    My name is Jennifer and have enjoyed my NutriBullet for almost two years now!!! Well it was originally bought for my husband to take to work and he would bring it home on the weekends. He did until we moved out of state.

    Now he can't take it to his new job, so it stays here and gets lots of use! We have one each day and some days I let my daughters design there own smoothie. Which the really love to do! :) It has been the best blender I have ever had!

    Our favorite one is:

    1 1/2 cups of almond milk
    handful of greens
    1 cup of frozen blueberries
    1/2 cup of frozen cherries
    1 scoop of Choc. protein powder
    2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter

    Packed full of protein! 418 calories, so it makes a great breakfast to jump start your day or when you need an extra boost after exercise and have enough calories to spend!

    Everything listed is all organic, except the peanut butter.

    We also love green smoothies too! :D Funny thing is we have an old Vit-a-mix and still use the NutriBullet more. They produce the same quality of blend. $80 that we spent on our NutriBullet is a lot better price than the vit-a-mixes even though they are both great!

    Not like our Ninja we got rid of. You had to chew through those smoothies! :#

    We get our organic frozen cherries from Costco and buy them occasionally. You don't want to buy cherries if not organic, because they are in the top ten fruits that have a lot of pesticides on them that aren't healthy for us. Recipe can be made without the cherries though too! :)

    Also never buy grapes from target. I work there currently and they always have mold on them. GROSS

    It's so gross! The oranges are pretty good during the summer though. I think we get oranges from California. Also does anyone want to be friends on here?

    Hi, hoping to jump start this group again! I'm Samantha and just bought my Nutribullet RX. I have had the little Magic Bullet FOREVER and it still works great but I wanted to add greens to my smoothies. My first smoothie tasted great but the blade wasn't tight enough so started to leak. I think we caught it in time....I cleaned out the base even under the rubber seal. I will tighten with the tool next time. Looking forward to a smoother smoothie as I had to remove it too soon. Used my old trusty Magic Bullet to add my protein powder and a little splenda.
