This article contains the FAQs for the CB100UK Series Ninja® Foodi® Power Nutri™ Blender. This supports the following SKUs: CB100UK and CB150UK. Please note this also supports the refurbished model CB100UKREFB.

What are the different Auto-iQ programs?

Blend, Crush, Mix, Powermix

What are the different manual programs?

Pulse, Start/Stop

What type of outputs can I make using the programs?

Blend - Fruit Smoothie, Milkshake Crush - Ice Drink, Green Smoothie Mix - Smoothie Bowl, Frozen Yogurt Powermix - Houmous, Pâté

When using the bowl, why is output warm?

This is normal and the unit is functioning properly. If you are using room-temperature ingredients to make nut butters, spreads, etc., output will be slightly warm due to friction of blending.

What's the difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl?

Smoothie bowls are thicker and spoonable, compared to smoothies, which are thinner and drinkable.

  • Examples of spoonable recipes are smoothie bowls, dips, pâté, nut butters and smooth spreads (thick outputs).
  • Examples of drinkable recipes are smoothies, protein drinks, and green drinks.
Are all parts dishwasher safe?

All parts (except the base) are dishwasher safe.

When should I use the Power Nutri™ Cup/Power Nutri™ Bowl?

"Use the Power Nutri™ Cup with the Blend and Crush programs. Use the Power Nutri™ Bowl with the Mix and Powermix programs to create thicker outputs. "

The lid or Hybrid Edge™ Blades are hard to install on the container.

Set the cup/bowl on a level surface. Carefully place the lid or Hybrid Edge Blades Assembly on the top of the cup/bowl and align the threads so the lid/blade assembly sits flat on the cup/bowl. Twist clockwise until you have a tight seal.

What happens if I don’t spin the top/Power Paddle continuously when using the Power Nutri™ Bowl?

For best blending results using the Power Nutri Bowl, twist the Power Paddle anti-clockwise continuously during blending. Since you are using the Power Nutri Bowl for thick outputs, if you do not twist the Power Paddle, ingredients may not fully incorporate and this may result in unprocessed ingredients.

Tips For Smoothie/Shake Making
  • Place liquid in first when using frozen fruit.
  • Generally, when making your own smoothie recipe, use two thirds liquid to one third fruit.
  • Remember some fruits could be waterier, so a few more of these fruits may need to be added.
  • If you like a creamy thick smoothie or shake, use banana, avocado or cashew nuts mixed with fruit or vegetables to thicken.
  • Adding dates (without stones) or dried apricots to a smoothie not only sweetens the mixture but adds fibre too.
  • Oats and seeds in a smoothie or sprinkled on top not only add texture but help you feel fuller for longer.
  • Don’t throw away that ripe banana, cut into slices and freeze for smoothies and shakes, the ripeness will add natural sweetness too.
  • When making smoothie bowls, add as much frozen fruit or vegetables to the max fill line in the bowl if you prefer a thicker smoothie bowl.
  • Oats or chia seeds help to thicken a smoothie bowl, while also adding protein and fibre!
  • If you like a cold smoothie, use frozen fruit and chilled ingredients.
  • Chill smoothie/yogurt serving bowl in freezer first for a few minutes, helps to keep everything cool whilst you eat.
  • Using a premium quality ice cream in shakes, will enrichen the flavour and thickness.
