Has anyone used the Nutribullet???

13 years ago

I am thinking of buying one, they say it is good for your health. Just wanting some feedback from people who have used them. Also would like to know some good recipes that you have tried.

Thanks

    Yes, I bought one in California after trying the one that my son and daughter-in-law had. It's very easy to use and it's lightweight, which is important for me since I have arthritis in my hands. A book of recipes is included with it. For me, it was a good buy.

    I googled this product and to me a couple of thing pop out. It does not tell me who David Wolfe is or what training/education he has to sell this product.
    Another, Because it mushes up leaves, seeds, etc, you would have to be very careful and wash all the products(food) very very careful as many of them do have preservatives and fertilizers on the skin and some seed are just not good for you, even ground up.
    It also does not give you a physical address and/or where the product is made and the guarantee.
    This would be really good if I could answer the questions I just posted. Would I buy it? Not sure.

    any decent home and garden center or patio supply place should be able to point you in the right direction. the restaurant ones im sure are custom made and most likely very expensive. You may also try asking in the greenhouse forum, i linked it below. Here is a link that might be useful: greenhouse,etc

    Anyone here have a nutribullet?

    Q

    You know I have the magic bullet and really didn't use it very much. Then one day I accidentally bought whole bean coffee instead of the ground coffee, and used the magic bullet to grind the coffee up in. Boy, it did a great job, I must say. I know it sounds funny, but I wasn't using it much til I found a new purpose. LOL. So, for those with a magic bullet, try griding whole beans in it, it's easy, fast, and boy does that smell good!

    I decided we were going to go on the smoothie kick too. We have to make some changes. we went to GNC and got their protein powder, they have a diet plan for it. Several were on sale and the big containers were buy one get one half off. He also told me about the green coffee bean extract pills that he put his mom on along with the same powder diet plan and she was losing weight so I got some of them. We went to Bed Bath and Beyond and I looked at the Nutribullet, black magic bullet, the Ninja professional 700wat and decided on the Ninja since it had the most powerful motor. I had a 20% off coupon. We will shop tomorrow after we clean out the fridge, freezers, and pantry. I hope we like it.

    Marie, you could use all organic produce then you would not have to worry~~~but why do I want to eat leaves? I am just not a juicer kinda person~~~I never drink juice I would just rather eat my fruits and veggies. I do not like smoothies or any of that~~~

  • 13 years ago

    If you read the instruction book, it plainly states that some seeds should NEVER be eaten, so that is covered. I am always very careful about my fruits and veggies and I know which peels,leaves, etc. to eat and which ones might pose a problem. (as I think any adult with two licks of common sense would do). As far as the guarantee is concerned, I bought mine at Kohl's and I have never had a problem with returning merchandise there. I'm not urging anyone to buy one, just stating the facts as I see them.

  • 13 years ago

    I do eat a whole apple, seeds and all~~~~I have done this for over 30 years for some reason it freaks people out;) I am going to look for this at KOHL's never know I may get into juicing~~~since this one seems easy to clean/store not some big ole thing~~~~

    My primary care doc told me NOT to drink fruits and veggies. EAT them. Less calories. (You're consuming MORE when it is made into juice.)

    Interesting advice from the doctor. I juice for exactly that reason - you get tons more fruits and veggies. I don't count fruit and vegetable calories because I think the health benefits are way more important. One large glass of juice I made recently had 2 apples, cucumber, parsley, spinach, kale, lemon. Tons of vitamins and antioxidants and there is no way I would eat all of that.

    I don't have this but I have been considering it for work and traveling. I have a hurom juicer and a Vitamix.

    I have done a juice/raw food diet in the past, and my kids are currently doing one. And, I have a Champion juicer. Having said that, I think that "juicing" might be ok as a temporary or occasional "cleansing" or quick weight loss or "kick start" to a different eating regime. My kids diet goal right now is to get over that sugar and carb craving that one can develop over time and especially after the holidays and ultimately eat a healthy, mostly vegetarian diet.. Being a diabetic, I am told to not drink fruit juices.... too much sugar too quickly entring the bloodstream. When I did my juicing and raw food diet, mostly vegetables, my glucose levels really came down and I stopped one of my meds and discovered that one of the diabetes medications was the cause of some serious ailments. Very nice surprise; but for me a 'juicing lifestyle' doesn't make it. It did teach us some healthy eating habits which we still follow. The 'fiber' that gets thrown away offended my frugal-ness..... right now tho, we have a horse and chickens at a stable who benefit from our 'garden waste'.

  • 13 years ago

    The good thing I have read about the Nutribullet is that unlike a "Juicer" you don't throw any of the fiber away, it all gets blended.

  • 13 years ago

    My guess is that Redcurls doctor is referring to store bought bottles of fruit and vegtable drinks. I don't think putting an apple in a Nutibullet and drinking it is a problem. Many bottled drinks have added ingredients, made from a concentrate that change the nature of the food. Some juices don't have added sugars etc BUT we tend to drink more just because of the convenience of easy pour bottles.

    Tomorrow I am going to buy one, will let you know how it goes.

  • 13 years ago

    The nutribullet sounds great for incorporating more fruit and veggies. A while back, we bought a vitamix and it's made a huge difference in our produce intake. You can consume so much more and you don't lose the benefit of the fiber as you would with juicing. Plus, you can add lots of water to make it more juice-like, which is an added bonus to help get more fluids. As for recipes, one we really like is a tropical smoothie. Frozen mango, pineapple, banana, and a couple fresh oranges, plus a couple handfuls of spinach or mixed greens. If we want a breakfast/meal replacement smoothie, I also add flax seeds and almonds for protein. Also, home made tomato "juice" with fresh org. tomatoes, celery, parsley or cilantro, a little bit of onion, a garlic clove, and a bit of hot sauce. Blend with water to desired consistency.

    I had a virus in a nerve in my jaw, it also got into my tongue. It was so painful that I could not eat or even talk. To keep from starving, I started to juice. I lost 24 pounds in 60 days, healthily. Whoopee! I, like Petra, use most kinds of fruits and vegetables, most often many together at one time. You are literally juicing more good food than you could ever eat in a day. It gave me more energy and agility than I ever had. I never felt better in my life.

    Juicing can cause some undesirable symptoms for several days for some people as it is detoxifying the body, but that passes if you stick with it. I had some big lumps on my face as the result of side effects of a medicine. After a week or so on the juice, they totally disappeared. After 60 days, I'm able to eat without pain, watching that I don't let my extra weight return. But everyday I squeeze some juice to get all that nutrition. The hardest part is cleaning the juicer every time I use it. I'll look into the Nutribullet.

    Better read the comments on Amazon about poor customer service. The comments are on the page below the product description.

  • 13 years ago

    I think Toni must be correct about Redcurl's doctor. I can't imagine any physician telling a patient not to eat too many vegetables!

    Juicing made a dramatic difference in my energy levels. I use a traditional juicer (Acme Juicerator), but have a friend who swears by the Bullet.

  • 13 years ago

    That would be one rare doctor to say to eat *less* fruit and vegetables!

  • 13 years ago

    I bought my Nutribullet yesterday at Bed Bath and Beyond, it was $99 but used their 20% coupon. Good deal I thought.

    Will let you know once I use it what I think of it.

    I’ve had a really good experience using the NutriBullet Pro 900, I use it every day. I especially like that you can prep a bunch of individual portions in advance with the single serve containers. I just wake up, blend and go. There is a good review here http://www.wellonthego.com/nutribullet-pro-900-vs-nutribullet-rx/

    I also have a Nutribullet that I like....sometimes I just make a fruit smoothie, sometimes I use vegetables and fruit.

  • 10 years ago

    Anyone reading this should not be confused about what the NutriBullet and similar high velocity blenders are used for. They are not juicers. There's an enormous health benefit to ingesting the whole fruit or vegetable.

    I'm on my second magic bullet, still enjoying one almost every day for over two years. My concoctions are heavy on the green stuff with a smaller proportion of fruits, I've found that a tiny slice of lemon or orange makes a huge difference in flavor. Half an apple and a few pieces of frozen fruit turn a dark green mixture into something delicious.

    A good quality protein powder turns a green drink into a meal.

    I've never had a doctor not love hearing about the "sludgies". My primary care doctor had me bring mine into the office one early morning to demonstrate to her entire staff. She brought the produce and other ingredients.

    What a difference 3 years makes for me, after reading my post above. I do have a nutribullet, not the magic bullet, and use it every day but I no longer ever drink a protein smoothie preferring a whole food diet with high healthy fats. I use my nutribullet every morning to make my "bulletproof coffee", which is ghee and heavy cream blended into it.

  • 10 years ago

    I like the bullet but I have a difficult time opening it since it is so wide and hard to grasp. A rubber opening doesn't help much to twist off the lid. If I don't tightening it so much, I'm afraid it will vibrate open when juicing and make a mess.
