Does this make fine purees of things such as peas with skins? My stick blender doesn't so I have to push through a seive to get it fine enough

I use it to grind meat and it purees that just fine. I believe it would do just fine for the peas. I have been very happy with the performance of this grinder.

Not really. I got a finer puree of peas by using baby peas (petite pois), the skins are softer, but you will still be left with a puree with texture. For things like blueberries you will have to cook them and pass them through a seive if you want a really fine puree. Both my boys were fine with the skins left in but it will depend on what your baby prefers.

I have tried to puree thawed frozen peas in this and it was not a fine puree. You may have to cook it first to get that.

I think this blender is not good enough for fine purees. If you need fine purees then go for another one. Cheers !

Haven't tried it in the blender but do make smoothies with pumpkin seeds, chia, hemp seeds, nuts and frozen cranberries and frozen blueberries. I do have a Cuisinart food processors that I make butters in.

In a word, yes. Puree tutorial at the following link, if you need it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6PH6KZ83Lw

I make smoothies in my Ninja with Almond or Coconut Milk and fruit. I put the whey in after putting in the liquid and stir it up before adding fruit and haven't had any problems.

I've found it to be very good at this task. I've left my smoothie on the counter for an hour or toe, when I came back, it's still fully incorporated. Hope you like your blender.

If you blend long enough you get puree. I use it for green smoothies in which I put raw spinach and/or kale. I will end up with a puree of the spinach or kale, along with some bits that I like because it gives me something to "chew." The only problem I have with the Ninja that I didn't have with the VitaMixer is that I sometimes have to stop the Ninja, remove the top and scrape the sides. With the VitaMixer, I could use a plunger with the top on so didn't have to stop to scrape the sides.

It does work. The flour is not as fine as I would like it. It produces a lot of flour dust in the air. I covered the top with a slightly wet dish towel. My blender does just as good. I do not have a "Vitamix". That was recommended to me. Best Wishes.

I use it in fruit smoothies that I blend in a vita mixer. It's really smooth and I don't taste the grittiness. However, it's quite a bit of money for a smooth tasting shake. Had the vita mixer BEFORE purchasing the Hemp protein. You could look at the mixer as an "investment" I use it for all kinds of things. Hope this helps :)

I have never tried it. I make mine with ice and water to make it an actual shake. It only takes a minute each morning to make. I keep my blender on the countertop. You can try making it the night before and see how it works.

It seems that there are different kinds of powder and I think this one is external based. I purchased solely for my exfoliating scrub. The provider provided recipes after purchase and none were for food based items. I would consider contacting the company for more detailed information.

gave mine away as baby gifts. Dont think those really puree. You might be happier using a blender first and then adding the stringy food with fruit/ or something else to put through the grinder. Just speaking from experience of the similar one I had when my children were babies---years ago.

Yes, I tried it with just water and it was fine. I really love it with Almond Milk though. I also add a heaping teaspoon to smoothies every morning. Hard to mix with spoon, I use a stick blender.

I have not tried that yet. I have been using it for green smoothies, which it does fairly well. A few small chunks here and there

No I haven't. If I have a problem with the chopping of the kale or other vegetables (because I like my drink thick and use as little water as possible), I make sure the things I want pureed are on top. Then when I put the top on and turn it over, they are the first thing that get ground up. That seems to work.

I have not found this problem..might I suggest you use a very small amount of corn starch.just a wee pinch will help. I love my Kitchen aid chopper..worth the extra dollars..I have both chopped and pureed fruit and vegetables

My blender looks a little different. Maybe it creates a vacuum seal and you just need to use something to break the seal. I've not had that problem.

I think you should be able to get it pretty fine if you use enough water and do it for long enough. Also might depend on what you are pureeing, and how soft it is when you put it in. I precooked all of my baby food so it was fairly soft, then put it in the blender. I sometimes also had to shake or stir it during the process, to move the chunks around closer to the blades. I had success even with rotisserie chicken, making it smooth. But you definitely have to add water.
