can it make a smoothie?

I've never tried to make a smoothie with it. I have a stick blender for that. The food processor has a large S blade. My stick blender has a small S blade. I would rather use a stick blender or a regular blender to make a smoothie.

No. The blades spin too slowly, it purees, I guess you can approach something like a badly blended smoothie if you run it for a long long time, risking burning the cheap motor. For fruits and smoothies its all about rpm, and this is a chopping device, not a blending device. And don't even think about throwing ice into this, food processors only handle what you can cut with a knife.

You should be able to make a smoothie. But do keep in mind the "liquid" limit so it won't run out under your blade. That is with any food processor. If you have a regular blender that would probably work better for you but this would if it is all you have.

YOu can use the juice from the juicer to add to smoothies which I have done. But mostly I use it as a juicer only

Nope which was a disappointment. It can make a great smoothie though. When I tried to juice added coconut water it came out like a smoothie vs juice.

Doubt it. There are recipes included in the Instruction Manual on how to mince frozen fruit into "ice creams" or sorbets, but we have not tried this. Think you need a blender to do smoothies, as this is a low-speed juicer meant to preserve full nutritional value of fruits and veggies.

Yes and it works great! My smoothies blend up so much faster and smoother. Use it daily and have had no problems.

By itself, but I don't see why you couldn't add it to a smoothie. It's probably really good in a smoothie. It's also good by itself.

Yes. I use it to make smoothies. It makes short work of frozen strawberries and frozen bananas as well.

Probably not. It is not the intended use.The blender is for soft fruits and veggies.

Depends on what you are making. I made the mistake of making a pretty thick smoothie that didn't mix too well until I added more juice. As long as you have enough liquid in it to allow the ingredients to move, the blender works very well.

I wish I had gotten this in place of my other blender, but yes, it makes smoothies. Make sure the container you use is the tall slender one and move the wand slowly up and down in the blender. It should look like baby food. Kale will need to be torn into small pieces without stems. Good luck!

No this is a very high quality juicer. You can use the juice to blend into smoothies.

Not to my knowledge. However, it makes a great smoothie. Had one this morning.

Only if you are making the smoothies in a blender first..but you can easily use this to drink smoothies! (just not to make them)

I've done it with a little less than a cup of water and it dissolved completely, but there is no doubt it'll mix well with a smoothie.. so it'll mix!

I'm not sure if smoothies can be made with it since I specifically bought it to juice. I would recommend purchasing a Bullet or something in that order for smoothies.

yes, but it's not that sharp. after like a week that i started using it My blender would leave big pieces of food.

I think you could put a thin smoothie in but only if you had a good straw brush to clean it with after. Personally, I wouldn't put a smoothie in it but it could be a good idea.
