blend anything besides smoothies and drinks?

Carl: yes, I've blended soups; however, I mainly bought it for smoothies as I buy fresh fruits and then freeze them. The fruit is then like blending solid ice (I like my smoothies thick & cold). That's why I burned so many other, less durable blenders. Hope that helps.

I use it for everything. Blend soups, pudding, hummus, gazpacho.... It has been very multifunctional for me.

I used it for blending soup and marinara sauce before I got an immersion blender. An immersion blender is much better for that - I can control the level of smoothness and it's less cleanup. I think the blender is best for drinks.

@Carl D.I've had this blender for a couple of months now and I've used it to make smoothies (with ice) and for pesto a couple of times (pine nuts, almonds). I I like a smooth consistency, and I get that with this blender. Also, it's not noisy, which is an important factor especially in an apartment. The construction is solid, cleaning is quite easy as well. I rinse out the jar with regular dish soap and neither the jar nor the blades have any lingering, garlicky or other ingredient smells. Although if you need to make smoothies and such for large gatherings, you'll need a larger capacity. I'd say this blender is perfect for a family of four. @Carl D.I've had this blender for a couple of months now and I've used it to make smoothies (with ice) and for pesto a couple of times (pine nuts, almonds).

I use coconut milk and sometimes I use almond milk. Either one is great. I haven't used rice milk, but I'm sure that would be fine. I usually add frozen (organic) strawberries and blueberries to it as well and blend. Makes a great smoothy without having to add any ice or extra sugar.

Hi, I mix it with fresh fruit, almond milk, add to smoothies or simply with almond milk (I don't drink milk, but you can use regular milk).

YOu can use the juice from the juicer to add to smoothies which I have done. But mostly I use it as a juicer only

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.

Go to their website. They have several tutorials on different ways to mix and take internaly.

Yes, it does. You don't have to put alcohol in the drink. I've used it with fresh berries, yogurt, and juice to make smoothies. I think it gives a better texture than with my old blender because there are never random chunks of ice in the bottom. You do not have to always use ice either--you can manually blend without shaving the ice and vice versa.

blends any vegetable or fruit well - I makes smoothies and throw everything in -- you do need some liquid, though--actually never tried without some kind of liquid. its a great little blender - easy to clean - not a bunch of parts! I am on my second one - I dropped and broke the spinner mechanism - my fault

You can mix it with anything liquid, me myself I use v8 smoothies you can use anything to give it a good taste because without it, you might not be able to stomach it.

yes. I blend raw oranges, apples, grapefruit all the time to make fresh fruit drinks. Elite does a great job. It's quick and easy. Enjoy.

I mix it with something called Joint Juice. You can buy it in cases from Costco, or from places like Walgreens in some areas. It is much easier to drink, plus the joint juice has chondroitin/glucosine which helps your body's joints!

You can make anything you want in this bad boy. You put the liquid in the pitcher and the ice is on the top of the machine, so you can mix up anything you like. Hope that helps!

You can make your drinks to almost any consistency. Just add more ice or bananas. That can make it has hard as ice cream or as soft as a smoothie

Blend with water, ice, frozen fruit like a golden fruit blend (mango, pineapple, strawberry) or triple berry blend (raspberry, blackberry, blueberry), and almond milk.

I have had better success mixing with cold beverages like milk & Carnation SF instant breakfast mix. You can also add to mashed potatoes, sprinkle it on top of veggies then toss to mix.
