Equipment Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make these NutriBullet smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend the higher-end full-sized NutriBullet Smart Touch that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.
How To Make The Blackberry Cherry Cashew Smoothie
The NutriBullet Blackberry Cherry Cashew smoothie is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place kale, blackberries, cherries, vanilla almond milk, cashew butter, cinnamon, and honey into a blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Recipe Tips And Substitutions
If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
Coconut milk or soy milk can be substituted for the almond milk and still keep this delicious smoothie dairy-free.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Nutribullet blenders are designed for ease of use. With a compact design and simple mechanism, users typically just need to fill the blending cup with ingredients, twist on the blade attachment, and press or twist the cup onto the base to blend. Cleaning is also straightforward, as many parts are dishwasher safe.
Yes, cinnamon is beneficial due to its rich antioxidant content and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been linked to various health benefits, including improved blood sugar control, reduced heart disease risk factors, and potential neuroprotective effects. Additionally, cinnamon has antimicrobial properties and can aid in digestion. However, it’s essential to differentiate between Ceylon cinnamon (often referred to as “true” cinnamon) and Cassia cinnamon, as the latter contains higher amounts of coumarin, which can be harmful in large doses.
