Boost Your Smoothies With The NINJA Nutri Auto-IQ Blender Duo!

DISCLOSURE: THIS IS A SPONSORED POST.

If you like making your own smoothies, you're going to LOVE the NINJA Nutri Auto-IQ blender.  Since getting my blender, I've been on a smoothie-making kick.  It's so easy to use and the smoothies come out super smooth and yummy.

The set that I received contains the full-size blender and also 2 travel mugs.  The greatest thing about the mugs are the lids. There's the normal travel lids, but there's also the additional pro extractor lid, which has the attached blades and it's amazing.  It will blend anything you throw into the cup with no problem at all.  If you're the only person in the home who drinks smoothies, this is a great feature.  I can make one smoothie at a time if I'm in a hurry and don't have the time to make a whole pitcher.

The blades on this blender are amazing.  I've made pesto twice with fresh basil, pine nuts, etc, and the blender does an amazing job with the basil leaves.  Other blenders I've owned either chewed up the basil or just barely blended it and left big chunks floating in the mixture.  With the Nutri Ninja, I can now make a great looking and tasting pesto.

The base is very easy to use and there's super strong suction cups on the bottom of the base.  This keeps it firmly in place during use.  I love the layout of the buttons, and the smooth boost button is awesome.  You won't have to worry about picking the wrong function.  It's basically fool-proof. The large pitcher connects to the base easily and the lid locks into place and also features a cool corner which pops open for spill-proof pouring.

From the Company:

Auto-IQ Technology has set a new standard in drink and meal-making.  At the touch of a button, Auto-iQ's pre-set programs easily whip up your favorite recipes.  Not content with good enough?  Smooth Boost technology one-ups the genius of Auto-iQ, giving you the power to customize the texture of everything from juices and smoothies to delectable dips and doughs.

Smooth Boost feature breaks down fruits and veggies for ultra-creamy results!

Any negatives? The only drawback I've noticed is the sound when it's in use.  It can be quite loud.  However, in my opinion the performance makes up for a few seconds of noise.  

Bottom line? This blender is the perfect choice for smoothies, pesto, sauces, milkshakes... really the list is endless.  Also, if you have more than 2 people in your family, you can purchase additional mugs and other accessories. I received the blender free for review consideration, but I wouldn`t hesitate in buying it again and recommending it to family and friends.

-Blender Base (1200 watt / 1.6HP)

-72 OZ Blender Pitcher 

-(2) 24 OZ Nutri Ninja Tritan Cups

-(2) Sip and Seal Lids

Antique Wooden Jewelry Boxes: A Perfect Gift Idea!

I'm in love with this antique wooden box set by Valdler. There's so many ways to use these boxes and they have a great antique vibe; not like some of those "wanna-be" antique items that look fake from a mile away.  These boxes actually look and feel like something passed down through the family. They're well-made and have beautiful brass-like finishes.

Clean Like A Pro with Zep!

As a member of Crowdtap,  I was given the opportunity from Zep Commercial to try out a couple of their cleaners. This was the first time trying Zep cleaning products, so I was excited to see how they would perform next to my usual cleaners.  

Zep All Around Oxy Cleaner and Degreaser:

"Versatile multipurpose cleaner with Oxy action to tackle tough stains and Degreasing action to break up grime. Perfect for daily use in kitchens, bathrooms, and throughout the home, yet safe on delicate materials such as upholstery and granite.

• Powers out stains & grease
• Safe on granite, upholstery and more
• No harsh fumes

Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant:

"Quick Clean Disinfectant kills 99.9% of bacteria in just 5 seconds. Additionally, Quick Clean kills Rhinovirus, causative agent of the common cold. Safe on virtually all hard, non porous surfaces, Quick Clean is perfect for disinfecting kitchens, sinks, stove tops, appliances, bathrooms & floors."

• Effective virucide, kills cold (rhinovirus) & flu virus, HIV, Canine Parvovirus

My thoughts after using both cleaners:

The All Around Cleaner and Degreaser is perfect for everyday use and works great on tile, stainless steel, porcelain and several other surfaces around the house or office.  I used it on the inside of my microwave.  I noticed it worked extremely fast and it was very easy to wipe it clean.  It's become the cleaner I reach to grab while cleaning in the kitchen and it works great to cut through the grease on the stove top.

The Quick Clean Disinfectant is a perfect disinfectant to have around the house or office, especially during cold and flu season! After finding out all the bacteria it kills, it's another cleaner I've found myself grabbing in the kitchen.  I use it to wipe down the counters after cooking, especially after having chicken and beef around the kitchen counters.  It's a great all-in-one cleaner/disinfectant!

Chap Stick Hydration Lock: Put Your Lips First!

At any given moment, you will find 3-4 tubes of chap sticks and that many or more lip glosses in my bag.  Yes, I may have a small addiction to lip products!  After Smiley360 sent the new Hydration Lock, Dual Ended Chap Stick, I actually downsized my "lippie bag" and I've just been carrying this chap stick.

Skintimate Mandarin Burst: Smoother Legs for Summer!

I received a sample of the new Mandarin Burst Skintimate Shave Gel from Crowd Tap a couple weeks ago.  As usual, Skintimate did not disappoint!  Skintimate Shave Gel is always in my shower, and I love the new Mandarin Scent.  

I can always count on Skintimate to give me a close and smooth shave and my legs feel extremely smooth and hydrated.  I will definitely pick up another bottle of the mandarin scent after using this one.  It has such a clean, summer-time scent, plus my legs have never felt smoother.

Sargento Vox Box from Influenster

3 months after joining Influenster, I finally received my very first Vox Box!  How exciting!!  I must confess, I have done a lot of reviews in the past 3 months, so I was a little disappointed when I didn't receive the Ja'dore Box in Feb.  But, all of you fellow Influensters were right... just keep reviewing and sharing.  It worked! 

In the Sargento box, I received a cute lunchbox tote.  It's a great size, and I'm sure I can use it to carry my lunch to work.  I also received a voucher for free packs of Sargento Cheese. Once I redeem the voucher, I start the process on Influenster of sharing and reviewing.  I hope after doing all these steps, I will qualify for more boxes in the future.

 "I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."
