A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS, HINTS AND TIPS
• Do not use the appliance to blend hot liquid or food as pressure may build up inside
the cup. Allow hot food and liquids to cool to room temperature before blending.
• The nutriSHOT
®
is not suitable for processing very hard foods, e.g. hard spices.
This will damage the blade and motor.
• You need a combination of liquids and solids to make smoothies, shakes and drinks.
Your recipes should use at least 50% - 75% liquid.
• Water, fruit and vegetable juice, milk, almond milk, rice milk, yogurt, soya yogurt and
coconut water all work well.
• Fruit and vegetables should be cut into bite sized pieces so they process quickly. Other
ingredients such as seeds and grains like oats can also be added.
• Cut harder fruit and vegetables into bite sized pieces so they process quickly.
• If your drink is too thick, you can add more liquid after processing.
• You can use frozen fruit and vegetables such as soft fruits or spinach. Add these to
the liquid in the cup, then add other ingredients so that they can soften a little before
processing.
• Ingredients retain more of their nutritional value just after they have been blended. Try
to drink your smoothies when they are fresh.
• Add ingredients to the cup in this order: liquids, fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen fruit,
yoghurt and ice cream.
• The cups are fridge safe, but do not use in the freezer.
• You may need to scrape food from the sides of the cup with a plastic or
silicone spatula.
• The nutriSHOT
®
will crush a few cubes of ice while blending with liquid or food, but it
must not be used to crush ice on its own. This will damage the blade and motor.
