No it won't it's just for liquids anything thicker it won't mix. Just mixes doesn't blend.

Blending probably won't help. There might be a touch of grittiness to this but I have not noticed it. I do put it in a blender when I add coconut butter to smoothies, and usually just a spoonful to go along with a piece of dark chocolate for dessert. Incredibly tasty and good for you. I think this brand and another called Tropical Traditions are going to be the highest quality - and least gritty - you can find.

I haven't tried making a green smoothie. I personally can't imagine it being effective considering it has a hard time keeping stuff in with just liquid and a banana lol. So I don't recommend. GOOD Luck :)

To be honest I have only used it to blend oatmeal, bananas, peanut butter and milk, so I can't really say how it would handle those veggies. If those veggies were in water or chicken stock I bet they would blend fine.

No problem with a frozen banana,frozen strawberries, frozen mango, and frozen blueberries with kale and spinach all together. Blends smoothly (no pun).

Yes. It easily mixes with water, milk, formula And breast milk. It doesnt taste appealing so i mash a banana and mix it with it to get my son to eat it v

I think it will be fine. I mixed mine with some strawberries and yogurt and a little water and it was good. You might have to play with the proportions a bit to get the taste and consistency right. Hope it's good!

I think it works fine, just let it run longer if you want a creamer texture. I use walnuts, almonds, spinach, all the berries and bananas with a little ice and about a 1/4 cup of water. I put alot of spinach or 50/50 blend salad in mine, yummy

I put in raw carrots and it blended them very smooth without even breaking a sweat. I am drinking a carrot, apple, pear, and pineapple smoothly and the carrots are so blended that they are not even gritty or powdery. They seem perfectly liquified (the pears and apples have a very slight grit to them, but not the carrots). I am going to be trying to do some lemon rinds and will hopefully report here how they work when I do...

I love this mixer. It is very convenient but I have have never tried to puree a banana.

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.

We like the vanilla and chocolate, and it helps if you like skim or almond milk instead of water. We have also added bananas, strawberries, yogurt, frozen yogurt and ice. I bought the blender (GNC) and it mixes up well.Hope that info helped you out. Trial and error. Good Luck

I agree with the other responder. Great out the jar. It's amazing on banana once it's warmed up a bit so it's soft. Get some and try it out.

I personally bought this Ninja for fruits and vegetables. I found no problem using it. It blended well. I also tried some meat and fish, not bad as well. It is only one speed with no botton. easy to use. I would give 5 star for it. I do mostly fruit smoothies, absolute no problem at all and satisfied.

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

No, but if you want to make soft food smoother (bananas, avacado) or take fibers out of food that are soft (strings on cooked beans, skins from cooked peas) it works well. You'd still need a blender or food processor.

No, it won't be that smooth. You can make purees but it will be somewhat thick/slightly chunky.
