1. Nut & Seed Butters. Rich and creamy nut and seed butters taste even better when made from scratch. Nuts and seeds are powerful sources of plant protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Drizzle them on top of your smoothie bowls for an extra boost of nutrition or incorporate them into your favorite classic desserts (see #2).  

2. Nut and Seed Butter Cups. Chocolate and nut/seed butter are a match made in heaven. These decadent treats taste amazing and are easier to make than you might expect. Whichever silky spread you use (almond butter, peanut butter, Super Seed Butter…), your sweet tooth is sure to be satisfied.

3. Butter & Compound Butter. Make your homemade (yes you can do this!) butter even more elevated by incorporating ingredients that add sweet and salty flavor like herbs, honey, garlic, or even fruit. Our version of Compound Butter transforms even the simplest piece of bread into a work of art. 

4.  Focaccia Bread is one of those things that sounds super fancy, but is shockingly easy to make yourself, since most of the “work” involves letting it rest. Enjoy this Italian bread on its own, dunk it into flavored oils and dips, or add your favorite herbs, cheeses, and other toppings prior to baking.

5. Pizza Dough. Pizza night will get a whole lot better when you start making your own pizza dough. It also freezes great, so you can always make it ahead of time. Homemade pizza nights are also a great way to involve little ones in the kitchen – they can choose their own toppings and you may, just may, get them to try a new vegetable.

Blend, purée, slice, shred, chop, knead, and mix your way to culinary bliss with our most versatile product ever. A fully functional full-sized blender, single-serve blender, and food processor, the nutribullet® Triple Prep System does pretty much any food prep task all with a twist, a lock, and the touch of a button.

You can make it all with the nutribullet® Triple Prep System. Coleslaw-ready cabbage, stretchy pizza dough, creamy nutmilk, a frosty margarita — it’s all on the table with this versatile kitchen appliance. 

1 base, 3 appliances.

Full-sized blending.

Blend for a crowd with the large Blending Pitcher. Select the Puree, Frozen Drinks, Smoothie, or Nutmilk program, or choose High, Medium, Low, or Pulse speeds. The full-sized blender is perfect for whipping up soups, sauces, and party drinks for a crowd. 

Try: Heirloom Tomato Soup. Warm, comforting, and full of nourishing veggies, this flavorful soup is perfect as a main dish, or as a side for dunk-able grilled cheese sandwiches.

Single-serve blending.

Attach the personal Blending Cup and select High, Medium, Low, or Pulse speeds, or choose the Smoothie, Frozen Drinks, or Dressing preset. The single-serve blender makes the classic nutribullet® smoothies you know and love, plus a smattering of treats and toppings to add extra personality to your bites.

Try: Pink Lemonade Smoothie. Nothing like a tall glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. We take the refreshment a step further, using frozen fruit to turn a sugary treat into a nutritious and super-cool sipper.

Food processing.

Attach the 7-cup Work Bowl and choose between the slice/shred disc, a chopping blade, and a dough blade to create incredible salads, slaws, dips, and baked goods.

Try: Feta and Roasted Cherry Tomato Dip.  If flavor is what you’re after, this succulent, savory dip delivers big, with tart tomatoes, salty feta, and punchy garlic screaming “umami” in every bite.

And the best part of it all, it cleans like a dream. Attachments are top-rack dishwasher safe while the blade, tamper, and power base are easy to clean by hand.

While there is no guaranteed method to eliminate your risk, there are well documented behaviors that help decrease risk such as stopping smoking, decreasing alcohol consumption and eating a plant-based diet rich in fruits and vegetables. While this knowledge is more widespread, there is one common behavior that’s often overlooked: exercise. 

Frequency, Duration and Intensity

Numerous studies in recent years have looked at the relationship between breast cancer risk and regular exercise and have found that women who take part in physical exercise have a lower risk of developing breast cancer.

Exercise recommendations include a combination of both aerobic exercise and strength training.

For cancer prevention, the American Cancer Society recommends engaging in 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each week. Examples of effective physical activity include brisk walking, hiking, cycling, swimming, tennis, and golf (without a cart!). When weather doesn’t permit, think about walking around the mall, streaming an exercise video, or taking a class at your local gym. 

When it comes to strength training, it’s best to follow recommendations from a physician and a qualified personal trainer on the appropriate levels of weights and proper technique to avoid injury. This is especially important during the period after treatment or surgery, so as to not interfere with the healing process.

One of the most important things you can do when it comes to exercise is develop habits that are sustainable. That is, consistency is most important. Find activities that you love to do, invite a friend or family member, and integrate it into your daily or weekly routine.

nutribullet® is proud to enter its third year as a corporate partner to this fantastic organization. In addition to a $50,000 donation again this year, we’re supporting the cause by launching our limited-edition BCRF nutribullet® 24 oz to-go cups with pink and white lids that compliment our soft pink nutribullet® Pro perfectly.

Here are two pink smoothie recipes inspired by our partnership with BCRF that would be great to whip up in your pink nutribullet® Pro!

1.     Post-workout shake. Replenishing your body with adequate nutrition and hydration is essential post-sweat. A portable blender makes getting adequate nutrition that much easier. Pack it in your gym bag for a convenient way to optimally recover. 
2.     Coffee or latte on-the-go. Get the coffee shop-style latte without the drive-thru line or prices. We recommend blending up this Iced Matcha Latte – it will give you the pick-me-up you crave with the added benefit of antioxidants.
3.     In-between class or meeting smoothie. Skip the vending machine and make yourself a nutritious Strawberry and Banana Smoothie instead. It’ll keep your brain and body humming way better than those corn chips ever could.
4.     Tailgating done right. Uplevel your pregame with a blended Margarita on-the-spot. That’s our definition of a touchdown. 
5.     Homemade vinaigrette. No more soggy salads! Ideal for potlucks, prep your veggies in advance, then blend up a fresh homemade dressing when it’s time to toss. Our favorites? This Raspberry Vinaigrette or Cucumber Dill Dressing.
6.  Breakfast of champions (even while camping). Mix up scrambled eggs or perfect pancake batter with the push of a button – no added bowls required.

For prime recovery, the winning combination to have post-workout is a meal or snack that contains both carbohydrates and protein. 

Carbohydrates are important for replenishing glycogen – the stored form of carbohydrates that fuels muscle movement – while protein provides essential amino acids that form the building blocks to repair and grow muscle. Generally, 20g of protein is ideal for post-workout recovery, but it’s also a good idea to include quality sources of protein in your meals and snacks throughout the day.

Additional benefits come from including heart-healthy, plant-based fats and antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies. Both provide a spectrum of vitamins and minerals and contain compounds that help to reduce inflammation in the body.  

Smoothies are an ideal post-workout fuel. Not only are they easy and convenient, they can also pack a serious nutritional punch and help restore hydration levels. A portable blender, like our magic bullet® Portable Blender, is a great tool for whipping up a perfect recovery smoothie. We love blending this Strawberry Banana Smoothie or  Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie with a favorite protein powder. For advice on which protein powder to use, check out this article.
