She believes that living a healthy lifestyle and eating for your health isn't meant to be complicated -- it's meant to be simple, enjoyable, and judgment-free (with room for dessert). When she’s not dishing out nutrition tidbits, you can find McKenzie visiting her local farmers market, hiking her favorite trails with her husband, and chasing after her daughters.

Blenders and smoothies go hand-in-hand. And for that, we are forever grateful. But adding a blender to your kitchen can give you so much more than just smoothies. The Ultra, in particular, with its increased wattage and intuitive illuminated interface can be used to whip up high quality condiments, sweet treats, and cocktails. It’s a small-but-mighty appliance that advances the blender story and enhances your blending options, all with the push of a button. 

Here are 3 non-smoothie reasons to love your new Ultra 

  1. Homemade condiments. Whether you’re dunking, dolloping, or drizzling, condiments add an intensity of flavor that make every bite a little brighter. If you want another way to incentivize your tastebuds to have vegetables other than in a smoothie, make homemade dressings like this Carrot Ginger Miso one. You’ll hardly be able to wait for your next salad. 
  2. To make desserts.If you’re lacking the time or patience for traditional baking, let your nutribullet<sup>®</sup>Ultra do the heavy lifting for you. Dump all the ingredients in your nutribullet<sup>®</sup> cup and in a few minutes, your sweet tooth will be satisfied. Try out our Chocolate Mug Cake
  3. Cocktails. It’s pretty simple: fresh ingredients, easy blending, and delicious sipping. Let’s raise a glass to that. Cheers to this Rum-away Punch or Berry Passion Fruit Cooler.

So many culinary opportunities await. We can’t wait to see what you blend up!
