The Ninja Ultima™ Blender Review {GIVEAWAY CLOSED}

Disclosure: I was provided a free The Ninja Ultima™ blender to facilitate this review and was not compensated  for this post. As always, all opinion are my own.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender reviewYou may remember last year I did a review on the Ninja Kitchen System. I described it as my new favorite small kitchen appliance. It was for a very long time, in fact I would use it multiple times a day. I made smoothies, I used it as a food processor, we loved the single cups for our personal shakes and the large pitcher to make smoothies and drinks for everyone. When I say we used it often, that’s an understatement.

So what changed? Well recently Ninja Kitchen sent me their newest Ninja full size blender, the Ninja Ultima™ blender. It has many of the features I loved in my first machine, the cyclonic blades that go all the way up the main pitcher, super high horsepower (1500 watts), and the single serve cups. In addition to keeping the features I love, they’ve made it better by simplifying. My old machine had a few different cup sizes and different blades and it was a lot of storage space. This machine is simple, does it all and it’s just one machine. You can chop, blend, and everything in between. In addition, the tops for the single serve cups now have a flip lock lid so they close. It’s a little bit more sleek while keeping everything that I loved.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender review

I want to be honest, my old system was such a part of our daily routine that I wasn’t sure how I’d feel opening up this new system and replacing it. I had my reservations, because I really did like the old system. But the second I turned on the blender, I could see the difference. Somehow it blends a little quieter, and easier. Within seconds my huge ice cubes were crushed with no issues whatsoever.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender review

What I also love about Ninja is all of the delicious recipes they provide. From soups to drinks, cakes and everything else you could think of you’re sure to be inspired.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender reviewThe switches are easy to use, the pulse works fast and as well as you would hope it would. It’s easy to power up from a 1 to a 10 while the blender is in motion.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender reviewThe pitcher holds 9 cups! Perfect for parties! It’s also perfect for making large batches of soup!

Ninja Ultima™ Blender reviewEven with the new design, the things I love are still in place, like the locking feature.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender reviewAlso the push release for the top.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender reviewI tested it out with a little smoothie recipe, just to see how it would do.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender review

Within seconds those ice cubes were broken up and everything was blended.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender reviewI also like that it came with three tumblers. The blade design for the single cup doesn’t look like much has changed. It looks like the only redesign was with the tumbler tops.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender reviewThe locking mechanism has changed a bit, which is a good thing. After a while my single cups began sticking a bit more with my old machine and I have a feeling that’s why it was changed.

Ninja Ultima™ Blender reviewAbsolutely loving that flip top.

    I love that you can get individual cups in addition to a big one. I’m trying to adopt dome healthier habits and being able to make a smoothie on the run would be perfect!

      I love that you can get individual cups in addition to a big one. I’m trying to adopt some healthier habits and being able to make a smoothie on the run would be perfect! Fruit is my favorite thing to blend up in the summer and in the fall I like pureed soups.

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
