My Best $100 Purchase?

NutriBullet 1200W Blender Combo

Years ago, friends of mine introduced me to the NutriBullet single-serve blender. Later, it showed up as a best $100 purchase in Tim Ferriss's book "Tools of Titans". I've been using a NutriBullet for years, and it's definitely been my best $100 purchase. Recently, I moved up to the NutriBullet 1200W Blender Combo (also for about $100), and I'm even happier with this kitchen upgrade.

1200W Blender Pitcher and 2 Cups

This new NutriBullet blender combo has 1200 watts of power and comes with 2 cups plus a blender pitcher. I haven't used the pitcher yet, but I've been using the cups every day for about a month, and they've been great! 

Improved Lids Click Tight & Stay Closed!

I've had other single-serving blenders, including other NutriBullets. But this one has cup lids that are much better. First, the latch actually clicks tight and stays closed. I take these to work for breakfast. So, they spend time in a bag with stuff like my SodaStream bottle of homemade seltzer water and my lunch. Unlike other, older cups, these stay closed! So, no shake mess to deal with when I get to work. Second, these cups have a loop that makes them really easy to pick up and carry when your hands are full.

My Breakfast Smoothie Recipe

I like I mention in the video on the NutriBullet, I make a breakfast smoothie about every day. It's almost always the same ingredients. Here's my breakfast smoothie recipe: 

  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1/2 avocado (I'm using frozen, pre-cut organic avocados.)
  • 2 Tbsp ginger root (I cut mine and store them in rice wine vinegar.)
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp probiotic yoghurt 
  • 1/2 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder. (Mostly, because it's chocolate. Mmmmm. ?
  • 12-15 oz. water
Patti's Green Shake Recipe

Patty's Green Shake Recipe?

As I mentioned in my NutriBullet video, my neighbor Patty swears she's got an even better recipe for a green smoothie. She won't give me the recipe yet, but with your help, maybe we can convince her to put it up here on myHomeUpgrades.com. So, comment down below if you'd like to have her put up her recipe, and I'll make sure she sees all the comments. 

Thanks!

Best Coffee Maker Review 2020

There's something no home should be without, and that's a GREAT coffee maker. I've tried lots of different coffee makers, from regular, inexpensive drip coffee makers to those pod kinds, but none of them made great coffee. So, I started looking around for a really good coffee maker, and read the reviews. I've been really, really happy about the one I finally picked. I've been using it for over a year, and I can't say enough good things about it. If you're a "caffeine achiever" like I am, you're definitely going to want to check out this review.

Great Hedge Trimmer!

Shindaiwa makes trimming hedges easier.

A while back, I made a video showing how I turned my yard from basic to professionally landscaped on a budget. Basically, I hired a landscape architect to draw a landscape plan, then I found a wholesale nursery and put the yard in myself by following the plan. A key part of the landscape plan were the hollies and hedgerows that added structure to the yard. Today, I want to talk about the great hedge trimmer I’ve found to shape those hollies and keep the hedgerows looking their best.

Repair Your Leaf Blower for FREE

Leaf Blower Stopped Working?

A hand-held, high-powered leaf blower can really help you maintain your landscape. But it's a real pain when your leaf blower stops working and needs repair, especially if you're trying to get the fall leaves up off the lawn, out of your yard, and out to the street for pick up. When my leaf blower stopped working last fall, I was thinking it was going to cost me at least $100 plus all the time finding a repair shop and waiting to get it fixed. Luckily, I found a great online resource that helped me get my gas-powered leaf blower back up and running in about 5 minutes for nothing.
