The order of ingredients: a key factor
The blending order recommended by Nutribullet is as follows:
- Liquids first (water, plant-based milk, juice…) to help with smooth blending.
- Leafy greens (spinach, kale…) for even distribution.
- Fruits and vegetables to achieve the right consistency.
- Seeds, nuts, superfoods (chia, almonds, cacao, protein powder…).
- Ice or frozen ingredients for a refreshing effect.
Respecting this order helps you get a perfectly blended smoothie, without lumps or poorly crushed bits.
Blending without altering nutrients: tips for optimal smoothies
The importance of proper blending
A blending process that’s too long or too powerful can heat up your ingredients and reduce certain heat-sensitive nutrients, like vitamin C and antioxidants. To avoid this:
✔️ Blend in short bursts (20–30 seconds), especially with delicate ingredients like spinach or berries.
✔️ Use a suitable blender, such as the Nutribullet 900, which delivers a smooth texture without overheating the ingredients.
Tip: If your smoothie gets slightly warm, add a few ice cubes or use frozen fruits to keep it cool.
Don’t overlook blending speed
Using a medium to high speed is ideal for a creamy result.
However, it's best to avoid prolonged blending, as it can lead to excess oxidation. Blending for 30 to 60 seconds is usually enough to achieve the perfect texture.
Good to know: Some high-end blenders have a “pulse” function that alternates speeds, allowing for optimal blending without overheating the ingredients.
Blend and consume quickly
Once your smoothie is ready, it's best to drink it right away to get the full benefits.
Oxygen can gradually break down certain vitamins and reduce the nutritional quality of your drink.
If you need to store it:
✔️ Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge.
✔️ Drink it within 24 hours.
Tip: Add a splash of lemon juice to slow down oxidation and keep your smoothie looking fresh and vibrant!
