NutriBullet Review: Juices, Diet & Detox Recipes (Glamour.com UK)

Juice Plus Diet Plan

I've never been someone who's been into the latest health food craze. I hardly go to the gym and frankly, I'm not convinced I believe in the whole "juicing" thing - if you want the nutrients out of a carrot you need the fibre, right? Not just the water that's squeezed out of it so surely just eat the damn thing.


But, when my editor told me about just how good the Duchess of Cambridge's "secret weapon", the NutriBullet, really was, I thought I'd experiment. The blades are also powerful enough to grind nuts and seeds, meaning you can add different vitamins, minerals and food groups into the mix. As a NutriBullet rule, all blends must have at least 50% leafy greens (namely Swiss chard, spinach, kale etc.) which means that your fruit sugars are always balanced out.


With a kind of NutriBullet-plan-for-the-normal-woman in mind, I settled on two juices a day. One juice replaced breakfast and then the other I had alongside lunch and ate dinner as normal. The rocks every makeup bag needs. The team at NutriBullet sent me 10 recipes to try over my five-day haul. Throughout the week I kept a diary of what blend I drank, including the ingredients, how full I felt and how enjoyable they were.


This is listed in the gallery below. The financial plus point is that the NutriBullet costs under £100. Think of it like this. It's essentially a really, really good blender and if you were looking to buy one of those, you'd be looking at a lot more than that. I cannot explain to you how easy it is cleaning the NutriBullet, you literally just clean a cup.


Not only is this a winner in the hygiene department BUT I'm open to "whizzing" something up, even if I'm in a rush (which, by the way, I always am) as it takes all of about two seconds to do. Yes, some of the recipes have been unpalatable to say the least, but I've enjoyed following the NutriBullet plan. It's easy, you can choose just to follow the recipes you like, including your own, and by incorporating juices into my diet, I've noticed that I'm less tired, my skin is less dry and I've made more healthy choices.


Of course, I have no idea if the antioxidants have had an impact but, something's better! A downside is the time it takes to make the juices if following the recommended recipes for a beginner. However I can only imagine as you find the ones you like, you'll end up knowing them off by heart which will make the whole process a lot speedier. Despite not doing it for weight loss, I feel a lot less bloated and, strangely, lighter.


Sure, that could just be because I know I'm doing something proactive but, all that matters is how you feel, right? Pick around six recipes you'll stick to and rotate them. The problem with doing something like 10 different recipes over five days is that only one of them may contain kale, only one of them may contain raspberries and only one of them may contain melon.


You can't buy kale by the leaf, or raspberry by the raspberry or melon by the slice which means by the end of the five days, it's all off and food waste is at an all-time-high. By picking a few of what you like, it's likely to contain at least some of the same ingredients which means you maximise the food usage. Start off using spinach as your green base.


I've always eaten a lot of kale and chard but having it raw in a juice is a different ball game. If you don't work up slowly to it, you'll risk being put off. If you really hate the taste of something, don't be afraid to veer off the set recipes. Always replace greens with greens and fruits with fruits so the balance is maintained but you can play things up. It's better to ban some blends than quit all together.


Moderation is considered one beverage per day for a woman and two beverages per day for a man. If you choose to drink beverages that contain alcohol, you will want to be sure to drink a full glass of water after each beverage to prevent dehydration, which is the cause of most hang-overs.
