With all the pressures of work and a hectic home and social life, it can be hard to eat healthy, and even more so to get more fruit and vegetables into your diet.
This is where the Nutri Ninja BL450UK steps in, as it offers you a way to pack more vitamins and minerals into your diet by making drinkable smoothies with less hassle.
The Nutri Ninja promises to blend all of your chosen fruit and vegetable, including those bits that you can't use in a juicer. It means more fibre, vitamins and minerals in every sip.
Nutri Ninja Design
The Ninja has quite a small footprint and looks tiny and compact, like a little ninja waiting in the shadows to shred all manner of fruits and veg into pieces! It will easily hide under most cupboards even with the cup on it.
There are 2 cups included: 500ml or 650ml, 2 resealable lids and a single extractor blade. There is a handy recipe book so you can experiment with new flavours and different ideas if you need any inspiration. Don't forget to add water to each blend as its not really made for dry blending.
A big selling point is that the only parts you need to clean are the blade, cup and lid, which is helpful and means you don't have to spend too much time on cleaning. Although everything is dishwasher safe, do remember that the included cups are not microwave safe.
Using the Ninja BL450
The BL450UK is extremely easy to use, there are no buttons for a start. Once you've filled the cup, and put the lid, all you have to do is put the cup into the base, turn it clockwise and push down, this automatically starts the blending at a speed of 21,000rpm - super easy! You have to keep it pressed down to keep the 900w motor running, and once you take the pressure off - the Ninja knows it's time to stop. If you keep taking the pressure off and re-applying it - you get a pulsing motion.
If the Ninja gets too warm it will stop itself from overheating. I found that normally by around 45 seconds or so, there is something ready to drink if you're using easy blendable ingredients like bananas, berries, spinach that sort of things. However, it was obvious that the longer you blended your recipe the smoother it was - too little blending time meant small noticeable chunks! Some fruits and vegetables will take longer to blend.
This is not a quiet Ninja by any standards like the name suggests, it is loud and makes some noise whilst it's working!
Summary
The Nutri Ninja is small and easy to use. If you want a starter to blender to get you going with all those healthy recipes you have then it's just right. It can be used for desserts, soups, dips, dressings, marinades and even meals so it does offer you a range of uses too.
