ktgrok Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) My husband as a personal sized Oster one, I think it's called my oster, but it doesn't handle greens well...you get lots of green bits that didn't get chopped up enough. I want one that will help me get some more greens in, that won't break the bank in case I don't use it much beyond this pregnancy. (last pregnancy was a juicer....I don't think I've used it since then.) So not looking to get a vitamin, for instance. Any ideas? Edited August 16, 2016 by ktgrok Quote
Guest Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 the nutritionist at our health club is always after us to put spinach in smoothies, and she recommends the NutriBullet. I got one for about $55. I haven't used it for spinach in smoothies yet, but I did make some very garlicky hummus in it, and it was pretty durn good...and I did finally discover the definition of "too much garlic." Yikes.

ktgrok Posted August 15, 2016 Author Posted August 15, 2016 Thank you! I thought they were a lot more expensive, but it seems that is for the fancier versions. The regular 8 piece can be bought, refurbished, for about $60 I am finding. That might be a good option. Veggies aren't my favorite this pregnancy, and my midwife is on me to get more plant foods in.

The 8 piece was what we got. It is perfectly adequate for one or two people. If I'm making hummus for a potluck, I'll dig out the food processor. :0) Good luck with the veggie acquisition. Quote
Alessandra Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) I got this one for $79 http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/magic-bullet-reg-nutribullet-reg/3243657?Keyword=Nutribullet And used a 20% off coupon. Greens are totally pulverized into liquid. My supermarket sells big bags of juicing greens -- spinach and kale -- at a reasonable price. I got rid of my old Oster, no longer need it.

ktgrok Posted August 16, 2016 Author Posted August 16, 2016 Awesome, I bet I do have a 20% off coupon, and that means I could buy new, and get it tomorrow. Plus, they are good about returns if it sucks. Quote
J-rap Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 I love my NutriBullet. I have this one, but I never use the extra pieces. At Christmas last year I noticed Macy's was selling the same NutriBullet without all the extra pieces for $20 less. I don't know if that was just a Christmas special or not. https://www.amazon.com/Bullet-NutriBullet-12-Piece-High-Speed-Blender/dp/B007TIE0GQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1471306990&sr=1-1&keywords=Magic+Bullet+NutriBullet+12-Piece+High-Speed+Blender%2FMixer+System Quote
ktgrok Posted August 16, 2016 Author Posted August 16, 2016 So, I got one! Couldn't find an in store coupon for BB&B, so I ordered from amazon. I have Prime Now available, so was able to get it this morning :) They had the Pro version, with the stronger motor, refurbished for the price of a new, less powerful one, so I went with that. Just made a smoothie with spinach, carrots, berries, yogurt, almond milk, and some protein powder and not only do I like it, but the kids loved it and drank all theirs!!! Even the toddler! 1 Quote
