Introducing the TWISTi™ PITCHER

It's never been easier to create thick and spoonable smoothie bowls, nut butters, and more. Simply twist the built-in tamper while blending to push ingredients down toward the blade.

Did You Know? Smoothie bowls are thicker and spoonable, compared to smoothies, which are thinner and drinkable.

Smoothie Bowl Basics: Using the Pitcher

Preparation Tips: For best results, cut ingredients into 1-inch pieces. Always add frozen ingredients to the pitcher first.

Layering Instructions (for Pitcher):

1. Start by adding ice or frozen ingredients.
2. Next add leafy greens and herbs.
3. Then add any dry or sticky ingredients like seeds, powders, and nut butters.
4. Pour in liquid or yogurt next. For thinner results or a juice-like drink, add more liquid as desired.
5. Top off with fresh fruits or vegetables.

Important Notes:

• Do not go past the MAX LIQUID line when loading the pitcher.
• Amplify your base by adding 1 scoop of yogurt, flavor powder, protein powder, and/or nut butter.

Steps for Making a Smoothie Bowl:

1. Install the blade assembly. Add milk or milk alternative (soy, coconut, almond, or oat milk) up to the LIQUID FILL line. For 1 serving, use the 8-ounce fill line; for 2 servings, use the 10-ounce fill line. Always do this first.
2. Add frozen fruit, directly from the freezer, and/or açaí or dragon fruit packets, up to the MAX FILL line. For 1 serving, use the 16-ounce fill line; for 2 servings, use the 34-ounce fill line. Cut larger fruit, like bananas, into quarters. If using açaí or dragon fruit packets, thaw slightly and cut into quarters.
3. Install the lid onto the pitcher, then install the pitcher onto the motor base. Select the "BOWL" setting.
4. Twist the built-in tamper counterclockwise continuously while processing until the program is complete.
5. After blending is complete, pour the mixture into a bowl. Decorate with your favorite toppings, such as coconut flakes, granola, fresh bananas, berries, and agave nectar.

Using the Nutrient Extraction* Cup

Tips to help you create smoothies and nutrient extractions* to take on the go.

Preparation Tips: For best results, cut ingredients into 1-inch pieces. Place frozen ingredients in the cup last.

Layering Instructions (for Extraction Cup):

1. Start by adding fresh fruits and vegetables.
2. Next add leafy greens and herbs.
3. Pour in liquid or yogurt next. For thinner results or a juice-like drink, add more liquid as desired.
4. Next add any dry or sticky ingredients like seeds, powders, and nut butters.
5. Top off with ice or frozen ingredients.

Important Notes:

• Do not go past the MAX LIQUID line when loading the cup. Overfilling ingredients may harm the unit when in use.
• If you feel resistance when attaching the Hybrid Edge™ Blades Assembly to the cup, remove some ingredients.
• The Hybrid Edge Blades Assembly is not compatible with other Ninja® products.
