NutriBlast Monday

If anyone is still hesitating to do this diet, hesitate no longer.  Forget the juicer and get yourself a NutriBullet.

Seriously.  I have the Pro 900, but I know that they are running a special on the 600 on the actual website for Nutribullet.  2 for 1.    I have posted some links below where you can get this awesome device.

What I like about the Nutribullet is that it is easy to clean up.  It comes with all of the equipment you need to make a days worth of healthy smoothies.

It has the 2 extractor blades, a large cup - which is good for 2 snack size juices, 2 medium cups good for a juice, 1 small cup, 2 lids, a sippy lid, a handled lip ring and a plain lip ring.  Everything you need.

In a hurry?  This is perfect.  Don't want to clean up a juicer, this is all you need.  On days my husband travels, I only use the NutriBullet.

Todays juices are:

Red leaf lettuce - cups
1 banana
cup of strawberries
Tbsp flax seeds
water to the max line

Blend 30 seconds.  Stop.  Blend 10 seconds

Smooth and delicious

I also made a Kale juice for myself for breakfast in the small cup
1 cup kale
5 strawberries
flax seeds
blend 30 seconds.  Rest.  Blend 20 more seconds

This time I got the kale smooth.  No chunks.

If you follow the instructions in the book NutriBullet sends you, you will get the right smoothie consistency you are looking for.


Enjoy your day.

Daily gratitude:  I have not been feeling very grateful this past week.

Today was a clearing out of the fridge.  Going away this week end and I need to get foods on the brink out of there.

Mocked V-8 juice
7 Roma tomatoes
6 stalks of celery
6 carrots
1 beet top
1/2 a lemon
1/2 head romaine
half bunch of parsley
1/4 red pepper
1/2 small white onion
All ingredients thru the juicer

I tend to add a dash of hot sauce to this drink to make it spicier.

The Nutribullet has arrived.

I took advantage of the 139.99 deal HSN.com had going for the 900 Pro series.

My first use was a disaster.  I did not follow the instructions to the T and overfilled slightly.  It squirted everywhere.  Once I followed the instructions, no problem.  It really blends up the greens and the fruits extremely smooth.  Nuts and seeds are not really ground up that well and will settle in the bottom of your drink.  I may omit this from the morning routine.    Fiber is left in this drink and will keep you fuller longer.

I would recommend this blender to those looking to add a juice to their diet and do not 3 want to get a juicer.
