The nutribullet Flip is a battery-powered portable blender with a 20oz jar. It's the brand's second portable blender after the nutribullet GO, and it's bigger and has a different design. Its blades are built into the motor base, and you can flip the blender over after blending and can drink from a spout built into the base. You can also switch the motor base for another lid that has a drinking spout and an opening for the included straw. Unlike most portable blenders, you can get it with a stainless steel or a plastic jar.
Our Verdict
The nutribullet Flip isn't good for multi-purpose use. This battery-powered personal blender is intended for drinks, like smoothies and protein shakes, and does a good job of blending fibrous ingredients, like fruit and leafy greens. However, it's not easy to use for more difficult blends, like crushing ice on its own or processing recipes like nut butter. You're not meant to run it for over one minute continuously. The blades are part of the motor base and can't be immersed in water, which makes it hard to clean.
- Smoothly blends small batches of fibrous ingredients.
- Can crush ice without liquid in the jar.
- Not easy to clean by hand.
- Stainless steel variant is heavy.
- Can't hot blend.
The nutribullet Flip is great for single-serve smoothies. It's meant for blending drinks like smoothies and protein shakes on the go, and you can either sip from its lid directly or use the included straw. It makes a mostly smooth blend with fibrous additions, like fruit and leafy greens, outperforming similar blenders like the Ninja Blast in that regard. That said, if your drink includes difficult ingredients like kale, it'll require several blending cycles for the best results, which is normal for battery-powered blenders.
- Smoothly blends small batches of fibrous ingredients.
- To-go lid and straw included.
- Personal jar included.
- Not easy to clean by hand.
- Stainless steel variant is heavy.
The nutribullet Flip isn't meant for multiple servings. You're meant to use it to blend a single-serve smoothie or protein shake and drink straight from the jar, and its 20oz jar can only blend one smoothie at once. You'll have to work in batches if you want to make several smoothies, and it requires multiple blending cycles to make a smooth blend with fibrous ingredients like kale, so it's not convenient to use for multiple batches.
- Smoothly blends small batches of fibrous ingredients.
- Not easy to clean by hand.
- Stainless steel variant is heavy.
The nutribullet Flip isn't a good ice crusher. It can make some crushed ice with four ice cubes in the jar, but you have to shake it almost constantly and clean ice from the blades after every cycle. It doesn't completely crush the ice, so some unprocessed chunks are leftover.
- Can crush ice without liquid in the jar.
- Not easy to clean by hand.
- Difficult to use for ice crushing.
- Stainless steel variant is heavy.
The nutribullet Flip can't be used for hot blending and isn't suitable for soups. If you let your ingredients cool down first, it can make a smooth blend with fibrous vegetables like kale and broccoli. However, like most portable blenders, it has a limited capacity and won't fit most soup recipes in one batch. It's not the fastest blender and has a limited battery life, which isn't ideal if you need to blend multiple batches.
- Smoothly blends small batches of fibrous ingredients.
- Not easy to clean by hand.
- Stainless steel variant is heavy.
- Can't hot blend.
The nutribullet Flip isn't suitable for professional use. While it's well-built, it's meant for making single-serve smoothies and protein shakes and isn't designed for other uses. It struggles with difficult blends like nut butter and ice crushing and can't hot blend. Its battery lasts for about 14 cycles of 30 seconds each, which is enough for a couple of smoothies but isn't suitable for heavy-duty use.

- Not easy to clean by hand.
- Stainless steel variant is heavy.
- Can't hot blend.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The nutribullet Flip comes with either a stainless steel or Tritan plastic jar. The stainless jar is available in 'Black,' 'White,' or 'Brushed Stainless Steel.' The plastic jar comes in one variant with a black rubber hand grip. We tested the 'Brushed Stainless Steel' version, and you can see the label for the unit we tested here. We expect our results to be valid for both variants, but a stainless steel jar is insulated and should keep drinks colder for longer.
If you encounter another variant, let us know in the comments, and we'll update our review.
