Today I finally used my NutriBullet Pro for the first time. I bought it several weeks ago. It took a while to take it out of the box and then another while to get it from the dining room table to the kitchen counter where it belongs. This morning I washed all the cups, lids and blades that came with it, and this afternoon I made my first NutriBlast.
Following the basic guidelines, I made up my own recipe using 2 cups of spinach, a handful or less of frozen blackberries and strawberries, a few fresh raspberries, 1/2 a banana and 1/8 cup of chia seeds. Filled to the Max line with ice cold water from the fridge - no ice.
It took me a minute or so to figure out how to twist and pulse after I got it on the base, but it worked in seconds! I did take it off the base once to tape the sides and shake it a bit to make sure that all got emulsified.
It was absolutely delicious, and I didn't taste the spinach or chia seeds at all! Now that I have one under my belt, I will be putting this to regular use and trying different recipes and combinations. I hope that all the NutriBlasts I might make taste even half as good as this one!
Having said that, I probably shouldn't be having that much fruit in one day, but at least it was mostly berries, which are better for weight loss and high in anti-oxidants.
