Can I use this to mix non-instant dry milk powder (lumps up), or a blender...?

I have not tried non-instant milk powder. Sounds like it has the butter fat still in it. I would think warm water would help it mix better (not hot) and a small amt (1/4 tsp) of Safflower Oil (NOT SUNflower oil) would help. Then it would probably mix just fine and leave enough room for the shaking action.

I can tell you that I use it every day for a protein shake/Visalus/Beachbody and it works great. That powder texture and consistency is the same. So, I'd say SHAKE WELL.

No. It's a blender. I use it to mixcake mixes, make smoothies, blend gravy, soups, etc.I also use it to make fruit and vegetable purees.

Hello Tiffany, I use this to make coconut flour (in the food processor) and combine it with almond flour to make cookies every week. I'm sure you can use it to make coconut milk. You can use your blender to mix the shredded coconut and water until smooth. If you want to make a little sweet, add a little raw honey. Here is a link with instructions I found on the web. I'm going to try this at home as well (my husband can't have dairy).

Im sure you can. Ive always mixed mine with whole milk. Just make sure you stir it good because it doesnt mix very well

You can mix it with water. Blending makes it foam, using a shake bottle gets best results.

I use a blender bottle to mix this. Give it a vigorous shake for 30 seconds or so and it's believed thoroughly

I did not find it dissolve well in a simple shaker cup. I recommend a blender.

The mixing instructions are 1/2 cup of the powder to 1/4 cup water. For me, it tasted dreadful and I would not use it even for cooking. It might be better to substitute milk for the water.

Yes you can. You have to be careful not to put anything hard or hard frozen in it. It will strip out some of the plastic parts inside the blender. Also do not over load it. It is one of the better blenders that I know of but, it can be damaged easily if you are not careful.

If you already have a blendtec or a vitamix and you only want to make almond milk, you absolutely don't need this. I only make almond milk in my vitamix. I use the Soyajoy to cook soymilk (because boiling it on the stovetop became a nightmare), but I then re-blend the soymilk in my vitamix because this thing is worthless as a blender.

Yes. The blender will foam the milk to quickly and not give you the control you need.

No I don't think so. It's fine but it's not powder fine and probably wouldn't dissolve in the milk.

Honestly I don't see why it wouldn't be able to. It turns ice into dust in a matter of seconds, it really has made my life a lot easier. I haven't used this blender for dry goods and don't have any experience doing that so I can't guarantee it. There is a recipe guide that it comes with for a "Crunchy Thai Peanut Spread" and the first step for making that is to take two cups roasted peanuts and pulse on "option 1" until chunky. So I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue.

I wouldn't use it for large batches of liquid. The center is about 2" high so a blender might work better for you.

I would advise you to try a different blender. Perhaps I don't "stack" the blender correctly, but even moderately thick smoothies/shakes get hung up and I end up smacking the side in order to get it to mix. I prefer mine relatively thin (think drinkable yogurt consistency) so it works fine for me; I just don't think it'll handle something that thick. If you're able, check out a VitaMix - those suckers would blend a leather boot into drinkable form.

Oh,sorry,I don't know. I just use it to fit Milk powder or Snacks. So,maybe you can try,but I don't make sure. At last,My English isn't well ,so...hehehe.

I love this product, but it does not mix easily with water. You can either make a paste and then dilute it with water, or use a blender to mix it. I prefer the latter method to mix it with milk.
