My husband finally convinced me that we should order the NutriBullet that he had seen on the infomercials during the wee hours of the morning. He had spoken about it several times but I never saw the commercial and didn't care enough to waste my time researching it.
Well, let me tell you that I have seen the error of my ways and after having it just for one month I absolutely love it!
First off I'm disabled and exercise is very, very difficult. It also seems like I gain weight by just looking at food. Since we received our NutriBullet both my husband and I have lost over 10 pounds each and I haven't felt this healthy in a long time.
I also have very bad teeth from certain medicines that I had been taking when I first got sick and though I'm seeing a specialist, it has been very hard for me to eat properly.
I can honestly say that I am never hungry. What I really like about the NutriBullet is I can put all sort of vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc. in without having to peel anything. I do peel bananas and oranges though.
In the morning, I fill it half with fresh spinach, a banana, and my secret ingredient (Whey Protein Powder). Sometimes I add water, Crystal Light, or milk. Some liquid does need to be added and when I'm done sometimes I'll add a couple of ice cubes to thicken it up.
I always buy vanilla Whey Protein because it blends so well with everything I make and tastes like a shake. Now, NutriBullet doesn't mention anything about adding the Whey Protein, it was something I did on my own but what a difference.
I've tried apples, oranges, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, peaches, plums, carrots, tomatoes, and sweet potato. They all tasted great. I did try using Kale and celery but didn't care for the flavor so much. The spinach tastes great and once everything is blended you really don't taste it at all, though I do love spinach.
I have a shake for breakfast, any time I need a snack and instead of a glass of milk with each meal I'll have a shake. I can honestly say this is the first time I've ever been able to lose weight and not be hungry all the time.
I was paralyzed for a while and the Whey Protein helps me lose weight while building up my leg muscles. My muscles feel weak but I can definitely feel a difference in them and know I need to work on them. I haven't felt this good in many, many years. It was well worth the 6 payments of $19.99 and when I ordered it online from the company I didn't order all the extra stuff they tried to sell with it.
I can't say enough about how amazed I am with this product. If anything, I wish they made a smaller version of it to take when I travel. Depending on taste, I've added shredded coconut, flax seeds, and even a little brown sugar and loved the taste of each one.
I'm also diabetic and the only time my sugar went up was when I used only blueberries without combining other fruits. The NutriBullet is absolutely worth every penny we paid for it and it's very well built but if something ever did happen to it, I would definitely replace it. Not only would I replace it, I would pay the extra money to have it shipped to me as quickly as possible. Oh yeah, I forgot the best part, it only takes seconds to clean up.

Hi Carolee!
Laura with NutriBullet here! love your success with the NutriBullet. Is there any way we can use what you wrote for our Real People, Real Results testimonial page? We're trying to gather up reviews from people who have had positive health benefits from using our product, and this is exactly what we're looking for. And you wouldn't have to do a thing! :) Let me know and we'll be sure to let you know when it goes up on our blog. Thanks, again!
Hi Laura,
I would be honored to have my review posted in your, Real People, Real Results testimonial page. The Nutribullet is absolutely amazing! Once posted can you please tell me where to view it.
Sincerely,
- Carolee
The Vita Mix is a larger and older version of the Nutri Bullet. I mention this in case you want to look up additional recipes. Just remember,to reduce the quantities.
I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I have killed three magic bullets (the rubber attachment on the bottom of the blade assembly stripped every time), so the husband is still very leery of my purchase.
At the first use, I was quite impressed. I hope I remain impressed. Also take heed,hen using this, make sure all the product is below the max line of the cup. Otherwise it will have a tendency to leak.
I like how, with the Nutribullet and the VitaMix (which is a bit over my price range), the pulp is included in the blend. I HATED cleaning the pulp out of a standard juicer.
I, too, recommend using a protein shot when making this a meal. The vanillas blend very well. Good whey proteins are available all over the place, with minimal carb addition to the mix. Check the labels.

Thanks so much for contributing! We should be promoting the post on our FB, Twitter, and other social media sites soon, so keep an eye out! :)
