As a new parent, I was skeptical about blending my own baby food—until I tried the NutriBullet NBY-50100. The first time I whipped up a sweet potato puree in under 30 seconds, I was hooked. The motor is surprisingly powerful for its size, turning even raw carrots into silky-smooth mush (baby-approved!).

The real MVP? The 32-oz batch bowl with lid. I’ll prep a week’s worth of pear-spinach blend on Sunday, freeze portions in the included silicone tray, and pop them straight into the storage cups with date dials—no more guessing if that’s Tuesday’s peas or last month’s forgotten experiment.

Pro tip: Don’t believe the ‘fully dishwasher-safe’ claim. After my first run, I noticed cloudiness on the blade base—now I hand-wash that part while tossing everything else in the dishwasher. Still saves me 45 minutes compared to mashing by fork like some reviewers mentioned!

Is it perfect? Almost. Once when blending frozen mango chunks, the seal leaked a bit (solution: pulse instead of full blend). But watching my baby actually eat broccoli without theatrics? Worth every penny of this compact kitchen hero.
