water in your area, I suggest using filtered or spring water to reduce exposure to chemicals and pesticides. If you want a creamier texture, you can try one of the many “milks” out there today. My favorite is unsweetened almond milk, but you can also use rice milk, coconut milk, soy milk, hemp milk, and regular cow’s milk. Again, if you are using the latter, please go organic to avoid added hormones and antibiotics. You can also cut your milk and use half milk and half water. I suggest using the unsweetened versions of these milks to keep your sugar content down. If you are looking for a thick, cold, creamy shake, I’ll share a secret with you that I learned when I was a kid from the owner of one of those old fashioned soda fountains. Put whatever liquid you are using in a glass measuring cup and put it into the freezer for 15 minutes before making your shake. It semi freezes your liquid so your shakes come out so thick you can eat it with a spoon! Other ingredients that you may want to try include plain Greek yogurt to give your gut healthy acidophilus, canned cooked pumpkin for vitamin A, unsweetened coconut water, nuts and seeds, and spices like cinnamon that help regulate blood sugar levels. To give your shake an extra nutritional boost, there are a couple of adds-ins that I use regularly and would like to recommend. You can use them alone or in combination with the others. They are: • The Nutribullet superfoods superboost. This is a package containing ground chia seeds, goji berries, maca, and cacao without any added sugar. These are all considered super foods and can add a lot of nutritional punch to your shake. You can find this product at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. • Whey protein powder is another great add in to give you protein. My favorite is a brand called Jay Robb. It comes in flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry and is sweetened with stevia so it has no extra calories from refined sugar or artificial sweeteners. It is also fat free and contains no GMO’s. • Ground flax seed is another great add in to give you Omega 3 fatty acids and additional fiber. • There is a product from Standard Process that I like called SP powder. It’s a sugar free, highly nutritious blend of various whole foods in powder form that add a lot of high quality nutrition to your shake. Here’s a favorite recipe of mine to get you started: 1. Fill your container half way with raw baby organic spinach 2. Add a cut up pear with the skin, but exclude the seeds 3. Add half a frozen banana 4. Pour in 8 ounces of semi frozen unsweetened almond milk 5. Add in half a scoop of whey protein powder 6. Add one tablespoon of Nutribullet Superfoods Superblast. 7. Press to start, blend for 30 seconds and serve. Yum!!!!! This is just one example of many delicious shakes you can make in your Nutribullet. The blender comes with a hard covered recipe book to give you loads of other ideas. You can purchase the Nutribullet on line or you can buy it at Bed, Bath & Beyond. If you use one of their 20% off coupons that they send out regularly, you can really get yourself a holiday bargain. So, if you are looking for a great gift for someone who’s trying to get healthy, or a friend who is always on the go and has little time for a healthy meal, or even for yourself, I highly recommend the Nutribullet. As someone who already eats a healthy diet, I really didn’t think I would use this that often, but thought I would try it none-the-less. Much to my surprise, the shakes are so good and filling, that I have one every morning for breakfast Monday through Friday. Of course I vary my shakes daily to insure that I get a wide variety of nutrients in my diet. So try it and let your culinary imagination run wild. Your taste buds and body will thank you for taking such good care of yourself. Isn’t that a nice holiday gift?
