Nutribullet

Are we being gunned down in a "hail of nutribullets"?

I got a Salter Nutripro. More powerful and cheaper than the Bullet ones.

Gimmiky!! What's wrong with a liquidiser or food processor. Originally they cost nearly £100 and are now half price.

How much are Nutribullet machines and is there only one model?

I do like my nutribullet and for somebody like myself who hates spinach it is ideal. Because I have Macular Degeneration I am supposed to eat a lot of kale so this machine helps with that.

If you mix eg kale, grapes, bananas and a satsuma, the end result looks like disgusting bright green pond life but tastes delicious. It is a case of experimenting with what you have. I am pleased to have a downstairs loo!

I was amazed at how easy it is to clean- I abandoned my fancy juicer because it took me 2 minutes to produce a lovely drink and 20 minutes to clean the apparatus.

Oh yes! (re sunseeker's post. I suppose it could be like - grapes are good. Grape juice is not. Something to do with the Glycaemic index.

The Nutribullet has more blades and gives you a liquid that is not grainy when you put whole fruits with seeds and skins in it nellie (a few seeds like apple pips don't go in). It mills seeds and nuts more finely than a blender. I have a fabulous KitchenAid blender that gives me lovely soups when I have cooked the ingedients, but the Nutribullet blasts raw ingredients. I can use both - enjoying having the extra veg, fruit, nuts and seeds at the moment.

Riverwalk My DD is into that Bristol chart as well"!

Have you encountered the one with with Bristol stool chart cake?
There appear to be mugs with thses images on as well!

Warning this image is not for the squeamish.

But I bet you will all look at it anyway.

What is it about nurses sense of humour that generates these things?

(My DD had that sent to her on FB.)

Flickety I agree! I have just watched the advert video. I cannot see that it is any different from a normal reasonably powerful blender or food processor.
The pseudo science about the mixing action and the slicing blades seem no different from my small Moulinex goblet blender.
With a machine with a less powerful motor if you just chop teh veg up a bit bfore you start the motor would take less strain, in a smaller

The Nutribullet motor is 600 watts my Moulinex is 400 with a one litre goblet. They seem to do a 900watt professional model.

I doubt if this expensive machine would be any better than one of those.

I suspect it all depends on the power of the motor in the machine.

Oops! I think I will need a more powerful one to chop up the hard boiled egg I have been boiling to death while looking at GN.

I think it has to be used sensibly. Blasting a load of fruit can result in increased glucose levels and can affect acid levels in the stomach. Putting half veg and half fruit is advised, and don't stop eating whole fruit and veg normally. I struggled to get lots of veg down - I just ran out of steam with too much to eat - my meals are much smaller these days. This way, I can eat more healthily and I feel so much more energetic from it. I use the MyFitnessPal app to check I keep sugar levels low and am getting nutrients across the board.

I heard a doctor on the radio a week or so ago who wasn't keen on this. She said the fibre in the fruit and veg was broken down and the glucose (I think) was released. However, reading all the good reports I am tempted!

when

I worry about global warming with all this kale being consumed.

My son has that chart pinned on his bathroom door! (also a nurse)

I am a nurse jings - nothing more important than the Bristol Stool Chart!

I'm surprised you're not all doing a lot more than that.

Tegan perhaps not talk about "leaking slightly"?!

Nothing like coming right out with it Riverwalk!

Riverwalk thanks for asking . They are quite normal. I am not dieting or replacing meals - just using the Nutribullet to ensure my fruit, veg, nuts and seeds intake is much higher. I eat a normal breakfast, don't want much for lunch, so have a Nutribullet drink and maybe a salad or small sandwich, evening meal is light eg fish and veg, and in the evening the remainder of the made up drink and maybe an apple or two. I don't feel inclined to eat as many carbs.

It isn't a juicer as it blasts the whole fruit, veg, seeds etc and leaves no pulp. The idea is that you can absorb more of what you're having, which chewing doesn't always provide.

I tend to stick to three or four. No point overdoing it!

I vary the ingredients during the week.

With the instructions for my juicer it warned against using more than (I think) three different kinds of fruit/veg. How do you Nutribullet users get away with piling so many different things into it, and then into you? Does it have remarkable effects?

I do cram an awful lot in sometimes.
