  • John from www.okraw.com/ shares with you how you can hack your nutribullet for about $20 in parts to get 3x more of certain micro nutrients when making your nutriblast recipes.
    In this episode, John will share with you a $20 hack he did on the nutribullet to turn it into a vacuum blender that puts less air in your smoothies and preserves more nutrients.
    First, you will learn the downside of all blenders, including the nutribullet that nobody ever told you about.
    Next, John will show you an example of how blending under a vacuum can reduce the amount of air in your smoothies. Which will reduce the oxidative damage to some of the valuable phytonutrients.
    Next, you will discover how vacuum blending simply water with an apple in the Nutri bullet will cause massive oxidation to the apple, and how the $20 anti-oxidation hack will negate much of the oxidative damage during and after blending.
    Next, you will learn how to hack your blender, with a drill, a vacuum storage kit, and cork plugs.
    Finally, John will share with you the proper way to use your newly hacked nutribullet to make your smoothies with less air, better texture, and 3x more of key phytonutrients that may help you lose weight, have more energy or fight disease.
    After watching this episode, you will learn how you can easily hack your nutribullet blender to turn it into a vacuum blender for about $20.

    This is my second Magic bullet, and I have to admit that for the price it delivers really well ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCKuMxLnvr6fJd_M4SE-n7trcGj3zEUHq Considering that there are other products twice and even four times more expensive, I think that for one person this is just right. The only problem is that you have to make sure that your vegetables and ice are cut into small pieces because it won't chop and blend well. I made the mistake of putting whole baby carrots with a cup of mixed greens, and it wasn't pretty.. Also be careful not to overfill it, because it will overflow. As long as you follow the manufacturer's instructions for use, you should be happy with this purchase.

    Hi John. LOVE your channels! I'm a scientist and can tell you that oxidation can also be significantly reduced if you add fresh lime or lemon juice before blending.
    Still, I'm going to make the modification. Thanks!

      Zedo they have the cure for cancer, they just dont want to share it because everyone is getting rich off people dying. its like chemo, they dont need to use it but it makes them tons of money. Do your research, it will break your heart. Especially when you see wee children dying because of greed. We wouldnt have cancer if they didnt put poisons in our water, air, and food. Perhaps you could become an honest scientist that goes into politics. Oh and there is not global warming. Find the trail the money leaves and you will find the greedy people lying to America and the world.

    @Azariah437 7 років тому +16

    Hey John. You could probably glue on some little "legs" to the bottom of your cup that are a little longer than the cork (when inserted into the cup) so that you can set the cup upright without it tipping.
    This was a great video by the way. I never thought about this issue of oxidation before. And I really appreciate that you've continued all these years in letting God use you in such a loving way to share with others the gifts He's given to you.

    Thanks for the info. Was looking into buying a new vacuum blender and this saved me $$$. Got the valves you recommended and the 21/64 drill bit. Worked like a charm. I found I didn't need the cork. The valve does not leak in either vacuumed or non vacuumed state.

    Awesome video! for anyone attempting this you can purchase or use a hose from a ziploc vacuum sealer to vacuum out the air instead of the hand pump.

  • @alexjones5396
    @alexjones5396 4 роки тому +1

    Great idea. Tried it out on my Nutri Ninja 24 oz cup. Installed the vacuum valve and used the hand pump. Worked great. Next I disassembled the hand pump and attached to my Foodsaver FreshSaver Handheld Vacuum Sealing System electric pump. Pushed the button on the pump and it worked just as well as the original hand pump, but now no manual pumping. Thanks for sharing!

    Relax. As a practising nutritionist I can say with confidence that you should blend and consume immediately. Minimal loss of nutrients due to oxidation.
    The nutri bullet and all the other clones on the market are not designed for long term storage. Just as when you cut an apple, you don't let it sit on a plate until it goes brown. If you're really concerned, you should just add a bit of fresh lemon, lime or other citrus juice or pieces to the mix.

    Thank you for the simple vacuum method, John. I am so aware of the oxidisation of my smoothies and of how much air I am swallowing with each one I drink because I feel bloated and uncomfortable afterwards plus my blueberry (for instance) smoothies go brown very fast and don't stay purple because of instant oxidisation. Ever since you showed us the Kuvings vacuum blender I have really wanted one! Also, an idea, couldn't the vacuum be pumped once again after the blending to get more air out? I would do that. I have a nutribullet but have not used it for a couple years since i bought my large high-speed blender.

    @godofm3tal1 6 років тому +1

    Also, pro tip, to avoid such heavy oxidation in a vitamix or other high speed blender, blend on high just enough to get the ingredients fully broken down and incorporated into the mixture (10 seconds or so) then finish out the blend on just enough power to keep the mixture churning so it's pulling the liquid down into the blades for about 40 seconds. At this speed the blender will still do a good enough job of pulverizing the contents but will not be as violent and over blended. Produces a final product that's much less foamy and more smooth and creamy. Which helps with this over oxidation problem that's trending so big right now.

Looks like I'll have to drill a bigger hole in the nutribullet. Does anyone know what the diameter of the opening is on a standard wine bottle?

    I bet most people using a nutribullet are already eating better than those not using one. Probably not make much difference to do this for me. I use mine mostly for making cream sauces with cashews, nooch and some spices. I eat most of my foods whole.
