Ninja Blenders are a line of very well engineered professional blenders that have become extremely popular among home smoothie and juice making aficionados. Unlike typical juicers, Ninja Professional Blenders, such as the Ninja Mega Kitchen System, allow you to blend whole fruits & vegetables into delicious & healthy drinks without leaving behind the pulp. This is important as the pulp and fiber are generally the healthiest part of any smoothie and pack the most nutrients.
Ninja Blenders allow you to simply place your favorite fruits & vegetables whole into the blender with the need for peeling or further preparation. This creates delicious juices that include the nutritious fiber. Nothing is removed and nothing is wasted.
Ninja Kitchen Products recommends the smoothie recipes listed below to increase vitality and get your juices flowing. For speciality ingredients not typically found at your neighborhood grocery, we have included links to suggested products for your convenience. However, we recommend that you purchase as much fresh local produce as is available in your area … blend on!
Everything You Need
Equipment Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make Ninja Blender smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using any one of the many available Ninja Single Serve Blenders as they are quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Ninja Blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.
How To Make Ninja Blender Smoothies
Ninja Blender smoothies are very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place ingredients into a Ninja Blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

- 1 cup vanilla nonfat frozen yogurt
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 cup ice
- 1 scoop Collagen Boost, optional
Instructions
- Place oranges, red grapefruit, orange juice, vanilla nonfat frozen yogurt, powdered sugar, and ice into a Ninja Blender and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.

Ninja Blender Frequently Asked Questions
Cleaning a Ninja Blender effectively and safely involves a few simple steps. Begin by unplugging the appliance. Then remove the lid and detach the blade assembly, if possible. Wash these components with warm soapy water or place them on the top rack of your dishwasher, if they are dishwasher-safe (refer to your model’s user manual to confirm). For the motor base, use a damp cloth to wipe it down but never submerge it in water or any other liquid. To clean the inside of the blender jar, fill it halfway with warm water, add a few drops of dish soap, and pulse for several seconds. After this, thoroughly rinse and let all the parts dry before reassembling.
The warranty period for Ninja Blenders can vary depending on the specific model and location of purchase. Generally, Ninja offers a 1-year limited warranty from the date of purchase for its products, covering any defects in material or workmanship. However, they also offer extended warranties for some models, which may cover your blender for up to 5 years. It’s important to register your product on their website and keep your receipt for any potential warranty claims. Always check the specific warranty terms for your blender model and location to ensure accurate information.
