Nutri Ninja Smoothie Recipes

What makes a smoothie a smoothie? The addition of milk, yogurt, or ice cream along with pureed fruit gives a smoothie its signature thick, smooth, tasty essence. You can even add vegetables to your smoothies. Their taste can be masked, if you so choose, and you still get all the benefits as if you ate the veggies on their own. Parents, heed my advice.

  1. I have a BL 455 and while I was blending it leaked into the base, and I did not notice it. It was just a small amount. The mixture I was blending was semi sweet and after use, I set it out to dry. Overnight it was invaded by ants. They were down in the small push down parts.
    My question is can I soak the top part of the unit with just a small amount of hot soapy water to clean in case this happens again? I’m not talking about emersing the entire unit. Thanks
