How is it at blending chia, flax, and oats?

I put two tablespoons of flax seed in my protein shakes and it pulverizes them. I have also put oat meal in as well with similar results. Without liquid, I have never tried.

In the small container I put kale, baby spinach ( 1 cup each) a banana, at least a cup of berries and some other fruit like half an apple or peach. Then fill to the line liquid of your choice. I use water, juice or almond milk usually. I like this better than juicing. It's less messy and you get all the fiber as well as nutrients.

I haven't ground almonds yet but I have ground oats and Himalayan salt. It ground the oatmeal almost as finely as what I've purchased from the grocery store. The Himalayan salt chunks, ground into an extremely fine powder, almost too fine. Also, it seems like there's not a lot of variation from fine to course. It all seems about the same. One more important thing.... you have to take it apart EVERY TIME YOU USE IT! If you don't take it apart, stuff will be all stuck up inside the grinder and it may get all disgusting. It's not difficult, but it's a hassle.

Sorry, I do not know. I've blended mostly fruit and dairy products. I did blend well-cooked broccoli for soup without a problem. I would think spinach would be fine. Kale... I couldn't predict; perhaps if you removed tough stems and cooked until quite tender.

I have a Vitamix 7500 and add the organic flax seeds whole. I use them in my kale shakes, which are pretty *hard-core* and blend for about 1.5 minutes.

Perfect for flax seeds. Use it on my granola each morning. Note, it doesn't grind much with each twist. Takes me about 30 turns or so to get a tablespoon of ground flax seeds. Very smooth action and quality construction.

Well, I threw in 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries, 3 frozen strawberries and a handful of spinach. I didn't have any almond milk, so I added about a cup of water and 1/4 cup of almonds and blended it to oblivion. :) I thought it was delicious. Maybe the "almond milk" helped. I have put a little scoop of plain yogurt in sometimes, too. I have also done it with a couple of oranges and some ice (instead of OJ) and that worked great, too. I usually throw in some greens and can't even taste them. :)

Oh sure, I put in about a cup to a cup an a half of kale or spinach, and then about a half of cup whichever berries are in season, I'll also add any other veggies I need to use up, likes cukes, peppers, celery, etc. I put one big scoop of the plant fusion, plus a couple tablespoons of ground flaxseed. Blend well!

I have ground large quanitites of almonds,works well, however not to a super fine flour, but a nice usuable flour. Flax seeds for 1/4 C ..never tried the bowl is large and i dont think such a smallquanity would yeild much sucess due ro size of bowl and quanity of flax seed. Iwould use a basic coffee/ nut grinder, that what I usually use for my flax seed gringding

I'll add my comment to the mix.I measure the rice with the rice cup, put it in the bowl, and fill to the appropriate line based on the cups of dry rice you put in the bowl.For steel cut oats, I use the rice measure and the porridge scale, and use the porridge setting. I put in a little butter or coconut oil to prevent boilover, and it comes out spectacular.

It mixes pretty well. I was not wild about the taste in a smoothie, but wasn't bad in soup.

I put a little bit of olive oil or butter cook for 30 sec. stir to help the oats stay fluffy. then continue to cook.

I usually just use the Synergy blend as what I use. But I don't think that it would hurt anything to mix and match. You may find something that you like even better.

I have mixed it with applesauce, but I mainly use it with oatmeal or yogart. Sometimes I put it in my soup and mix it with my vegetables.

instead of eggs I used "flax eggs". I mixed 2 tablespoons of ground flax with 6 tablespoons of water and let sit for about 5-7 minutes to thicken up. I then followed the instructions on the package. this was in the reviews.

I blend apples, celery, cucumber, ginger, and fresh lemon juice. I add some water and am able to drink it as a thick shake. No chunks whatsoever in the shake. Hope this helps you.
