NutriBullet Special Edition NutriBullet Pro 900 &#

Restarting my fitness journey at age 49 (30 year rest between sets)
The NutriBullet Pro 900 is powerful enough for my needs – supplementing my diet with “high quality” protein smoothies. I quote “high quality” because that’s largely subjective.All in all, as my rating suggests, this was a great way to spend money.TL;DRAfter a few weeks of using the blender 1-2 times per day, I have observed the following:1. The 3 cup setup, 2 24oz and 1 32oz, with corresponding lids is very convenient. I can blend in the larger cup, distribute to the smaller cups, add more liquid, re-blend, and I now have a morning smoothie and one for later when I get home from the gym.2. The cups and the blender all have rubber gaskets and sometimes the grainy elements of the smoothie (seeds or very granular powder) make the seals ineffective. This just requires an awareness and testing the cups over the sink prior to testing over your white button up.3. I could use a little more space. This is my fault; I don’t have my recipes refined. But a part of me wishes I just went all in from the get go and bought a Vitamix for life. I didn’t realize how useful this would be or how much I would be using it.4. I like to cram a lot of fresh spinach in the 32oz cup for my smoothies. I start with a half cup of frozen berries and enough liquid (milk, almond milk, water) to cover them, then I blend that down to pulverize all the crunchy little seeds, then I pack in the spinach. The blender has a tough time grabbing all the spinach. I believe the directions say to only blend in 1 minute increments with a 3 minute break in between, to manage heat most likely, and it oftentimes takes a while for me to knock the spinach around and try a few iterations to get the job done.5. It is very easy to clean up. A couple inches of water in the bottom of my dish pan with some soap, a sponge, and the cups, lids, and blades are quickly cleaned up and drying for next use. I cannot emphasize the significance of how easy it is to clean. It’s a non issue. The base unit merely needs a wet cloth wipe occasionally also. (Unplug it first, please.)For reference, I am blending the following ingredients to support my workout (and wish I had a bit more space):Frozen berries, milk, spinach, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, oats, flaxseed, chia seeds, protein powder, creatine, honey. When I distribute from the 32oz cup to the 24oz cups, I add enough water to get them to the “max” line and each gets a quick blend.–I’ve been using the blender every day for 7 months now. My rating stays the same – it is incredibly powerful and useful, but the space limits are still challenging. I blend a total of 6 times to get my 2 daily smoothies made and the complete process takes me about 20 minutes.I have encountered 1 flaw which I am certain is my own fault. The 3 lids have small clips on them that latch when you close the opening. 2 out of 3 of my lids have lost the clip – the small plastic tab has broken off. This isn’t too much of a problem for me because I’m not traveling with the cups. I think I have been a little too casual when I wash the lids and drop them in the sink to be rinsed. I think if I had an awareness of the clips having the potential to break off I might have been able to save them.

Surprise gift
My daughter loves it. Works great and stores easy. The package was beat up when it arrived but everything was good
