Anyone tried the Nutribullet blender ?

I have one and love it makes awesome stuff and kills frozen fruit and ice with ease....i dont use any of the book recipes tho just make protein shakes with it but i love it so much

We have it and love it! It's not a "juicer", it keeps all the fiber so it's more filling plus the fiber is so good for you. We use fresh baby spinach as the base (about 1/2) then add frozen banana, strawberries, blueberries, mixed frozen fruit, fresh apples, grapes, whatever you have. We also pulverize walnuts, almonds, flax seeds, or whatever you like. Add protein powder if you like. We add baby carrots, celery, brocoli, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, whatever. Do use small amounts as carrots, broc, celery, etc have strong tastes and you don't want to overpower because it will not taste as good. You have to add liquid to the fill line.... mine husband likes water but I like to use Lipton diet green tea in mine..... it gives it a sweeter flavor. Experiment with what you like. p.s. making a little thicker drink is more filling

do you see a difference in the nutribullet and good blender?

Yes - I have been using the NutriBullet for a few months now and have lost 30 lbs since I started
I hit the farmer's market every other weekend and wash and store my fruits and veggies and dring a Green Smoothie every morning - sometimes have one for lunch or dinner too! Keeps the simple carb cravings down - don't desire bread and sweets anymore!!!! Eat lean protein about 6 oz daily. Very happy with it. Bear in mind this is NOT a juicer it makes smoothies with fruits and veggies and keeps all the healthy nuitrients fiber so you're not hungry!

I've had the NutriBullet for the last 3 months, and it was literally a life changing experience. I grew up never being forced to eat breakfast by my parents, and thus, continued that way because I preferred to sleep a little longer than wake up earlier to eat something. In the last 3 days, I've gone no more than 2 days without having one, and let me tell you - when I don't have one, I feel like my digestive system works much more slowly and I'm more bloated than I normally am. I don't particularly follow the suggested nutriblast recipes, but here is how it works for me:

Green Superfood Base:

- 1 to 1.5 cups of Dino Kale
- t tbsp. flaxseed or flaxseed meal
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1/4 scoop of whey protein
- 1/3 to 1/4 of a banana (depending on the size of the banana)
- 3 oz. of other fruit

I mix up the fruit depending on what's in season or what I feel like having for that morning. I found that the more I had these every morning, the less amount of banana I had to have in it. I just got used to it. At this point, it's just fuel and a necessity for my bodily functions - I basically hate to go without it every morning (this mentality is what's helped me to achieve a healthier lifestyle).

And, YES, it really does break down the kale. And, NO, it is NOT a juicer so it has more of a smoothie consistency - POSITIVES being that you get to consume all the fiber in a closer-to-liquid form (which, as we all know, is the quickest way for our body to absorb anything). The only other blender on the market that can do this kind of blending is the VitaMix, which also has a pretty price tag of $500.

Anyway, I'm glad there are others on here that use the NutriBullet! I bought mine at Bed Bath & Beyond and used a 20% off coupon, so I got it for $80. Around here, they take their expired coupons too .

I have the Nutribullet and I must say I have hardly missed a day of having a nutriblast for breakfastand sometimes dinner. I've had it for months and coupled with a daily walk, it has sped up my weightloss. It's curbed my carb cravings and I've even cut back on the amount of fruit I use. If you'd like a protein alternative...try beans. I like the taste and texture of the black beans the best. I just rinse the canned organic ones.

Hi! I got my Nutribullet blender about a month ago. Kohl's had it on sale for $99 and with my 30percent coupon I got it for $69!
I am completely sold on it. I can offer a few suggestions that has helped me as I go.

The first is that whichever smoothie you are making you should divide the ingredients in half before you blend and do half at a time. This is the best way to get them all to fit and allows you to use as much water as you like to thin it down a little.

I also found that I wasn't sure about the taste of some in the beginning but understood that this is a health improvement and of course its not going to taste like a milkshake. I then began to find that as I went I enjoyed them more and more so hang in there, they really do grow on you. I also add fresh cranberries to any that I want to improve on the taste and it makes a huge difference.

And one last tip that helped is that I googled the question of which fruits etc should be pitted, peeled and so on and found a complete list of how to handle each one before blasting. Sorry i don't have the website handy but it is put out by Nutribullet and should pop right up.

I hope this is helpful and happy blasting!

jooneyb, Could you give an example of a drink you make using black beans?

I LOVE MY NUTRIBULLET!
I had bought a juicer in the summer and started drinking the "mean greens juice" from the documentary Fat, Sick and Alomst Dead...it was okay, but I was getting upset at the amount of produce it took to produce one measly cup of juice, so I decided to try the Nutribullet...(love it) It's quick and I am consuming the most beneficial part of the produce...My only gripe is the travel lids, because they leak...

I got my Nutri-Bullet Sunday, I have made recipes from the book, been hard to get them down but cravings are gone and weight is coming off! You do get used to them in a short time! Please post your favorite recipes, it will help a lot of people on this site! I will once i find one worth sharing! Happy Blasting!

I have had mine since July 2012. This morning I went to make a smoothie (i did not overfill it) and the cup got stuck on the base. I cannot get it off. My boyfriend tried and neither can he. Looked on other review websites, seems like other ppl have had the same problem...along with it leaking. Bought mine from the website,emailed them this morning,waiting to hear back...If you buy it,buy it at a store ie.target or walmart, that way you can more easily return it...
