The Nutribullet range

Some of these come as McLaren F1 Team editions in the team’s colours. Compare Nutribullet with other blenders and food processors on our food prep page.

How a personal blender works

Instead of a jug, a personal blender blends straight in the cup you drink from. Load your ingredients, add liquid, twist on the blade, then press the cup onto the base and twist to blend. When it’s smooth, swap the blade for a flip-top lid and take it with you. There’s less to wash than a jug blender, and each drink is made in one portion.

Choosing power and size

Motor power, in watts, makes the biggest difference. A 600-watt blender handles soft fruit, yoghurt and ice well. More power breaks down fibrous greens, nuts and seeds more finely, so you get a smoother drink with fewer bits. Cup size matters too: check the cup capacities on the product page, as larger cups suit bigger appetites or sharing.

Kits are named by the number of pieces in the box, which counts the cups, lids and blades. A bigger kit gives you more cups and lids, so you can make one drink while another is in the fridge.

Portable blenders

Portable Nutribullet blenders run on a built-in rechargeable battery, so there’s no base to carry. The cup detaches once your drink is ready, and the lid is leakproof, so you can sip on the move. The product page shows how many blends you get from a full charge. They are made for single drinks, so they are less powerful than a mains blender.

Before you buy

• Think about what you’ll make. For smoothies and shakes, choose by power. For dips, sauces and chopping as well, the magic bullet’s cross blade and small cups are the better fit.
• Check the height. With a cup fitted, a personal blender stands taller than it looks in photos. Measure the gap under your wall cupboards if it will live on the worktop.
• Count the cups. If more than one person in the house will use it, a larger kit means fewer cups to wash between drinks.
• Plan the charging. Portable blenders charge by cable, so keep a charger at work or in your gym bag if you’ll blend away from home.

Looking after your blender

• Rinse straight after use. It stops ingredients drying on the blade.
• Check what can go in the dishwasher. The instructions say which cups, lids and blades are dishwasher safe. The motor base never is: wipe it with a damp cloth.
• Let hot food cool first. Don’t blend hot ingredients in a sealed cup, as the instructions advise.
• Don’t overfill. Keep below the max line on the cup and add enough liquid to help the blade turn.
