Anyone tried the Nutribullet blender ?

Just got for Christmas this year. It's quiet, easy, and seems to pulverize everything I've dumped in there so far. I really like it &although some of the recipes included in the book are disgusting, others are really good. Plus you can just do your own thing and create something nutritious and delicious to your own taste. It's easy...greens + sweets + seeds, nuts etc.= yum!

I had gotten the black magic bullet from Santa but after reading how it was just a 250 watt vs 600 watt (NutriBullet ) DH and I decided to take it back to BB&B and trade up! Best decision! Really works better and everything is mushed within seconds! Even weird kale and spinach which I could not imagine "drinking"! Lol I notice my sugar and carb cravings are getting less and less. So if you are debating between those two get the NutriBullet!! Easy to clean, use...fun! Trying that maca powder (energy) and goji berries. Can't taste either but both are super foods! Love frozen dark cherries too. Just mix and test!! Now going to take blender to goodwill. Does not even compare!!

I have both a cuisinart juicer ad a nutribullet and I loooove the nutribullet soooo much more. There isn't waste so you don't har to use $10 worth of ingredients in one juice and its super easy to clean. I usually just make my own concoctions. Today I had kale on the bottom, raspberries, half a pear, and orange, two tbsp pumpkin seeds and two tbsp Gigi berries and then water. It was delicious and even my nine month old daughter went nuts over it!

I just got a NutriBullet, and I love it. If your smoothies are too thick, just add more water. I like to add coconut water and apple cider vinegar to mine along with flax seed. I haven't had a problem with making kale smoothies, but then again, I like kale in general. I read some reports online that people complained of it leaking. Mine hasn't done that, just make sure to not go over the Max line and make sure the blade is on tightly. Good luck!

Got a Nutribullet, love it. I chose it over the Ninja for a couple of reasons. Good Housekeeping did not review the Ninja well. Friend has the bullet and it works great. I am gluten intolerant and can make my own flours with the milling blade. Smoothies taste great, get creative. Got mine on ebay for $81, it was new, in the box.

My doctor told me I'm anemic with instructions to eat green leafy vegetables every day or take iron pills. Well, I hate those pills so I bought me a Nutribullet and started blending. I make my smoothies every morning and I love it!! I pretty much follow the instructions in the booklet. Lots of greens, my favorite is kale and spinach, some fruit, and healthy add-ins ( nuts, chia seeds, or flaxseeds). I tried it with almond milk but I'm not a fan. Adding a bit of Greek yogurt is good for protein as is protein powder. Frozen banana is awesome to make it creamy. Seeds from raspberries and whole flaxseeds will not grind up, but everything else is nice and smooth. Clean up is a breeze. I look forward to my huge tumbler of green goodness every morning Kohl's will give you the best price if you go during a sale and happen to score a 30% off coupon. My sister has a Ninja and I had bits of fruit in my smoothie, hands down Nutribullet wins.

OMG I got my nutribullet a few weeks ago and LOOOOVE IT!!!
I usually make a green smoothie everday after my morning workout and it is wonderful!!

Here is my usual:

1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 banana
1/2 cup almond milk
2 handfuls spinach
1/2 small container of vanilla greek yogurt OR cocoa almonds
dash cinnamon

I have always substitued blueberries for strawberries and put in PB2.. delicious~!

Love the Nutribullet. I have lost 22 pounds making Body by Vi Shakes with my Nutribullet. The shakes are amazing. It is the shake mix that tastes like a cake mix and paired with Nutribullet =Amazing. You can find out more about the Body by Vi Challenge @ www.losingmyweight.myvi.net

ViSalus is a load of crap.....juss sayin. Its a pyramid scheme. Its basically a really expensive protein powder...you'd have as good of results taking a scoop of whey protein and making a shake, and would save yourself a lot of money. My ex uses/sells the stuff, and its all about selling it. the whole "3 for free" thing just proves that its about making money, not losing weight. Of course you'll lose weight when you have 2 shakes a day for 400 total calories instead of consuming 2 meals at 400-600 each

I just got the nutribullet, I want to follow the program but everything is so expensive specially like the dried fruits, we are a family of four and we all want in hahaha...

I just purchased one and I loved it.

I bought my wife a $300 Breville juicer last year. She loves it and has lost a good amount of weight using it. Well about a month ago I bought the Nutribullet at the recommendation of a friend. I read the instructions that night with the plan to use it in the morning.

When I got up my wife was making her juices for the day (breakfast and lunch). She had been doing so for about 10 to 15 minutes and then started to disassemble the juicer for cleaning. I walked out and made a breakfast shake with the Nutribullet. I got everything out and made my shake. I then cleaned the Nutribullet and walked away, in LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES! My wife was still cleaning the juicer. It was hilarious. She now uses the Nutribullet most of the time because of the fast and easy use.

I’m not trying to talk bad about the Breville juicer. It’s a fantastic machine and does what it does very well. The drawback is you will use a lot of produce and the cleanup is extensive. The Nutribullet is fast, easy and the clean-up is super fast (wash the cup and blade assembly, that’s it).

As for recipes there are a bunch of different ways you can go. I don’t like stuff that tastes bad, probably like most people. My wife is able to drink some of her juices that taste like lighter fluid (I’m not kidding!)

I prefer mostly fruit, but I do always start with green leafy vegetables. I add nuts and flax or chia seeds as well. I have used water, coconut water and flavored water. You can follow the suggestions in the book, and then use that premise to create flavors you like. It is very easy and I do like to use some frozen fruit to make the drink cold. Remember some stuff will make it thick and some will make it thin. My favorite drinks are listed below.


Handful of spinach
Six chunks of fresh pineapple (frozen pineapple chunks sold at Costco)
Six slices of frozen peaches (sold at Costco)
1/8 cup flax or chia seed
1/4 cup raw almonds
Coconut water to max line

Handful of spinach
Mixed frozen berries (sold at Costco)
Six chunks of fresh pineapple or Six slices of frozen peaches
1/8 cup flax or chia seed
1/4 cup raw cashews
Coconut water to max line


The key is to make the drink the consistency you like. You do this by adding more or less liquid. A great way to thin the mixture is to pour it into a blender bottle and add additional water to thin it out. I like to put it into the blender bottle and drink it on my way to work. The bottles don’t leak and you can keep the contents mixed if they start to separate a little. You can get the blender bottles all over the place. I purchased several from Amazon.

The key is to get off of your rear and do something. The Nutribullet makes it so easy and fast to do there really is not an excuse not to. The cost is also cheaper because you are not going through a ton of produce. As other poster have reported, you will feel better. I have not had coffee since I have been drinking the shake each day, and I work graveyard.

Good luck.

I recommend the ninja kitchen system 1200-- I got mine for $120 and it does so much more. I heard the bullet still leaves heavy pulp.

I agree. Makes my life easier!

We have fruit and veggie smothies every morning made with our nutribullet. Love that thing :blushing:
I started off buying organic frozen fruits but found they had little to no flavor. Now I purchase in bulk and when fruit becomes nice and ripe, I chop and freeze myself.

I usually start with mango, kale with rib removed, canned lychee, fresh frozen pineapple, blueberries, peach, carrot, etc. I like to weigh out my produce, about 30 to 50 grams of each. I like to use unsweetened coconut water instead of plain water.

I use the milling blade and my magic bullet to grind flax seeds to a fine powder and add this as well as a couple of almonds, pumpkin seeds, and the like.

It really did make my cravings for sugary foods disappear. It fills me up until lunch without bogging me down. I use it as a way to get in my fruit, veggies and fiber in one shot so that everything else I eat during the day is a bonus.:drinker:

Just purchased the Nutribullet and waiting to recieve it! Can't wait to start using it!

you have to add a liquid. after blending add water, or almond milk the healthiest
