The ninja is a capable blender, and does a fantastic job on fruit smoothies. I found tough that it king of falls down with the tougher vegetable fibers. For that you need a vita-mix. If you are going to get a Ninja, I recommend going to Costco of Bed Bath and Beyond because of their return policies. Ours stripped a gear after a few months. The new model they replaces ours with had an improved gear attachment, but I can see how it might happen again. If it does, replacement will be a very simple thing to do.0

What method do you use to freeze and then serve your smoothie the next day?
Do you have one of these? If so do you have any good smoothie recipes. I have never made a smoothie in my life, but it is time to change all of that so if you have a good recipe send it my way, please.
[/quote]I make double batches,freeze in blender bottles so I have it for snack or lunch the next day.
2 cups frozen berries
1 frozen banana
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 serving whey protein
2 tbsp chia seeds
1/4 cup water more if need
2 servings-250 calories each

How do I add a recipe?0

I my Ninja to peices. I've had it for several years now. I use it at least once a week to daily. As for smoothies. Put whatever you haveor have a taste for in it. I freeze bananas I find on sale. This means I have them on hand pretty much al;ways. I also usually have blackberries I pick in season, frozen so usually this is in my smoothies. The banana adds plenty of sweetness. I will add a touch of milk most times but not always. I hope you love yours as much as I do mine.0

Love my ninja - This protein smoothie is my go-to meal replacement when I'm in a rush. It's the best damn smoothie I've ever had - and I've tried a LOT of protein shakes in my time. It's super filling, very healthy, and loaded with deliciousness.Try it - you won't be disappointed.
Layer into your medium bowl (40oz, I think)
-70g baby spinach, raw
-31g chocolate whey isolate powder - any brand
-5g (1 Tbsp) unsweetened cocoa
-15g (1 Tbsp) Natural PB
-140g frozen unsweetened strawberries
-70g frozen unsweetened blueberries
-8oz almond milk
a few splashes of water to help it mix
Blend for a minute, scrape down the sides, and blend another minute. It's thick enough to eat with a spoon and will take you a good 15 minutes to finish. Fills my GNC Shaker cup right to the top (24oz?) and costs me about 375 calories. The spinach adds great substance and you can't taste it at all. The chocolate and fruit go really well together and I love the taste of PB! It's allllll good! :bigsmile:
Will try this after the Costco trip- looks delish!0 -
Hey how ya doin,
Due to my recent dedication to intake discipline and calorie tracking, I was given a Magic Bullet Nutri Bullet and I think it is fantastic, but I do not know how to effectively calculate the calories of my extracted beverages.
Is there an extractor (not juicer) recipe book available or perhaps a webpage that helps provide this information?
Are you able to help out this Soldier in need?
