Does the NutriBullet Blend Leafy Green Vegetables?

In order to get a good plan of leafy green vegetables in your NutriBullet, you are going to have to jump through a lot of hoops. Listed below are three ways that I know work pretty well for making green smoothies in the NutriBullet:

1. Blend Like Crazy when making green smoothies to blend up the vegetables into the smallest chunks possible. You will not get a perfectly smooth consistency from doing this, but your smoothie will end up coming out a whole lot easier to drink if you blend for 30 seconds to a minute versus only 15 seconds.
2. Use Baby Greens.  You absolutely do not want to use big leafy green vegetable leaves to make a smoothie with in the NutriBullet. Your leaves should be no bigger than the spinach leaves in the picture to the right. Most stores sell baby green mixtures at reasonable prices. Walmart sells like a mixed baby green mixture of 16 oz for $3.50.
3. Try out natural green powders. My personal favorite green superfood is Vitamineral Green. By only adding a tablespoon to my NutriBullet smoothie in the morning, I can make a healthy green smoothie without having to blend up actual greens. This is my favorite method with the NutriBullet since it can never quite get the perfect green smoothie consistency if I use actual leafy greens.

To sum this all up, it is definitely possible to make green smoothies in the NutriBullet. It will be quite a bit of work when compared to just making regular fruit smoothies though. Green powders like Vitamineral Green simplify things a great deal and should definitely be considered due to their ease and unique health benefits.
