  • okay, so from previous videos and many videos from others, we know that the Nama J2 is awesome! That goes without saying. But why not say it? The Nama J2 is AMAZING! So last time I wanted to make a smoothie bowl (and I did), but it was more like a sorbet. This time we are aiming for a regular smoothie...a go get your straw and drink it smoothie. So let's see what happens. And this is my first time trying it this way, so bear with me if it isn't perfect. :)
    Smoothie Recipe:
    - 1 frozen banana
    - 10 oz. frozen strawberries
    - 1/2 cup almond milk
    - 1 1/2 cup pineapple carrot juice
    Pineapple Carrot Juice Recipe:
    - 1 pineapple
    - 6 large carrots
    - 1/2 cup coconut water

    P.S. The videos of me using frozen fruit are me experimenting. Technically speaking you aren't supposed to use frozen fruits in the J2. 🤷🏾‍♀️ While I've never had a single problem, I am just putting that disclaimer out there.

    There's different kinds of smoothies, and I think some folks get confused by all the different kinds.
    1) Frozen smoothies [either using ice or using frozen fruit], probably not the right machine for those.
    2) Fruit/veggie 'puree' smoothie [with the whole fruit, all pulp, etc.]? Blender is probably better for that.
    3) Juice smoothies [think Odwalla, Naked, Bolthouse Farms, etc.]? I think these are what the J2 is probably aiming for. A thick, slightly pulpy, 'juice' smoothie, that's slightly short of what you'd get from a blender smoothie, but more than what you'd get from just a pure filtered 'juice'.

    • @MGmirkin
      @MGmirkin 11 місяців тому

      Would like it if someone would do a direct comparison between the J2 using the regular "juice" filter and the "smoothie" filter on the same things [non-frozen].
      Like do they both come out as just "juice," or does the smoothie filter actually come out as slightly thicker pulpier juice [and, how significant is the difference], more like an "Odwalla"/"Naked"/"Bolthouse" juice smoothie?

    I think Nama juice extractor is not good for smoothies. Vitamix is the high power blender and it’s best for smoothies. Or even Nutribullet is good for smoothies.I cannot remember how much I paid for my Vitamix.maybe over $600 something but Nurtibullet is around $179. I think and it does a good job. Don’t waste your fruits by using Nama. Hope you don’t mind me saying these things. Sorry. Enjoy your juices though. 🇨🇦🍁💕

    • @CuzItsVegan
      @CuzItsVegan  2 роки тому +10

      I don't mind you saying anything lol 🤣. I personally don't think I wasted my fruit when I tried this. There was no "pulp" when I made my smoothie, it got all my ingredients. So nothing wasted in my opinion. BUT I don't use the Nama for smoothies. I just tried for video sake since it comes with a smoothie strainer. Lots of people had questions about it since they didn't advertise that. But I did say I recommend using your blender if you have one because the clean up process to me is not worth it.

    I don’t see a point if you also now need to blend. I’ll stick to my Vitamix for smoothies and juice in my Nama J2. The smoothie strainer really is just fkr juice with more pulp in my opinion. I’m thinking they should not have called it a smoothie strainer basket.

    J2 does NOT have a SMOOTHIE screen, that is a FRUIT screen that is why fiber still comes out

    Juicers rip all the fiber out. Can't stand juicers. Useless.

    • @CuzItsVegan
      @CuzItsVegan  2 роки тому +15

      Interesting perspective! Sorry you feel that way, but I guess that's your POV 🤷🏾‍♀️😌.
      I personally do not believe they are useless. Yes there is the lack of fiber, but there is not a lack of nutrients. In fact, the nutrients enter your system much quicker when you juice, which is really good for people who are wanting weight loss or even those who are sick. Also. If someone likes drinking juice (like me), then a juicer would be the way to go! There are plenty of useless things in this world, but I do not think juicers are one of them. Not to mention this video was about me making a Smoothie, which was a success, so the Nama is full of use 😁

    • @huitrecouture
      @huitrecouture 2 роки тому

      You don't know what you're talking about and obviously don't have a clue about soluble versus insoluble, useless troll. Try reading a book. Furthermore, they give you a screen with larger holes if you want more fiber for a "smoothie" which is what she was using.

    • @PhatBoyiee
      @PhatBoyiee 2 роки тому +4

      Question? The centrifugal juicers oxidized the fruits and vegetables. The masticating juicers still keeps some of the fiber. If you need the fiber couldn’t you just eat the pulp that comes out? If you hate juicers what do you use? Do you just eat the fruit and vegetables? Your comment does not make sense! Have you ever used a good juicer like the Nama J2?

      then why are you wasting your time on useless shit like watching a video of a juicer. you can't stand?? and then offering your unsolicited opinion. just to hear yourself talk. all you have to do is add back the fiber into the smoothie if that's what you want..easy peasy

    • @Yalilsacret1111
      @Yalilsacret1111 Рік тому +3

      Cold pressed juicers removed most of the insoluble fiber but the soluble fiber is still in the juice. Juice allows for easier absorbing of the minerals and nutrients without being taxing on the digestive system. It’s definitely not useless for me at least. I use my vitamins as well as my juicer.
