Can I add frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc? 1 person said frozen berries don't get ground up/smooshed.

I add frozen blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries all the time, along with bananas. I thaw all of these for 15 minutes, and they get ground up.

I haven't tried that yet. But I have a Yonanas Recipe book that has 120 recipes -- includes frozen berries. The pictures look like it worked with a few chunks in it. The recipes also call for frozen chocolate chips, etc. It might come out perfectly smooth, but if you're ok with some chunks, go for it.

I core an apple but leave all of the skin on. I did put whole strawberry into the blender and it was fine. We like to add some celery even the leaves and it gives the smoothie a unique flavor. I add kale, spinach, fresh ginger root. Just experiment. If you find one taste does not suit you, then leave it out the next time and try another ingredient. We mix fruits and veggies and they appeal to the whole family. The fruit sweeten up the smoothie so everyone enjoys them.

Not a separate ice core but there is no reason you cannot put ice in the core used for strawberries, lemons, lines, berries, etc.

I found a basic berry smoothie recipe that I use. 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 cup frozen mixed berries (blue, ras and black), 2 cups almond milk, .5 cup water, 1 serving of protein powder. I use the defrost setting on my microwave to thaw the berries, then add the other ingredients and mix for about 30 seconds with my Nutibullet.

I bought this for my sister and only had the chance to use it once at her house. I blended frozen strawberries and it had a little trouble. I think as long as the carrots weren't frozen it could probably do it.

I accidentally froze some. I was interrupted and put my bowl of ice cream in the freezer when I answered the front door. When I got back to the ice cream a few hours later the boba on top were frozen solid. they didn't stay frozen very long but were delicious frozen. They do stick together frozen.

To get the average bowl of frozen fruit (I liken it to a bowl of ice cream) I usually use the equivalent of two frozen bananas, plus half a cup of berries. The bananas work well and masquerade for the mouth feel of ice cream. I've used any number of banana combinations with blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and melon. The best thing is to freeze a whole bunch of fruit on a cookie sheet so they stay separate and then bag them up and keep them frozen for when you need them. The directions state to bring the frozen fruit out for 10 minutes before processing and that works well. We are very happy with the machine and have 'guilt free' desserts all summer. Hope that helps.

I don't see why not. I have put banana and avocado in there to blend & added a bit of water to thin the mixture. I've also put sturdier chunks-apple, pear, cranberries-in the food mill. However I have not tried ice chunks or frozen produce.

I planted a variety of plants last year including pansies and coleus. Since blueberries and raspberries are more bushy plants than strawberries I don't know how they would workout.

I made some with leftover smoothie this morning and 4hrs later they're frozen. I wasn't checking on them regularly though.

We haven't tried veggies. I've done fruit smoothies with frozen fruit. It works well with frozen fruit chucks (the size of pineapple chunks) My daughter is in college and likes to make a smoothie on her way to class in the morning.

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 use orange juice instead of water, and also frozen blueberries and cherries. Surprised me how tasty, and that's with kale, spinach, and the rest of the garden.

I've used only Pomona's Pectin for this recipe: 2 lb bag frozen wild blueberries, two 12 oz. pkgs frozen dark cherries (sliced to check for pits), 1/2 cup water, 3 1/2 tsp pectin (lightly sprinkled while stirring the simmering fruit) and 3 1/2 tsp calcium water (stir in after pectin is dissolved). This is not Pomona's directions but always works for me. Cover mixture and allow to cool before refrigerating. I would add 1/3 to 1/2 cup white sugar to this recipe for a sweeter berry preserve. Stir in one tsp of organic lemon oil after mixture is prepared for additional flavor.

what you mean for harder veggies, I always do frozen carrots and broccoli and spinach and celery, frozen fruits, so far all good, if you do strawberries for example you wont feel the seeds. Hope to help you with my answer. And if it is of further help all is done in seconds. Little noisy because of the 2 hp but if you put a towel on the table it helps.

True..... tho I haven't noticed strawberry seeds. I have put blackberries in with the strawberries, and it definitely does not grind blackberries. I asked a long-time user and she said "just get used to the seeds!" I want thick smoothies, so I don't use more liquid, just "enjoy" the bits of crunch!
