Power Base
The power base is the heart of your NutriBullet, housing the motor that drives the blades․ Always ensure the power base is placed on a stable, flat surface before use․ Avoid placing it on flammable materials such as newspapers or tablecloths․ The power base should never be immersed in water or any other liquid․

Step-by-Step Blending Instructions
Blending with your NutriBullet is easy! First, chop your ingredients into smaller pieces to help them fit into the cup․ Then, fill the cup with your desired ingredients, making sure not to exceed the “Max Fill” line․ Adding liquids first can sometimes help with the blending process, especially when using frozen fruits or vegetables․
Next, attach the extractor blade to the cup, ensuring it’s securely tightened․ Place the assembled cup and blade onto the power base, twisting to lock it into place․ Blend for the recommended time, usually around 20-30 seconds․ Once blended, twist to release and carefully remove the cup․
Preparing Ingredients
Properly preparing your ingredients is key to achieving the best results with your NutriBullet․ Start by washing all fruits and vegetables thoroughly․ Peel any fruits or vegetables with thick or inedible skins, such as oranges or avocados․ Chop larger fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces, about 1-2 inches in size, ensuring they fit easily into the cup․
Remove any pits or seeds from fruits like cherries or peaches․ Consider the order in which you add ingredients; softer items like spinach or berries can go in first, followed by harder items․ For optimal blending, ensure all ingredients are fresh and of good quality, enhancing both flavor and nutritional value․
Filling the Cup
When filling the NutriBullet cup, it’s essential to follow the maximum fill line to prevent leaks and ensure proper blending․ Begin by adding your dry ingredients, such as leafy greens or protein powder․ Next, incorporate your chopped fruits and vegetables, distributing them evenly in the cup․
Add liquids, like water, milk, or juice, last, ensuring they reach but do not exceed the maximum fill line․ Overfilling can strain the motor and lead to spills․ For best results, pack ingredients loosely, allowing space for the blade to circulate․ Avoid adding ice until after the initial blend, if desired, to prevent blade damage․
Attaching the Blade and Blending
After filling your NutriBullet cup, securely screw the extractor blade onto the top, ensuring a tight seal to prevent leaks․ Invert the cup and carefully place it onto the power base, aligning the tabs for a proper fit․ Gently press down and twist the cup clockwise to lock it into place and activate the blending process․
Allow the NutriBullet to blend for the recommended time, typically 20-30 seconds, depending on the desired consistency․ Once blending is complete, twist the cup counterclockwise to release it from the base․ Remove the blade assembly carefully and enjoy your freshly blended creation! Remember to never remove the cup or lid until the blade has completely stopped․
Operating the NutriBullet Pro 1200
The NutriBullet Pro 1200 offers enhanced power and features․ After assembling your ingredients in the cup and attaching the extractor blade, place the cup onto the Pro 1200 power base․ Twist and lock it securely․ The Pro 1200 automatically starts blending once locked․ For hands-free operation, let it run its cycle․
To stop blending before the cycle ends, simply unlock the cup․ Experiment with blending times to achieve your preferred texture․ Remember, the Pro 1200’s powerful motor might require shorter blending durations․ Always ensure the blade has completely stopped before removing the cup․ Explore recipe options for personalized creations․ Enjoy the enhanced blending experience!
