Why I love the NutriBullet

Have you ever just sat to think about a product you are so happy to own? A product that you depend on? So much of what comes on the market anymore isn’t really a life-changer… it’s just more stuff. Sure, maybe it’s smaller or faster or more streamlined somehow, but it’s often not really necessary. In an effort to “live green,” I don’t like buying things just to buy them. I wanted to find a way to make smoothies and incorporate more greens into our diets.

So I didn’t wait for the holidays or to ask my family to buy it for me as a gift. I was inspired to buy the Nutribullet from Costco right then and there. I had never given it any consideration or thought before seeing it there. I was stunned how it made us use leftover produce, how versatile it was to prep vegetables for soups, and how easy it was to make smoothies. A huge benefit was that it helped me eliminate my acid reflux symptoms.

Benefits of NutriBullet

The NutriBullet is one of my favorite products because it helps keeps me and my family healthy. There are so many health benefits to blending up fruits and vegetables. Being able to make them into a smoothie or process for soup or sauces makes it easier to eat healthy.

Nutribullet is not like a juicer

What’s so great about the NutriBullet is that it’s nothing like a juicer. Have you ever tried cleaning a juicer? It’s time-consuming and even then, it never seems clean. Not only do you get to consume the entire fruit and vegetable with the NutriBullet, but it is super easy to use. Because it is so easy to use, I use it a lot! Again, it’s so much easier to clean than a juicer. Still, you can make any type of juice with it such as tomato juice, watermelon juice, orange and pineapple, and more.

Promotes healthy lifestyle

Most of us can be a little healthier and make better choices. The NutriBullet helps immensely. I also love using a fruit infused water bottle and a reusable water bottle whenever I leave the house so that I’m not tempted with sugary drinks or caffeine. To help with exercise, I love using my Fitbit as it keeps me motivated. The NutriBullet helps my family to eat nutritious foods.

Eating healthier with the NutriBullet 

I try to eat healthy and get my family to eat healthy too. I choose organic produce and dairy whenever we can afford to but mostly I look at what my family consumes most often and check the best foods to buy organic and try to buy those foods. In our house, that includes buying the following items organic 95% of the time: apples, carrots, spinach and kale mix, frozen berries, and milk. It’s great to be able to toss these into the blender and drink them while getting maximum nutrition from them. Being able to blend fibrous plant foods is incredible.

NutriBullet is great for leftover produce

I use the NutriBullet with whatever produce I have around. Also, there are great recipes but I just blend whatever we have. I’m really not drinking it for the taste. I drink it for the nutrition and energy it gives me. Using it makes me feel better about myself, that I am taking care of myself.

Breaks down seeds, nuts and skins with ease

I also enjoyed reading the manual and NutriBullet recipe book it comes with to see what seeds are safe to eat. Never a cantaloupe fan, I love that I can put in the fruit and the seeds to sweeten up some kale and spinach. Everyone knows how the skins of some fruits and vegetables are so nutritious. But that’s also harder for your body to break down, and even worse if you have silent reflux or acid reflux.

What’s so great about the NutriBullet is that it effortlessly extracts all the good things that come from whole fruits and vegetables. You can easily ingest and digest the (okay-to-eat) seeds, the fiber, the juice, the pulp… everything! Nothing is wasted!

Eating more greens because of the NutriBullet

I have a friend who was buying some sort of powder with “greens” in it and she would add it to her smoothie blender, not a NutriBullet. But why would you want or need greens in powdered form — along with the added chemicals — when I could actually put real greens like spinach, kale, and spring greens — in there? Sometimes I toss in broccoli or cauliflower or really anything I have on hand. We buy frozen organic berries with kale and spinach from Costco which works really well.

Easy to make smoothies

My son doesn’t like milk but I make him a smoothie almost every day when I have strawberries and bananas to blend in. He absolutely loves it. My husband and I make our NutriBullet smoothie recipes with water or coconut water.

Lots of recipes

There are so many advantages of the NutriBullet. There are awesome Magic Bullet and NutriBullet recipes. All the models come with a recipe booklet. It’s been a great way to sneak a few extra vegetables in to my kids’ diets, especially after they got used to drinking the smoothies and “knew” they liked them. And lastly, it has really, truly helped me with my acid reflux. I cannot say enough about the NutriBullet. I’ve never tried a Vitamix but have heard they are wonderful too.

Disadvantages of NutriBullet

The nutritional benefits far outweigh any cons. The only negative thing I have to say about the NutriBullet is that there isn’t a good way to really clean the blade unless you use a water bottle brush. I highly recommend buying one to clean the NutriBullet. Because there isn’t a way to take apart the blade, it helps to brush it with a brush, especially a small one. If you do this for a few seconds, it will keep your blade and the seal clean. Use soapy water to wash it by hand. My NutriBullet is not dishwasher safe.

Then, there won’t be any disadvantages to owning a NutriBullet. Before I owned the brush to clean it, I once jimmied a toothpick around the edges and was horrified to find food bits in it. I am much better about tipping it after rinsing it out so it dries completely. However, there isn’t a way to actually really clean this, and it does get residue from the fruits and vegetables. I rarely use the millet blade, and when I do, I easily wipe it clean as I only use it with dry products. So take a few extra seconds to run the brush around it, and it will be fine. 

Different types of NutriBullet

The first NutriBullet I had I loved and probably used over 300 times. I like that it came with two blades: the extractor blade and the NutriBullet milling blade. While I ended up being thrilled with my purchase, I wish I researched a little more because a lot more choices, especially regarding cup sizes, colors, and the “series” options. In addition, I love the smaller sized cups that came with this model. The lids make it convenient to cover in the refrigerator and to take to drink in the car.

NutriBullet Pro

I wanted my mom to try my NutriBullet, and I let her borrow mine for a few weeks. I missed it so much, I ended up getting a new one and letting her keep mine. The new one I purchased is from the NutriBullet Pro Series. It is more powerful than the 600 series but both work exceptionally well, even after lots of use.

NutriBullet extractor blade and milling blade

I mostly use the extractor blade and use it every time I make a drink. Most models will come with at least two extractor blades. Otherwise, you can order a replacement. The milling blade is good too; however, I don’t use it as often. But there are easy NutriBullet recipes. We’ve used it for grinding nuts down for easier digestion and for the flavor in recipes. The first time I used the milling blade was to chop up whole sunflower seeds, shell and all.

The blade quickly turned them into a fine powder which I then added to my smoothie. It was a great way to get extra protein and minerals into the smoothie. I’ve since used it for almonds and walnuts, and it worked easily. You can make nut flours in the NutriBullet too.

How to use NutriBullet

It is easy to use a NutriBullet, and because it’s so easy to use, you will want to use it. You can follow a recipe or just toss in what you have on hand. 

Easy steps to use NutriBullet:

  1. Fill container with easy-to-blend ingredients first, followed by the harder ones, like carrots.
  2. Add water or milk or whatever you want; don’t fill past the line.
  3. Twist on the extractor blade/lid to close.
  4. Put the container on the NutriBullet base.
  5. Plug into the outlet.
  6. Twist the container for it to “catch,” and watch it blend in seconds.
  7. Twist the container for it to stop.
  8. Unscrew the lid/blade.
  9. Drink it from the container or pour it in a glass and enjoy.
  10. Easily wash out the blade and the container and let dry.

NutriBullet review

There are so many things I love about the NutriBullet. It’s more than an average blender. In fact, you may find yourself not using a regular blender anymore. First off, I love that it was and still is such a huge help for silent reflux and acid reflux for me. It broke down the food for me, “predigested it” so to speak. It enabled me to get nutrients and give my digestive system time to heal. I have found even more reasons to love my NutriBullet food processor! We recently moved to Arizona and lots of people here have citrus trees that produce so much fruit, they just give them away.

I have been able to blend up lemons, grapefruits and various varieties of oranges for smoothies, juice, and for recipes. Additionally, I sometimes can’t finish all the produce I buy from Costco, especially the spinach and carrots. I’ve been putting everything I know we won’t finish in time in the Nutribullet and use as a base for making soups. It’s delicious, healthy and enables me to put in less sodium-filled broth.

First time using a NutriBullet

I was excited to use this small personal blender. Immediately, I washed it out and put in some spinach leaves, an apple, a carrot, and a banana, our families’ staple produce. I read that it’s best to put the easy things to blend in first (spinach and banana) followed by the more difficult things to blend (apples and carrots). I then filled it with water to the line, twisted the cap/blade on, and easily put it on the MagicBullet processor.

It was simple to turn it, and it blended everything fast and completely. I was stunned at how easy and fast it was to blend everything up. I drank it and felt great that I was getting some nutrition into my body. To me, it seemed to be more convenient than other blenders for smoothies. I really like that it doesn’t take up a lot of kitchen space.

NutriBullet for acid reflux

On a whim, I bought a NutriBullet. It changed everything for me. It helped eliminate my acid reflux. Before the NutriBullet, I had been to multiple doctors, including a gastroenterologist for an upper GI endoscopy. I tried prescription medicines the doctors recommended and various OTC medicines. I tried Prevacid (lansoprazole), Prilosec (omeprazole), Tums, and various generic brands. Nothing was giving me relief, even after months of avoiding trigger foods and remaining upright for hours after eating. I even tried existing for days on broth and rice to give my digestive system a break. Nothing helped.

Consume real food with NutriBullet

I sought advice from everyone I could about acid reflux symptoms and heartburn. In addition, I sought advice from my caring nurse friend. I did everything they suggested, and while some things helped a little, nothing made me feel much relief. And I continued to have that acid creep up my throat every single day. I also hated that feeling of something being stuck in my throat all the time. These are awful symptoms.

Acid reflux and silent reflux symptoms

When I acquired acid reflux, it wasn’t the type with heartburn. It’s the silent reflux type (LPR – Laryngopharyngeal Reflux). It is the acid reflux with phlegm (sorry) and coughing and the awful feeling of acid coming up my throat and a constant sore throat. I was miserable for months. It was almost like I was experiencing an endless cold. The embarrassing part was hacking up phlegm all the time… something I had never done in my life.

I carried tissues and hand sanitizer with me everywhere. I was embarrassed, fed up, and rundown. My body was sick for weeks on end. I almost always had that awful feeling of acid coming up my throat and the feeling of something being stuck in my throat. I was becoming susceptible to other illnesses too as my body was so broken down.

What’s great about the NutriBullet is you drink the nutrients

My sister kept telling me that my body needed time to heal. That’s great and makes sense but I often got mad at her while saying, “How can it heal? I need to eat!” I tried everything:

  • My nurse friend told me to just have broth and rice. 
  • Stopped eating late at night. I was a huge night eater. I completely stopped eating after 5pm.
  • Avoided all citrus and acidic foods, like any tomato-based foods.
  • Only drank water, nothing else.
  • Tried eating cooked vegetables but didn’t always have them ready when I was hungry so I wasn’t great at it. Plus I tired of them.
  • Tried the OTC acid-reducing medicines and made an appointment with my doctor.

Still, I had that awful “acid coming up” feeling all the time.

Natural aid for acid reflux

I actually felt like the acid reflux medicines made me feel worse. I kept hearing my sister’s advice about needing time to heal and to eat cooked vegetables. About a month later, I walked past a display of big Nutribullet boxes, and I put one in my cart without giving any consideration to it. I just bought it out of desperation and thought, “Maybe this will help me.” I thought if I could “drink” my food, it would be giving my digestion system a break.

When you have bad acid reflux symptoms, you don’t want to eat. While there are many healing smoothie recipes, I just used whatever I had at home. Because I was avoiding solid foods, being able to drink a fruit and vegetable smoothie instead of not eating at all, eating crackers, or only eating rice and salty broth, was amazing. I couldn’t believe that after few days, I felt like I was healing. I didn’t feel that acid All Of The Time. It was incredible. While the NutriBullet helped my silent reflux and acid reflux, it is important to seek medical advice for any medical concerns and conditions.

GERD and silent reflux natural cures

I read everything I could about acid reflux and silent reflux and avoided all the foods the experts suggested, including anything with tomatoes. Once, after I started feeling better, I ate a small piece of lasagna and had severe acid reflux for weeks afterward. Since then, I became diligent about completely eliminating all tomato-based foods, all citrus, chocolate, onions, nuts and meat. Over time I incorporated all these foods back into my diet. Over time, I added citrus as well. Everyone is different. Talk to your doctor. Keep a food log of what works for you.

I started doing a lot better after using the NutriBullet for a week and after about 3-4 months I felt like I was back to my old self. I started adding lots more foods back into my diet but with caution as I never wanted to go back to feeling how badly I felt. And I sure didn’t want to undue all the healing I had finally done. To this day, certain types of nuts bother me, as I believe they are just harder for my body to digest. Yet I can enjoy tomatoes, sauce, and salsa once more.

The acid reflux was so bad for me that I will never go back to that again. I diligently use my NutriBullet a few times a week just to give my digestion system a break, so to speak. The foods I put in the NutriBullet are also healthier and more nutrient-dense than anything I would be eating anyway, so that is a huge motivation for using it again and again.

NutriBullet helped my silent reflux and acid reflux

All I can say is that I felt completely desperate when I was suffering from silent reflux and acid reflux. None of the antacid medicines worked for me. My body needed time to heal. I couldn’t starve so blending up the whole fruits and vegetables in the NutriBullet seemed like a good idea. They were being almost “digested” for me as they were turned into a liquid state. It gave my digestive system the break it needed. I do not think NutriBullet claims to cure anything, nor am I saying it will cure you.

I just know I was willing to do anything to start feeling better, and using the NutriBullet worked wonders for me and still helps me, even years later. I cannot say enough about this product and how it helped me with silent reflux. It was a natural cure for my silent reflux for me but please talk with your doctor.

Talk to your doctor about natural help for reflux

Disclaimers — Please seek your own medical advice from your doctor. I am not claiming the NutriBullet will do for you what it did for me, but using this appliance was the only thing that worked for me. I have to say, I wasn’t good at cooking or blending vegetables before using this. I was just doing my best to eat light, easy-to-digest foods. The NutriBullet was a natural help for silent reflux. I still use it even 18 months later and rarely have symptoms.

Benefits of NutriBullet for Weight and Health

What’s so great about the NutriBullet is that we as a family eat healthier, it’s simple to use and clean, there aren’t a lot of parts to it, and it helped me with my GERD symptoms like nothing had ever helped me before. It truly has changed my life because it was a huge help for silent reflux and the acid reflux I had been suffering from for over a year. With so many health benefits, the NutriBullet is small and easy to use. It doesn’t take lots of space on a standard kitchen counter. It can help promote a healthy lifestyle and weight.
