Operating Instructions
Assembly and Blending
- Add Ingredients: Fill a nutribullet cup with your desired ingredients. Ensure ingredients do not exceed the MAX fill line. For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally harder ingredients or ice.
- Attach Blade: Screw the Rapid Extractor Blade onto the open end of the cup until it is tightly sealed.
- Place on Motor Base: Invert the cup and blade assembly and place it onto the motor base. Align the tabs on the cup with the slots on the motor base.
- Activate Blending:
- Automated Smoothie Cycle: Press the large circular button on the illuminated touch interface. The blender will run for an optimized blending cycle and automatically shut off.
- Pulse Function: Press the smaller, dotted circular button for hands-on control. Release the button to stop blending. This is ideal for chopping or creating chunkier textures.

- Remove Cup: Once blending is complete, lift the cup assembly straight up from the motor base.
- Enjoy: Unscrew the blade from the cup. You can attach a To-Go Lid for portability or pour your creation into another container.
Tips for Optimal Blending
- If blending thick mixtures, you may need to pulse the blender or add more liquid to achieve desired consistency.
- For frozen fruits or ice, ensure there is enough liquid to allow proper circulation.
- Do not run the blender continuously for more than 1 minute. If blending for longer, allow the motor to cool down for a few minutes before resuming.
The nutribullet Ultra can be used to create a variety of healthy preparations, from smoothies to dressings.

- Cups and Lids: The cups and To-Go Lids are top-rack dishwasher-safe. For manual cleaning, wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
