Product Information

This time the smoothie had a gritty texture due to the chia seeds and seeds from the strawberries, both of which had not been broken down.

I chopped and sautéed the onions as above then added blended tinned tomatoes as the base, followed by spices, chunks of pepper and sweetcorn. We also tested out each of the other programmes and ended up making a smooth and creamy tomato and basil soup, a chunky chicken noodle soup, homemade tomato sauce and sweet strawberry jam. Aside from a few plastic bags, this Ninja blender comes neatly packaged in cardboard, so everything in the box is easily recyclable, which definitely gets a thumbs up from me. There may be an automatic time limit, but if it does, it’s 45 minutes or more — and we didn’t encounter it during our test. You can choose from four pre-programmed blends — Smoothie, Frozen Drink, Dessert and Milkshake — or set your own blend manually, using the the Blend and Pulse options to follow your own recipe.Despite the occasional stirring with the sharp blades the chunks of pepper, sweetcorn and kidney beans all stayed intact and I was pleased with the result. When she’s not working, Helen can be found enjoying the local countryside or dreaming about her next house renovation project. I blended frozen cherries with flaxseed powder, protein powder, milk, spinach, peanut butter and ice. If you’re not around when it finishes it’ll switch on the keep warm function and keep your soup warm for up to 60 minutes.

Ice is no match for the Ninja, it completely crushed a handful of ice cubes in just five quick pulses, so it’s great for making cocktails or cool summer drinks. The chunky soup programme works in much the same way as the smooth soup programme but without the final blending phase. While we used Chop to help us make our frozen hot chocolate, you can also use it to chop onions and other ingredients for your soups. While it boasts plenty of useful programmes, we were especially keen on the cleaning programme and brush.You also get a cleaning brush in the box which is effective at dislodging debris from around the blade area, should you need to clean the jug by hand. The lid, centre cap and tamper are all dishwasher safe, but they’re not tricky to wash by hand either. With the functionality of both a blender and a not-so-slow cooker, this ingenious device can prepare your dinner — and dessert — singlehandedly. The sauce programme takes just over 30 minutes, the blades spin at regular intervals during the cooking process to mix and chop the ingredients, but the finished sauce still had some texture.
