Early mornings rushing out the door to work or the gym can be the hardest days to give yourself a proper breakfast. Sometimes overnight oats get old or you need more than just a cup of yogurt and coffee at the office. This summer and fall have been some of the busiest seasons of my life. One thing I’ve been undoubtedly grateful for has been my Ninja Nutri  Pro Compact Personal Blender, a compact personal blender perfect for single servings. From busy mornings to rushed afternoons, being able to throw together a quick meal has been a game changer for me.

The Nutri Pro has a power 1100-peak-watt motor that blasts through frozen ingredients, two preset programs that combine pulsing and pausing patterns to pulverize ingredients without human input. Fill the blender with your favorite smoothie ingredients — banana, peanut butter, chocolate protein powder and almond milk are the base of my best creations — and select your desired setting. The NutriPro does the rest!

Not only does the Nutri Pro come with two single serve blending cups and spout lids, but these are great for decreasing dirty dishes and truly support an on-the-go lifestyle. Since the ingredients are combined and blended all in the same cup you’re drinking from, you can save time dealing with annoying and hard to wash parts and spend more time doing the things that light you up in life. Throw all the elements into the dishwasher when you’re done and that’s it! The Nutri Pro is small enough to not eat up counter space but packs a serious punch when it comes to the power behind the motor. I find that this blender makes the smoothest and thickest smoothies — just the way I like them!

Lost on what smoothies to make? The Ninja Nutri Pro Compact Personal Blender comes with a booklet of recipe ideas to entice all appetites. If you’re looking for more inspiration, check out previous recipes provided by the YOGA + Life team, here on our website. Happy blending!
