We knew we wanted to get more vegetables and fruits into our diet, and were close to getting a juicer. Infomercials on the Nutribullet changed our mind about that - it became pretty clear that the quantity of fruits/vegetables to make juice equated to a whole lot of clean up, a whole lot of wasted nutrients, and a whole lot of calories.
When I started researching the Nutribullet, I ran into Consumer Report reviews that talked about parts breaking for that product. They recommended the Ninja. I am very happy I went with that recommendation.
We use ours primarily for smoothies and protein drinks. It is possible to adjust the consistency from super thick to very liquid, just by adding some ice or fruits or vegetables with a lot of water in them. The recipe and instruction books are easy to follow and have good hints and suggestions so in no time, we have found ourselves making up our own combinations.
Now we keep protein powder, a bag or two of frozen fruit, some pineapple coconut water and then add in whatever fresh fruits & veggies look good at the farmers market.
My particular favorite is a kale tonic. This was based on a juice I have at my favorite breakfast place, and it was super easy to figure out proportions. One fuji apple, one handful of kale, one lemon and half a cucumber with some shaved ice make a great drink that I am not worried about having from a diet/calorie perspective.
And more from a diet perspective, my husband and I both find ourselves using this rather than reaching for something else with more calories and less nutrients. If it wasn't easy to use and clean up, we would be back to our evil ways when it comes to snacking.
I am very liberal about what I put into the mixer including seeds and skin, though I do take off the lemon peel. I have found that chopping it into chunks makes it easier to fit everything in the container, but you don't need to worry about the blades cutting stuff up and pulverizing it.
I bought the large blender but have not used it yet, indeed we almost exclusively use the largest "cup" and the smaller blade assembly pictured. It is ridiculously easy to clean up. It could go in the dishwasher, but you can also handwash it easily, there is nothing and nowhere for food particles to hide. Just be very careful around the blades.
I would be remiss not to mention the Auto IQ feature. This is really a set it and forget it feature that takes all the guesswork out of how long to blend or at what speed. My husband likes to experiment with the other settings, but this button makes smoothies as easy as put the ingredients in, turn it on and walk away. There are industrial strength suction cups on the bottom of the unit that keep the unit from traveling.
It's loud, but so what. You have to be careful not to overfill, the unit will leak a little in that case. There are also a few lessons to learn about what should be on the bottom and top to keep it mixing smoothly, but its not a big deal to make a mistake or two with this and figure it out. These are all common sense things.
Highly, highly recommended.
