Ninja® Blender System
with Auto-iQ™ Technology
Auto-iQ™ programs combine unique pulsing, blending, and pausing patterns that do
the work for you! Get great results every time with no guesswork required! No more
standing over a blender, simply press a button and get the time you need to get other
things done.
Nutri Ninja® 101
Auto-iQ™ Frozen Drinks/Smoothies: This program is designed
for creating delicious drinks in our 72-ounce Pitcher. Our stacked blades will ULTRA
BLEND ice, frozen fruits and vegetables in seconds, giving you a refreshing icy
beverage!
Auto-iQ™ Puree: This program is designed for making foods such as dips,
hummus, baby food, or soups. All three jar configurations can be used with this
setting. Use the Food Processor Bowl for larger batches or the Nutri Ninja® Cups
for smaller portions.
Auto-iQ™ Blend: This program is specifically designed for our Nutri Ninja
Cups. The Pro Extractor Blades™ for the Nutri Ninja® Cups spin much faster, giving you
super smooth results, every time. Use this setting for SuperJuices that use fresh or
softer ingredients.
®
Auto-iQ™ Ultra Blend: This program is specifically designed for our Nutri
Ninja® cups. The Pro Extractor Blades™ for the Nutri Ninja® Cups spin much faster,
giving you super smooth results, every time. Use the ULTRA BLEND setting for harder
ingredients such as frozen fruits or vegetables, ice, seeds, and more.
Auto-iQ™ Pulse: This is an enhanced feature
to our existing pulse function. Auto-iQ™ Pulse offers
greater control to help prevent over processing or
over blending. Simply, hold down the button and
our blades will run at a high speed for a quick burst
of power to break through ice, or chop vegetables.
VEGGIES
FRUIT
LIQUID
ICE
When filling your Nutri Ninja® cups, we recommend that you start with adding your fresh
fruits or vegetables first.
If you’re using powders, seeds, nuts, or other dry ingredients, put them in next.
Afterwards, add frozen items or ice. Finally, pour in any juice, water, or other liquids as
desired.
Remember to securely tighten the Pro Extractor Blades™ and do not overfill
the cups. Once the Pro Extractor Blades™ has been securely assembled to the cup,
flip the cup over in order to attach to the base, as shown above.
