Yeah, the NutriBullet Flip Portable Blender is pretty good for making protein shakes, especially if you like adding frozen fruits or ice.
It's got this 11.1V high-torque motor that, according to the manufacturer, is 50% more powerful than a lot of standard portable blenders. So it's built to handle tougher ingredients like ice and frozen fruits, making it perfect for on-the-go smoothies.
Plus, with its USB-C charging port, you can get over 14 30-second blending cycles on a full charge, which is pretty handy if you're out and about a lot.
According to our research, most people find it does a good job with frozen fruits and ice. A nice bonus is the 20 oz stainless steel cup, which keeps your drink cold for up to 24 hours.
Some folks mentioned it works really well with thick chocolate shakes too, so if you like your protein shakes nice and thick, you're in luck.
That said, there are some mixed reviews when it comes to blending frozen stuff. A few people found it needs a bit of finesse—like not overfilling the cup and letting frozen items thaw a bit before blending.
Otherwise, it might bind up or need a few extra cycles to get everything smooth.
So, yeah, overall the NutriBullet Flip Portable Blender is effective for protein shakes, especially with frozen ingredients.
Just be mindful of not overloading it and thawing frozen items slightly if needed, and you should be good to go.
