Nutribullet questions

A) scam. Run far away fast!

depends on the type of greens and how much you add.

C) not sure. Does the manual say anything about them?

D) no. All you need is a calorie deficit to lose weight

I have a Nutri Bullet. The smoothies are really great without the powder. I agree with the others. There are plenty of great foods to put in a smoothie to make it really healthy. I find the key is to keep it simple. One of my favorite smoothie recipes: ⅓ c. fresh spinach, ⅓ c. fresh pineapple, ⅓ c. plain 2% yogurt, ½ ripe medium size banana, ½ - ¾ c. skim milk, ½ c. crushed ice. This is light green, tangy and tropical smoothie that's really great. The bullet will chop anything, you just need to cut things like carrots in smaller chunks. Finally, there are lots of things you can add to make smoothies smooth, such as Tofu, cottage cheese, yogurt (plain, not flavored), avocado, banana, cooked or uncooked oatmeal/steel cut oats, ground flax seed. If you can eat it, you can smoothie it. Just use a small amount, a couple Tablespoons of seeds and grains or ¼-⅓ cup other stuff. Good luck

Having one now as I read ... 2 handfuls of spinach, 1 banana, 1c of frozen tropical fruit, walnuts and water (sometimes do coconut water). This is in my tall cup and only 263 calories

OH....its a blender!

I add baby spinach to smoothies. Can't taste it at all.

The Nutribullet is an excellent value for making high nutrient juices or "smoothies" where you get all the nutrients and the fiber. Back in 2012 I bought a Breville juicer where it would process fruit and vegetables and use a process that separates the juice from the fiber. You got a nice container of fresh juice (fruit and /or vegetables) but the fiber went into separator that was thrown away. What a waste of high nutrient fiber. The Nutribullet grinds up all that fiber into the smoothie and you drink it. What a great way to get all your fruit and vegetables.

You will find that if you are new to using this type of machine you tend to have fruity concoctions but with time you tend to shift toward more vegetable dominated smoothies. Vegetable rich smoothies are not like normal, off the shelf, processed vegetable drinks which are loaded with sodium. A 8 ounce V8 juice is, as I recall, 480 mg. of sodium, which is 20% of the recommended daily value. And it is loaded with sugar for flavor. If vegetable smoothies are bland you can spice them up with a few pieces of ginger or tabasco sauce. I also find that bananas that are not past their time but close should be pealed and thrown in the freezer in a Ziploc bag. Breaking them in half before freezing allows you to add the banana half which chills the contents like an ice cube, and thickens the smoothie. Of course, you have to enjoy the banana flavor.

You also may know how good kale is for you but if you've ever tasted it the bitterness is pretty hard to swallow. With the Nutribullet you just blend it into your smoothie. I routinely make up a smoothie with Kale, spinach, flax seed, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and will throw in a half a frozen banana or a greek yogurt cup, or a halo orange. Cinnamon is another great way of adding a sweet flavor without causing you to have glycemic problems. Watch the nuts because they are calorically dense.
