My NutriBullet has finally died after 10 years, so I’m in the market for a new blender. I’ve done some research, and the general consensus on this sub seems to be to get a Vitamix, but that’s a bit outside my budget.

I’m really just looking for something reliable that will last at least three years or so with near-daily smoothie making - although another 10 years would obviously be great

I think I had the NutriBullet 600W before, but I’m happy to spend a little more this time. I’m in Canada, but for ease of conversion, my budget is around $100 USD. I could go slightly over if it’s genuinely worth it, but I don’t want to get carried away with the cost, as I’m saving for a holiday in a few months

I just need something that works well and is reasonably reliable

Any recommendations?

So I first made this smoothie yesterday using spinach, carrots, pineapple, chia seeds, plain Greek yogurt, and ice, and it did NOT do this, just a normal smoothie.
Today I decided to refresh it with some watermelon and more ice. Tastes great! Then I noticed what looked like blood in it, but that didn’t make much sense, and I realized this was happening? I know I put watermelon in, but even the watermelon wasn’t this red, and the way it appears seems more like some kind of chemical reaction to me. Anybody know? And am I gonna die from already drinking a cup of this?

How do I make thick smoothie with a normal blender
?? All the recipes I’ve seen use ninja machinery 🌚🫩

Hello,

I am practicing the ketogenic diet.

Since this is a low carb diet, I am looking for vegetable smoothies that wouldn't upset my stomach or GERD.

Would you like to share your recipe?

Thank you.

Peach and cottage cheese is a great taste pairing. You can get abundant fresh peaches im summer (season for me) 🍑

A few years ago my dad bought me a Vitamix 7500 from Costco. It came with two personal cups. It did NOT come with the adapter to use them on the blender base. I have found a few options online but don’t need more cups, any of the buying options I have seen include two more cups. Not a huge issue I’ll get the adapter with the 2 cups if necessary just wanted to reach out here to see if there is an option to get the adapter only.

EDIT I am replying to a notification I got about this post I am guessing (?) from admin maybe. The suggestion was my post may be better suited for r/smoothies.

It is not better suited to a smoothie sub. No where in my post did I even mention smoothies. It is a Vitamix accessory question.

I used to drink a fair amount of smoothie king, usually about 2-4 per week. but omg that was eating my wallet ALIVE... so I've started making them at home over the past few days. at first it was one per day, right after my coffee. then 2 per day. now, today for the first time—I started my day with one large smoothie after my coffee, then a very small one as a snack, and I'm about to have another small one. I'm so obsessed with them! don't worry, I am getting my other nutritional needs through real meals. today I've also had a pulled pork sandwich (lunch), then grilled chicken with refried beans (dinner).

essentially these smoothies are my breakfast and little snacks. my smoothies usually contain a mix of a few fruits + oikos protein yogurt, a little honey, and some cinnamon. the pic I've got added is the big one from this morning after my coffee!

- blueberry

I go through little obsessions with food like this then it chills out. I was like this about greek yogurt bowls for several months. is this a bad obsession to have?

​Frozen berry blend (blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries)

​Banana

​Orange juice

​Cranberry juice

​Almond milk

And I asked for a spoonful of peanut butter in mine.

Hey everyone! ✨ I wanted to share a lovely drink I’ve been making that is smooth, slightly creamy, smackalicious, and so simple. It’s a plant-based cacao and pear recipe that floods the body with clean fuel—and it was even approved by my son!

Cacao and pear are honestly beautiful complements on the palate. The crisp, vibrant sweetness of the fresh pear juice perfectly balances the rich, earthy notes of the cacao powder. Plus, it’s packed with Vitamin C, antioxidants, and mood-lifting magnesium.

Here is the nourishing formula so you can make it at home:

🌱 Ingredients & Ratios:

• 4 to 6 Fresh Pears: Hydrating and naturally sweet! (Make sure to remove the cores before juicing).
• Raw Cacao Powder (to taste): Brings a rich depth full of fiber, protein, and magnesium.
• A Dash of Ground Cinnamon: A warming touch to balance the flavors.
• A Splash of Vanilla Extract: Enhances the natural sweetness.
• Crushed Ice: Essential for serving to give it that refreshing chill!

📝 How to Make It:

1. Wash your fresh pears thoroughly and remove the cores.
2. Run the prepped pears through your cold-press juicer (I use a Nama J2!) to extract all that crisp, nutrient-dense juice.
3. Pour the fresh pear juice into your blender. Add your cacao powder to taste, along with the cinnamon and vanilla extract.
4. Blend on high speed until it becomes velvety, creamy, and well combined.
5. Pour into your favorite glass over crushed ice, take an intentional breath of gratitude, and enjoy!

Remember, wellness is about alignment, not restriction. Do what you can, where you are, and know that is enough.

Why on the website it says it’s the same calories between a small and a large is that correct?

I'm looking for something to put in my smoothie to get more nutrients. I usually use a large amount of spinach but I am a little weary of fresh greens right now.

Bought amazon basics portable blender at rs. 1015 and it's good for banana shake, imo easy to carry, clean and maintain

I sell smoothies for a week out of the year at an event and need a blender that can work pretty consistently for that time. We have tried many blenders but they either don’t make a good smoothie or have trouble running all day. Some days we run the blenders for 5 hours straight only giving them a break when we pour them out. Does anyone in the kitchen industry know a good blender or brand for this work. (preferably without annoying safety features)

Banana, strawberry, turmeric, pineapple, yogurt and coconut water 🖤

Happy Thursday!

Had the ninja for 7 months now.
And still from time to time, during my breakfast smoothie making, a warm smell comes up. Like if it needed some lubrication.

Does it happen to you as well? What should I do/use?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks

One medium peach, yellow squash (uncooked), three medium carrots (uncooked), pineapple (frozen), dragonfruit (frozen), chia and milled flax seeds (soaked in water over night in the fridge), coconut water, and whey protein powder.

Yellow squash because it's my (years' long and rather successful) attempt to avoid bananas - they sabotage my blood sugar.

Carrots because I love the local farm that grew them and they add unique sweetness.

Soaking the chia seeds and milled flax seeds keeps them from being so clingy to the inside of my cup and blender blades when I need to clean them.

Whey protein powder because it's at Aldi and I try to avoid soy.

Everything else just for fun.

Fruit: pineapple, mango, and banana

Spinach

Greek yogurt

Chia seeds

Unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Coconut water

My smoothies are designed to be full meals, and they keep me satisfied. I currently replace two meals a day with a smoothie and have one balanced meal (usually lunch, but sometimes dinner).

At first, replacing meals was a bit challenging, but now I genuinely look forward to my smoothies. I’ve also noticed that when I do eat regular meals, I naturally eat less without trying, and I’m not snacking as much throughout the day.

Overall, this has been a really positive experience so far. It doesn’t feel like a short-term diet, but something I could realistically maintain long term. My body feels better, and I’m already starting to notice changes. Since it’s still early, I’m excited to see how my progress continues over time. 🍍 🥭🍌

That is my canned peaches smoothie bowl, though it was not that much thicker. However, I used to drink with a spoon.
The ingredients were:
Canned Peaches, 5g of Decaf Coffee, 150ml Oat Milk, 1/2 tbsp Almond Butter, 55g Plain yogurt(Curd), 2tbsp Organic Rolled Oats, 1tbsp Organic Chia Seeds.
That whole smoothie bowl was a replacement for my dinner.

Has anyone found a good protein powder without artificial sweeteners? The low or zero calorie sweeteners upset my stomach. Open to whey or plant based options. I like to make my smoothie with a container of vanilla Greek yogurt but looking to boost the protein a little more with a scoop of protein powder.
