Is it worth buying a NutriBullet?

Good health and a properly functioning mind are, to a large extent, dependent on how healthy our diets are; and that is why an increasing number of people from all over the world are opting for the NutriBullet – a single-serve blender that hit the market in 2012 and became popular after Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, rumored that she loved her Nutri Bullet blender.

However, Nutribullets are not blenders – even though they share some similarities.

So, What Is NutriBullet?

nutri bullet nutrient extractor

NutriBullets are simply nutrient extractors. This is because of its capacity to completely break down fruits and vegetables – including their stems, skins, and seeds – into a delicious and highly nutritious smoothie that can be drunk immediately.

The NutriBullet simply combines a powerful watt motor with its bullet-exclusive cyclonic action which forces all the contents into the Nutribullets’ extractor blades, which then pulverizes and completely breaks down the pith, stalks, stems, skins, and seeds – releasing the essential nutrients, which would have otherwise been thrown away, or pass through the elementary canal without being absorbed. Hence, they are called nutrient extractors. 

The NutriBullets are so good at extracting nutrients that the product – i.e. the smoothie it produces – is now popularly called NutriBlasts. For instance, seldom do we get to enjoy the magnesium and Zinc that are contained in watermelon seeds, nor the anti-oxidants present in broccoli stems, because we often time spit out the seeds of fruits and simply don’t eat the stems of vegetables, but thanks to the NutriBullet, everything is extracted and made easy for the body to absorb.

That said, it is also important to note that NutriBullets is also capable of extracting the cyanide from apple seeds, apricots, cherry, plum, and peach stones, so users are advised to remove the seeds from those sorts of plants.

Is A Nutribullet Worth It?

So, is NutriBullets worth it? The answer is, “certainly YES”. The way NutriBullets process fruits and vegetables enables those foods to maintain their fiber content and also enables your body to easily digest the nutrients in the fruits or vegetables.

A diet with high fiber content is also great for maintaining a healthy weight, as the fiber helps trigger the feeling of fullness – so you don’t end up eating too much (this can prove to be very helpful for those trying to lose weight). This also helps improve your gut health and aids digestion. The bulky nature of fiber is also linked with reducing the likelihood of diabetes, high LDL cholesterol, and gallstones.

Nevertheless, when thinking about the worth of getting a NutriBullet, you need to first consider:

  • Your Lifestyle: Are you a busy person who usually needs a quick nutritious, yet satisfying drink before heading over to work? Are you trying to lose weight? Or are you simply trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet (maybe as a vegan)?  
  • Food Preferences: Do you enjoy taking whole foods, juices, or smoothies? It’s all up to you
  • Nutritional Needs: Has it become essential that you get more and more nutrients into your system – probably due to a nutritional deficiency or the doctor’s prescription? Or is it
  • The Convenience: NutriBullets is very easy to use; most times consisting of just a single button. Anyone can simply follow the instructions from a recipe manual and throw in the correct quantities of different fruit and vegetables to make the required smoothie, or even decide to experiment with different foods outside of the manual, without hassle. 

Whatever it is, NutriBullet can be your choice for a myriad of reasons and benefits, some not even listed here.

Is NutriBullet Better Than A Blender?

As stated earlier, NutriBullets come with very powerful motors that spine extra-strong and sharp blades very quickly to liquefy foods – completely crushing stems and even seeds into a pulp; hence, NutriBlasts are easily drinkable and enjoyable. This is something a traditional blender cannot accomplish. 

When put to the test, most blenders cannot simply break down harder foods such as flax and cashew seeds to the point of being fine flour, or even drinkable when you add some liquid (without choking due to excessive grains).

However, if you are looking to get a wider range of recipes – such as coarse-ground dips, and milkshakes – then a blender would serve you better.

Which NutriBullet Model Is The Best?

When deciding on a NutriBullet to get for your personal or family use, there are a couple of factors you need to consider.

  • Power: The power rating for a NutriBullet is largely dependent on the power of the electric motors in it. If your needs encompass cruciferous vegetables or creating large batches of foods at a go, you’d want to get a powerful model – like our 900-watt NutriBullet. This is because a more powerful NutriBullet would ensure your fruits are perfectly minced. But, if your tastes are for softer, smaller fruits and vegetables, the 600-watt model would serve perfectly.
  • Capacity: The quantity and variety of fruits and vegetables to be used for the NutriBlast is also a crucial factor. NutriBullets come in a wide variety of sizes ranging from 12-ounce capacity up to 64 ounces. For instance strawberries, apples, and other (larger) fruits/vegetables take up a lot of space, and the number of people you want to serve at a time may be more than two so you would need all the sizes you can get. 
  • Versatility: Some versions of NutriBullets can be used to make more than just smoothies. For example, some models of NutriBullets can be used for making flour, soups, nut butter, smoothie, and lots more. So, it is usually better to first decide what you’d want to use it (mostly) for before purchasing one.
  • Cups And Accessories: NutriBullets come in multiple sizes of cups and lids. NutriBullet recommends different cups and lids for diverse recipes (but since they are numerous, we won’t be going into the details).

Which NutriBullet Is The Quietest?

Okay, one major complaint about these magical smoothie-producing machines is that they are just too noisy. A normal jackhammer generates about 80 decibels, whilst a NutriBullets blasts away at about 100 decibels (note: decibels is the unit for measuring the loudness of sound). That said, it creates a racket whenever it is being used, hence it is important to put the noise produced into consideration. 

Sadly, the size of a blender doesn’t affect the noise generated much – all NutriBullets (produced so far) are very noisy; however, The NutriBullet Pro 1200, Select 1200, and Blender Combo 1200 were the loudest. While our 900 and 600 watts are the quietest by comparison.

Thankfully, you only need to endure this sound blast for about 20 to 60 seconds, depending on what you are preparing, and the quantity. Needless to say, you don’t want to make your smoothies in a library 😉 

What Else Can You Do With A NutriBullet?

There are a lot of interesting purposes you can put the NutriBullet to, and all you need to do is arm yourself with a few tricks. Interestingly, the NutriBullets come with a nicely designed and easy-to-understand manual that can guide you…

Anyway, below are some cool things you should be making with your NutriBullet ASAP

  • Juices: You can easily enjoy a tasty juice by filtering the NutriBlast – this would remove the fiber, and leave you with a clean and refreshing juice.
  • Whipped Cream: If you get the mixture of liquid and ingredients just right, you can make a Whipped cream using the NutriBullets; though instructions would vary from plant to plant
  • Soup: New styles of NutriBullets come with a heating element that can help you heat the ingredients of your soup as you process them with your NutriBullet.
  • Sauces: Not all sauces can be made with a NutriBullet, but you can easily make Pesto or Tomato sauces by simply adding your ingredients to the Pesto or Tomato and blending away.
  • Ice Cream: This won’t be your traditional ice cream, but rather a Banana Ice Cream – which is also known as a Nice Cream. The recipe is simple, add your ripe banana and hit the start button – though you can add cocoa powder, chocolate chips, or different fruits to make it even richer and tastier.
  • Pizza Dough: when making Pizza, you can use the NutriBullet to prepare the dough.
  • Refried Beans: If you are familiar with making Molletes, you must also be conversant with refried beans. When making refried beans, you can simply opt-in to using your NutriBullet when it is time to mash the beans – the result would be a silky smooth paste.
  • Pancake Batter: Instead of buying pre-made pancake batter, or using a mixer, you can use your NutriBullet instead, and the result would be an impressive nicely mixed batter.
  • Nut Butter: when crushed finely, nuts produce a thick and consistent jell partly due to their oil content, and partly due to their water content. With a NutriBullet you can finely crush nuts such as Almond, Cashew, or even Peanuts to produce a nice Nut Butter which you can enjoy in a variety of meals
  • Smoothies: of course, you can always make more delicious and highly nutritious smoothies effortlessly and quickly using your NutriBullets.

One more thing: hot or highly carbonated substances (like Soda) should never be added to a NutriBullet. This is because NutriBullets are sealed, and the temperature or Carbon can build up serious pressure and lead to an explosion. This can damage the NutriBullet at best, or cause serious injuries at worse. So, tricks with hot and carbonated substances are off the table.
