nutri bullet/magic bullet? which model?

[Anonymous]

I'm inspired by the green smoothie thread. I like juicing but hate cleaning the juicer. What's the difference between the difference between magic bullet & nutri bullet? Is this model from Macy's a good one? I want to make green smoothies with carrot, kale, and ginger. Thanks!

We have the nutribullet. It is not working so well after about 2 months of use.

I just bought a NutriBullet, but have not had the time to take it out of the box yet. I think it is the same one you linked to. But what I learned from the interwebs when researching my purchase:

NutriBullet is made by the same company, but has a much more powerful motor. Might have a different blade, too. If you don't mind pulp, seeds, etc, the Magic Bullet is probably fine. If you can't stand pulp and want to be able to add almonds, flax seeds, etc, and still get a smooth drink, you want the NutriBullet. With enough time and patience, our blender can do this, but it has more pieces to take apart and clean, and takes a while to get things really smooth.

The difference between a juicer and a Bullet is that the bullet leaves everything in, whereas a juicer separates the juice from the fiber.

Anyone use a Ninja? My company bought them for a raffle as they were a fraction of the Nutri and Vitamin type mixers.

Love the nutribullet and would recommend it for the smoothie you want to make. I make green smoothies about 5 times a week, while kids make fruit smoothies almost daily. Going great at 10 months.
