What is a Nutribullet?

Nutribullets are essentially blenders – they blend foods such as fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts into liquids or pastes.

Unlike traditional blenders, Nutribullets have bullet-shaped blending cups instead of jugs. You fill the cup, screw on the blade unit and flip it on to the base to blend. Most models come with sports lids that allow you to store and transport a single-portion smoothie.

The cups vary in size between 0.6 litres and 1.85 litres, and some pricier models come with a jug unit for making larger batches. You can get two different blades with the Nutribullet – one for blending liquids and one for milling hard foods – as well as a comprehensive recipe book.

Are Nutribullets juicers?

No, they are not juicers. The job of a juicer is to extract the liquid from fruits and vegetables, leaving the pulp behind. 

They are blenders. Blenders liquidise all of the fruit and vegetables, including the inner layers and outer skin. This means you'll be able to consume the nutrients from all parts of the food, as well as getting the benefits of the pulp and fibre. 

You can also blitz other foods in a blender, such as nuts, seeds and yoghurt, as well as making soups. Juicers can only make drinks.

Nutribullet blenders compared

Each Nutribullet blender comes with an assortment of different-sized blending cups with sports lids to convert them into travel mugs and a recipe book. The Nutribullet 600 and 900 are available with different-sized accessory packs, so if you want additional beakers or lids, you can opt for a bumper pack at a slightly higher price.

As you go up the range, you get more features and extra blending capacity. The Nutribullet jug blenders can make several portions in one go, such as the Blender Combo and the Smart Touch Blender.

Nutribullet GO

A lower-cost, cordless Nutribullet that's designed for use on the go.

• Capacity: 0.37 litres (stated capacity)

The Nutribullet GO is a portable blender with a 70W motor base and a detachable Tritan cup. According to the manufacturer, you'll get 'up to 20 blending cycles' from this model before it needs charging.

Nutribullet Ultra

The Ultra is Nutribullet’s quietest and most powerful mini blender yet, says the brand.

• Capacity: 0.9 litres
• Features: 1200W motor, includes two blending spends and rapid extractor blades
• Dishwasher safe: Cups and lids are dishwasher safe

• Dishwasher safe: Just the cups

The Nutribullet Baby is designed to help you make fresh, nutritious baby food without fuss. You chuck your ingredients into the cup or batch bowl, place it on the power base and press the button. You can choose to create a purée, or use less power to make a chunkier mixture.

Nutribullet Pro 900

A level up from the Nutribullet 600. This model is more powerful, but it's also more expensive.

• Capacity: 0.95 litres (measured capacity)
• Features: 900W motor, two blades (wet/dry), two tall plastic blending cups, one smaller blending cup, various lids and several lips with handles, large hardback book filled with recipes and information about health and wellbeing
• Dishwasher safe: Everything except the blades and power base

Compared with the cheaper Nutribullet 600, the Pro 900 is said to create less aeration and therefore give a purer consistency. If that appeals, and you like the idea of more power behind the blades, this blender could be tempting.

Common Nutribullet questions answered

How do you use a Nutribullet?

Nutribullets' popularity is partly down to their simplicity. Entry-level models, such as the Nutribullet 600, have no buttons or programs. You simply pop the blending cup on the base and lock it down to blend.

Make sure you fill the jug as recommended in the instructions for best results, usually starting with the driest ingredients first and finishing with liquid. Avoid blending without liquid, unless you're using the milling blade. It's also important not to go above the maximum fill line. 

There are lots of recipes available, so it might be best to start with these and then adapt them to suit your tastes.

Using the Nutribullet pulse technique

If you want to make chunky salsas or chop onions, you can 'pulse' the blender instead of continuously blending. This means that not all the ingredients will be completely liquidised. To do this, simply push down and twist the cup, like before, but without locking it into position. This will allow you to blend for just a few seconds at a time until you get the desired effect.

Can you put ice in a Nutribullet?

Yes, a post on the Nutribullet blog explains that you can put ice in your blender if you're making a smoothie. However, ice should only take up about a quarter of the cup – don't overload your machine. Also, make sure the pieces you're using are no larger than 2cm cubed.

How do you clean a Nutribullet?

Cleaning a Nutribullet blender is simple: remove the blending cup from the base, then you can either wash it by hand or put it in the dishwasher (top shelf only). You'll need to handwash the lid, which houses the blades.

You can't wash the blender base, where the motor is. If this gets dirty, use a cloth and warm water to wipe it clean.

What is the Nutribullet milling blade used for?

Most Nutribullets work with two different blades: one for blending and one for milling. The blending blade, which Nutribullet calls the extractor blade, has four prongs. The milling blade has just two, which are flatter in design. 

The milling blade is designed to grind and chop hard, dry foods such as nuts, seeds, grains and herbs. It doesn't come as standard with the blender, so you'll need to buy it with a package if you want that option.

How much is a Nutribullet?

Nutribullets range from £30 to around £190 depending on the model, putting them in the mid to upper price range for a blender, although some super-premium blenders from brands such as Blendtec and Vitamix can cost more than £500.

Like other more expensive blenders, you tend to feel the difference in the build quality, and you'll get BPA-free plastic cups. The more you pay, the more you'll get in terms of additional accessories, power and capacity. But you won't necessarily get a better blender, as we've found that a higher price doesn't always equal smoother results.

Nutribullet vs Breville, Ninja and Sage

The Nutribullet has become a popular choice for smoothie fans, but there are plenty of rival options.

Competing brands such as Breville, Ninja and Sage sell mini blenders in the style of the original Nutribullet, as well as larger blenders with vacuum blending, which is claimed to keep ingredients fresher and make smoothies smoother. Others focus on quiet blending, or include attachments for other jobs, making them more like a mini food processor.

Nutribullet claims its blenders are more thorough than others at breaking down food, but we've found some rivals that got higher scores in our tough blending tests, as well as some excellent cheaper alternatives for less than £50.

Jug blenders, juicers, and soup makers

The popularity of mini blenders such as the Nutribullet has boomed over the past decade, but they won't be the best option for everyone. It's worth considering your needs before you buy, for example how much you want to make in one go, and whether you just want to make simple smoothies, or more elaborate creations.

There are several alternatives to consider: 

• Jug blenders can whip up smoothies, sauces, dips, crushed ice and more. Loaded from the top and operated using buttons on the base, they tend to have a larger capacity, so you can make a whole round of smoothies, rather than just one or two servings.
• Juicers extract the liquid from fruit and veg to make a fresh drink. They can be good if you want to squeeze in more veg such as carrots into your drinks, but you do lose the fibre.
• Soup makers have a heating element that cooks the food you blend in the jug. They're good for hands-off soup making, and many can make smoothies as well.
