For all those who enjoy making their own smoothies and desserts, mixing all those healthy ingredients into a whole new original concoction, Magic Bullet has you covered with its compact blender.
This review is for the Magic Bullet Blender 11 Piece Set.
Key Features and Included Items
• 250-Watt Motor Base
• 1 Cross Cutting Blade
• 1 Tall Cup
• 1 Party Mug
• 1 Short Cup
• 2 Lip Rings
• 2 Stay-Fresh Resealable Lids
• 1 To-go Lid
• 1 Recipe Guide
We’re not sure why the product description uses the word “small”, because you actually get 3 cups with a lot of capacity. The Tall Cup is 18 ounces, the Party Mug is 16 ounces, and the Short Cup is 12 ounces.
However, it is small in the sense that it takes up very little room on your countertop. It chops, mixes, blends, whips, grinds and more. It has a high-torque motor that easily creates your juices, omelets, sauces and dips.
The secret to how it works is a specially designed blade. When this blade spins around, it creates a cyclonic action as your food items spin around inside the bullet shaped blender.
A recipe book is included with your Magic Bullet to get you started making quick, easy, and delicious dishes from appetizers to desserts.
Magic Buller components are very easy to clean. You simply rinse them with soap and water. Most of the Magic Bullet Blender components are dishwasher safe.
A Starter Juice Recipe:
A simple nutritious juicing recipe is to place a small amount of greens or a green vegetable in the bottom of your Magic Bullet. The greens will have a bitter taste, but you’ll only be using a small amount and you’ll sweeten your drink up with other items.
Then place in some carrots, apple, strawberries, blueberries etc. Although a carrot is a vegetable, it actually has a sweet taste when used in a juice. The other fruits will also give more sweetness to offset the bitterness of the greens.
Then add 1/2 cup of water and blend for about 60 seconds. You can experiment with different fruits to get the taste you like.
Why Having Your Own Juicer is the Best Way to Go
Juice that you buy in the grocery store often isn’t very nutritious, even when they put words like “real juice” on the label. If you look at the ingredient list, you might even find the first two listings are water and high fructose corn syrup!
A lot of these store-bought juices only contain from 5 to 7% actual juice. Along with all the sugar they add, they also may contain very little fiber. The juice may also be pasteurized, which basically means heating up the juice to destroy bacteria. It makes it more shelf stable, but the beneficial enzymes and micronutrients are destroyed.
With your Magic Bullet Blender, you can make your own juice from actual fruits, vegetables and other ingredients. As mentioned in our YouTube video, there are very detailed juicing recipe books available. There are different fruit/vegetable combinations you can try for different health conditions.
Our article Juicing At Home has a lot more information about juicing and different types of juicers.
Would you like more power in your juicer?
Some people say this Magic Bullet model may struggle a little with frozen items, because it’s only 250 watts. NutriBullet, which you may have seen in infomercials back in the day, has 600-Watt, 900 Watt, and even 1200-Watt models. Magic Bullet and NutriBullet are both made by the same company, Capital Brands.
NutriBullet Original is a little larger than the Magic Bullet. It comes with a 24-ounce cup, so you can blend larger amounts at one time. However, if you want more than one cup included, you’ll have to go with the 900 Watt or 1200-Watt models.
Also keep in mind that Magic Bullet cups and NutriBullet cups are not interchangeable. The NutriBullet cups and blade attachments are bigger.
What do users like most about the Magic Bullet Blender?
Many people say this 11-piece set has everything you need to blend, chop, and mix.

Is this worth buying?
If you want to eat healthier, you need to get this blender. Buying and blending fresh fruits and vegetables is a lot better than consuming store bought “juices”.
Most people will get a lot of use out of the Magic Bullet Blender, so it’s definitely worth the price. It takes up very little room in your kitchen, since it’s slightly under a foot tall and only 4 1/2 inches wide.
You get a variety of cup sizes that are microwave and dishwasher safe. It’s also easy to clean the parts with soap and water in your sink. By using the included recipe book and others that are available, you’ll come up with lots of ideas for smoothies and healthy fruit and vegetable combinations.
If you want to make larger portions at one time, have a large family, and/or just want more power, you can go with one of the NutriBullet models.
