Today's Doodle Of The Day prompt was "household item." Many things came into mind, like lamps, toaster, couch, but by far, my favorite household item is the NutriBullet!
In 2010 I purchased a GNC personal blender – BEST $20 investment I made up until then. I used it an average of 3 times a week and it still works great. It did a great job with bananas, berries and spinach, but didn't work so well with nuts, celery and most veggies. I would usually end up chewing some of the ingredients in my smoothie, which I didn't mind.
Then, last Christmas I received a NutriBullet and there's no turning back!
Why I love my NutriBullet
- More"chopping power" than my personal blender. The NutriBullet, leaves you with a drink that is smooth and more consistent in texture, regardless of the ingredients. Your drink won't be as thin as what comes out of a juicer, it will be a bit thicker, but not clumpy, as what would come out of a blender. If you like your drink to be thinner, just add more water or milk. I use coconut or almond milk in my smoothies sometimes.
- Quick Cleanup: One of things that turned me off about my Jack Lalanne juicer, was that it would take up to an hour to get a couple of glasses of juice. By the time you cut up your ingredients, juice, and clean the darn thing, a whole 45 minutes to an hour had gone by. With my NutriBullet, I can get a nutritious meal (or snack) AND cleanup all done in 5-10 minutes. Can't beat that!
- Clean up only takes about 2 minutes! I simply rinse and add a bit of water to the empty cup, add drop of soap, put on the blade and blend for a few seconds. Then remove the cup and blade, rinse with warm water, and you're done!
- It makes it so much easier to incorporate a variety fruits and veggies into your diet.
- I waste less produce, which saves me lots of money! If I see my bananas are getting too ripe, or spinach is starting to wilt, I freeze them (or any other fruits/veggies before they go bad) in small sandwich bags. Then, when I'm ready to use them, I simply pull them from the freezer. I get a nice cold smoothie every time, without having to add ice cubes.
- It helps me maintain my weight. Instead of snacking on chips or cookies, I make a smoothie. Less calories and much healthier.
- I feel healthier and more energized.
These are just a few reasons. If you're considering buying one, I say do it! Just be careful not to fill over the max line or it might leak. It's common sense, though. You need to leave a bit of room in there for everything to move around and mix. I've had mine for almost a year, and I've only made it leak 2 times. Both times it was my fault for overfilling the cup.

I'm so sorry Emina, I wouldn't know where you can get one in Paris. I bought mine at Bed Bath and Beyond here in the U.S. Amazon or Ebay would be the other places I would check online. Good luck with your search.
