You have good intentions but somehow, when life gets busy, making sure you get the recommended daily fruit and vegetable intake can end up way down your list of priorities. But what if there was a small appliance superstar that made it easy? The all-new Ninja Precision Blender Mega Pack is the perfect tool for making nutrient-packed smoothies, shakes and salad dressings at home. And with Ninja accessories for sipping on the go, you can take your healthy habits with you.

Here are the top five ways the Ninja Precision Blender Mega Pack can help you make good on those health goals, plus some delicious Ninja portable blender recipes to try at home.

1. More Get-Up-And-Go In The Mornings

Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend that adults eat at least five servings of veggies and two servings of fruit per day. Not getting your quota? A homemade smoothie can be a delicious way to pack in a few servings before you even walk out the door, and the Ninja Precision Blender makes blitzing a breakfast smoothie simple.

“Ninja is well known for its precision Pro Extractor Blade, which thoroughly blends ingredients so you get all the nutrients but none of the lumps,” says Tracey Ellis, The Good Guys Buyer – Portable Appliances.

“Ninja blenders are also really easy to operate – just press down on the powerful 900 watt motor base to blend, and you’ve got a cafe-quality smoothie faster than the kids can find their school shoes.”

3. Remove blades from cup after blending.

2. Healthier At Home – And On The Go

Your wellness goals don't have to fall by the wayside when your kitchen is out of reach. With the Ninja Precision Blender Mega Pack, just blend your favourite smoothie directly into the Ninja Cup, twist on a Sip and Seal Lid and enjoy your healthy sips on the go! Ninja cups fit perfectly into your car’s drink holders, and you get three in your Mega Pack – so you can make smoothies to go for the whole family. Think of the money you’ll save on drive-through drinks and smoothie bar visits!

3. Less Stress Because You Can Plan Ahead

Reducing stress can have a marked effect on your health and wellbeing, so make the most of the Ninja Precision Blender’s blending power with pre-prepared smoothie ingredients stocked in the freezer. It’s as simple as portioning out your fresh fruit and vegetables into freezer-safe containers or freezer bags so they’re ready to grab and blitz at any time. An ice-cold smoothie is also a great alternative to that chocolate cookie you reach for at 3pm!

NINJA TIP: The Ninja Precision Blender can crush ice – so try a frappé for a cool twist on your daily caffeine hit.

4. Protein Drinks With Pizazz

Boosting your protein intake is a great way to help you build muscle, but those water-and-protein-powder concoctions aren’t exactly tasty. Make a Ninja Precision Blender your best gym buddy and you can add a few fresh ingredients to your powdered supplements to create nutrient-dense and delicious protein smoothies. With your Sip & Seal Lid on hand, you can even whip up a pre-workout smoothie for your walk to the gym.

NINJA TIP: The Ninja Precision Blender makes light work of the toughest ingredients, so add a handful of nuts to your smoothie for an extra protein hit.
