Nutri Ninja BlendMax DUO Review
Test it out with this delicious Mocha Protein shake that doubles as your morning coffee!
The Nutri Ninja BlendMax Duo System is a Powered by Mom Holiday Gift Guide Pick.
See our 2016 Holiday Gift Guide HERE
Since my little boys were born, I’m up 50 pounds and trying to shake it off. It’s not so much about how I look – it’s more about how I FEEL, and my overall health.
One of my favorite ways to ensure I am getting enough food – but the right foods – while I breastfeed and try to lose those pounds is by drinking my food. I’ve been making all sorts of smoothies and shakes, especially for breakfast. And my latest trick: I turn my afternoon coffee break into a little extra protein boost by making a delicious shake (I shared with you the recipe below).
This morning, I tossed a few frozen broccoli florets into the blender, together with some baby carrots, a banana, chia seeds, protein powder, and milk. That’s two servings of vegetable and protein and a serving of fruit right there!
The thing is, as I use different ingredients throughout the day, it’s not necessarily a one-size-fits-all situation. Different ingredients have different blending needs and that’s the genius of the Nutri Ninja Ninja BlendMax Duo: you get a two-in-one experience.
About Nutri Ninja:
“Ninja® is one of several house-care brands developed by SharkNinja Operating LLC, a pioneer in small household appliances and cleaning solutions that fit the lifestyles of busy people.

The Ninja Blender Duo shows this innovation by relating to what moms like me need. It comes with two types of blenders in one machine: a nutrient extraction blender – with a blade that fits right into two included cups, and a powerful crushing blender to to puree and make smoothies, milkshakes and more.
Their powerful blender once again shows that they are leading the industry and making things both convenient and extra functional.
Features of the Nutri Ninja Ninja BlendMax Duo:
- Auto iQ programming: Push the right button and the blender knows what to do!
- Nutrient and vitamin extraction: breaks up seeds, frozen fruit, and smaller amounts of ice using blend and ultra blend features.
- Total crushing technology: Can make dips, sauces and purees, and even crush larger amounts of ice to make snow and smoothies.
- Comes with an 18 oz and a 24 oz Tritan Nutri Ninja cup plus lids for each.
- Huge 88 oz pitcher for crushing, with a spout lid
- You get a beautiful glossy cookbook full of recipes to get you started. It includes a guide for the best presets for making your own recipes.
- 2 ways to use it: Choose from five presets and then choose boost on or off (to blend more or less.) Or, you can go with classic modes and choose High, Medium, Low or Pulse.
- Blades, containers, and lids are dishwasher safe.
- Containers and lids are BPA free.
I tested the Ninja BlendMax Duo on my afternoon coffee yesterday. Well, it was more like a mocha milkshake with an added protein boost. I hope you enjoy!
Mocha Protein Shake Recipe
In one of the cups, put a few squares of milk chocolate, a small handful of raw cashews, a teaspoon of instant coffee, and a teaspoon of Stevia sweetener (or 2 teaspoons of sugar.)
Add a few ice cubes if you want and a scoop of ice cream (I used Rocky Road ice cream.) Add a scoop of whey protein powder as well. If you have a chocolate flavored powder, that’s the best!
Top it off with as much milk as you’d like. When you blend, you don’t need to worry about using hot water to dissolve the coffee and sugar – the blending does it for you.
Place the lid on the cup and put the cup on the base. I did smoothie for this but I don’t think that was the right setting – I’m still learning it! I would recommend pulsing until it’s ready.
I also chose NOT to boost, which was perfect – I ended up with tiny bits of chocolate and nuts inside that made it even more delicious.
Remove the blade and top off with whipped cream if you want.
Add the lid and drink away! This gave me an extra boost to get my work done yesterday.
And I loved that I didn’t have to wash a blender AND a cup – the blender serves as the cup itself.
If you are looking for a powerful appliance that will meet all your various blending needs – from hummus, to soup, to purees, and a better version of coffee, the Nutri Ninja Ninja BlendMax Duo is the perfect choice! Read more on this fantastic system HERE.

Sarh S says
This looks like a great blender, I’d love it to make smoothies for the kids this summer.
Margot C says
I have one of these and it is the best, that thing is powerful. I also now can’t like without the cups – I even bought extra ones.
jenn sparks says
I would love to upgrade to the Ninja!! I’m using a little faberware thing but it doesnt hold much liquid.
Lynne B says
When we were shopping around for a new blender, this was in the running. In the end, we went with another brand. It works fine but the Ninja is so much more powerful.
Nancy Burgess says
This is so nice I love that you can take it with you.I need to get one .
gloria patterson says
I have been looking for something but just did not know what I wanted or needed. After reading your review I am very impressed with this machine…………… AND WHEN I READ THIS I WAS REALLY HOOKED………..
I tossed a few frozen broccoli florets into the blender, together with some baby carrots, a banana, chia seeds, protein powder, and milk.
i never would have dreamed but I am going to try this recipe
Dotty J Boucher says
What an amazing system this is, I can see me making my smoothies in this , I love that it has its own cups so you can make what you want and take it along with you.
@tisonlyme143
michele soyer says
I need to buy a new blender and now I know what I plan to look at closer and maybe buy.. Thank you for this post…
mell says
The go cup makes this blender even more appealing. I love that it comes with a book of recipes and has auto IQ.
james jenkins says
Mocha is my favorite flavor of these; I learned that I can use a Mocha Protein shake as my morning coffee; hadn’t thought of that. What a time saver; I can make it up ahead of time for my morning jolt, or make extra to take with me for a later break.
BRYAN E. says
We like the additional 18 oz and a 24 oz Tritan Nutri Ninja cups so that we can make different smoothies recipes for the kids & grownups fast on busy mornings !
Alona Y says
On top of all the awesome features I really like that this comes with lids for the cups! I had a cheap blender with cups and didn’t like drinking out of the cups as they didn’t have lids. There’s so much you could do with one of these.
Stacey A Smith says
have been wanting one of these sense they came out a few years ago just never can afford one.would make so many things with it. love all the stuff you can do with it.
Anita F. says
I have been in the market for a good blender and Nutri Ninja keeps popping up. Def need to go and get one.
Colette S says
I’ve been wanting one of these smoothie blenders. Especially the make and go cup.
Thanks for the recipe also
Jerry Marquardt says
I love your review, but more importantly, I love the Ninja. I love the Boost feature. I love that you were able to furnish enough information to declare proper knowledge of this product before I buy it.
Jennifer H. says
I learned that “It comes with two types of blenders in one machine: a nutrient extraction blender – with a blade that fits right into two included cups, and a powerful crushing blender to to puree and make smoothies, milkshakes and more.”
jules m. says
this is really diverse! it does so many things 🙂 Love it!
jeani b says
i know what you mean about needing the right nutrients and protein while you’re breastfeeding. i didn’t breastfeed my first child, but i am breastfeeding my new baby and golly, it is worrisome knowing that what i eat goes to her. i want to be healthy so she is! i also need the protein because breastfeeding takes a lot out of me! this system seems like a great solution!
Cheryl Chervitz says
I like that it can do Nutrient and vitamin extraction, by blending all seeds to be able to drink.
Hope Ford says
Nutrient extraction & total crushing are two of the features that interest me in this awesome machine . So many uses, I feel like this would be used daily and not be collecting dust in my cabinet.
allyson becker says
This looks state of the art. Now that I see that you made a mocha protein shake with the Ninja, now I am going to crave that. This machine would serve so many purposes in my life.
Chasta howes says
Love the nutrient extraction feature bc thenni font have to worry about the seeds in my smoothies or drinks
Ashley Dionne says
I bet this thing works wonders! I have the older version of nutri bullet and it takes quite a bit to get my smoothies made
Allison L says
I like that it does more than just smoothies and that it includes different size cups!
Carolyn Daley says
The Mocha Protein Shake recipe sounds delicious. I love the fact that you were able to blend ice and nuts. Some personal sized blenders are not very powerful enough to handle hard or frozen things. The fact that you can use the Nutri Ninja to blend smoothies, purees, soups, and other things makes it a great kitchen appliance that would get utilized a lot in my home.
Richard Hicks says
What I like most about it is its Auto iQ programming. Will help to simplify things.
claudia davis says
The best thing about the Nutri Ninja is that it knows what to do. I have a blender but never use it because I don’t know what speeds to use for what I am making. It gets confusing and I am afraid I will waste my product. With the Nutri Ninji, it has the Auto iQ programming ability so the machine knows exactly what to do.
Susan S.,TN says
This has to be best blender I have every seen. I have an old blender that could never compete to this one. I love that I can pretty much make anything with this Nutri Ninja. I love the tumblers and the lids that also come with this blender. You can make ur smoothies and not have to dirty any more dishes. Love to have this blender in my kitchen!!
Nancy says
This blender system has so many great features!
vicki lorenz says
Wow the Mocha Protein shake would be yummy! Also I love that you can use a cup! How easy and convenient.
Kortney Lah says
Quite honestly, anything ninja is my favorite brand! I have one currently, but it didn’t come with all the cool features that this one does!
Heather D says
Now I want one of those Mocha Protein Shakes. Yum!
Lorie Pattison says
I didn know you could blend into the cups themselves…like that alot!
Laura says
I love how you can make smoothies in these individual cups. What a wonderful idea! This would be SUPER useful in the mornings!
Christina d says
I love that you can use a cup or the blender! One thing I have not seen before is a blenders ability to break down seeds. I have some things I make with pumpkin seeds and I cannot get them to a smooth consistency so I have to strain it.
Michelle Proper says
What great pictures and easy set up! LOve it!
Barb Miller says
I love that the Ninja has more than the blades on the bottom — you can be sure to get a more even shop action!
Lyndsey R. says
I love how the blender comes with an 18 oz and a 24 oz cup both with lids…that is so helpful for us on-the-go moms! One for me and one for my son! Perfect!
Jenn H says
Love that drinking lid! this looks sooooo much better than my 15 yr old blender HAHA!
Courtney Wood says
I have heard nothing but great reviews about this blender. Your recipe sounds amazing.
Katrina Angele says
I really want to get the ninja. I also am up in weight after having babies. I’ve been wanting to “drink” more of my food to get better nutrition and the Ninja seems like the best.
Bridget Combs says
I had a Ninja similar to this and I just loved it. Green smoothies were the best. Unfortunately, we just lost it in the flood from Hurricane Matthew. This would be an amazing win!
desiree says
icould make my gf bird for the food two but i do nothave any and then i would make them for me after my work
Kimberly Hillman says
I have been looking for an affordable blender that can handle daily use! I cannot wait to try this!
Rosa Espinal says
Hmmmm,with this blender maybe I’ll stop making excuses and get on the be healthy train.I could make healthy smoothies for the whole fam.
Cassandra D says
I like that it comes with an 18 oz and a 24 oz Tritan Nutri Ninja cup plus lids for each, that I can make my smoothies and go.
Aisha R. says
I love the ease with which it grinds nuts in the shake and how the blender cup has a lid so I don’t have to wash another cup.
DENISE LOW says
I like that it has auto IQ. You can push a button and it knows what to do. Thank you for sharing.
Andrea Darst says
I love how many different things this can make! It seems like the perfect kitchen gadget!
wendi says
i have thought about getting one and now i might be a little more convinced after reading the review thank you!! and anything dishwasher safe is a plus
Kathy C says
I really love that you mix in the cup. I’m intrigued by the technology that knows what it’s blending.
Amylynn H says
I really like the single serving cups. I don’t like to dirty a big blender cup when I am making myself a smoothie.
Christa says
I like that it basically comes with everything you need, except the food. No need for extra cups, It also looks super easy to clean.
Anastasia Noelle says
i love the fact that you have smaller blending options, the glass ware can get too heavy for me, especially for cleaning.
i don’t have a dishwasher xD
Thanks for the recipe and review<3
Lanie says
I love the Total Crushing Technology! I would love try to make soups and smoothies and slushies and homemade ice creams!!! 😀
Stephanie H. says
Thanks for the amazing protein shake recipe that I plan on making and sharing with my family.
Cindy B says
What a delicious sounding/looking recipe. I can hardly wait to try it out.
Anita Duvall says
Great review on this one. I had been wondering what the ‘duo’ was about and now I know. That it comes with the extra individual cups would really be nice. Then when the whole family wanted a milkshake on movie night, you could use the pitcher.
Jenny L says
i love the iQ programming feature for when i am rushing and kids
are yelling at me…less thinking that i have to do 🙂
the mocha protein shake sounds delish 🙂
lv says
i love smoothies but still feel hungry afterwards. adding nuts is a great idea
Lynne B says
When we were shopping for a new blender, we knew we weren’t going to get one of those $300 ones. it came down to the NutriNinja and another brand. Wish we had gone with the NutriNinja. I like that it comes with two smoothie cups too!
Peggy Johnson says
I like that it can easily crush ice, a lot of blenders dont do this well
Joey Simmonds says
I have seen this blender before, although, I did not know it was capable of so many things. I love it comes with a recipe book and would love to use one to make some dips.
Karen Beckett says
I love that this blender has Total crushing technology: Can make dips, sauces and purees, and even crush larger amounts of ice to make snow and smoothies. That is lacking in most blenders.
Bonnie Lee says
I love that there are so many settings! The portable cups are awesome also!
Raelynn says
I like the IQ. And the power it has to crush ice cubes and broccoli! Love it already. My daughter always asks to make smoothies.
Amy Hall says
I didn’t realize a Ninja could have so many features. I like that it scomes with two different sized cups. Very useful for morning smoothies.
Billie Rowell says
A mocha milkshake sounds pretty darn good, especially when it has healthy stuff in it! I like that it has a large capacity.
Casey B says
I like the look of the blender. it looks like it works well and there is so much that you can make with it
Cynthia Brooks says
Omgoodness. The mocha protein smoothie looks so delicious. I love coffee mochas hot ones usually, and I always have cashews on hand, and it reminds me of this Ben and Jerry’s coffee caramel ice cream I like. Looks amazing! As for what I like about the blender, it’s really about the power that can blend seeds and greens that makes me lI’ve a really good blender.
Julie says
This blender looks amazing would love to make some healthy protein shakes…
Wendy Starnes says
I am trying to diet and this would be great to make healthy smoothies.
Leslie Crosbie says
I love drinking smoothies!
My blender is broken again because I keep buying crappy, cheap ones, I need to invest in a Nutri-Ninja!
Dana A says
I’m intrigued with the idea that this is called a nutrient extractor. Those blades are powerful enough to break down even though ingredients into more easily digestible parts to help you get the most from your fruits and veggies. I love that it comes with a recipe book to spark your creativity.
Darlene Carbajal says
I love how nice this blender works. I want to try out that recipe!
Lisa Konieczke says
I like that Auto IQ function, how could I mess up with that!? I really should also think about consuming my fruits and veggies in smoothies. I just dont get enough in my diet. You Mocha Protein Shake looks amazing!
HAZELL PEREZ says
I love that is so powerful and can make dips, sauces and crush larger amounts of ice so many amazing wonderful reasons to use. It would be a blessing to have one and delicious things fr my family to be healthy & happy!
Sara Theissen says
I love that this can crush ice the way I like it! Some blenders when I’ve tried to make smoothies don’t crush it enough.
Robin Abrams says
This system sounds awesome. I would love it to make our smoothies. We drink smoothies for breakfast with fresh fruit this system would work great to make them
Nancy says
This system has so many superb features.
betty league says
I have had the Mocha Protein Shake before and it is Awesome! I would love having and use this machine because it make so many healthy and wonderful tasting drinks…thanks
Karen Jaras says
I love all the setting and the variety of option in making my smoothies and soups.
Annmarie W. says
I know this would be great for making smoothies! But I’d also love to use it to make some pureed soups over the cold winter!
Elaine Powell says
I am doing a Gluten free diet. I like that I can get a couple of veggie servings at a time with smoothies. This looks good for adding nuts for more protein. Lots of information in this review. I would like to have the Nutri Ninja BlendMax DUO!!
Laura Martin says
I really like how this blender can pulverize things like ice, seeds, and nuts completely. I have an old blender which is definitely not high-speed…I have to add a lot of liquid to get it to work at all, and even then my smoothies end up extra chunky! I also appreciate the fact that they include extra containers. That would be super convenient for my husband and I to take smoothies to go. Thanks for this detailed review!
Marty C says
That mocha protein shake looks DEElicious. I’m wondering whether the Nutri Ninja is easy to clean. My biggest gripe with my current blender, which is actually my grandma’s blender from the 1950’s, is that it’s a royal pain to take apart and clean after using it.
annette campbell says
I love that you can program it to do exactly what you want it to do. I was amazed that you can put nuts in it. The blender I have could never do that!
Becky Kuntz says
I love how this blender has two extra containers to make and take with on a busy morning!
KristinaC says
I honestly didn’t know all of the different uses for it. Snow? Awesome!
jeanette sheets says
awesome blender!really loved the iq technology
DONNA J LAVINE says
Sounds like an incredible machine! All in one powerful beast with iq programming, what a winner! This would make a perfect companion to the Thanksgiving day feast with all the fixings in ease with a marvelous machine like this!
Alicia Hewitt says
I love the IQ programming, that it’s dishwasher safe, and most importantly BPA free.
Joseph Stowell says
I’ve got to try the Mocha Protein Shake! Yum
Naomi says
I love that you can blend directly into your travel cup and take it with you. So smart!
Kim Pinch says
I love that it has Auto iQ programming. I work early mornings and just pushing one button saves time. I could add most ingredients to the cup to keep in the fridge overnight then just pop it on and push one button. No excuses about not having enough time to eat properly.
Cynthia R says
I have an old worn blender, need something with some power like this ninja. I have a juicer too but it leaves out so much pulp and produces so little juice doesn’t seem worth it.
Azslyn Cole says
I loved this article thank you for sharing i love this blender it works great
Regina B says
Sounds like an awesome machine & since we make tons of smoothies, we have tried a lot of blenders. Love that it has the Auto IQ feature & by blending in the same cup, that saves clean up time!
Angela says
I love that it comes with Tritan Nutri Ninja cups so I can take my smoothie “on the go” with me in the morning.
Karen Hoover says
I fell in love with this system at my daughters. I have ACCESS, I want my OWN!
Tonya Payne says
I have always wanted a Ninja. Would love to make lots of smoothies.
MICHELE KRIK says
I like the amount of settings
Maria Gagliano says
I love this! We go to a juice place for our juices and spend $7-9 each time. This would save us money and time
Brianna Beers says
This would be such a nice gift for my home. I would be able to make healthy shakes and hopefully start losing the weight I gained while I was expecting. I would also love to make milk shakes and fruit smoothies for my children Thank you so much for this chance! This a great review and I really like this machine!
Michele Baron says
I love that you can use the container for your cup and there are two different sized containers
kelley vain says
I don’t have a blender now and would like one like this because it is so versatile and useful!
Lyndi Malarchuk says
I love the flexibility of the NutriNinja! Most things I’d use it for are individual serving sized, so being able to use the cups rather than the full size 88 ounce pitcher is very helpful! (Of course, that 88 ounce pitcher will certainly come in handy when making a round of margaritas for the girls!!)
Mary Cloud says
These are great – we got one for my Grandmother and it’s so easy to use and the cups are so convenient.
darby says
Yum, the Mocha Protien Shake looks good!
Sarah says
I’ve been looking for a new blender thanks. I will be looking to test this one out.
Suzannah Clark says
I like the idea of being able to blend Protein shakes for an afternoon snack and then snapping on the lid to conserve any extra.
Mandy hammons says
I learned it has total crushing technology and can break up large amounts of ice
Janice Crespo says
I love that the container is a cup that I can use with it’s own lid. That just makes so much more sense. The power of this machine is impressive and it looks like the cookbook would be put to good use. It would be like learning how to cook and prepare in an entirely new way. Sounds fun!
Maureen Cioni says
I had no idea it would do extraction. That is great! My daughter and I both are looking for one.
Jennifer Odom says
I could also stand to lose 50lbs! I think this would be a great way to get healthier foods in!
Heather McDonald says
I love that you can blend right into a provided cup and that it comes with a lid. Perfect for taking to work. And there are two! So you can use it as soon as you come home too.
Jeanine says
I love that it has nutrient and vitamin extraction that breaks up seeds, frozen fruit, and ice
Michelle S says
I love that you can do the single serve items but then also larger batches.
Pauline Gorczycki says
THIS would be great to make smoothies. And to make home made baby food for my new grandbaby.
Amanda Alvarado says
I like the Auto IQ blending! The Ninja we have doesn’t have that and everything doesn’t always get completely blended when we make out smoothies!
Jillian Too says
I love the Auto iQ programming. It would make blending much easier.
AARON RECK says
I like to blend a lot of beverages and smoothies so I just really need something that is in a good price range and very easy to clean and the Nuri Ninja Blendmax duo system is perfect.
Julie L says
I love that it has an individual portioned cup too.
Monica Cobbs says
I like the iQ option, sounds like it takes a lot of the guess work out. I also like that you can choose the consistency. I have one blender that never seems to chop things enough and a separate one that only liquefied things. Very frustrating.
Christina Sparks says
This is nice how it blends nuts and ice, my blender would most likely blow up if I tried this
Jennifer Pellicone says
First I am going to try your recipe! Looks really tasty and accidentally good for you to! Second I love the auto IQ programming. I think I NEED one!!!
Cheryl Everitt says
I love the auto iQ programming: Push the right button and the blender knows what to do! No guess work! You can make dips, sauces and purees, and even crush larger amounts of ice to make smoothies.I love that there is an 18 oz and a 24 oz Tritan Nutri Ninja cup with lids. Awesome product and great review!
Sandra Brower says
This would be amazing to win!!
Amanda morris says
I love that this blender has so many versatile functions , I woudl love to use it for smoothies <3
Terry Cross says
I like that is has two types of blenders in one machine.Being able to use the blender cup with lid to drink from is an awesome feature.
Susan Burge (@georgiarealist) says
I like the idea of the different containers for different functions. I didn’t realize Ninja and Shark were owned by the same company.
Susan A says
My current blender struggles with ice and tough fruit, this sounds like the perfect solution and something I definitely need!!
Debbie Welchert says
My blender broke many many years ago. I would love to get another one because lots of times the recipes I see ask that you puree this and puree that and I don’t have a blender so I can’t make it. This blender sounds like a really good one and would do everything that I would need in a blender.
Karen Giasson says
I learned that it can crush large amounts of ice. I absolutely love that feature.
Megan Cromes says
i learned it has two blades ty 🙂
Austin H. says
I really like all the different uses for this blender. The large container for soups or smoothies. Or the small containers for personal smoothies, dips and sauces. This thing sounds great.
Jennifer Corrado says
This Ninja looks powerful and I love the individual cups with lids! I would make lots of smoothies in this!
Loraine says
I’ve been eyeballing a new blender for a while – especially the coffee bar ninja
Jammie says
I love the power this blender has, with trying to be healthy, this is perfect. With the ability to make healthy coffee drinks and even salsa this bad boy is on my Christmas list.
Sarah Smith says
It looks so easy to clean! I love that you can just put it in the dishwasher.
Debra Holloway says
I like that it has automatic IQ programming. This is a fabulous feature.
kath g says
I love that it can crush large amounts of ice to make snow! How great would that be with some gatorade, in the summer, while mowing the lawn….a gatorade sno-cone.
Jennifer Green says
I like that it has iq technology. It’s nice when your appliances get to know you
violet taylor says
sigh. i lost my vitamix in the divorce, but this looks even better actually! i will check it out!
DanV says
I like the easy settings and especially the smoothie setting
Ashley Chassereau Parks says
I love the 2 cups!! That would make life on the go so much easier!! I also love that it is dishwasher safe! That would be so helpful in getting everything cleaned after use!
ginette4 says
I love that it has an Auto iQ programming: Push the right button and the blender knows what to do! wow very smart, love that it also comes with its own cookbook!
Debbie F says
That’s a great idea! To put some veggies in there to get 2 servings of veggies in your drink. It’s hard to get all your vitamins in in one day and it’s so much better to get them from actual whole foods and not from pills.
thanks!
Brenda Perryman says
I plan to use it for getting my veggies daily
Melissa Crisp says
This sounds amazing and makes my blender look like a chump. I’m already planning smoothies I can make with this.
LAMusing says
I like you can blend it, grab it and go!
Mia says
I like that it has such a huge pitcher and how great to have so many automatic controls. I am glad that it comes with a cookbook because it looks like there is so much that can be done with it.
DeAnna Keller says
I love that it is dishwasher safe and BPA-free!
Cathleen King says
I like how it can crush ice and knowing there’s a cup to use.
Sandy Klocinski says
I’m in love I’m in love and I don’t care who knows! (quote from Elf). My old blender has seen better days, so the timing couldn’t be better.
Linda w. says
This machine looks awesome. My blender is so old and has no power even for my smoothies.
Gina G says
This recipe sounds fantastic! I love all the things you can do with a Ninja. Must get one!
Mary Rutter says
I like that this machine is powerful and will get the job done.
Cindy Peterson says
I must make this shake mocha protein shake for my husband.
Natalie says
I love the total crushing technology and the fact that is is so automated and easy to use.
Laurie Nykaza says
The shake sounds so good love to make one I love all the things you can do with the Ninja and that it has an auto iQ programming so you can just push the right button and the blender knows what to do so easy we would love making lots of sauces and smoothies with it.
Jan Lee says
It’s great that the blender cup can be used as a drinking cup too. I also like that the larger blender has a spout on it to pour drinks or soups from 🙂 I want to be able to mix up some healthy dips as well 🙂 Thank you for the review and recipe!
Loen210 says
Thanks for the great review. This is one of the best ones giving feedback and also providing photos of each part. There are many versions that come with different pieces/parts, and it is always hard to know which ones. And this helps to know what to do with each part. Thank you. 🙂 We hope to try these out soon.
JS says
Totally awesome that this uses the cup as the holder. I hate having to clean everything when I use a standard blender….
laura says
This is such a great blender! I would love to make smoothies for the whole family with it.
Tara Liebing says
I love that this blender is not just one size. I also like that it completely blends everything especially seeds and ice. My current blender does not do that.
Melissa Storms says
I love that it is so powerful and comes with the cups.
Lauryn R says
This recipe sounds so good! My favorite feature of this blender (besides the fact that it’s a Ninja!) is how you blend the smoothie in the same cup that you drink it out of! This is such a handy feature. 🙂
Angelica Dimeo says
I love all the different settings and the different size containers
Susan W says
I like that they include a recipe book with the system
Cheryl Rahkonen says
I like the nutrient and vitamin extraction feature of this blender. With this blender, I would be getting the whole food with all of it’s nutrition and fiber.
Eileen says
The total crush technology is great! So many times I’ve put things in my blender and it takes so many tries to get it to the right consistancy,especially ice!
Mary Beth Elderton says
This machine is so versatile! I love the AutoIQ and the various size containers.
Dana says
I like that the blender is a cup too. Less clean up! I’ve been looking into the blendtec blenders and wondered how this compared.
Jeanna says

Wow that looks like an amazing upgrade from my current really old blender! I love that everything is dishwasher safe and that there are so many settings!

My blender just broke and I’m looking for a new one. This one looks great! My kids and I love smoothies, so it looks like it would be great for making those, especially with crushing the frozen fruit.
Margot C says
It’s so cool taht this has those cups. You can just make your smoothie and go.
Emily Adams says
I love that this blend can crush up large quantiites of ice which would make it great for smoothies. I also love that it has different sized cups for drinks and smoothies.
pu ye says
I haven’t used one of these before. I like that you can blend and serve out of the same container. Less cleanup. I do love smoothies.
Rachel says
This is awesome, i’ve never seen a blender like this. I didn’t realize that you can blend right in the cups themselves and not have to dirty and wash the blender just for a cupful, plus everyone can have different drinks.
Robin Diaz says
Wow! I didn’t know you could blend cashews. I love that it would blend those up! Maybe even some almonds. It would be a great way for me to blend dates into smoothies
Rebecca b says
I really like that it breaks up the smaller bits. I can put in things that the kids would normally turn their noses up at.
Kerri Stewart says
A Nutri Ninja has been on my wish list since I first saw it! I like how it has the features of a regular blender as well as the nutrient extracter. I can’t wait to get one for my family.
laurie damrose says
I liked seeing what it can do and the accessories and recipes also.
Michele L says
I have the NutriBullet and I really love it. My husband, who is anti-veggie will actually drink a smoothie with spinach in it. These are really the best things ever. I love the additional features on this large one and the bigger container – I can make both of our smoothies at once!
Linda Kish says
I haven’t used one of these before. I like that you can blend and serve out of the same container. Less cleanup. I do love smoothies.
Jodi Wresh says
I like that it has crushing power and that it has 2 blending cups. The mocha smoothie sounds so good!
Maryann D. says
I love Ninja products and we have one. This Ninja BlendMax Duo does look so modern and fun to use. I want to make a Mocha Protein Shake also, it looks delicious!
belinda bell says
I love that it is a extraction blender and a crushing blender. It will different types of foods. And I love the individual cups.
Michelle Castagne says
This is an amazing blender to be able to push a button and it knows what to do.
Steve Weber says
I love that you can blend and then take in the same cup to go!
Sabrina Cordova says
I found this review very informative. I was not aware that there are 2 types of blades, one for extracting nutrients and one for crushing ingredients. I like that the cups have blades also and cuts down on clean up.
Haley Cook says
I would love a Ninja Blender! Ours definitely needs an upgrade, it doesn’t chop ice or anything hard very well at all. I love that this comes with two different size personal cups; it just makes it that much better!
Alice C says
Total crushing technology. Most blenders just don’t have it. Ninjas are great for slushy summer drinks.
Tamara Walker says
The Auto iQ function is AMAZING to me!!
Tina says
We have one of those “personal blenders” that you can drink out of the blender cup, but it doesn’t have enough power to chop up nuts and such, so it’s good to hear this machine can do that, though it’d be nice to know if it can also make a totally smooth smoothie for those times when you don’t want to have to chew your smoothies.
Marcie W. says
We enjoy making smoothies and protein shakes, so a blending system like this would be a wonderful addition to our family and suit our lifestyle perfectly. Love those different cup sizes too!
Sheila M. says
I love that it is dishwasher-safe and BPA-free!
Suzanne K says
I hadn’t thought of putting brocolli into a smoothie, love it! I also love the larger cup sizes – my current one is a mini!
Cecilia Pipitone-Oliveto says
This Nutri Ninja Blend Max System would really blow my Oster blender away. I especially love that it comes with two different size cups that you can take your smoothies in and go. That is really convenient and I bet it would make a great Pina Colada too.
KENNETH OHL says
I have such an outdated blender think it was my mother in laws from years ago love this machine
Kathleen Kelly says
I have a problem eating breakfast. I just don’t do it. I saw a dietician and she said that I was doing pretty good all in all. I am 63 and diabetic and recent heart issues. My point is that one of these systems would be just the right thing for me so I could make smoothies for my breakfast! This looks like an amazing system with two types of blenders in one system.
lisa says
I have a blender, but not like this. I’d like to try some of thed rinks you’ve listed.
polly says
I like that it comes with 2 different sizes of cups with the lids. On my wish list!
Candace Galan says
I think the Auto iQ technology is so cool and innovative but for me a little intimidating, it looks so much more confusing than a regular blender.
paige chandler says
I like the cupids. I like different sizes depending on what I make and who is participating.
Marilyn Nawara says
I love that you can use the same cup that you mix with to drink. This blender looks awesome!
Maureen says
Total crushing ability is what really caught my eye. I hate a smoothie when it is full of lumps of fruit or other items.
Holly C. says
this machine has been on my wish list for some time! The first thing I would start making is almond milk! It would be awesome for making tomato sauces for canning. I am ion lust with this remarkable machine lol.
Carolyn Massey says
I won a Ninja about 2 years ago and have used it a lot to make smoothies and baby food. It’s great but doesn’t do what this Ninja duo can do. I would like to have this. Thanks for the post.
Angela P says
I love the travel cups? that is totally awesome that you can just make your shake and take with you
Sonya Allstun says
I love that it comes with the blender cups. I love to make cold drinks and this would be perfect. It sounds powerful and just what this household needs to get the meal-making job done.
Margaret Smith says
This sounds like a great blender. I’ve heard such positive remarks about this blender and would love to try it.
James Stringham says
I like the individual cup sizes, in addition to the full size pitcher.

I am excited to get one of these. I want to make my husband and me some protein shakes before work. We will both enjoy having a healthy breakfast on the go.
Jo-Ann Brightman says
I love that this crushes frozen fruits or veggies and can extract juices too all in a small machine.

I love that this blender is not limited to just a few obvious recipes. I lov ehow its dish washer safe, and that I can make my hubbys favorite dip with it..
Angela Saver says

I am amazed at the things this one machine can do.
Michele Cupp says
Love the auto IQ programming option. That’s pretty awesome.
Kathy Ross says
This would be awesome to have! I really like that it totally crushes ice and that you have the cup to use and not have to wash the bigger blender too. This was an informative review! Thanks!
Rust says
This machine sounds like a workhorse! I really like that it has tall cups with their own lids.
Kathy Hanley says
I like that it’s strong enough to blend up frozen fruit so I don’t have to waste time trying to defrost them.
Ronald Gagnon says
I have an old blender that looks rediculous when compared to this machine
