The Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro blender is ideal for making single-serve smoothies. It comes with different sizes of personal jars and to-go lids so you can bring your drink on-the-go. While it does an incredible job crushing ice, it makes a foamy, silky smoothie, and more fibrous ingredients like kale aren't fully processed into the blend. It can't hot blend ingredients, either. That said, it's easy to clean, and its components are also dishwasher-safe.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
Depending on the manufacturer, the Ninja Nutri Pro comes with either two jars or three jars. We tested the variant that comes with three jars, and you can see the label for the model we tested here.
Ninja has several other models with similar names. We tested the Ninja Nutri Pro BL455. The Ninja Nutri Pro BL456, BL451, BL450C, and BL450 are similar blenders, but they have less powerful motors, so we can't comment on their performance.
If you come across another variant of this model, let us know in the discussion section below so we can update our review.
Compared To Other Blenders
The Ninja Nutri Pro is a personal blender that's well-suited for making single serves of your favorite foods, and it comes with to-go lids so you can bring your blends with you on-the-go. It's easy to clean, and it's fantastic for crushing ice. It performs similarly to the Ninja Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ, but it doesn't come with any preset modes. If you're looking for more blenders, see our recommendations for the best blenders, the best Ninja blenders, and the best blenders for smoothies.
The Ninja Foodi Power Nutri DUO is a much better personal blender than the Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro. The DUO has a better build quality and comes with a unique jar with manual rotating hands that help push food towards the blades. It also has controls with different timers depending on what you're blending. It's better for making nut butter and for processing fibrous ingredients like kale.
The NutriBullet Pro 900 is a little better than the Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro. The NutriBullet makes a silkier puree with fibrous fruits and vegetables. It's also much better for processing small batches of hard ingredients like nuts. It's quieter when it's running. On the other hand, the Ninja can crush ice without liquid in the jar. All of its components are dishwasher-safe and it's easier to clean by hand.
The Ninja Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ and the Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro are both personal blenders with a similar design and a similar performance. The Pro comes with more jars, while the Auto-iQ comes with more preset modes and a timer. The Auto-iQ also makes better almond butter.
The Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro is better than the NutriBullet Pro 1000. It comes with a greater number of personal jars with to-go lids and makes better-blended smoothies. It also produces more spreadable almond butter, makes crushed ice with a better texture, and is much easier to clean when you're working with sticky ingredients.
The Ninja Fit is a bit better than the Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro. They both make fantastic smoothies, but the Fit makes a slightly smoother blend with small batches of fibrous ingredients like kale. It's somewhat quieter and easier to use to process hard ingredients like nuts. On the other hand, the Nutri Ninja Pro comes with an assortment of differently-sized jars. It's better for ice crushing since its 24-ounce jar can fit more ice cubes than the Fit's 16-ounce jars.
The Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro is a little better than the Magic Bullet Blender MBR-1101. The Ninja comes with to-go lids for all of its jars, and it's more versatile since you can use it to crush ice without adding liquid to the jar. It's also sturdier and easier to clean by hand. All its components are dishwasher-safe, while the Magic Βullet's blade assembly needs to be cleaned by hand.
The Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro is a more versatile personal blender than the Magic Bullet Kitchen Express. The Ninja is better built and easier to clean. It can crush ice, unlike the Magic Bullet. While the Ninja comes with an additional 12-oz jar, the Magic Bullet comes with a food processing attachment. The Magic Bullet also makes a better-blended smoothie.
The Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro with Auto-iQ is better than the Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro. The two models are very similar, but Nutri-Blender is significantly better for making smoothies, and it's much easier to clean by hand. It also comes with two 24-ounce jars rather than one 24-ounce jar and a smaller 18-ounce jar.
The NutriBullet Rx is better for most purposes than the Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro. The Rx is a full-size blender that makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients like kale. It's much easier to use for thick mixtures like nut butter, and you can use it to heat up room-temperature ingredients. However, the Ninja is a smaller personal blender. It's easier to clean by hand and comes with to-go lids for its jars.
The Ninja Nutri Blender Plus is better for most purposes than the Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro. The Plus makes better-blended smoothies in any of its three identical 20-ounce jars. It also makes much smoother, more spreadable almond butter. However, the Pro is much better for ice crushing, and it's easier to clean by hand after working with sticky foods.
The Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro is better than the Blendjet 2 for most purposes. The Ninja comes with three differently-sized jars with matching to-go lids, does a better job of crushing ice, and makes a smoother puree of fibrous ingredients. However, the Blendjet is a more compact battery-powered blender, so you may prefer it if you're looking for a portable model.
The Breville Boss To Go Sport is a better personal blender than the Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro. The Breville is better-built, and it makes a better smoothie and better almond butter. However, the Ninja is the best choice for crushing ice, and it's easier to clean.
The Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro is better for most purposes than the NutriBullet GO. The Ninja can crush ice and comes with three differently-sized jars with to-go lids. It’s also much better at making smoothies and almond butter. It’s easier to clean when you’re working with sticky ingredients, and its blade assemblies, jars, and lids dishwasher-safe. However, the NutriBullet is a more compact blender with a much better build quality.
The Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro is a better personal blender than the Magic Bullet Mini. The Ninja is better built and comes with to-go lids for its jars. It's easier to clean by hand and all of its components are dishwasher-safe.
Test Results
The Ninja Nutri Pro Blender is a pretty compact personal blender. You can store it on your kitchen counter or in a cupboard, and the jar is removable for easier storage.
This blender has a decent build quality. Its jars feel thick and solid, which is good. However, the motor base seems plasticky and doesn't feel very premium or durable. The power cable isn't very thick, either.
The blade assembly has six sharp blades and is top-rack dishwasher-safe.
The lid screws onto the jar for a tight seal, and it can also be cleaned in the dishwasher. This blender also comes with three to-go lids, which have a spout so you can drink smoothies on-the-go.
The power cord should be long enough to reach most outlets. It can be stored in the stowaway compartment under the blender when it's not in use.

The Ninja Nutri Pro Blender is decent for smoothies. Using its 12-oz jar, it makes a foamy, silky blend with a slightly grainy texture. The 12-oz jar gets a better result than the 18-oz and 24-oz jars. If you prefer a smoothie with a silkier texture, check out the Ninja Foodi Power Nutri DUO or the Magic Bullet Kitchen Express.
Using its 18-oz jar, the Ninja Nutri Pro Blender makes a foamy, grainy smoothie. You may have to stop the blender and shake the jar to get the kale towards the blades. The 18-oz jar performs similarly to the 24-oz jar, but it makes a slightly less foamy smoothie.
The Ninja Nutri Pro is outstanding for crushed ice. In about two minutes, it makes snow-like ice for frozen drinks.
Using its 24-oz jar, the Ninja Nutri Pro Blender makes dry almond butter with a sticky texture and a few unprocessed almond chunks. The blades tend to push the almonds to the sides of the jar, so you have to shake and tap the jar to get the unprocessed almonds back into the mix. If you're looking for a personal blender that makes better almond butter, take a look at the Magic Bullet Blender MBR-1101.
This blender only has one speed, and it gets pretty loud. You can also simulate a pulse mode by pushing down on the jar and releasing it in short bursts.
