Fibermaxxing is trending right now — here's what to know before you try it
Protein has long been the poster nutrient of the fitness and health world, essential for building muscle, aiding recovery, and keeping you feeling full. But recently, fiber has started to share the spotlight. Rather than replacing protein, fiber is being recognized as an overlooked powerhouse with benefits for gut health, digestion, skin, metabolism and even heart health. This growing interest has sparked a trend called 'fibermaxxing,' where people are finding ways to add more fiber to their diets to improve digestion, clear up their skin and support metabolic health. But is this just a passing online fad, or is there real science behind it? While official guidelines suggest women aim for around 25 grams of fiber per day and men for about 31 grams, most Americans fall short. According to the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, just 5% of the U.S. population meets these recommendations. The original Nutribullet makes it easy to load up on fiber-rich fruits and veggies. With 600 watts of power and a no-fuss design, it turns whole foods into smooth, nutrient-packed drinks in seconds. Fibermaxxing aims to close that gap by encouraging people to add more fiber-rich foods like oats, lentils, berries, beans,and leafy greens to their daily meals. It can also involve sourcing little top-ups like adding chia seeds to recipes or swapping in high-fiber snacks and supplements. Multiple studies have shown that hitting your fiber goals isn't just good for digestion, it's linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic health problems. According to one study, higher fiber consumption is linked to a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. According to a study published in The Lancet, higher fiber consumption is linked to a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. Fiber helps regulate blood sugar, promotes healthy gut bacteria, and reduces inflammation. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. However, experts caution that increasing fiber too quickly can lead to digestive discomfort, such as bloating or gas. The Mayo Clinic recommends gradually adding fiber to your diet while drinking plenty of water. This gives your digestive system time to adjust and helps you get the full benefits of fiber without the side effects. There's no denying a fiber-rich diet comes with plenty of benefits from keeping your digestion on track to supporting heart health and managing blood sugar. The key is to increase fiber gradually and focus on whole foods like beans, berries and greens. Don't forget to drink plenty of water to avoid any tummy troubles. Everyone's body reacts differently so if you're thinking about making big changes, it's a good idea to chat with a healthcare professional first.

Midweek Meals: Five ways to give the humble cauliflower a main-course glow-up
Method Trim all the leaves from the cauliflower and cut away the bottom of the stalk to leave a flat base. Wash and dry the cauliflower and stand it on a microwave prove plate or dish. Mix together the cumin, coriander and sumac. Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil over the cauliflower, using a pastry brush to work it in and cover as much of the surface as possible. Squeeze over the juice of half a lemon and scatter the mixed spices over the surface of the cauliflower, spreading them as evenly as possible. Microwave on full power for twelve minutes. Check to see if the cauliflower is cooked through by sliding a skewer or small sharp knife into the centre. If the knife slides though easily, it is done. This will obviously depend upon the size of the head of cauliflower, so if it needs more time, pop it back in into the microwave for another three minutes and then check it again. Once it is done in the microwave, drizzle over another tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle over some flaky sea salt. Transfer the cauliflower to an air fryer or preheated oven and roast it at 180 Celsius for twenty or until it is golden and toasted all over. This will take a little longer in an oven than in an air fryer; you will need to allow thirty minutes if using an oven. While the cauliflower is roasting, make your sauces. To make the tahini sauce, peel and roughly chop the garlic. Add that and the lemon juice to a blender and blitz for a minute. Next, add the tahini, cumin, coriander, and salt and blitz to combine everything well. At this stage you will likely find that the tahini seizes up and the mixture is very thick. Add an ice cube or two and blitz them in. If the sauce is still a little thick, you can add a few tablespoons of cold water and blitz that in until you have a very creamy, smooth sauce with a easy pouring consistency. To make the zhuk, wash and remove the tops of the chillies. I like my chilli sauce to have some punch, so I leave the stalks and seeds in the chillies. Discard those if you want a milder sauce. Roughly chop the chillies and put them into a small food processor or blender, I use my Nutribullet for this which works perfectly for portions of this size. Peel and roughly chop the garlic, and add to the blender. Wash and add the herbs, along with the spices, salt, lemon juice and olive oil. Blitz to a smooth sauce and set aside. When the cauliflower is almost done, roast the cherry tomatoes in the air fryer or oven on a separate tray until they are soft and just about popping out of their skins. They will need about five minutes to roast perfectly.

Exploding Nutribullet left NYC man with severed artery, ‘trauma that will last a lifetime': lawsuit
A New York City man who used a Nutribullet blender to make a protein smoothie claims he was permanently injured when the device exploded, sending 'shrapnel' into his hand. Joseph Sanchez put celery, milk and protein powder into the high-powered device in July 2022 and was shocked when 'the [plastic] cup exploded, deeply lacerating' his right hand and fingers, 'and leaving him terrified as he saw his blood gushing onto the floor all around him,' he alleged in court papers. In shock, the quick-thinking 46-year-old hairdresser was able to grab a necktie to use as a tourniquet and slow the bleeding before rushing to the hospital, where medical staff diagnosed him with a severed artery in his dominant right hand, he said in a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit against Nutribullet. 3 Joseph Sanchez claims the device exploded and sent 'shrapnel' into him, injuring his hand. Obtained by the New York Post The Inwood resident now struggles with numbness in his hand, 'severe pain, and trauma that will last a lifetime,' he said in the litigation. Operating the blender, which can range in price from about $45 to $150 or more, creates heat and pressure which causes the device to 'over-pressurize' and explode, he alleged. Nutribullet is well aware of its product's tendency to explode, Sanchez alleged, noting the company first learned of the issue in 2011 when a consumer was injured. The lawsuit did not detail the earlier complaint. The incident was 'very frightening and disturbing,' said Sanchez' attorney, Daniel Ecker. 3 Obtained by the New York Post 3 Nutribullet has faced more than 140 personal injury and liability lawsuits in federal court over its product. Future via Getty Images At least 140 personal injury or product liability lawsuits have been filed against the company in federal court since 2014, according to court records, and in 2022 Nutribullet agreed to pay a $10 million settlement in a class action case claiming people had been hurt by its product. The company did not admit wrongdoing in the hefty settlement. Still, the Los Angeles-based company has 'never warned' customers and 'failed to take any action,' including issuing a recall or redesigning its blender, contended Sanchez, who is seeking unspecified damages. A New Jersey federal judge tossed a similar case last month from a woman who claimed she was hurt after her Nutribullet exploded while she used it for less than 10 seconds. Lori Lynne Hoff of Hunterdon was using her blender to make celery juice in 2020 when it blew, slicing her finger, leaving her burned — and causing her to briefly collapse, she said in court papers which sought unspecified damages. She sued in 2021 claiming the Nutribullet featured a defective design, but the judge dismissed the case June 30 contending that the engineering expert Hoff had testify on her behalf failed to support her claims. The company, which touts itself as the top 'personal blending brand' with more than 80 million customers worldwide. Nutribullet did not respond to a message seeking comment.

I review home tech for a living — don't miss these 5 last-minute Prime Day deals on my top-rated Yeti, Breville and more
Prime Day deals end in just a few hours, but there's still time to grab some of the best last-minute deals. We're tracking the best Amazon sales live so you don't have to. I test home appliances for a living. My job is literally testing everything from blenders, to kettles, to pressure cookers, cool bags, espresso machines, vacuums, and anything else you can possibly think of. My favorite homeware deal right now? Probably the Breville Bambino Plus — just $399 at Amazon right now, its best ever price. Hurry, though! These deals must end tonight. Get your last minute savings in order before the sale ends. I love love love my Nutribullet Pro 900W. I use it every day. It can make smoothies, iced matcha lattes, sauces and even can blend up biscuits for cheesecake bases (even though Nutribullet says you're not supposed to do that — I disagree). My culinary style would look very different without a Nutribullet. I discuss everything in detail in my 4.5 star Nutribullet Pro 900W review. There are so many reasons to love the Fellow Stagg EKG gooseneck kettle. For starters, have you seen it? It's literally the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen in my life. Secondly, it can keep water hot for an hour and it has precise temperature control. You can literally pick the degree you want your water heated to. And, the cherry on top, it can pour precisely, and at crazy controlled speeds of 1g/s. Check out my 4.5 star review of the Fellow EKG Stagg for full info. This sale is live in the M15 (smaller) and M30 (larger) sizes in this pictured blue color. I tested the M15 cooler bag and I gave it a 4.5-star rating in my Yeti M15 Hopper review. I use it literally all the time. The M30 can hold up to 42 cans (!!!) and the M15 can hold 32, so they will tide you over on long beach day trips or even weekend camping trips. The M30 and M15 can stay cold for up to 48 hours with proper prep and usage. I could talk about this espresso machine for the rest of my life. It's just so good. The espresso is delicious, with thick, creamy crema even with single-walled portafilters. The PID controller ensures my coffee is never weak or burned, and the auto milk frothing feature is perfect for hands-off baristas. In short, this machine is a beast in the best way. I discuss everything in 2,000-word detail in my 4.5 star Breville Bambino Plus review. I have never been in love with a vacuum cleaner like I am with the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra. I awarded it the rare perfect 5 stars in my review. In the "cons" section, I just wrote "literally nothing". Yes, I know $1,099 is pricey for a vacuum. But at $799, this vacuum is like a 11/10. Maybe even a 12/10. Let me run through just a few of the reasons why: it self empties, it can clean even the thickest pile rugs like no tomorrow, and it comes with two batteries. This will be the last vacuum you ever buy, trust me. I love this vacuum more than anything else I've ever reviewed. We're running our Amazon Prime Day live blog until the end of the sale, so be sure to check that out for last minute savings. Make sure to check out what freebies you can get this Prime Day before it's too late!

Molly-Mae is ‘obsessed' with 'extra powerful' Nutribullet blender with £20 off
Molly-Mae Hague has shared one of her favourite kitchen gadgets is the cream version of the Nutribullet blender – and it's now got £20 off in the Amazon Prime Day sale The Amazon Prime Day sale is the perfect opportunity to snap up any gadgets and appliances you've had your eye on for a while, all whilst saving yourself some money. One thing that's a staple in the kitchen is a blender, which can help speed up food preparation, or let you blitz up smoothies and soups in seconds with minimal effort. Nutribullets are often touted as one of the best blender brands around, so it's no surprise that Molly-Mae Hague has one in her own kitchen, although in truly Molly-Mae fashion, she wanted to get one that was as aesthetically pleasing as it was practical. Which is why when she finally managed to track down the 'matte sand' version of the Nutribullet Blender 900 Series, she couldn't wait to share it with fans. Tagging her manager Francesca Britton-Lynch, Molly-Mae shared: 'Francesca made it her mission to find this cream colourway in stock. Obsessed.' And good news for anyone else who's been trying to track down the unusual cream coloured Nutribullet Blender, because it's not only still in stock at Amazon, but it's also on sale in the Amazon Prime Day sale. Usually priced at £99.99, it's now discounted to £79.99 saving you £20. The Nutribullet Blender 900 Series has 50% more power than that original Nutribullet blender, meaning everything you blitz will come out smoother and more finely chopped. The powerful blades also help ensure even more nutrition is extracted from your ingredients by bursting seeds and shredding tough skins, and it's also great for things like crushing ice. Also included in Amazon's Prime Day sale is the Philips Daily Collection Mini Blender and Smoothie Maker, which is now £34.99 down from £49.99. It's compact size makes it perfect for making individual smoothies and blitzing ingredients without taking up too much space. You can also snap up the Nutri Ninja 700W Slim Blender & Smoothie Maker, which isn't on sale but is affordably priced at £59.99 on the Ninja website. However the new colourways of the Nutribullet Blender 900 Series have already proven popular with fans of the brand's original Nutribullet, and currently both the sand and jade versions are on sale in the Prime Day sale. They feature a matte finish that gives them a cool and modern look, and the compact size means you can leave them on your countertop without worrying about clutter. The blender also has great reviews from Amazon shoppers, with one saying: 'The extra power makes the difference against other like products. Value for money quality build nice design.' Another added: 'Good delivery, well packaged. Wow looks great, picked the blue one as my kitchen has blue. Works very well, quick and effective. Used to make smoothie with fruits, pumpkin seeds and walnuts. Completely blended, and very smooth. Great product.' Whilst a third agreed: 'Fab blender, which I bought to replace an older, smaller version. It does the job perfectly, I love the colour and it is so easy to use.' One shopper did say: 'Bought this to replace my previous Nutribullet which was getting a bit old and worn out. This one is supposed to be more powerful but it doesn't blend as well as the old one. Only large cups supplied which may be the problem. I think some lumps of fruit don't blend as the cup is not full enough. Have ordered the 18oz cup to see if the blending improves.' But others were thrilled with their purchase, chiming in: 'Love the colour and it's stronger than the one I had (bought when nutribullet was first launched to the UK market.'
