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.

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 main jar has a 24-ounce capacity that's suitable for single-serve blends. It's also dishwasher-safe for an easy clean.
There are two additional jars: an 18-ounce jar and a 12-ounce jar. They're both dishwasher-safe.
There are six sharp blades that can't be removed. They're also 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.

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.
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.
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.
This blender doesn't have any programs or modes.
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.
