So you are just beginning this regimen? Did you try other routines?

The words "regimen" and "routine" don't compute for me. Over the years, we've educated ourselves about the values of these different foods but just haven't found the right delivery system until now. Juicing doesn't begin to compare.

We fix healthy meals and make good choices in restaurants, but it wasn't enough. We need more fiber, more raw nutrition, more fruits and vegetables.

We've had some yummy results...and one major MISS! Lol, Robert is the experimenter and more likely to try vile combinations. Hilarious.

Good for you. I made a shake the other night with a frozen banana, an orange, some greek yogurt, 2 cups spinach, a scoop of vanilla protein powder and some low-cal juice to give it some liquid. It was green, and looked kind of yucky but tasted delicious. Keep in mind the calorie content if you are trying to lose weight. My smoothie was probably close to 400 calories, which is way too much for a snack for me but not a meal. I split it with my hubby so it was more in line with a snack. Have fun experimenting and please post any good recipes you make!

I don't have a NutriBullet but do have a Magic Bullet and have used it like the NB. You are going to love your new system and lifestyle. Be strict at the beginning and you will be amazed at the results! Can't wait 'til my MB dies.

Sorry about my choice of words. I was just curious about what leads people to using something like a nutribullet, whether the product replaces or adds to meals, etc.

My breakfast consisted of mixed greens, pear, apple, blueberries and soy milk. It was delicious! Enjoy your NB. We find new ways to use it almost every day.

I went to Kohl's with my 30% off coupon for a Nutri Bullet last night.. they only had one and the box had been taped shut with scotch tape so I opened it up to check.. It had been returned used!... and stuck to high heaven. It was the only one on the shelf so I opted for Ninja Master Prep. Like all of these type appliances it has good and bad reviews. I haven't tried it yet, have to go to the store today for all the goodies to use in it. Does anyone here use a unflavored protein in theirs? I can't see a vanilla flavored one tasting good in a veggie smoothie but I could be wrong.. any opinions or experiences with it?...

Sleeper... do you peel your bananas before you freeze them?...Sorry to ask what might be a silly question but I am totally new at this juicing/smoothie thing and am anxious to hear others tips and suggestions. This past year my husband and I both lost 45 pounds,each (about an 8th grader lol). We are totally burned out on salads at the moment but love veggies and after reading all the benefits and how people feel from the veggie smoothies we've been (well maybe me mostly) anxious to try them. I'm going to Walmart here in just a little bit to load up. They just broke ground this week on a new Sam's Club that will be about 2 minutes from my house, I am so excited about that, I love their big bags of frozen fruit and fresh veggies. Seems like a silly thing to be just giddy over.. but I am at the moment...

dbfirewife, when I got to Kohl's with my 30% coupon there weren't any Nutribullets left on the shelf so I ordered one from that machine in the store. A bit a work but I got my 30% discount and no shipping.

I was afraid to order it at their Kiosk.. I have heard nothing but horror stories on their facebook page from people ordering things... I hope you have no problems... I figured I didn't have anyhthing to lose by trying the Ninja, they are so good about taking things back and my coupon is good for a few more days...if I don't like the Ninja I will return it and take my chances ordering also...Or.. I might go ahead and order a Nutri Bullet, I can return it to the store if I end up liking the Ninja. I hope yours comes quickly....

Pam, I'm sure that different people use it for different reasons. I plan to use if as a way to get a large amount of raw, healthy foods into my body. I suffer from fibromyalgia as well as muscle damage due to a medication side effect. I'm hoping for some healing benefits.

I'm going to track down a non-flavored protein powder for those times I use "nutri blast" as a meal replacement. I'll let you know what I come up with.

Thanks Rhizo. I am curious because I know we eat poorly and I would like to make some impprovements. I know people who eat just to satisy hunger, but I love to eat! One more question, was the muscle damage from plaquenil?

I once fell for the Magic Bullet ad and hated it and returned it. So now I'm interested in the Nutribullet. I don't want to waste my money if I'm not going to like it. My daughter has the Ninja one. I eat raw six fruits for lunch every day in a big bowl. I'm wondering if I will like the raspberries, blackberries , blueberries, grapes, watermelon and cherries all blended in a drink. Do I have to add spinach which I love in a salad , and we grow it in our garden. I'm just thinking, do I want to drink my lunch or eat it as I always do along with a panini.

Is Kohl's the best place to buy it price wise?

DB, yes I peel my bananas and freeze them either in a plastic bag or wrapped in plastic wrap. I buy the reduced ones that have brown spots on them or if your grocery doesn't sell those just let them get really ripe. They are so sweet then and add a really nice smooth texture to your drink.

Pam...the medication was Crestor.

Lily, what was it about the Magic Bullet that you didn't like? Just curious.

About the food combinations....the NB comes with some good reading material breaking down the inherent qualities in the different foods and making good combination suggestions.

Our first mixture consisted of spinach, kale, pineapple, blueberries, and a banana. I was afraid to taste it...it looked like something you should run from, screaming. But we both really liked it! I made one this morning with spinach, an apple, lots of frozen mixed fruit, blueberries, and chia seeds. Boy, was that good!

It was years ago I returned the Magic Bullet after watching ads on TV and it didn't seem to measure up to what I wanted. But this Nutri bullet seems very intriguing since I eat mostly fruits and veggies. I don't like kale but love spinach. So it comes with a recipe book?

I love my Nutribullet, I use it ever day at lunch. Just a week into using it I feel that I had more energy.

Today I am having one using, spinach, broccoli, cherries (pitted), strawberries, mango, banana, honey, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, protein powder and I use Almond Milk for my liquid. Very tasty.

Is there a big difference between a blender and the Nutribullet? I have a blender and have been thinking about trying to do smoothies to eat better and especially to drop some weight. I like the reminder to think about the sum total of what I'll be putting in so that I don't accidently load it up with calories.

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.

actually the one I got is called the Ninja kitchen system Pulse, it's motor is 700 watts,the nutribullet is 660 according to the box . The reviews online are great. this is it. I never buy with out researching first so it was a difficult decision but I think it's just what I need.
