My blender is goosed and since I generally only use it to make smoothies, I thought I'd pick your brains to see if the nutribullet is worth buying.
Who has one and is it worth the money or do I just buy a new blender?  |

I have one and it's really good. Comes with different blades too so u can do a lot more than just smoothies (actually better than some blenders).
I just find it a handy kitchen appliance |

It pretty much pulverises everything to the consistency of water.  you can make smoothies by adding creamier products ice cream yoghurt etc. Its good. Expensive . If you're getting one get the one with the bigger cups and higher power as the smaller one doesn't make enough. I like it cos you can put nuts and ice into it. |

I bought one a few years ago. Sold it a year later. Found the novelty wore off.
I got sick of preparing all the veg & fruit to go into it.
One thing to be aware of. Because it's liquefied, you end up having to put quite a bit in, and have to put a fair bit of fruit in to sweeten it to make it palatable, thereby you end up consuming a lot more calories than you imagine you're doing. |

I got one for Christmas last year and use it like a mini food processor. It's handy if I want to make a small quantity of something like soup or even just finely chop stuff. I think I use it more than I previously used my normal blender because it's so much easier to clean and I'm lazy like that. |

"Like anything the novelty can wear off but they're easy to use, clean, quick & can pretty much whizz up anything.
I use it for smoothies & soups.
It's the easy cleaning bit that appeals.  "

Yeah I chop up fruit and freeze it for the stuff you can't already buy frozen but now I need to defrost my freezer. Still... it's keeping me busy. |

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |
Try to experiment. I use coconut rice milk or coconut water with pineapple and mango, or hemp milk. You can add all sorts of flavourings to perk up your smoothies, whether sweet or savoury. I don't bother with linseed or green powders as I eat well enough anyway, but chia seeds bulk up anything you add them too. |

"Just think how much those smoothies will taste now you are an ex_smoker 
Has it occurred to you that with a better sense of taste sex is going to taste different as well?"
You can spot smokers a mile away once the senses of taste and smell kick back in. |

Am I allowed to call myself an ex-smoker on day one? I figured I'd need to actually beat it first. |

"So what are your favourite recipes?
I'm going to attempt spinach with my fruit tomorrow... I can't reall say that I'm relishing the prospect of green shit in my breakfast but I'm braving it! "
I chuck spinach in mine, if you have strong other flavours you don't taste it, just doesn't always look that appealing. |

Sounds delish!
I bought some goji berries today... I have no idea what they are never mind what they taste like. Tomorrow will be interesting I'm sure! |
