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.

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 assemblies.

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.

SHREDDING

SLICING

GRATING DISC
The grating disc is ideal for outputs like grated Parmesan cheese.

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

FOOD PREP TIPS

5″

Trim ingredients so they are in 4″ to 5″ pieces

5″

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.
12

Dough Blade Assembly

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.

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Install the disc spindle in the 72-ounce Pitcher. Place the Reversible Slicing/Shredding Disc, shredding side up, on the spindle. Install the feed chute lid and place the cheese in the feed chute. Select DISC and press START/STOP. Use the pusher to push the cheese through the chute. When processing is complete, remove the lid, disc, and spindle. Transfer cheese to a bowl and set aside.

5. Arrange the tomatoes on top of the cheese, then season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Fold the edges of the dough up and over filling, overlapping as needed to create a 1 1/2-inch crust.
6. Brush the dough with the egg, then chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
7. After 10 minutes, place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 1 hour, rotating halfway through. When cooking is complete, remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.
