Lately it seems smoothies are becoming even more popular. Smoothie Bars have popped up on every corner in the big city and everyone has their favorite. My favorite combo is a few strawberries and a banana! You can't go wrong with Strawberry Banana Smoothies! You are agreeing with me and probably nodding your head "YES!" right now!
While going to the smoothie shop every day is not cost effective, I have been blessed with a chance to bring you guys are review on the Nutri Ninja Blender! There are so many great things you can produce with this machine, but today we're going to discuss... Smoothies!
The Auto-iQ is a perfect machine for me. Before I had a chance to meet my new friend, I was told Ninja is the Mercedes in the Blender World. This is a perfect explanation of the greatness that is Ninja. I love it! The Auto-iQ blends, purees, pulses, goes for the amount of time specified and you end up with a delicious product!
Cleanup is easy too! The very scary blade (watch your fingers!!) sits in the pitcher easily and does it's job. Don't forget to remove it when finished blending though. It will likely fall out while you're pouring your delicious smoothie into it's glass. That's a mess that just isn't needed! Easy removal and easy clean up!
Fruit Salad Smoothie
1.5 cups Frozen strawberries pineapple, and peaches mix
.75 cup grapes -- fresh
.25 cup blueberries -- frozen
1 medium banana -- fresh
2 cups cold water
10 whole cashews
On my Ninja Blender, I run the "Frozen Drinks Smoothies" button. Simple enough, right!? Just throw in the ingredients, put the lid on top, and press the button. It will pulse and mix around the fruits to make a delicious smoothie for you to enjoy!
If you have been thinking about getting a Ninja Blender and just haven't jumped on that purchase yet, do it! I love mine and I'm sure you'll love yours as well.
While I really enjoy drinking the smoothie I've just told you about, I have a few favorites I'd like to share with you!
