will this blend beets, kale, carrots, and seeds into a drink like the nutri bullet ?

I doubt it. The area of the container near the blades is very small. I predict a green sludgey mess will result.

I don't know about the veggies, but I blend large frozen fruit everyday. It is a heavy duty blender. Just two speeds, but very efficient.

Good luck...I returned this piece of junk and finally got a Vitamix! If you are into blending hearty veggies like those (as I am), then you should invest in a Vitamix or Blendtec. You won't regret it! :)

If I knew what a nutri bullet is, I could answer clearly. However, we have used a Waring Blender for over 55 years; and have ALWAYS gotten a 'smoothie' that we could drink thru a 1/4 inch diameter straw....hope this answer helps!

if the beets are pre cooked, it should do fine. I use for smoothies but not for major food processing. Had over a year now, and the motor is smelling a bit, but still works good. I have a separate blender for processing.

I tried coarsely chopped raw carrots in a couple of smoothies and it blended them nicely. Kale is fine, too. Haven't tried beets or seeds, but they are probably OK.I am not a fan of this blender, but it is doing the job right now, which for me is making smoothies.

I wrap the parsley tightly and place in shoot to blend with two other thicker vegetables, like carrots, apples or celery. It juices better than by itself.

Oh sure, I put in about a cup to a cup an a half of kale or spinach, and then about a half of cup whichever berries are in season, I'll also add any other veggies I need to use up, likes cukes, peppers, celery, etc. I put one big scoop of the plant fusion, plus a couple tablespoons of ground flaxseed. Blend well!

No - while the Nutri Bullet does a great job with the blending process. It doesn't generate enough heat to harm the nutrients in the food.

I did a lot of research on Beet Root Juice (powder) before I started using it. Yes, you can do this. Experts actually suggest mixing Beet Root Juice with other Fruit or Vegetables Juices. You should accomplish what you want.

I dont think there is much of difference. You can actually mix in the cup and then drink from it. less clean up. We use frozen fruits for smoothies so why not veggies. If you want smoothies bullet is what you want.

Does not liquify vegetables to the extent an extractor juicer would since the pulp/fiber is still there. I blended 3 bell peppers after seeding them with no liquid added and it finely chopped them. Added few carrots and it finely chopped. Added apple after coring and the juice from the apple made it into a pure. To this added cup of apple juice and this made it into a tasty healthy slurpee. In answer to your question, you can process vegetables in the Ninja to make consistency to drink (also chopping, etc according to amount of pulsing you do). If you want the liquid only, you will need the extractor type such as a Hurom that gives you only the liquid and spits out the pulp.

I bought this for my sister and only had the chance to use it once at her house. I blended frozen strawberries and it had a little trouble. I think as long as the carrots weren't frozen it could probably do it.

This is still a blender as opposed to a juicer. You would still have to add water to help with the blending process, but overall you would likely end up with carrot juice-albeit diluted a bit by the water. I consistently use the 3HP to make smoothies that are pretty much all liquid.

The NutriBullet blends the apple into a smoothie like texture. It is not a juicer; it does not separate the fiber/pulp from fruits, but the results are so smooth and delicious that it is like having a jamba juice or Naked Juice. The amount of water you add will determine how thick your drink is. It is a fantastic product!

Yes it does blend them to smoothie consistency. In fact yesterday I put in a block of frozen raspberries with coconut milk and it made a delicious smoothy. I even chopped link sausage in it yesterday.

Oh yes! The trick is to pile your kale together with a juicy fruit like apples or pears. Pack a handful of the kale into the chute first, then cut and quarter your apples and put two or 3 of those on top of the kale (depending on the size of the apple) then push through. You'll then have nice dark green juice in your cup! I do this with all my greens. Nice tip: Save some of the kale pulp and mix with very ripe avocados. Makes an excellent guacamole!Hope this helps!Ta!

Yes, I have this blender for more then a year now, I use it everyday for my morning drink. including beets, carrot, apple or more...I like it so far, pretty powerful. only some problem in the beginning with the switches and I sent it in and they fixed it. still working great so far. (it can blend nuts too).

We make fresh salsa with our garden veggies all the time. We also make our own V8 type juice with carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, celery, etc, so I'm sure the Ninja would handle kale just fine.

I never tried that, but it does an adequate job with frozen fruits (while they are still frozen), so I would think this item would be a good and inexpensive way to blend cooked fruits and veggies for the wee one.

Yes, I have even used raw beets in a juice drink and the vita mix did well. No chunks, totally blended smooth. Of course the recipe would have another liquid in it.

I've not tried those particular seeds, but I will say the smoothies we make with raspberries are very seedy and it doesn't seem to matter how long you blend it, they are still seedy. Hope this helps.
