I'm still trying to learn to like vegetables more. I've made some good progress considering the fact that I rarely ate vegetables at all up until a year ago. But I know I need more vegetables than I'm currently getting. So I thought adding a fruit and veggie smoothie to my day might be a good idea.
The blender I had before was pretty good, but when I tried to make a veggie smoothie with it there were alot of pieces left behind. I basically felt like I was chewing the smoothie. For awhile I thought about getting the Nutribullet but based on the reviews it seemed like they break within a year. So I opted to spend a little extra and get the Ninja Pro
I just used it for the first time and I like it so far! It's easy to use and has either the option shown, or the single serve option. There are 2 cups with travel lids for the single serving.
The first smoothie I made was a strawberry, banana, cucumber, kale, spinach, and almond milk smoothie. The consistency was really good, even with the kale in there. A few bits here and there but it wasn't chewy like it was with my old blender. You can tell there's definitely some power behind this thing when it runs. It turned out ok taste wise, there was definitely a strong taste of almonds and grass...lol. But it was drinkable, and I have all the time in the world to play with recipes until I find some I really like. Here's a picture of the one I made tonight ...
Looks kinda gross, lol. Doesn't really have the typical "green smoothie" look *ahem*Photoshop!*cough* But it wasn't really that bad tasting. Can't wait to experiment with this thing some more
I really do feel like shit today. I'm just getting over my cold, and for some reason whenever I am sick my whole pallet for food changes and I just want to eat nothing but junk food, which is the exact opposite of what I should be doing. So here's to getting my diet back on track, cause I'm sick of eating crap! Literally
