- I hope you enjoy some delicious & healthful creations. It can truly be a nice helper in that regard.
EAR PROTECTION FIRST, though.
Be sure to wear decibel rated ear MUFFS every time you run this, even if just for a moment. THIS is so very important, I simply cannot stress that enough.
I have a couple different ones - one stays right with my BLENDTEC (similar to a VitaMix - both are very very loud)
NOISE CANCELLATION headphones will NOT be enough with such machines. the dB rated MUFFS like used with lawn equipment are best.
If you don't have those, do not use this until you do. Ear plugs don't offer the same level of protection but if there is a low speed and you are working with soft foods, good quality new decibel rated ear plugs may help.
You can get professional decibel rated MUFFS at lawn care shops / departments.
This goes for everyone within ear shot when this is being run.
Especially for those on ototoxic drugs (hundreds of them, and many if not most that address lyme may be ototoxic) it is more important than ever -- along with liver / kidney support that MAY help protect ears during treatment.
What I meant to say, before that point is that when on any ototoxic drug or OTC product, hearing can be more easily damaged even as lower decibel levels.
90 (ninety) seconds at 85-dB can cause damage for a regular person in a regular circumstance. For those on any ototoxic agent -- or who may have an infection of a toxic nature (lyme) . . . hearing can be damaged at lower dB and shorter times.
And this extra susceptibility can last for months after stopping the ototoxic agent.
For reference: a typical in home hairdryer is 100 dB. That can cause hearing damage for anyone - it just might not show up for years, or decades.
But, for those with lyme and those on ototoxic Rx / OTC, this could happen sooner and might not be limited to the hearing function of the ears.
Our ears are instrumental in balance, reading, talking, walking, thinking, vision, etc.
For all noise makers in your home or out of doors, be sure to wear hearing protection.

- Whatever you do, it's always nice to include a little GINGER ROOT, and bit of tart green apple. But not too late in the day as it can be a little stimulating.
I also like red cabbage, a bit of beet root. With a dash of ground coriander & sea salt.
If you use celery (which is a fantastic nutrient source and stretches any juice you make), be sure to pull off most of the strings, even for a high powered wonder, those strings can get caught up.
The white stalks of BOK CHOY are also very good as a stretcher. The (younger) greens are less dense than most kale so easier for the machine. -

Hubby likes a blend of veggies, spinach, carrot, celery, cabbage, mushroom, chia or flax seeds and for liquid, water, milk, or chicken broth.
If he wants a fruity one, we use blue berries or strawberries, yogurt, chia or flax seed, and milk.
For breakfast we add some oatmeal to the fruity one.

- oatmeal - Not cooked, generally.
Although if to be consumed right then and there, cooked oatmeal could be used. Not too hot, though. You just don't want left over oatmeal used in a drink to then go into a large amount that may not be consumed soon enough.
I don't think it's ever a good idea to put hot stuff in any plastic blender. -

Hubby prefers it cooked. I put the extra in a container in the fridge to use later. It gets rather grainy if its raw.
I put the cold milk and other stuff in the nutribullet first. The hot oatmeal last. By the time its blended its cool. It has very little time to touch the plastic sides.

I've added dry oatmeal to smoothies. Very simple!

- MannaMe,
Thanks for those two good tips. I have always hated the grainy texture of raw oats in a drink and now know how to avoid that.
Good point about adding any bits of hot / warm food in last so that the total mix cools it down. -

Lymetoo, we have rolled oats and it's harder to get them as fine as regular oatmeal when raw.
Your welcome Keebler, hubby hates the gluey consistency of oatmeal and blending it up in a smoothie hides all that!

I have a simple one for breakfast.. Protein powder, ground flax seed, frozen blueberries, or any fruit, ice and water.. I don't do milk. If I use it in the evening I use the powder, veggies usually kale, cucumber,carrot and an apple, also at times some almonds or whatever you have, flax seed with ice and a tad of water. You get use to the taste after awhile. I like the breakfast one and often use it at night too.

One is coconut milk/almond milk, then coconut oil and strawberries and blueberries, ice cubes, plain yogurt if it is for a meal, then my flax oil.
Second is avocado and kale. Usually blueberries and plain yogurt to take the bitterness out. If your diet allows bananas, that works too.
