Using the Nutrient

*Extraction Cup*
Tips to help you create smoothies and nutrient extractions to take on the go.
Use the SMOOTHIE program to combine your favorite fresh or frozen ingredients, liquids, and powders.
Use the EXTRACT* program for tough, leafy, or fibrous whole fruits and vegetables, including their skins, seeds, and stems.

Load it up

Do not go past the MAX LIQUID line when loading the cup.
Overfilling ingredients may harm the unit when in use. If you feel resistance when attaching the Hybrid Edge™ Blades Assembly to the cup, remove some ingredients.

• Top off with ice or frozen ingredients.
• Next add any dry or sticky ingredients like seeds, powders, and nut butters.
• Pour in liquid or yogurt next.
• For thinner results or a juice-like drink, add more liquid as desired.
• Next add leafy greens and herbs.
• Start by adding fresh fruits and vegetables.

PREP TIPS
For best results, cut ingredients in 1″ pieces. Place frozen ingredients in the cup last.

Introducing the XL Smoothie Bowl Maker

It’s never been easier to create thick and spoonable smoothie bowls, nut butters, and more. All you have to do is twist the built-in tamper while blending to push ingredients down toward the blade.

DID YOU KNOW?
Smoothie bowls are thicker & spoonable, compared to smoothies which are thinner & drinkable.

Smoothie bowl for one

USING THE XL SMOOTHIE BOWL MAKER

   ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST.

2. Add frozen fruit, directly from freezer, and/or açaí or dragon fruit packets, up to the MAX FILL line. Cut larger fruit, like bananas, in quarters. If using açaí or dragon fruit packets, thaw slightly and cut in quarters.

3.  (Optional)
   Amplify your base by adding 1 scoop of yogurt, flavor powder, protein powder, and/or nut butter.

4. Screw on the blade assembly and install the bowl on the motor base.

Blending 101

Tips to set yourself up for blending success.

Do not go past the MAX LIQUID line when loading the pitcher.
Overfilling the pitcher with ingredients may harm the unit when in use. For best and smoothest results, follow the loading order below.

• Top off with ice or frozen ingredients.
• Next add any dry or sticky ingredients like seeds, powders, and nut butters.
• Pour in liquid or yogurt next. For thinner results or a juice-like drink, add more liquid.
• Next add leafy greens and herbs.
• Start with fresh fruits and vegetables. For best results, cut into 1″ pieces.

NOTE: When using the stacked blade assembly, use the flat lid.

Chopping Prep 101

Tips to simplify your food processing and chopping.

Total Crushing® and Chopping Blade Assembly (Stacked Blade)

PREPPING VEGETABLES

• Cut both ends off ingredients and remove any outer peels or skins.
• Cut ingredients such as carrots, cucumber, celery, and zucchini in 2″ pieces, and broccoli or cauliflower florets into 1″ pieces. Cut ingredients such as onions in quarters.

PREPPING MEAT
Trim excess fat and connective tissue. Cut meat in 2″ cubes.

CHOP PROGRAM

• Timed pulses and pauses give you consistent chopping results.
• Run program once for a large chop, twice for a small chop, and three times for a mince.

WARNING: Stacked Blade Assembly is sharp and not locked in place. Before pouring, carefully remove Stacked Blade Assembly. Failure to do so will result in a risk of laceration. Refer to the Ninja Owner’s Guide for additional information.

Food Processing 101

Tips and tricks for the disc assembly.
NOTE: Install the disc spindle in the pitcher before installing the disc assembly.

REVERSIBLE SLICING/SHREDDING DISC
The reversible slicing/shredding disc is perfect for outputs like thinly sliced cucumbers and shredded carrots. Face the side labeled “slicer” up for slicing and face the side labeled “shredder” up for shredding.

WARNING: DO NOT process ingredients past the DISC MAX line.
WARNING: Ensure cheese is well chilled before slicing/shredding. DO NOT slice or shred frozen cheese.

FOOD PREP TIPS

 Trim ingredients so they are in 4″ to 5″ pieces or slightly over the height of the feed chute.
DO NOT cut ingredients smaller than the height of the feed chute.
Cut both ends off ingredients to create flat surfaces. Trim tapered ingredients like carrots to make them more symmetrical.
Larger ingredients, such as potatoes, may need to be cut in half lengthwise.

USING THE 2-PART PUSHER
Use the 2-part food pusher to help guide the food through the feed chute. The middle piece of the food pusher is removable to use for narrow ingredients, such as carrots. Rotate the top clockwise and lift to separate the pieces.

Dough basics 101

Tips and tricks for creating the perfect dough.

KNEADING
Once a dough ball forms, remove it from the pitcher and place it on a lightly floured surface. Hand-knead the dough ball by folding the dough in half toward you. Then, using the palms of your hands, push the dough away from you. Re- fold, then turn dough ball 45 degrees and repeat.
Kneading is complete when the dough is no longer sticky, is smooth on the outside, and bounces back when pressed with your fingers.

PROOFING
Usually done for breads, proofing is when the dough is allowed to rest and rise one last time before baking. It gives bread a light and airy texture.
To create ideal proofing conditions, heat oven to 170°F. Place dough ball in a greased oven-safe bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Once the oven has reached temperature, turn the oven off and place the bowl in the oven. Allow to proof in the residual heat until dough has doubled in size.

For best dough mixing results, do not exceed the MAX dough lines, DOUGH MAX and COOKIE MAX, when filling the Pitcher.
If a recipe exceeds these MAX lines, we recommend reducing the recipe by half. Refer to the chart below for unit conversions.
