Will it work on ice cubes in smoothies?

It works on frozen fruit, so I suspect it will do okay with ice cubes -- if you take certain precautions. The motor is not as strong as a regular blender. You might have to "bounce" the hand blender a bit and make sure to have enough liquid in your container to help move things around. Otherwise the blade simply gets blocked and the blender gets hot.

I purchased mine to use in making soap. I have a blender for smoothies etc.

I purchased it for a single purpose use, to make soap, so I don't know about ice or other solid food use. Maybe another purchaser will have the answer.

Yes! I have had mine for about a year and a half - my ice cubes still get crushed into a snowlike consistancy! We make smoothies all the time.

I don't know for sure, I have only used ice packs. It seems too thin of a bag to use with ice cubes.

yes, absolutely . The only tip i have is if it is having trouble blending take the blades off and shake the prod around a bit. if it is too full it creates a sort of vaccume other than that it works perfect with ice or frozen fruit.

I haven't tried this one specifically for ice cubes, but I do have silicone ice molds that work very well. Seeing as it's made of the same material, I don't think why it wouldn't.

I have not used it with ice cubes. I can't imagine that ice cubes would work as well as the ice forms it comes with. The ice would most likely by more course.

Yes. The texture of the ice can vary depending on how long you blend the shaved ice. If you like slushie ice, this machine will deliver.

Have not used it for this purpose, but would suggest trying a small quantity of mini ice cubes, remember, this is a light duty blender.

Not sure but my guess is no....this blade attaches to individual cups for the Magic Bullet, I don't think it will work on a blender.

Yes. I successfully added it to a Smoothie. It was good. I didn't try it with only water. It's a quality product I like it.

Doubt it. There are recipes included in the Instruction Manual on how to mince frozen fruit into "ice creams" or sorbets, but we have not tried this. Think you need a blender to do smoothies, as this is a low-speed juicer meant to preserve full nutritional value of fruits and veggies.

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.

The instruction and recipe booklet with it says it does...I've never tried it...I just use it for smoothies.

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 have my doubts it would have enough power to mix anything with ice involved.I ended up donated my blender to a charity. Not of any use for making protein smoothies with frozen berries either!

Yes! It works great in a fruit smoothie. You can also just add it to almond milk, but it is not as tasty.

sorry have not tried it with ice. However it blends everything else well. simple and compact, love it on the go.
