This tension became even more apparent to me when I became a wife and mother, roles which forced me to think even more carefully about food and the role it plays in my life. As my family grew, it became paramount to find quick, easy ways to prepare nutritious food that everyone could enjoy. On top of this, living in North Dakota, my family has always prided itself on living an active lifestyle with plenty of time spent in the outdoors, which means that our diet has to keep us energized and ready for whatever the day might bring. You dont want to run out of steam halfway through a hike or bike ride! However, initially, everything I tried seemed to require huge investments of time, money, and laborall of which were in short supply in my busy household. Then, one day, while I was dropping my daughter Sienna off for a playdate I saw her friend Megan drinking a curious and colorful beverage that caught my attention. I asked Megans mother what it was, suspecting it was some new soda or fruity beverage loaded with sugar (and almost nothing else) that Sienna would be begging for soon.

To my surprise, she informed me that the drink was a smoothie packed with veggies and fruits, and explained that their whole family had become addicted to them. When I got home, I got on my laptop and began to research smoothies and smoothie makers. The choices were seemingly endless; it seemed a movement had been building right under my nose. Despite the huge breadth of options, my goal was clear: to find a blender that was cheap, efficient, and easy to handle. We needed something that would fit easily into our hectic schedule but help us stay healthy. With these criteria set, the correct choice became clear pretty quickly: the NutriBullet.

Why the NutriBullet, you ask? Simple. Unlike its competitors, the NutriBullet is designed to maximize both the nutrition of smoothies and the ease of making them. In contrast to traditional blenders, it uses a unique extraction system that pulls as many nutrients as possible out of the ingredients that you put into it. Moreover, with a simple and compact design, the NutriBullet can fit on any countertop and is easy to clean up after. All of these factors make it the perfect choice for anyone looking to incorporate smoothies into their regular diet, but especially for those who, like me, are on-the-go and need a hassle-free experience. I love that after I use it I can simply toss it into the dishwasher and come back a few hours later and its ready to go again.

Beyond this, its been a source of great pleasure for my family to play with what we put into our NutriBullet and to tinker with recipes weve found online or that weve made ourselves. In fact, it was this creative nutritional collaboration that inspired me to put together this book. I hope that Super Smoothies for NutriBullet can serve as a helpful primer for new and veteran NutriBullet users alike. When I first set out to make the book, I wanted to capture the sense of discovery and enjoyment that my own family had experienced in making our own smoothies. Hopefully, this book can help you expand what you eat and head further down the path of health and wellness. Good luck, and enjoy!
