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.

I have used a blender, a shaker, and even a milkshake blender. While the both blenders do end up with a slightly more creamy and airy end result, the shaker is plenty good. Really unless you are wanting to add ice or frozen fruit why dirty the blender AND a glass when you can just use a shaker.

Use a magic bullet or hand shaker. It's easy to mix. Very smooth not clumpy

Mix water, or milk, or cream, etc., a little at a time until you get the right consistency. It mixes easily and does not lump. It's a good substitute when you don't have fresh, so I keep it on hand.

I have never tried it. I make mine with ice and water to make it an actual shake. It only takes a minute each morning to make. I keep my blender on the countertop. You can try making it the night before and see how it works.

I would imagine you would use like a Fox's Ubet syrup. Milk, coffee, in the blender. Not sure tho, sorry.

Probably not. Too light weight. Designed for beverages that require mixing but not pulverizing. I used for juice with small amount of protein powder, or stirring up chocolate milk. Mine didn't last but a couple of weeks, using only 1 or 2x/day. Battery OK, mixer stopped working. I suggest looking at the baby food grinders that have a crank. Seem to range about $9-15. They are small and easy to take apart to wash, so you don't have to deal with a big blender. I saw one that works like a sieve in a bowl, so you mash the food and the puree goes into the bowl. Lift out the sieve and serve from bowl. If you cook rice soft enough, you can mash the rice thru any sieve you have(larger mesh is best). Might even be able to mash it fine enough with a fork.

I use it for cocoa powder (cappuccino drink), and it works great. Just be careful to keep it in an upright position during storage to minimize excess powder spillage.

Have not used it for this purpose, but would suggest trying a small quantity of mini ice cubes, remember, this is a light duty blender.

It mixes in water fairly easily, but not "instantly". A few seconds in an ordinary blender is sufficient. Shaking it manually, takes about 30 seconds to mix.

I use almond milk, in a vitamix blender, about half speed. I suppose it would clump in water if you don't use a blender to mix. Some kind of high speed electric mixer is what you need. All protein powders are hard to mix by hand. Blend some coffe into the almond milk, that should work good and still be lo calorie.

I think you could - just remember to follow the instructions on how long the spurts of chopping should be. But I would use this for the chopping and then to puree I would use one of the hand blenders - that would make it really smooth.

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

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

NOt a good idea. You can puree items, but liquidy items are best suited for a blender. Especially a high-powered Vitamix! I recommend it!

I don't know; I've never tried that. It can be ground into flour, or cooked as a whole grain. If your blender can grind tough grains like rice, than it should be able to do this, too.

I have not mixed it with just water or coffee but use it more for fruit smoothies. I would use a blender to get the powder not to clump.
