SO THE INSTA-DAUGHTER IS HOME FROM COLLEGE, and is putting together stuff for her apartment next year, where (unlike her dorm room last year) she’ll have a full kitchen. One thing she’s gotten is the Nutri Bullet blender, which seems to be excellent. She’s made almond butter, pureed brazil nuts, and otherwise blended stuff that other blenders might have trouble with. It’s smooth, powerful, and easy to clean. Speaking as someone who loves a good blender myself, it seems like an excellent one. She calls it “life-transforming,” which may be an exaggeration, but which was sincere.
