Any advice on imulsifier type blenders like nutri bullet???

SephiraRose

Hi, I'm looking to purchase an emulsifier type blender like magic bullet, vita mix or nutria bullet. Anyone have any advice or feedback?
I currently use a juicer but feel kind of wasteful when I clean out all the veggie and fruit bits left over from the process. I've made soups and added the pulp to sauces but much of the time it goes into the compost bin. Any thoughts?

I started with a Ninja ($149 at Costco) and it was OK but kind of left things in a texture like a very fine applesauce, plus it left chia seeds intact and I got a little tired of picking seeds out of my teeth. I used the Ninja for about 3 months. Then at Christmastime, I bought a NutriBullet Pro (at Kohl's for $120). The nice thing about the Nutribullet Pro vs the NutriBullet is that it has a 32 oz cup. The texture of the smoothie is very smooth and the chia seeds are broken up. I routinely leave the skin on apples/pears, I use the frozen broccoli florets without cutting them up, and only rough chop my greens, celery. I do peel ginger and core other fruits. I've now been using the NutriBullet Pro daily for about two months.

I haven't had a Vitamix or BlendTec - I understand you can do less cleaning of some fruits and veg with those but I don't really know the details of that and since I primarily use frozen fruit, I'm not sure it would save me any time.

Another vote for the Nutri-Bullet.

I have a Ninja Ultima (there are 4-5 different Ninja's) and love it! The motor's much faster than the nutribullets--almost to the Vitamix speed. Much less $ than Vitamix. I like the big blender size and make a huge batch on Sunday and then pour out portions all week. I occasionally find an unchopped chia seed or rasp. seed, but not often. My niece made smoothies with her Nutribullet and they felt thick and grainy to me.

Buy what you can afford--as long as it tastes good to you and you get more fruits and veggies, who cares!

Thank you for your input. It's nice to know which blender chops up seeds and berries better. Love those Blackberries and raspberries.
