Formulations designed for high-speed blenders like the NutriBullet or Ninja aim to create blended beverages. These often incorporate fruits, vegetables, liquids, and supplemental ingredients to produce a single-serving, nutrient-dense drink. Examples include combinations of berries, spinach, protein powder, and almond milk, or mixes of banana, mango, yogurt, and ice.
The appeal of these blended drinks lies in their convenience and potential contribution to a balanced diet. They offer a quick method for consuming a variety of nutrients, potentially supporting weight management, increased energy levels, and improved digestive health. The blending process breaks down cellular walls, theoretically enhancing nutrient absorption compared to consuming whole fruits and vegetables. Historically, the availability of affordable and powerful blenders has driven the popularity of this consumption method.
