I have the Breville Nutribullet - does the same thing but over £50 cheaper. I've made so many delicious smoothies to sip at work.
*not an advert, really* |

Had one for just over a year and having mess around with it initially, it has now become the staple breakfast deliverer.
Best thing we have ever bought. Out with bread, cereals and fatty breakfasts. In with a fab blend of Kale, milled flax (milled in the nutribullet), pineapple. Blueberries, dates and goji berries.
As the 50+ something guy here I can tell you that the issues of heartburn, back ache and other middle aged things have not bothered me since Christmas / New Year.
If you don't over use them and always have more greens than fruit AND make the smoothie a replacement meal you will reap great benefit. As I said above... Best thing we have ever bought. |

I've been debating on getting one but have a feeling it will be gathering dust in a few months. Just like my soup maker, ice cream maker, foreman grill and cappacino machine |

I bought a Breville Active Blend last week as they were on sale...so I'd love to know what your favourite creations are.
So far mine have been more fruity than veg...but I'd like to switch the ratios.
also I think I need help with the amounts of fruit/veg to pop in

"I got the Jason Vale juicer and blender some great juices and smoothies to be had
Just had a look on amazon bit expensive really "
But worth every penny as its a slow juicer ..some juicers burn a lot of the nutrients as they get juiced the slow juicer doesn't you get all of the nutrients from all the ingredients. |

See, my mind is just filthy.
In Currys the other day and bought a new cooker, when we paid for it we were given a voucher for £20 off a nutribullet. My eyes lit up and I gasped, until hubby whispered.."No, its not THAT kind of bullet!" I actually thought Currys had started selling vibes!

Unlike many of our devices that ended up gathering dust the nutribbullet is still used daily because it is really easy to use and a piece of cake to clean. there is nothing at all that makes it inconvenient. |

I have to admit that I have never seen the point of squishing fruit and veg into a mush to drink rather than just eating it as it comes ? Is there a reason for this ?
I don't like to much fruit and can't eat much as it makes me ill but I do eat and enjoy lots and lots of veg so I get far more than the 5 a day so why do people use these devices ? 
Asked in a pleasant and interested way and not as a criticism |

The device pulverises anything you put in there. With things like flax/linseed it enables your body to rapidly digest all of the nutrients. Same with kale/spinach - pulverises to a mush and when mixed with equally pulverised fruit makes a smoothie that is easy to digest and packed with nutrition. Biggest mistake some people make is to put too much fruit in it and thereby loading themselves up with sugars as opposed to the nutrients of the fresh greens.
I personally never had the so called super foods until I got the bullet, now I have them every day for breakfast. |

I've been a lil hesitant after learning that a major benefit of eating greens - fibre - is severely diminished by vegetables being blended... It's still better than no vegetables..of course..

you can get fibre elsewhere but still get all the vitamins from veg/fruit through the drinks - its the fibre that my girl cant handle so its brill for that |

I've not heard that but apparently juicers are a false economy because it separates the fibre and you chuck it away. The nutri blends it up so fine that you drink all the juice and fibre.
I still eat my 5 a day in normal meals plus I use my nutri and I look healthy so it works for me.

I personally only use veg and raw garlic, ginger, nuts ect in my nutri, (apart from bananas) drinking all that fruit is full of sugar and acidic so bad for your teeth. I eat fruit as a snack still. |

Thank you so much for the time you have ALL took in replying to our 1st thread on the forums xx
I've been experimenting ever since and have discovered the best &cheapest way of getting all the berries(ie: straw ,black,rasp,blue,black & red currantsEtc
is the fantastic value for money frozen bag at Lidl!!
This divided into 4 large portions to which I added 1/2 Jug of fresh Spinach & Kale ,1/4 of the bag of berries,1 cored apple,a banana & then 6 walnuts with a tablespoon of mixed seeds to super~charge & fill freezing cold water to max~line so it becomes a Nutriblast to optimum!! and blitz it for 10secs and divide into two massive cups & enjoy!! "i'm lovin it!!" LOL so much better than the crap i was eating!! xx
Have lost a further 311bs this week....that's almost a stone now!! feel fantastic & soooo much more NRG
I drink mine threw a straw as well,so not around the teeth (works well)
will keep the recipes coming!!
Jules xx |

How is that possible when everything that is pulverised gets consumed on a form that the stomach can digest easier than whole foods. |

I've got the Breville Blend-Active and another bigger blender that does me. Oh, and a juicer.
Good marketing on the Nutribullet, but I'm not convinced it's any better than anything else.

They're not really, because if you left the fibre in you wouldn't be able to consume the same amount ... so it's a bit like having a massive dose of natural vitamins in one glass.
Think 20 a day rather than 5 |

I'm just saying what I was told by a nutritionist, but nutritionists do seem to like to disagree with each other.
I use a nutri bullet but I also eat my 5 a day with meals, and 90% of the fruit I consume, I eat as a snack inbetween meals.
Also I like the nutri bullet cause I can put seeds and nuts and wheat germ in it.
I like my diet, feel great, but wouldn't push it on anyone else. Do what you believe is good for you and what you enjoy.
Ps iv just upgraded my nutri bullet to the 900 wat professional |

I may be wrong, but that may be because nutritionists aren't regulated, so anyone can call themselves one, whereas dieticians are regulated and need to be qualified. |

No nutrition is lost. No fibre is lost but I can imagine it's much EASIER to digest and so the effect on the necessary effort of the intestine could be diminished.
Got to be better than boiled veg tho.
I love RAW veg but couldn't consume as much as I do if I didn't have the nutri ninja.
Other bullets are available.

Maybe
The end of the day I think variety is important, I wouldn't eat the same stuff week in and week out.
I don't eat processed meat, I use healthy cooking methods as much as possible, I drink plenty of water every day.
My diet is by far better than Jo blogs so I'm happy. |
