-Hey guys! Welcome to Make It Dairy Free. I am Larisha.
-I am Andrew and today we are not only creating a delicious recipe for you to try out
-yeah but we're also going to be reviewing and trying out the
brand new NutriBullet Smart Touch Blender. -This video is sponsored by NutriBullet but
the thoughts and opinions are our own. -We wanted to make this video just to bring
some more awareness to what other options are out there when you may be shopping for a blender.
-Also to share the creativity of what you can actually make inside of a blender.
-Like as vegans we use a blender a whole bunch -Yup
-but like what besides smoothies can we actually you know make inside of a blender?
-soups -pesto
-nut butters -nice cream
-ice creams -uh salsa
-oh nut milks -yeah duh (laughs)
-I honestly think i can go pretty much like an entire week
without using any other kitchen appliance. -You have gone an entire week without using
any other appliance. Without further ado let's jump right into the unboxing part
of this and show you what you get when you order a NutriBullet Smart
Touch Blender. (upbeat music)
-Okay, just really quickly exactly what we got inside of the box There is the base,
there is your 64-ounce pitcher, you have a 32-ounce travel cup, and you also have a 20-ounce
travel cup. It comes with a tamper. There are, sorry (laughs). There are two travel lids and then
it comes with obviously the instruction manual but there is also a recipe book inside of here.
-Nice. Tell me why, whoa -They're suctioning on the bottom (laughs)
-So it won't move when it blends obviously because it won't even move when you turn it. Um but why is
this called the NutriBullet Smart Touch Blender? -Uh right, because it doesn't even look like
there's any buttons to do anything right? -Honestly I was gonna say I I see nothing
here it's actually pretty cool. -Right so it actually needs to be
turned on um but it has these programs once once you turn it on and they are to do soup.
-okay - frozen drinks, smoothies, and then purees or
you know dips that type of thing. -Nice!
-but it is all touch screen -We chose to make a vegan cashew queso
in this blender and the reason why that is is because we actually want to test its performance.
-Typically when you use cashews in a recipe as a sauce you need to soak them for a really long
time. 30 minutes in boiling hot water or you need to let it soak overnight
to get that like super smooth creamy sauce. -Yup. The fact that this is supposed to be a
high-powered blender that we would go ahead and try to just skip that step of soaking it right?
-Right -Ultimately we're going to try to turn a
35-minute recipe into a five-minute recipe. -Right. So are you ready?
-Let's see what it could do. -Let's do this
(Upbeat music playing)
(Larisha)
To make our cashew queso we are going to start with raw cashews.
You don't want to use roasted cashews as it will totally change the taste of this recipe.
Next add in nutritional yeast which is going to help with that cheesy flavor and then our spices.
We're adding salt, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper,
and dried oregano. Then adobo chilis for some spice, and some vegan butter.
Next dairy-free milk. We like using oat, but you can use any unsweetened,
dairy-free milk. And then lime juice. Add your lid to your blender and then it's time to blend.
(upbeat music playing)
-All right so we tested the NutriBullet Smart Touch Blender with our brand new
cashew queso recipe. If you are allergic to nuts we do have a bean based nacho cheese recipe on
our website that we will link in the description below. The blender has these smart touch features
that do four settings. Purees, smoothies, frozen drinks, and then soups. We used the puree setting
to make our dip. -Yup
- When you hit the setting it turns on for exactly one minute. It like counts you down
and we were super impressed that after one minute it was really smooth, but we went ahead and just
did it for one more minute just to see if we could get it even smoother, and it was really smooth.
-When you think about it it was two minutes and those cashews were annihilated.
-Yeah -Like it went extremely smooth and this this
looks really beautiful. One thing I'd like to talk about is that with the smart touch
settings there um one of them is a soup setting The reason I want to point that out is because
soups you automatically think of something hot, right? So I I want to say that when you hit that
setting it only goes for like a minute um as we said before. So your soup won't necessarily
come out hot at all. Um it would be slightly warm though because even this after blending the one or
two minutes this this came out fairly warm. -Yeah it did. Um I also want to talk about
the price. And I'm sure everybody else wants to know the price too.
-Yeah. -And I'm sure you want
to know the price too because -Oh, of course.
-you always want to know the price and you actually don't know the price of this right now.
-I have no idea -What do you think the price
is and based on the fact that it is 1500 watts -Okay
-Which is comparable to other high-end high-speed blenders. So like what is your initial thought on
like how much this would be. And let's point out that it does come we didn't actually talk about
this and i said it here so we remembered. Um it has, it comes with the two travel cups. This isn't
extra. Like this isn't an add-on. It's in the box. -Okay.
-And it comes with this base that can fit on either one and it fits directly onto here.
-Oh okay -So all of that is in
the box and comes with it. What is the price? -Huh. Um all right so when you when you say
that because I'm thinking of other comparable blenders that are also high-speed blenders,
high-end blenders, -Yup
-I'm I'm gonna guess it has to be at least $280-300 for this blender.
-Really? I thought you would go much higher. Because
-Really? -Because other other brands
of high-speed blenders are four like $350 400 -It's probably because I've seen the range
and usually yes you can honestly you can get up to like a $600 $700 blender
-Yeah - but usually
ones that are in your home you you hit around that $300 up to probably $400 dollars range
-yeah -but you you kind of asking me to guess so I
was thinking it might be slightly on the lower end -Yeah I just thought like especially adding these
that you might - Okay
-but either way you're still off like -No way
-Pretty high, pretty far off. -I thought I was on ball
-So you said $280 and you're actually going to take $100 off of that.
-Really? -So. The price is $179.99
-No way -And it's on their website which we
will link in the description box below with free shipping. So you don't have to leave your house,
it's $180, comes with all of this stuff, and it blends perfectly in two minutes.
-Yeah I'm cheap so I'll be honest with you that's that's insane.
-Right and I think that the really cool part about this is is that we we've made a lot of recipes
with high speed blenders -Yeah
-and a lot of people say like I don't have that what else can I use?
-Yeah -And now we can give them an
option that isn't going to break the bank, right? - Yeah I mean I mean honestly it's
it's it's it's not your normal just quote-unquote generic blender right.
-Right
-That you could buy um out there and usually probably is like 50 bucks but
it doesn't really do much of anything. -no you still have ice chunks in there
-yeah exactly (laughing) so to to know that you can get this and it's priced
much fairer in in terms of much more reasonably in terms of um you know what folks are looking
for that's that's pretty cool. All right well I'm U'm really impressed with the blender itself and
the price. Um I I can't I can't wait that we can make more with it to be honest with you.
-yeah I I'm really excited to like see what else we can make and how smooth it gets and
stuff like that. -Yeah
-um so we hope you guys like this video. If you haven't already we'd like if you could,
