The Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ Difference
If you are like me you probably strive to eat healthy and love smoothies, but the work involved in preparing them is an enormous pitfall. Or the healthy concoction comes out with that repulsive chunky pulp and yucky foam on the top that sets off the gag reflex. Avoid the sludge and get a Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ! The Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ resolves those problems by taking the guess work out of making yummy smoothies with its one-touch Intelligent Controls that deliver powerful nutrient and vitamin extraction, producing consistently smooth results at the touch of a button.
My teen daughter loves smoothies every morning for breakfast. However, my old blender just could not handle breaking down the ingredients enough to give a smooth consistency. The smoothie would come out watery with chunks of fruit and bits of veggies floating around in it. To put it mildly, the healthy drink was disgusting and was far from being well blended and smooth. It reminded me of the non-alcoholic grog bowls they use to make the officers drink as a form of punishment for not following the proper etiquette during the formal military ceremonies. Absolutely revolting! So, during Christmas I purchased her a Nutri Ninja Pro.Ninja Pro Extractor Blades quickly break down the ingredients such asice, seeds, skins and stems for a smooth, even consistency. The blender is extremely powerful, simple to clean and use and she loves it!
When I was offered to review the Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ I jumped at the chance even though I already had the Nutri Ninja Pro. Why? The difference between the two blenders is that the Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ is equipped with a 1000 Watt motor (Nutri Ninja Pro has 900 Watts), features intelligent one-touch blending programs with digital LED timer, and comes with three Nutri Ninja Cups with Sip & Seal lids instead of just the two on the go containers. The larger Jumbo Multi Serve 32oz cup is great for making soups and desserts for feeding more than one person. Both of the blenders come with the same powerful Nutri Ninja Pro Extractor Blades and ultimately deliver the same great results. Nevertheless, the Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ is a bit more powerful and you don’t have to stand there holding down the cup while it blends and pulsates. The Auto-iQ Technology does the work for you and you can walk around and accomplish other tasks while your smoothie is being made. All you have to do is press a button and it’s done. Basically, it is just a matter of preference. I happen to prefer the Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ, although the Nutri Ninja Pro does the job just as well if you don’t mind standing there while it blends.
Multi-purpose appliance
The Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ is fantastic for creating delicious beverages and soups, but is also fabulous for other recipe uses including grinding meats, chopping herbs, emulsifying dips and mixing cake batters. The powerful product is definitely a wonderful multi-purpose appliance to have on your kitchen counter top!
Nutri Ninja 101 for Best Results!
If you have a Nutri Ninja and not getting desired results when creating your customized recipes, it is most likely due to not layering your ingredients in the container correctly. Yes, there is a suggested system! Don’t just pile your foods in there! First add your veggies, then fruit, next liquid, and lastly the ice! Or when following a recipe, add ingredients in the order they appear for smooth and delicious drinks!
Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ includes:
1000 Watt Motor Base with Auto-iQ Technology
Small 18 oz cup

Jumbo Multi-serve 32 oz cup
