Old Croc Jul 2015 11:43am, 8 Jul 2015 25,994 posts	0 Old Croc I mentioned my nutribullet in blog and got a few comments / messages so thought would start a thread to discuss. The machine, pros and cons, recipe ideas, tips, do's & don'ts etc. Anyone else got one? Anyone thinking of getting one? Discuss.

Joopsy Jul 2015 12:12pm, 8 Jul 2015 7,622 posts	0 Joopsy I have just got a cheap Breville one that cost about £25 but it has revolutionised my breakfast eating. I make a smoothie everynight using Soya or Almond milk plus a banana and whatever ripe fruit we have in. I stick it in the fridge overnight and then eat it first thing, it is great to get something in me before running without having to mess about making stuff. I have also become very adept at buying up cheap very ripe fruit from supermarkets and using them immediately in smoothies.
Old Croc Jul 2015 12:15pm, 8 Jul 2015 25,997 posts	0 Old Croc I use mine daily for a breakfast - 3 spoonfuls of porridge oats, a banana and some fruit (frozen strawberries or frozen mixed fruit). Bags of frozen fruit handy so can add just a handful at a time. Top up with water or milk.
.B. Jul 2015 12:55pm, 8 Jul 2015 17,618 posts	0 .B. I often use mine for a breakfast smoothie, usually banana, frozen berries and almond milk. Veg smithies are good with a bit of ginger or chilli added. My current favourite post long run smoothie is banana, milk and peanut butter

Duchess Jul 2015 1:27pm, 8 Jul 2015 5,938 posts	0 Duchess Bought one about two months ago and use it daily. For the first time in my adult life, breakfast now consists of more than a black coffee. Kale, carrot, mango and strawberries with a scattering of mixed nuts. It helps that my fridge has turned into a blast chiller and is deep freezing everything within it (including said strawberries and carrot). Trying not to use milk/yoghurt in mine, but a scoop of ice-cream is a weekend treat (I heartily recommend peanut butter ice-cream, peanut butter on its own is also excellent).
jennywren Jul 2015 1:33pm, 8 Jul 2015 11,032 posts	0 jennywren I've got the same one as Joopsy (couldn't afford the nutribullet) and it's brilliant. I too have a smoothie for breakfast now (I put a bit of oatmeal in it and some yoghurt, plus almond or soya milk, a banana and some soft fruit. Frozen berries are also good and will come into their own later on, when the raspberry and strawberry season is over).
