    Just a heads up for those of you now with a Nutribullet.
    There is a website https://www.nutriliving.com that has LOADS of info including recipes and forum. You have to enter your nutribullet reg. no to access.

    One of the things that I thought was a great idea was nutribullet for kids that don't like greens. Let's face it many children don't like eating their greens.

    As I said in earlier posts TBH I used 50% green veggies with fruits & couldn't taste the veggies. However some have gone further than this and use cacao (they recommend Green & blacks cocoa powder) to make a chocolate tasting smoothie type (with water) which their children love. Food for thought if any of you struggle getting their children to eat their 5 a day!

    Still well pleased, a day later :), This is staying on worktop and will be used daily.

    I notice that the original linky I posted now still has the nutribullet at £79.99 BUT now with the £30 worth of supplements missing! :( I guess it was too good an offer!

    Thanks for the link. I haven't had a chance to read back on the thread since yesterday, but I agree with what you say about not being able to taste the veggies when you add fruit. I haven't used the sachets yet, but did add some porridge oats to one I made. I intend to use mine every day too. Just need a cheap source of spinach now :)

    ps where is the reg number? TIA

    I'm not one to listen in to others conversations ...but this morning whilst sat in T cafe I couldn't help but hook into the one on the next table...


    Couple were discussing vegetarian options and benefits of converting whilst tucking into their sandwiches....discussion continues and I listen in until one innocently looks up to the other and says
    "so does bacon contain meat then....?"




    didnt hear the reply as my tea spluttered all over the table and I had to dive for a tissue!

    It's on a very small label on the bottom of the machine. White with black print.
    Spinach can nearly always be found in one of the supermarkets marked down to 10p ish at whoopsie time. This is going to be SO economical for us to use daily at very low cost. The only thing is I'm going to have to shop more often for whoopsies. Have loads of canned fruit if I don't find any fruit (I always try and buy in juice) plus you can use brussel sprouts or broccoli from the freezer as a green veg.

    My DH asks me not to do these cashback offers on websites and because of that I never will :)
    I think he has a family member who has or had a big problem with gambling and I've seen the profits from a family members business fill up one armed bandits many years ago so am pretty good at knowing my limits :o (if I go to bingo for the night it rarely costs me more than a fiver :D )

    No idea what I'm trying to say :o

    Ive just had a message from TS......

    She has found the £1 Johnsons Daily Essentials Night Cream that was expired on grabbit. It's scanning at 40p, even though the SEL says £1. In superdrug that is.

    I haven't been keeping up....so I didn't know about it in the first place :o but message duly passed on! :D

    Would I recommend Halifax Bank? Yes to keep grabbing their £5 monthly Reward, no for their competence - they are frankly useless! How many times should one complete an instruction for children's regular saver accounts to be paid tax free? Once on sign up? The following year when they have taken tax and you have traipsed into town (as you have to go in branch to manage the account) and then had to go through the rigmarole with HMRC to get the tax back? Same again the following year? Or now for the THIRD year running having to go through the same process AGAIN to get tax refunded from HMRC and to get Halifax to apply it to the accounts (AGAIN) and have to traipse into town AGAIN for them to do their job properly.

    Rant over :mad:

    Thanks, will get DS to read it out to me :rotfl::rotfl:
    By the way, I am still not 100% sure about what to do with the skin/peel - did you peel the clementine first? Sorry if that's a stupid question :)
