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.

Yes, I have done kale, carrot smoothies and they were great! You just have to put it on the highest blend option and leave it for a solid minute :) Also, make sure you break up the ice a bit before blending to save the motor. You do that by using the "stir" button a few times before blending.

No, the nutribullet has a hard time blending things that are overly thick. You even have to be careful when making smoothies.

Hi Danny. I don't think so - for smoothies you need a blender or a nutribullet. This thing just makes delicious fruit and vegetable juices.

It does handle kale it blends right through it for our smoothies; it gets the pieces very small, not liquid, but drinkable and yummy :)

Sorry, I do not know. I've blended mostly fruit and dairy products. I did blend well-cooked broccoli for soup without a problem. I would think spinach would be fine. Kale... I couldn't predict; perhaps if you removed tough stems and cooked until quite tender.

No, it only juices the fruits and veggies. You need a blender for that, some fruits like berries you can just throw in blender with the ice and whatever else.

If the nutribullet system is the basic bullet blender motor, the answer is yes. However, the I found the juicer attachment a complete waste of money unless all you want to juice is something like watermelon!

No problem with a frozen banana,frozen strawberries, frozen mango, and frozen blueberries with kale and spinach all together. Blends smoothly (no pun).

Haven't tried it in the blender but do make smoothies with pumpkin seeds, chia, hemp seeds, nuts and frozen cranberries and frozen blueberries. I do have a Cuisinart food processors that I make butters in.

The container says 30 servings and to mix 2 scoops into 8-10 ounces of water or preferred beverage. I use my Bullet, and mix with the Almond Breeze almond/coconut "milk", and only use about 1 scoop with some frozen fruit mix (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) or just cherries, or strawberries....also throw in some spinach and it's yummy!!

Yes, and very good ones. Never had an issue. I made spinach, apple, pineapple, nectarines, peach, strawberry, banana, and any combination with protein powder. You put the soft ingredients in first, and the hardest last, topped with a few ice cubes and a couple tablespoons of juice or water or milk. While it is blending, you may need to shake the entire unit like a martini shaker once or twice to be sure all the ingredients drop to the blade. I love this thing! I use it to grind coffee and scramble eggs, as well as other small tasks.

Ruthann,We blend either kale or spinach leaves with fruit and it works well. We haven't tried any other veggies yet.

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.

The Nutribullet does not extract juice from the fruit or vegetable. It "blends" them with water to make a, yes, smoothie. So it makes a rather thick, pulpy kind of juice. But, it is sure a great way to get fresh vitamins, nutrients, and fiber into your diet and you can make foods you never could stomach before, palatable and fun to drink.Bert

YES! I load it with kale, carrots, beats, broccoli, cucumbers... Great juicer.

Yes, just make sure you mix the ingredients while you juice it. For example leafy greens - piece of cucumber - leafy greens and so on. This works great
