NutriBullet Pro Plus has the most powerful motor in the brand’s pro series. What sets it apart from its two siblings aside from the motor is the pulse mode.
It might seem very basic, but it’s a must-have feature for any blender. Having a pulse lever or button will give you more control over the quality of your blend.
The Pro Plus, Nutribullet Pro 1000, and the Nutribullet Pro 900 can make up to three servings of smoothies. But, the 1000 model is more like the more up to date version. The cups don’t need a lip ring anymore.
Any of the three options are amazing choices. It’s just a matter of preference. If you need the pulse feature, definitely go for the Nutri bullet Pro+. On the other hand, if you want a newer model, get the Nutribullet Pro 1000.
However, since this review is all about the Pro Plus. Let’s head over to its pros and cons.

Nutribullet Pro Plus Features
Application
The NutriBullet Pro series is designed for making smoothies, but it can also perform other food processing tasks. It can also make salad dressings, sauces, nut butters, etc.
Here’s a full list of what you can do with your Nutribullet Pro Plus.
You may need to use the shake and tap technique when processing thick recipes. The blended items will stick to the side and require constant shaking and tapping to push them back to the blade.
That technique applies to making nut butters and frozen desserts.
So, is this simple-looking product really easy to use?
Ease of Use
Personal blenders are straightforward products, and the Nutribullet Pro+ is not an exception. I’m quite sure you’ll be a pro in no time.
You’ll just have to remember that it has two modes—blend mode and pulse mode.
Blend mode is the default mode; it’s what you need for making smoothies. When you press the cup and blade assembly down onto the power base, it will run for 1 minute. You can do this cycle up to three times or until you’re satisfied with the consistency.
Say, if you’re making salsa, you don’t want it to be completely emulsified. That is where the pulse mode will come in handy. To activate it, press the pulse button immediately after securing the vessel onto the power base. For best results, let the blade come to a complete stop between each pulse.
Once you’ve mastered those two modes, you’ll be surprised with how much you can do with your Nutribullet.
When it comes to maintenance, all the cups and lids are top-rack dishwasher safe. The only part that you’ll have to wash manually is the blade base.
Nutribullet Pro+ Accessories
The good thing about the Nutri bullet Pro Plus is it comes with two containers. You’ll get the 32-ounce colossal cup and the 24-ounce tall cup.
By any chance, if you need to replace your cups or any accessories, here’s the full list of compatible accessories for your personal blender.
24 oz Tall Cup (included)
You’ll get this standard 24-ounce cup with your purchase. It’s perfect for making one to two servings of smoothies. When you’re ready to drink, you can put on the lip ring for ease and comfort. And if you decide to bring your smoothie, you can seal the cup with the complimentary flip-top lid.
Extractor Blade (included)
Since the Nutribullet Pro+ has a more powerful motor, it also needs an equally powerful extractor blade. In case you need to replace your worn-out blade, this one would be the perfect fit.
32 oz Colossal Cup (included)
This colossal cup is perfect for making up to three servings of smoothies in one cycle. Just like the tall cup, it comes with a lip ring for easy sipping and a flip-top lid, should you decide to drink your smoothie on the go.
Flip-top Lid (included)
You’ll get a pair of this flip-top lid, one for your 24-ounce tall cup and one for the 32-oz colossal cup.
