Nutribullet and baby food

Top 10 Reasons why you want a Nutribullet for baby food

Say hello to a new dimension of baby food cooking. Here are my Top 10 reasons to bite the bullet, and invest in a Nutribullet (and surprise: I’m giving one away!)

My stick blender is one of my most trusted, loyal kitchen gadgets when it comes to cooking & preparing baby food. But as is the case with parenting in the 21st consumerism century , there’s always something bigger and better around the corner. And that’s how I came to discover the Nutribullet as a seriously nifty little tool for prepping and creating silky smooth baby purees.

I splurged on a Nutribullet without #babyjake even entering the purchase decision equation. I had visions of kick starting my days with a wheatgrass and kale juice, in an attempt to put a spring back in my step and regain my long lost longevity, while simultaneously losing endless kilos.

Turns out that wasn’t the plan… the thing was collecting dust at the back of the kitchen counter. And then it came to me: use the bullet to make #babyjake a smoothie. And just like that, my world was revolutionised. Say hello to a new dimension of baby food cooking.

So while a Nutribullet is not an essential tool for prepping baby food (at R2k, you’ll probably decide to stick to that R300 stick blender), it’s one of those wish list luxuries (right up there with isofix car seat bases & bottle warmers). By no means a crucial survival tool for parenting, but once you’re spoilt with its conveniences – you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

So if you’re considering biting the bullet and investing in a Nutribullet, here are my Top 10 Uses for Making Baby Food with the Nutribullet.

But first, what you need to know going in:

Two basic concepts: (1.) requires liquid and (2.) NO hot – or even warm – contents. Ever.

Before I get into the good stuff, here are the downsides:

Nutribullet cannot blend without liquid to assist it. And perfecting the art of the right amount of liquid is not as easy as it should be. You’ll probably fail the first few attempts and land up with pear juice instead of pear puree. Certain fruits (paw paw / banana etc) require less liquid. The same applies to steamed veggies/fruit. And sometimes you can get away with using yoghurt instead of water / milk. Bottom line: it will take a bit of trial and error to get it right. Start with 1-2 TBS of water and add a little at a time as needed. Practice makes perfect.
You’re supposed to be able to blend while retaining texture, but I’ve found that it’s close to impossible to pulse slowly – the motor is simply too powerful. But other moms say they manage just fine. Again, practice.
Don’t get the Baby Bullet – rather use the regular version (stronger motor + more longevity after baby is not a baby). Even though the Baby Bullet comes with nifty storage cups, I still vote regular bullet.
NEVER (ever, ever, ever) add hot liquid (or even warm contents) to your bullet. Steamed veg / fruit have to be properly cooled before blending. The pressure build up can be insanely dangerous if you don’t adhere to this golden rule.

Ok now that that’s out the way, here’s why I freaking LOVE it:

1. Grinding Nuts and Seeds

Game changer. The way the Nutribullet pulverises nuts and seeds into a fine powder is legitimately magical. And yes, you can use a coffee grinder or a pestle & mortar to grind your own nuts and seeds, but the ease of use of the Bullet makes it worth every cent, if for no other use than this one alone #truestory.

I am a big believer in adding superfoods like nuts and seeds to as many dishes as possible. Turn plain yoghurt into a superfood. Turn plain butternut puree into a superfood. Turn oats into a superfood.

I grind a whole variety of nuts and seeds each week using the grinding blade attachment (chia seeds, flax seeds, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, cashews etc), and store in the fridge in a tupperware. And then I just add a few spoonfuls of this superfood powder to #babyjake’s purees / yoghurt / oats.

Simply use the milling blade to grind nuts / seeds into your own ground powders. Make your own oat / quinoa / rice / almond cereal or flour. You can also add whole nuts to smoothies using the regular blade attachment, but this won’t grind the nuts as finely as when you use the milling blade. And you don’t want big pieces of nuts posing a choking hazard.

(Remember that it’s a total old-school misconception that babies can’t have nuts. When finely ground into a powder, thereby eliminating all choking hazards, nuts are so very beneficial for little growing bodies and brains. In fact, the latest research shows that early introduction of nuts from 6 months actually helps to prevent allergies. Babies need healthy fats – and nuts are the optimal source.)

2. Protein Date Balls

#babyjake’s all time best snack: date balls. There is no greater finger food snack for babies than these little balls of superfood goodness. But I blew the motor on my food processor when I first made them. And then I thought to make them in the Nutribullet – game changer. My freezer has a permanent stash of date balls. And so should yours 🙂

3. Green Eggs

Green eggs are my go-to emergency meal for #babyjake. When there’s nothing else in the fridge, and I can’t think of a single thing to feed him – he lands up with a plate of fluffy, scrambled green eggs. Plus I’m always looking for ways to sneak in dark leafy greens. So I keep a stash of chopped spinach in little ziplocks in my freezer. I pop 1 or 2 eggs into the Bullet (these serve as the liquid requirement). And a handful of the chopped frozen spinach. Give it a whizz. And scramble on the stove. You can also make quick and easy pancake / fritter batter in the bullet (I make these Spinach Fritters a couple times per week for #babyjake).

4. Hummus

Not something you would think to give your baby? Think again. Hummus is essentially just a fancy way of saying chickpea puree. And when made in the bullet, it’s as creamy as the store bought versions. It’s a fab source of protein & fibre for little tummies. Here’s my recipe for homemade baby friendly hummus.

5. Silky Smooth Purees

Ever wondered why home made baby food never looks and feels quite as silky smooth as the processed jars of Purity? Well, when you grind food with a motor as strong as a Nutribullet, you’ll reach a far smoother consistency than you could ever achieve with any other kitchen gadget. Fact.

6. Longevity beyond the Puree Stage

Tragically, babies don’t stay babies for long. And your kid won’t be eating pureed food for more than a couple months at most, so it seems utterly insane to splurge on a R2k gadget.

But here’s the amazing part: I only got my Nutribullet when #babyjake was a year old and purees were already a thing of the past (I bought it for myself, without even considering using it for him). So I’ve never even experienced the joys of Nutribulleting purees. And it’s still been the greatest asset to my kitchen for feeding #babyjake superfoods.

7. Smoothies

I grab a handful of whatever fruit I have available (banana, paw paw, strawberries etc). I add some frozen spinach from my freezer stash. Yoghurt or milk. Seeds and nuts. Some superfood powders (maca or acai powder- get at Dischem). Blitz and whizz.

Spoon feed it to baby
Let them drink it from a cup with a thick straw
Freeze in lolly moulds
Add to oats (this is how I make #babyjake’s daily superfood porridge)

Smoothies (especially when jam packed with hidden greens and superfoods) are an amazing healthy habit to get your kids into – whether 6 months or 6 years old. And believe it or not, kids actually love Green Smoothies. Especially when packaged as Monster Smoothies, Green Juice or Popeye Popsicles 🙂

Nutribullet’s greatest forte is undoubtedly it’s use as a smoothie maker.

8. Easy to Clean, Neat and Small

I have a pet hate for all things bulky and inconvenient (especially because my kitchen lacks counter space). And while a stick blender is as compact as you get, each time I had to lug out the big old blender, I could cry from frustration. Nutribullet is slick & sleek. And cleaning it is a dream.

9. Raw Purees

Because the Nutribullet motor can pulverise anything, you don’t need to necassarily cook everything you puree. The motor is strong enough to pulverize raw apple into apple sauce. So you can make a raw apple and berry puree. And it turns raw spinach into liquid 🙂 You may prefer to still steam stuff though because often the taste is enhanced through steaming, and steamed ingredients puree better with less additional liquid needed. But it’s great having the option of doing it all raw 🙂

10. Nutrient Extraction versus Blending

Ok so here is the main marketing positioning angle of the Nutribullet: Nutrient Extraction…

Nutrient Extraction is the mechanism the Nutribullet uses to convert whole vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and other superfoods into exceptional liquid fuel for your body. The Nutribullet breaks food down to its most absorbable state, releasing important vitamins and minerals contained within. More than juicing, more than blending, and more than chewing, Nutrient Extraction allows you to receive the highest degree of nutrition your food has to offer by delivering food to your body in an easily digestible, easily absorbable form.

Whether or not the claim of “Nutrient Extraction” is scientifically backed up or not (many say it is nothing more than a clever marketing campaign), the bottom line is that Nutribullet completely pulverises and liquifies everything and anything. The motor far surpasses that of a regular blender (I say this with confidence because I’ve gone through many blenders), and the Nutribullet result is an incredibly smooth liquid concoction. Perfect for the sensitive, tiny tummies of babies who’re just getting started on solids.

So what purees can you make in the Nutribullet? Here are some of the best Nutribullet recipes for baby…

I found these great puree ideas on the official Baby Bullet website (and they can all be made in a regular Nutribullet).
For all of these recipes, you just need to place all the ingredients in the Nutribullet and pulse until smooth. Remember getting the right ratio of liquid / texture takes some trial and error, so play around.
My Top Tip: I would add a spoon or two of your ground nut and seed mix to each of these – just to add a real superfood boost 🙂

A few things to consider:

If your child has a hereditary predisposition to allergies, suffers from eczema or is lactose intolerant (or any other complication for that matter), don’t follow my advice – rather stick to whatever your paed says.
I’m not a paediatric nutritionist. I’m just sharing what I have learnt. With that said however, #babyjake’s granny is a medical doctor; I have read loads of books written by the experts; chatted to fellow mommies and nurses, and have a fair amount of culinary finesse… so this is what’s worked for us.
I follow the school of thought that encourages the introduction of ALL food groups before the age of one (this includes all allergenic foods from peanuts and eggs, to fish). The only exception is raw honey. As for cow’s milk (by cow’s milk I am referring to the actual liquid, white milk from a carton), I give #babyjake full-cream dairy yogurt, cream cheese, cottage cheese, yellow cheese etc. You can also cook for your baby using full cream milk, just don’t replace their milk boob / bottle / formula feed with cow’s milk before the age of 1.
To be on the safe side, if you’re unsure of anything, please always (always) consult your paed, family doctor or nurse before taking my advice or trying any new foods on your baby.
Do not take my advice over that of a medical professional.

Blender or nutribullet - choose an assistant for your kitchen

For cooking, every housewife uses various devices to help, one of these is a blender. This kitchen appliance mixes, whips and grinds various foods, thereby speeding up the cooking process.

Stationary blender consists of a stand on which the bowl is placed, with knives located below. With the help of such a device, you can prepare cocktails, mousses, beat proteins, dough for pancakes and pancakes. The advantage of a stationary blender is the speed and lack of control over the cooking process. Products are loaded into the bowl, the "Start" button is pressed, in a few minutes everything is ready.

When choosing a stand blender, pay attention to the bowl material. Metal bowls are durable, do not break, withstand high temperatures, but small scratches may remain on the body. Glass bowls are environmentally friendly, do not spoil the taste of products, but are fragile in use. A container made of plastic is cheaper, but over time, the plastic turns yellow and absorbs various odors.

The shape of the knife in the blender jar affects the uniform grinding of the product. Manufacturers produce knives of various shapes - straight, with smooth blades or with teeth on the cutting side. The best option is a bowl with two knives, one knife in which has a curved shape.

The volume of the bowl is a key feature when choosing a stationary appliance. In different models, the volume varies from 0.4-2.0 liters. For a large family of 4, a volume of 2 liters is suitable.

The intensity of product grinding depends on the power of the device. The power range of devices on the market is from 300 to 2300 watts. The best option for the home, blender, with a power of 600 watts. Such a device easily grinds and mixes fruits and vegetables. For grinding solid foods - nuts, dried fruits, ice picks, you will need a more powerful device with an indicator of 700-1000 watts.

The number of speeds affects the functionality and speed of operation. In different models, there can be from 1 to 15 speeds. The best option is 3-5 speeds.

Blender Modes helps to assess the state of the product's grinding during preparation. The main ones are - pulse operation with short interruptions, to assess the quality of grinding and turbo mode - increase the speed for a short time, to speed up grinding and more quickly obtain a uniform mass of the product.

Additional functions: bowl self-cleaning function, overheating protection make use comfortable and safe.

Stationary blender advantages: Preparation of liquid dishes - soups, baby puree, cocktails, batter. Products during cooking are hermetically sealed - do not splash. Ability to cook large portions at a time. Does not require direct participation during cooking. A wide range of models with different bowl sizes.

Stationary blender cons: Does not grind hard foods like carrots, nuts, cheese. Increased noise level during operation. Takes up more space in the kitchen.

Nutribullet - is a blender - grinder or nutrient extractor, also called a fitness blender. The main difference from a stationary blender is the grinding of products with fibers, seeds, stems to preserve nutrients. Nutribullet breaks down the cell walls of fibrous plant foods, releasing the important vitamins and minerals they contain. It transforms healthy fibers, pulp, seeds and skins into a silky smooth texture, delivering nutrition to your body in an easily digestible form.

Nutribullet can be used to prepare vitamin smoothies and shakes, soups, baby food, creams, sorbets. The nutrients that are inside the products are better absorbed by the body, which means they improve the general condition, sleep, and mood.

The complete set of fitness blenders includes interchangeable containers that are hermetically sealed. They are convenient to store in the refrigerator, take with you to the office, the gym with a freshly prepared cocktail, soup.

Chopper power is a key feature for thorough grinding. Models of fitness blenders can have a power of 250 - 900 W, but a powerful device can grind thoroughly and get useful substances from products. Its power should be 600 - 900 W, for fast and high-quality grinding, with the extraction of useful substances - phytonutrients.

The body of the device can be made of plastic or metal. Plastic is the most common material for manufacturing, but more fragile and less durable. The metal case is reliable and more durable, but such a device weighs more, fingerprints may remain on the surface.

The device bowl is made of plastic or metal. New generation plastic Tritan, does not contain bisphenol-A harmful to the body, can be washed in a dishwasher. It is heat-resistant and transparent, which makes it comfortable to use.

The metal jug does not stain during cooking, for example, when mashing pumpkin, but does not allow you to control the state of grinding during operation.

Nutribullet knives are made of titanium coated stainless steel. Knife with four blades (for extraction), destroys the structure of the product, crushes the stems, seeds peel, thereby extracting useful substances. A flat knife with one blade ideally grinds dry products into powder - nuts, seeds, cereals.

The speed of the device is 20000 - 25000 rpm, with such indicators the best results are achieved.

Control type can be electromechanical or electronic. Using the buttons on the device body, the desired option is selected, the display shows the selected functions.

There is a wide range of Nutribullet-like fitness blenders on the market that work on the principle of extraction, the special nozzle of the device thoroughly grinds and releases the nutrients from the products, which will benefit your body.

Benefits of a nutribullet or a fitness blender: Grinds, grinds, grinds products with peel, stems, seeds, extracting useful substances inside. Easily grinds hard foods - nuts, seeds, hard cheese, crushes ice. With the help of nutribullet you can prepare vitamin cocktails and smoothies, sauces, pates, hummus, fine baby food.

It is indispensable for athletes, adherents of a healthy diet, pregnant women, young mothers.

Cons nutribullet or fitness blender: High cost compared to a stationary blender. You can choose the right fitness blender for a healthy lifestyle in our online store.

Nutribullet Blender – Another Kitchen Assistant

In the kitchen of a modern housewife, a large number of electronic assistants and stationary blenders are no exception. This versatile kitchen gadget is rarely idle: a good housewife always has a culinary task for this kitchen gadget - grind and mix ingredients until smooth to create favorite dishes for herself and for the children's table.

Why do housewives usually take the blender out of the cupboard?
- baby food - young mothers cannot cope without the help of blenders when introducing complementary foods into the baby's diet, because it simplifies the preparation of a menu for children who still find it difficult to chew food on their own;
- homemade sauces and mayonnaise - a blender allows you to bring all the ingredients to a homogeneous state, so the sauce is much thicker, richer and more tasty;
- cream soup is ideal for those who are tired of trivial soups and who are ready to experiment in the kitchen. By choosing the right nozzle, you will be able to cook a tender soup based on your favorite vegetables or cream;
- cocktails and smoothies - healthy lifestyle people who are already accustomed to starting the morning with a vitamin cocktail or a smoothie bowl of berries and fruits can not do without a blender, and it is worth noting that using blenders you can create a drink quickly - in less than a minute your breakfast will be ready.

In this article, I will tell you how to choose a universal stationary blender that will be a faithful helper for the whole family: it will please dad with cream soup, help mom make sauce for her favorite salad, please her eldest daughter with a delicious cocktail and will not leave her little brother hungry.

Nutribullet blenders, a brand specializing in kitchen units for thorough grinding and mixing of products, are gaining popularity in the domestic market. Specialization in a particular type of household appliances allows you to create unique blenders that meet all the needs of a modern housewife. Nutribullet professionals know exactly what they require from this kitchen device, so they equip them with everything necessary.

In order not to be unfounded, let's consider the basic requirements for blenders using the Nutribullet technique as an example:

BLENDER POWER

The more power, the more intensively and qualitatively the blender copes with the grinding of food. A universal power level for using a blender in the home can be 800-900 watts. Such a blender will simply perfectly cope with grinding any products: soft fruits, berries, nuts, meat and pieces of ice for your favorite refreshing cocktail.

BODY AND PITCH MATERIALS

Nutribullet stand blenders are made from heavy duty, high performance plastic. They are made of safe material that is resistant to low and high temperatures. This blender is dishwasher safe.

At the same time, of course, one cannot fail to note the stylish design of the appliances, which will become a real modern decoration of any kitchen, if you decide not to hide the blender in the closet, but put it in a prominent place on the kitchen set.

BLENDER SETTINGS

Each dish requires a certain intensity of mixing, so it is very important that the blender is equipped with several settings and speeds at once, which will allow you to more delicately or, on the contrary, quickly chop, beat or mix the products in a glass. For example, the best-selling Nutribullet Blender Combo features three speeds and a pulse function, allowing you to create a nourishing smoothie or creamy soup with just one press of a button in less than 60 seconds.

JAR (GLASS) CAPACITY

Based on the desired tasks that you plan to entrust to the new blender, it is important to consider the volume of the jug. For example, if the primary need is to grind ingredients for organizing baby food, then the Magic Bullet MBR03 model with a 600 ml cup is quite suitable, and if you plan to cook for the whole family or if each family member wants something different, we advise you to take a closer look at the Nutribullet model Blender Combo - it contains several jugs of different sizes at once.
