Ninja Nutri Ninja Personal Blender With 1200W Base

I love my new Ninja IQ blender.

There are a ton of reviews on this so I’ll keep mine simple.

1) This model is well worth a little extra $$ for the higher power blender especially if you are going to make anything with ice.

2) The blender is Fantastic. The extra blades up the center make a huge difference when you are blending. Also use caution they are super sharp and will cut you while you are cleaning them if you are not careful. I’ve made frozen drinks, soup, chile verde sauce and some other things in it. It works great every time and I like that the lid locks into place AND has a little cap you can pull back if you want to add anything while it is mixing. That is a pretty important feature to me when I’m making soup.

3) The smoothie cups I love. I make a different smoothie almost every morning now because it is so easy and works so well. I used to have a magic bullet and that thing sucked if there was any ice that wasn’t already crushed in the cup. But no such worries with this. It pulverizes the ice every time. The lids took a little getting used to but I found if you make a seal with your mouth around the entire opening it is easy to drink from them. My husband hates the lids though and so he uses a large straw for the smoothies I make him to go.

4) The settings for nutriblend and untra-nutriblend! So you put your smoothie on the blender and select one of those settings and you can totally walk away. They are timed and do the pulses and stuff for you so you don’t have to sit there for a minute and watch it blend you can pack your lunch or do a few other small errands while it is mixing and come back and it has stopped itself and is just waiting for you. On a few occasions I didn’t get enough liquid in. No worries it still blended the crap out of the stuff inside but there was just no way to drink it so you add a little more liquid blend again and you are good to go.

5) The other settings. This is so easy. There is a timer on the actual blender that lets you know how long you have been blending at a certain speed. Of if you are pulsing it lets you know how many pulses you’ve done. I really appreciate stuff like this so I don’t have to watch a clock or count myself.

Overall I’ve been really happy with this blender. It took the place of 2 other things on my kitchen counter and works better than both of them at their respective jobs. Get the one with the bigger motor and you can’t go wrong.

Excelente producto, ahorro espacio ya que antes usaba otro para hacer smoothies , la licuadora es ligera y licua a la perfección

It work great . The multiple cup sizes and the full blender makes it easy for smoothies for one or more at any time . And take on the go

We knew we wanted to get more vegetables and fruits into our diet, and were close to getting a juicer. Infomercials on the Nutribullet changed our mind about that – it became pretty clear that the quantity of fruits/vegetables to make juice equated to a whole lot of clean up, a whole lot of wasted nutrients, and a whole lot of calories.
When I started researching the Nutribullet, I ran into Consumer Report reviews that talked about parts breaking for that product. They recommended the Ninja. I am very happy I went with that recommendation.
We use ours primarily for smoothies and protein drinks. It is possible to adjust the consistency from super thick to very liquid, just by adding some ice or fruits or vegetables with a lot of water in them. The recipe and instruction books are easy to follow and have good hints and suggestions so in no time, we have found ourselves making up our own combinations.
Now we keep protein powder, a bag or two of frozen fruit, some pineapple coconut water and then add in whatever fresh fruits & veggies look good at the farmers market.
My particular favorite is a kale tonic. This was based on a juice I have at my favorite breakfast place, and it was super easy to figure out proportions. One fuji apple, one handful of kale, one lemon and half a cucumber with some shaved ice make a great drink that I am not worried about having from a diet/calorie perspective.
And more from a diet perspective, my husband and I both find ourselves using this rather than reaching for something else with more calories and less nutrients. If it wasn’t easy to use and clean up, we would be back to our evil ways when it comes to snacking.
I am very liberal about what I put into the mixer including seeds and skin, though I do take off the lemon peel. I have found that chopping it into chunks makes it easier to fit everything in the container, but you don’t need to worry about the blades cutting stuff up and pulverizing it.
I bought the large blender but have not used it yet, indeed we almost exclusively use the largest “cup” and the smaller blade assembly pictured. It is ridiculously easy to clean up. It could go in the dishwasher, but you can also handwash it easily, there is nothing and nowhere for food particles to hide. Just be very careful around the blades.
I would be remiss not to mention the Auto IQ feature. This is really a set it and forget it feature that takes all the guesswork out of how long to blend or at what speed. My husband likes to experiment with the other settings, but this button makes smoothies as easy as put the ingredients in, turn it on and walk away. There are industrial strength suction cups on the bottom of the unit that keep the unit from traveling.
It’s loud, but so what. You have to be careful not to overfill, the unit will leak a little in that case. There are also a few lessons to learn about what should be on the bottom and top to keep it mixing smoothly, but its not a big deal to make a mistake or two with this and figure it out. These are all common sense things.
Highly, highly recommended.

My husband and I absolutely love this blender!!! So versatile and also so easy when it comes to protein shakes! You can blend it right in the tumblers! It is super durable, great quality. Very powerful and what you see in the photos is what you get. We love it!

Simple, convenient, professional!
