Nutri Bullet

[Tesla]

So out of some xmas vouchers i decided to get a Nutri Bullet.

 

so, advice?

 

Didn't realise you have to have liquids in it/ fill it with salad leaves..... any good recipes? I'm more looking towards the sweet/fruit side of things....but happy to try stuff.

I've had one of these for a few years now and they are brilliant, so easy to clean... I use it for protein breakfast shakes in the morning as it fits nicely into my hectic schedual.

 

One thing I would always recommend is to add some green veg to any shake for digestion and to balance the acidity of it.

 

Check out this getting started graphic

 

 

I generally use water as my base liquid, and a banana helps to keep the air bubbles down if adding protein powder.

 

I prefer spinach as my green veg as its pretty tasteless and cheap to buy.

best bet is get down to the local market and buy up soft fruit. Esp strawberries

Slice them up,lay flat on a tray and freeze them. Then put them into boxes.

Then put a handful of strawbs, a dash of lemon juice and a good slug of vodka. Blitz and then top off with lemonade for a daiquiri. Also works really well with loganberries if you can get them.

 

If you insist on being healthy then a handfull frozen strawbs, a small youghurt such as a bunch bunch, a handfull of oats, a bananna and top of with water.

I use mine for Huel, it's great make sure you wash the blades straight away!

@zag With that poster, i assume that then means i dont have to put something leafy in the machine? (ie celery could replace the leafy item)

Off Topic: @Arreks is Huel any good?

(I've also been investigating meal-replacement 'food'stuffs so I was looking into getting some kind of blender/bladey-smashy-cutter-upper, so any recommendations for hardware would be awesome)

Yes you can use any green vegetable really. Its all about reducing the PH of the shake.

I liked huel. I'm considering getting more for over BETT and then my skin doesn't end up falling off again!

It's okay.. I mean, I felt great after using it for breakfast every day for a month or so (I'm not using it every day anymore) but it tastes how I would imagine cremated remains would taste. I had to add more flavourings to the vanilla flavoured one to make it bearable.

[Joanne]

I bought the huel flavouring with mine and it was good. I went with strawberry.

not interested in huel just yet, just want general usage advice!

Try adding some ice to your shakes! Just seems to make it taste better ( for me anyway)

I bought some frozen pack thing "good for nutribullets" , it was kale, spinich, mango and kiwi. tastes good, the liquid it says to use is apple juice (which we normally get every week, this week? nah, not a chance!) so used orange and mango juice instead. Having it this morning. Hopefully will get used to it (using the nutribullet) and start adding more to it/ doing different bits, but for now, this frozen pack seems good!

[Garacesh]

Apple juice, iirc, is used as a base for a lot of drinks because it's quite sweet.. But its sugar content is usually pretty high.

Pretty sure I saw an advert last week saying Aldi are doing a bullet-esque blender, hopefully they still have some on Friday.

[Tesla]

I try do always buy juice concentrate..... tesco have a fairly good range, i just happened not to choose apple this week!

 

the smoothie i made i had during the course of the morning and it seemed to keep me filled up and not starving by the time lunch came round..

I thought I posted a link to meal plans in here?

Nope, different thread - here they are - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h38cyl3cc...8Rz7nSI0a?dl=0

 

Tailored for me though... results may vary. IGNORE THE CLEANSE RUBBISH that's in there.

haha nope, i started this, then someone else started a huel thread, and in that people started to post stuff relevant to me in this thread.... confusing

 

Ahh the cleanse, i remember.
