Is the straw wide enough for smoothies? Thanks!

No, I wouldn't use this for smoothies. The straw is narrow. Juice would be fine, but not smoothies.

I use these for my smoothies as they do get cold, but they're not a problem unless you're holding the straw. It's not an issue if you're only drinking.

It seems fine for pouring. I make smoothie every morning and pour into fairly small-mouthed cup with no problem. The smoothie also varies in thickness, which does not seem to matter.

No, it doesn't have a wider end. I am guessing you have a lid that the straw can fit in. I think you would find with the weight of the straw it wouldn't fall out easy. I really enjoy mine a lot!

yes, but not the wide mouth size. Standard size fits perfectly. I use one each morning to make my smoothie, put the lid on and take it to work

If the smoothie was well blended then yes. I drink most smoothies out of a straw and the mouth opening is bigger than a straw, so yes if there aren't any chunks of ice or fruit to clog it.

I've used it for water & juice only. If the smoothie is not too thick it should be fine.

If I knew what a nutri bullet is, I could answer clearly. However, we have used a Waring Blender for over 55 years; and have ALWAYS gotten a 'smoothie' that we could drink thru a 1/4 inch diameter straw....hope this answer helps!

The opening is " across the center. I'm sure it would accommodate a fairly large straw. Wherever did you get glass straws? I want some!

No, they aren't quite wide enough for a thick drink; they're only slightly wider than a regular straw.

No, these are only for cold drinks. But it will keep a drink cold for a long time. I put smoothies in mine. Use pipe cleaners to clean out the straw.

I would say it takes a standard 1/4" straw - not the larger smoothie straw.

If you remove the silicone valve, it's absolutely suitable for a smoothie. I've given my daughter smoothies in hers with and without the valve and she has trouble sucking out the smoothie with the valve in.

The lip opening is more of a slit, so I would say a straw would not fit through the opening...Sorry

The straws are pretty wide. Outside measures at about 1/2 inch and the inside is about 3/8th inch. Also the are very flexible if that matters.

The opening that you drink from is *just* wide enough to also support a straw, but it has to be a tall straw, and it can't be the hard plastic kind; to fit, it has to push oblong just the tiniest bit. That said, I usually get a tall straw when I refill at QT or Racetrac, and that works fine.

Absolutely! I've been drinking green smoothies for 4 or 5 years now and using this same blender. I had one this morning with frozen spinach and frozen blueberries and oatmeal in it, among other things. I use smoothie straws, but I've used regular straws, too. I prefer the clear thicker ones if I can't get the smoothie straws. I can't speak for others, but this has been a great blender for me. I've been using it since 2009, I believe. A GE one blew up on me after one day of use. Make sure you put enough liquid in if you use this one. It labors if there isn't enough which took me a few days to figure out. I use about 1.5 cups of pure liquid (combo of water and almond milk) and that usually does the trick.
