Can anyone tell me if seeds in fruit such as blackberries are chopped up finely enough not to be gritty in a smoothie.

yes. you can't taste them/can't tell they are in there. it can even grind up apple seeds.

I see no reason why adding the capsule content to a healthy fruit smoothie would be a problem. I have also actually opened the capsules and applied the powder mixed with coconut oil to wounds, which did seem to help with healing.

I make delicious smoothies every morning. You can get smoothie recipes online and after some experimenting you will find what flavors you enjoy and what to add to make them more to your liking. Many people juice, however I like the fact thatI am also getting fiber. The blending of fruits and vegetables was new to me but I really enjoy my morning smoothies. Any juice, water, or ice will thin out the mixture. I love my Vitamix!.

When I created a smoothie with a cup of frozen blueberries the blender worked hard to chop through the blueberries, but it finally succeeded. The peanut butter should not be a problem but it may take a minute or two to get through it. A five inch jar of pb should not be a problem.

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.

I make a veggie smoothie almost every morning with a variety of veggies, including spinach, kale, beets, avocado, onion, celery, and don't have the chew. Kale was a little "gritty", but was still drinkable.

They were not soft. They were more like hard raisins. I used them in my smoothies so it didn't make a difference to me.

it's slightly gritty if you don't use a good blender. Personally, I wouldn't give children protein supplements, I would give them whole foods.

I strongly recommend thoroughly grinding the flax seed prior to using in a smoothie. Also, please note that the ground flax seed tends to thicken liquids so additional fluid may be required to achieve your preferred consistency.

I think it is pretty mild and all but disappears in a smoothie made with banana, strawberry etc. I also add Kale or spinach and a very small amount of apple juice or honey.... a great breakfast!!

According to the Booklet this isn't able to do "soft fruits". As in banana, avacados, mangos. It probably can, but it probably will clog it up. Smoothies are more blenders.

I add frozen blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries all the time, along with bananas. I thaw all of these for 15 minutes, and they get ground up.

Yes. These are freeze dried and delicious. They last a long time, too. After I bought this package, I went and bought the quart sized beans and fruit. The fruit makes the best smoothies! You will have no trouble backpacking with these as they are very light weight.

I personally like to cut some of the fruit at least in half. Yeah, seeds and all. Maybe not the peel of an orange and such. The great thing is, the vitamix comes with an instructional DVD.

In my experience, YES! I add flax seed and frozen fruit to my greens (spinach, kale and chard) so it is a thick smoothie, but it blends it up great.

I'm not sure but the taste is a dramatic difference. We can actually put it in fruit smoothies without ruining the flavor.
