After testing several blenders, the NutriBullet Pro stood out as the best at creating smooth, lump-free smoothies. It effectively blended a mix of banana, berries, ginger, and spinach, resulting in a drink with minimal fibers and no lumps. Although some spinach leaves required intermittent shaking to fully incorporate, this was a common issue across all blenders. In our tests, the NutriBullet also performed well in blending dates, leaving only a few small, pleasantly chewy pieces at the bottom of the cup, which didn’t obstruct the straw. In our recent 2022 tests, the NutriBullet Pro remained one of the top performers for creating date shakes. Moreover, it excelled in producing high-quality pesto with a consistent, slightly grainy texture that avoided becoming overly pasty. When it came to crushing ice, oat milk, and frozen bananas, the NutriBullet Pro demonstrated impressive performance. However, for frequent ice blending, the more powerful NutriBullet Pro 1000, recommended by the manufacturer for blending ice, may offer greater durability due to its stronger motor. In our initial tests, JuiceLand’s Matt Shook was notably impressed by the NutriBullet’s force and smooth results.
