Full-size blenders can prepare mixtures such as fruit smoothies, soups, sauces and dips, using ingredients and attachments permitted for the selected model and enough liquid for blending.
Keep the combined ingredients and liquid below MAX. Hot ingredients belong only in a model’s permitted vented pitcher; sealed cups need cold or room-temperature, non-fizzy ingredients.
For recipe ideas, browse the official NutriBullet recipe libraries for Australia and New Zealand. Choose recipes for your exact machine and attachment, and follow your user guide’s hot-ingredient and ice limits.
NutriBullet Triple Prep System
Use the NutriBullet Triple Prep System for liquid-containing fruit and vegetable smoothies, soups, sauces, spreads and the guide’s almond or cashew milk recipes, with the matching attachment and program.
Which attachment suits the ingredients?
- For soups, sauces and spreads, use the pitcher’s Purée program; choose Smoothie for fresh and frozen fruit or vegetables, Frozen Drinks for ice-blended drinks, and Nutmilk for the guide’s almond or cashew milk recipes.
- For small salad dressings, use the single-serve cup’s Dressing program; its other programs are Smoothie and Frozen Drinks.
- For toppings, chopped food, dips, bread or pizza dough, or sliced/shredded ingredients, use the food-processor work bowl with its chopping blade, dough blade or reversible Slice/Shred Disc as appropriate.
How should I fill the container?
- Include sufficient liquid and keep ingredients below the vessel’s MAX line. Do not run the vessel empty or force in food when the blade cannot turn.
Can I use ice or frozen food?
- Blend frozen fruit or vegetables and ice as part of a drink with sufficient liquid; do not crush ice on its own or pack the vessel with ice. Too much ice can prevent the blade from turning.
Which ingredients should I leave out?
- Remove pits from stone fruit before blending. Keep apple seeds and the pits of cherries, plums, peaches and apricots out of the blend; remove non-food items and utensils as well.
- Do not use the blades or discs to grind dry grains, cereal or coffee. These ingredients can damage the blades or overheat the motor.
Can the ingredients be hot or fizzy?
- For hot ingredients, use only the vented pitcher with its lid secured and vented lid cap fitted. Keep the vents clear, stay below MAX, start on LOW and increase speed only once the ingredients are integrated and the mixture is steady. Open carefully after blending to avoid hot steam and splashes.
- Use only refrigerated or room-temperature ingredients at 21°C or cooler in a sealed cup. Never put hot, warm or carbonated ingredients in it; use the pitcher for permitted hot blends.
- Check protein powders and other additions for effervescent ingredients. Keep soda, baking powder, baking soda, yeast, bubbling batters, cake mix and dry ice out of the sealed cup because they can build pressure.
- Use the vented pitcher for carbonated ingredients, keeping its Pitcher Lid and Vented Lid Cap secured; take care when opening.
How do I prepare food for the processor?
- Remove seeds, stems and inedible pieces, and cut large food into 1–2 inch pieces before using the chopping blade. Stay below the work bowl MAX line.
- Use Pulse to distribute dough ingredients, then Dough or Low once dough forms; a higher speed can overwork dough.
- For slicing or shredding, fit the disc in the upper operating position and start on High before feeding. Guide food gently with the food pusher, do not force or overload the chute, and let food move through before adding more.
NutriBullet Blender Combo 1200
The NutriBullet Blender Combo 1200 can blend fruit, vegetables, cooked foods, thin batter and liquid-containing soups, sauces, dips or milkshakes, using the setting suited to the mixture.
What can I blend, and which setting suits it?
- Use LOW for thin batter, gravy, marinades, eggs, cooked food and uncooked fruit, with liquid in the blend.
- Choose MEDIUM for creaming soups, mixing dips, grinding nuts, and blending sauces, spreads, mixed or powdered drinks and milkshakes. Do not treat a nut setting as permission to grind dry grains or coffee.
- Use HIGH for thick mixtures and frozen fruits or vegetables. For a smoothie, choose EXTRACT; include sufficient liquid rather than crushing ice alone.
How should I fill the container?
- Include sufficient liquid and keep ingredients below the vessel’s MAX line. Do not run the vessel empty or force in food when the blade cannot turn.
- Use the higher solids MAX line and lower liquid MAX line on the pitcher; the single-serve cup has its own MAX line.
- For a smoothie, add greens, then fruit, then powders/seeds/nut butter, then liquid, and ice last. Keep the combined contents under MAX.
Can I use ice or frozen food?
- Blend frozen fruit or vegetables and ice as part of a drink with sufficient liquid; do not crush ice on its own or pack the vessel with ice. Too much ice can prevent the blade from turning.
Which ingredients should I leave out?
- Remove apple seeds and the seeds or pits of apricots, cherries, plums and peaches before blending. Keep spoons and other non-food objects out of the vessel.
- Always add liquid: the blender is not an ice crusher or a dry-blending appliance.
Can the ingredients be hot or fizzy?
- For hot ingredients, use only the vented pitcher with its lid secured and vented lid cap fitted. Keep the vents clear, stay below MAX, start on LOW and increase speed only once the ingredients are integrated and the mixture is steady. Open carefully after blending to avoid hot steam and splashes.
- Use only refrigerated or room-temperature ingredients at 21°C or cooler in a sealed cup. Never put hot, warm or carbonated ingredients in it; use the pitcher for permitted hot blends.

NutriBullet SmartSense Blender — Australia
The NutriBullet SmartSense Blender can use fresh and frozen ingredients for smoothies and shakes, with manual speeds and PULSE for salsa and chunky dips.
AUTO works with fresh and frozen ingredients for smoothies and shakes. Manual speeds and PULSE suit textured recipes such as salsa and chunky dips.
- When using AUTO, add enough liquid to cover all solid ingredients.
- For smoothies with tough ingredients, blend those ingredients with liquid first, then add frozen ingredients in a second AUTO cycle. Hard or fibrous ingredients, including root vegetables, kale, celery, nuts and seeds, may need two cycles.
The guidance here covers this model’s pitcher. Confirm any optional processor attachment against the exact model: Check compatible attachments.
For hot ingredients, follow the instructions for your exact model: Hot ingredients in your SmartSense Blender.
