If prepared in a blender with frozen fruit, will this have a foamy texture?

In order to answer this question, I tried it with frozen strawberries, & milk. It was thick and creamy, but really needed sweetener(I used stevia) It was OK but would not be my first choice with fruit. I normally add it to soups, warm or cold vegetable smoothies, or tomato juice. In my opinion, it works best for the savory rather than the sweet.

We typically prepare it with almond milk, strawberries, xylitol or honey, flaxseed, etc. Not foamy, just thick and yummy! We like it because there is nothing but the pea protein, excellent product!

I do it with frozen fruit and non-dairy milk and it tastes like a normal smoothie.

I use frozen fruit. It does not cause a foamy texture. My challenge with this particular protein powder is that I can never get rid of the chalky texture that seems to be present no matter what I mix with it.

Yes, you will need to freeze it. It gets all gritty and stuff if you do not.

I throw Kale into my smoothies along with frozen fruit. I put it on high and it auto shuts off in three minutes.There is nothing chewy about it - it is a smooth smoothy!

Hmmm, I don't recall getting recipes, but I just experiment. My favorite now is to put in a combination of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries with a roughly equal portion to all that of strawberries. Then I throw in about 5 bananas (this pretty much is all that will fit in my Vita-mix). I add blue agave for sweetening and, my best part, chocolate! I use the Hershey's sundae double chocolate. I notice when it is still liquid, this "smoothie" has a slight bitter taste from the chocolate, but when frozen, it just tastes great. The chocolate doesn't freeze "hard" like the other stuff does so, when mixed together, it gives a popsicle that isn't so rock hard either. I don't put any water (or ice), milk, or other liquid in with it when blending.

if you add enough ice then the fruit will lose it's thick consistency and become more liquid-like. depending on what kind of fruit that you put in it will taste more or less like a liquid. for instance, if you put raspberries in the blender then it will taste less like a liquid because the seeds, which have been blended into tiny pieces, will remain

Hi Elizabeth, if I'm only going to have a smoothie as a meal, then I normally blend in lots of frozen fruits and mix with juice. At other times, I add vegetables. It's very filling.

Greetings! Yes! :) I've "juiced" coconuts many times. Absolutely delicious! Crack open the coconut, drain the water in a blender (I have a vitamix)....make sure the water is clear, not cloudy. Crack out pieces of coconut, put in blender with coconut water, rough chop/blend. Feed into the tribest and watch as the milk pour out. Yummy. I freeze the dry pulp in ice cube trays and use when blending smoothies....great fiber. I absolutely love my tribest. The banana and peach "ice cream" is amazing. I keep frozen fruits in the freezer to make the ice cream or sorbets. Hope this helps. Greetings! Yes! :) I've "juiced" coconuts many times. Absolutely delicious!

you should ask the mfg. I always core my fruit, so do not know for sure. would guess yes, but take a bit longer. be sure to use pulse mode to breakup. for all veggies I use a juicer and then put that mix into the blender as ice cubes.

The texture is more of an icy , but as they melt it becomes smoother. I think it also depends on the ingredients you use. The one I made was kale, spinach, chia, strawberry, pineapple, blueberry, raspberry, honey and water. I put all those ingredients in my Nutribullet and then poured it into the Zoku and in 7 minutes they were done and they were supper delicious, my kids loved them and wanted to have two at a time.... Hope this helps!

Depends in the contents. Most fruit smoothies come out good. Leafy add ins don't get fully blended. For some reason frozen blueberries don't turn out so well either.

I haven't used it to blend frozen...only fresh strawberries...bananas...peaches and ice. Ran it for 3 days straight and made approx 250 smoothies each day. It still works great. I would recommend you let your fruit soften a little if possiblehope this helps

It all depends on the recipe. If the recipe has less butterfat and sugar (like ice milk) then it gets icy and hard. More butterfat, more heavy cream, cream cheese, etc. and it stays scoopable. If it has alcohol in it (e.g. rum, Cointreau) it stays slushy. what you want is a r ecipe that is "just enough" of butterfat, surgar and alcohol to give you the texture you like.

I mix my smoothies with strawberries, banana and milk - I prefer this to be unflavored so I can use my own flavors. It mixes perfectly with some ice in my blender.

I tried it in the Yoyonas maker. It turned out better when I blended the PB2 mix separately from the frozen bananas then just mixed it together when already smooth, otherwise it was lumpy for me, at least the first time I tried it. I also had success mixing 6 oz. frozen bananas, 10 oz. water, and 6 tbsp. peanut butter mix in a smoothie mixer, which turned into the consistency of a peanut butter milkshake.

Not really. It's designed to turn frozen fruit into a creamy ice cream like dessert. It has no freezing capacity.

Yes. About 1 1/2 yrs from the time I purchased it. If you were concerned about it going bad and were close to the date it would likely be fine in the freezer. Just give yourself plenty of time to warm it up to use. That may change the texture but not likely since it is creamy with small bits of coconut in it. I love this stuff!

Absolutely!! We make fruit smoothies all the time using frozen fruit. It also is easy to make milk shakes with those ingredients.
