Does this product work for smoothies ie blending fruit?

I have never tried it but I would imagine no. As mentioned before it's just a plastic blender piece. I do use it for making drinks cold with ice though as the spinning does melt the ice if it's only a small amount. For on the go smoothies I use a different blender which I do recommend: Hamilton Beach 51101B Personal Blender with Travel Lid, Black

Its just gota little plastic blender thing, not metal, so it doesn't cut up ice or fruit. It's beautiful for mixing powder protein or shakes powder.

I have only used it minimally for that....find it does okay with blueberries and softer fruit like that but would not use it for tougher fruits. Its blades are better suited to liquids and soft things like peanut butter. I should mention that I smushed up the blueberries first. The little plastic spinner is really for liquids and such.

Yes! That's primarily what we use it for - making health drinks with frozen fruit. It's better than a traditional blender in my experience.

I never tried that, but it does an adequate job with frozen fruits (while they are still frozen), so I would think this item would be a good and inexpensive way to blend cooked fruits and veggies for the wee one.

Yes it does. It makes the best green smoothies and fruit smoothies and also crushes all kinds of frozen fruit and ice. Hope this helps.

I've only used it for shakes and smoothies and its fabulous. I'm sure it would work for cocktails but I haven't tried it. Good luck!

hmmm, I'm not sure quite honestly. What are you trying to make? There is not a lot of power to this so if you are trying to make things like frozen smoothies and stuff I would steer clear. If you are just mixing powdered items with liquids and minor stuff then this will do the job just fine.

No, it only squeezes juice out of fruits or vegetables. If you want smoothies, get a blender instead.

I have used the stick blender to make smoothies with frozen fruit on many occasions. I find that it helps to move the blender up and down so that it doesn't jam up, and use plenty of liquid- even if adding it as you go. As long as the blades are able to turn freely, it seems to work fine.

I use this blender everyday to make a smoothie with big frozen strawberries and ice. So yes this will work quite well.

I have not tried that yet. I have been using it for green smoothies, which it does fairly well. A few small chunks here and there

It has 2 disk, 1 for juicing only and 1 for blending soft fruit , which is a smooth consistency . But this is not a blender for making smoothies. This is a powerful juicer for extracting vegetable and fruit juices.

No. It's a juicer, not a blender. It's amazing but it's not a multi-purpose machine.

I don't think it juices but it turns frozen fruit into smoothies with ease.

Yes it does blend them to smoothie consistency. In fact yesterday I put in a block of frozen raspberries with coconut milk and it made a delicious smoothy. I even chopped link sausage in it yesterday.

Not really. It is all about juice extraction. It will puree, but that is more for soups and sauces. For smoothies you want the Ninja, or spend more money and get the vitamix.

I think so, depending upon what you're chopping. I mainly use the blender for smoothies. Sor far great. It chops strawberries very good.

This more of a strictly juicing product. It would probably be better to use a blender because it allows the entire fruit to be used in the drink. This product just extracts the juice and leaves lots of pulp.
