Next, I made a smoothie. First, I took some coconut flakes and attempted to grind them to see how well the CN100UK copes with dry ingredients. In short, not very well. The high speed of the motor tends to throw the bits into the air, giving uneven results. If you need to grind spices or work with dry ingredients, this isn’t the blender for you. To see how well the CB100UK performs, I put it through a series of tests. First, I started with ice crushing, filling the self-serve cup with ice cubs. Using the Crush Auto IQ programme, I soon had a cup full of powdered snow-like ice, with no big chunks left behind. To be fair, this product isn’t really designed for that job. Adding to the coconut flakes, I put in pineapple chunks (including the core), mint leaves, yoghurt and coconut milk. Using the Blend option, I ended up with a perfect smoothie, with no large chunks left and the mint and coconut spread evenly through the mix.

Oats and seeds in a smoothie or sprinkled on top not only add texture but help you feel fuller for longer.

We liked the 700ml capacity of the cup, which made for a filling post-gym smoothie, and vastly preferred the travel cap to the standard lid provided with many blenders, as it made it easier to drink on the go. It was also completely leak-proof. We really love the Ninja foodi nutri 2-in-1 blender, and has completely replaced our Nutribullet in our affections. Nothing we tried was any problem for this super powerful machine, and we whipped up smoothies in seconds using massive frozen berries, ice cubes, carrots, nut butters and more without a moment’s thought.

If you’ve seen a recent Ninja blender, then you won’t find the CB100UK a million miles away. The main unit is the powered motor base, into which you clip the provided accessories. For this model, there’s a 1100W motor, down from the 1200W motor in the BN750UK. As you’ll see later, this doesn’t make much difference in practice – the less powerful motor is fine since you’ll only ever be working with smaller volumes of food.

Next, there’s the new 400ml Power Nutri Bowl, which takes the same blade assembly, but also has a storage lid. You’ll also notice its Smart Torque twice dial, which is at the bottom of the bowl when stood up, but becomes the top when inserted into the main base. While budget blenders can handle soft fruits and liquids fine, it often pays to spend a bit more knowing that your new blender will be able to work its way through tougher ingredients like hard veg or even – for the top models – ice cubes. As with other Ninja Blenders that I’ve reviewed recently, the Ninja Foodi Power Nutri Blender 2-in-1 with Smart Torque & Auto-iQ CB100UK is super-loud. I measured it at a peak of 97.3dB – that’s louder than an underground train. Admittedly, you’ll be running this blender for only short periods, but it’s not pleasant to stand next to while it’s doing its thing. The CB100UK also features Auto-IQ technology. Exclusive to Ninja, these intelligent programmes are tailored to deliver the perfect results at the touch of a button. Four unique pulse, pause and blend patterns do all the hard work for you. Choose from Blend, Crush, Mix and PowerMix for complete cooking flexibility. Ninja also prides itself on the fact that this blender can cope with some serious ingredients without rattling away on your worktop, or having to be held in place. The plastic parts can be placed in the dishwasher and stubborn residues can be whizzed off with soapy water in the blending cup. Performance

Forget about having to scrape down the sides or manually mix your concoctions up, because the Ninja blender has a clever “pull-down” mechanism, and will choose to pulse the mix instead of going full throttle. This ensures even, perfectly blended results, from the top to the bottom of the blending cup.
