Pros:
Blend quickly and efficiently with the NutriBullet. A lack of time should never be an excuse for not making a smoothie when you own the NutriBullet. Making a smoothie out of fresh fruits and vegetables is as simple as adding fruit, ice, and water to the blending cup and pulsing the blender. Total time to make a smoothie can very easily be under five minutes. Once the smoothie is made, take the blending cup with you and drink from it. Nothing could be easier.
Fruit smoothies taste great and come out well blended. With 600 Watts of power, the NutriBullet can handle fruit blending jobs with ease. Throw in a banana or two, some strawberries, ice cubes, and a bit of water. You will get a perfectly blended smoothie with no chunks left in it after blending. Be sure to break fruits into smaller pieces before adding them to the NutriBullet. You will run into problems if you add too large of pieces to the blender. Simply break your bananas into fourths, cut apples into quarters, and prepare all of your fruit into sizes that would be appropriate for 'finger foods' serving size.
Health benefits of blending are too good to pass up. Almost all Americans are woefully inadequate when it comes to consuming the recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables. For many, the problem lies in the fact that they do not have the time nor the knowledge to prepare dishes of fruits and vegetables. Smoothies recipes with the NutriBullet correct this problem so easily. Drink as many smoothies as you want in a day. You should build your diet around staple grains, but smoothies are a great addition in order to get those antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins.
Cleanup is a breeze. Rinse out the blending cup and run the blending blades under warm soapy water after every blending. Throw the two components in the dishwasher and you are done. There is no bulky blender to deal with that is practically impossible to clean at the bottom of the container. The NutriBullet is as easy a cleanup as any cup in your house is.
Cons:
Be aware of the lifespan and durability of the NutriBullet NBR-12
. The NutriBullet is truly not made with the idea that it can withstand daily use. Many people out there want to use the NutriBullet as a be-all and end-all appliance for their blending purposes. What many fail to realize is the NutriBullet is designed for people that blend once or twice a week at most. Any blender that runs in the range of $100 or less is not designed for the smoothie fanatics of the world that blend 365 days of the year. For that you need a Vitamix, not a NutriBullet.

Do not expect to blend leafy greens or carrots in smoothies. This blender only has 600 Watts of power, it is not going to liquify 100% of the most fiber rich vegetables thrown at it. If you attempt to blend leafy greens, you will be left with little chunks that are unpleasant to drink. Do not blend carrots for drink consumption! Carrots will come out super chunky and will likely cause you to choke. In order to drink green smoothies, I recommend using Vitamineral Green with the blender as this green powder will provide almost all the nutrient benefits of greens, but easily assimilates into the drink.

The NutriBullet NBR-12 is a good purchase for anyone wanting to spend less than $100 on a blender. I truly do not feel this machine is made for the most serious of smoothie drinkers in the world. For anyone looking for a blender to use a couple of times a week, I think the NutriBullet is a decent choice to make as it gets the job done at one low price.
