Equipment Needed

NutriBullet Smoothie Making Tools
NutriBullet Smoothie Making Tools

A standard blender is all that is required to make these NutriBullet smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.

If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend the higher-end full-sized NutriBullet Smart Touch 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 The Wintertime Warrior Smoothie

The Nutribullet Wintertime Warrior smoothie is very easy to make:

  • Step 1: Place avocado, banana, green apples, spinach, sweet potato, almond milk, cinnamon, hemp seeds, and vanilla whey protein powder into a 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.

Recipe Tips And Substitutions

For ease of use, we recommend peeling and slicing a number of bananas, putting them in a freezer bag, and storing them in your freezer for quick access.

If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.

Coconut milk or soy milk can be substituted for the almond milk and still keep this delicious smoothie dairy-free.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Are Nutribullet blenders easy to use?

Nutribullet blenders are designed for ease of use. With a compact design and simple mechanism, users typically just need to fill the blending cup with ingredients, twist on the blade attachment, and press or twist the cup onto the base to blend.

Why are sweet potatoes so good for you?

Sweet potatoes are highly nutritious and offer numerous health benefits, making them a valuable addition to a balanced diet. They are an excellent source of beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, essential for eye health, immune function, and skin integrity. Sweet potatoes are also high in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, beneficial for weight management. They provide other key nutrients, including vitamins C and B6, potassium, and manganese. The antioxidants in sweet potatoes, particularly the purple varieties, help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
