Nutra Bullet

[Carolyn_Lesley]

Have any of you used a Nutra Bullet and what effect did it have? Thank you

A Nutri-bullet is really just a blender. It's what you put into the blender that has the effect, so blending lots of fruit to make a smoothie wouldn't be great on your blood glucose levels, whereas blending a load of green veg with some greek yoghurt would be much better.

Have a forum search for 'green smoothies'
We've had some great threads over the last year or two on the subject. Lots of ideas and recipes.

i've just been a bought one (well, a brevelle blend active which was £20 from sainsburys) just made a kale, flaxseed, cinnamon, blueberry & almond milk smoothie, it's actually quite nice!

Nice.
That's pretty much what I have most days, except I have kale, cinnamon, 6 blueberries, double cream, cider vinegar and Brazil nuts.
I have to hold back on the blueberries as they spike my BG I tend use frozen berries as they are better carbwise than the blueberries it depend what we have in and needs to be used up, as my G/F likes the blueberries they can normally found in the fridge.

they are frozen blueberries if that makes a difference?

i just kinda made it up from other recipes i saw online, just found this tho, which might be useful?

Hi Paul, frozen blueberries are just the same as fresh in terms of carbs, but you have to make sure they aren't sweetened by sugar as some fruited are frozen in sugary water.

Just bought the Lidl version and it seems pretty good.
So far I've just made a soup.
Blending the ingredients then simmering seems quicker than cooking then blending afterwards.

The green smoothie pictures above would more or less destroy me if I included the banana, grapes/pineapple and some fruit juice :-(

Try a Vitamix blender if you ever get a chance. You'll never use anything else ever again.

Ha, if you spend £500 for a blender you will probably never buy another one I'm sure its great though

There is even a Vitmix for a mere £950 , may be I should get it to blend my 70p bunch of carrots

I've had one for a while. I use it a lot. The brand that you mention has a strong motor and I prefer it to a juicer because you keep the bits. It does pretty much anything without a struggle and as for what does it do for me? Because of it's compact size I'm more inclined to keep it on the kitchen worktop and I use it almost every day. Probably means I get a lot more than my 5/7/9 (depends on who you listen to) a day.
