Can I use this to mix non-instant dry milk powder (lumps up), or a blender...?

I have not tried non-instant milk powder. Sounds like it has the butter fat still in it. I would think warm water would help it mix better (not hot) and a small amt (1/4 tsp) of Safflower Oil (NOT SUNflower oil) would help. Then it would probably mix just fine and leave enough room for the shaking action.

I can tell you that I use it every day for a protein shake/Visalus/Beachbody and it works great. That powder texture and consistency is the same. So, I'd say SHAKE WELL.

I was not able to do it. The blender's jar/canister is too large and the mixture sticks to the sides. It may work if the nuts are crushed in some manner and you start with very small pieces. Even then doubtful.

Very well. As with most protein powders, it does have a tendency to cling to the sides if you our it in while it's not running then turn it in (our maybe that's my blender). It doesn't settle, however, and quickly mixes in with water, soy milk, almond milk and coconut. Have not tried with cow milk, but that typical mixes even better

There will be a significant solid chunk of coconut cream in the can (the good stuff!). This allows you to just use that for whipping or thickening foods but if you want the whole can, you can shake it but there will still be some chunks. I find a whisk will do a decent job but if you want a completely smooth milk, you'll need a blender, mixer, etc. to get it smooth. You can also warm it slightly which will also help blending. Hope that helps.

Oh gosh no. It's literally a small motor with a plastic mixer that spins. It's good only to mix powder in liquid.

I did not find it dissolve well in a simple shaker cup. I recommend a blender.

there is an attachment that comes with the mixer for that kind of mixing, good for ice cream and milk, (not ice)

Probably not. Too light weight. Designed for beverages that require mixing but not pulverizing. I used for juice with small amount of protein powder, or stirring up chocolate milk. Mine didn't last but a couple of weeks, using only 1 or 2x/day. Battery OK, mixer stopped working. I suggest looking at the baby food grinders that have a crank. Seem to range about $9-15. They are small and easy to take apart to wash, so you don't have to deal with a big blender. I saw one that works like a sieve in a bowl, so you mash the food and the puree goes into the bowl. Lift out the sieve and serve from bowl. If you cook rice soft enough, you can mash the rice thru any sieve you have(larger mesh is best). Might even be able to mash it fine enough with a fork.

Not a good idea...when you make the smoothie, after a period of time there will be a separation of the heavy/light ingredients.you can probably remix with a very short mix again

I use a Magic Bullet mini blender and it turns the protein powder and whatever liquid (I use almond milk) into a milkshake-like consistency. I've done it this way since I started drinking Spiru-Tein (which I love) and have never had a problem with lumps or needed to strain it. Any blender, large or small, would do the trick. Hope this helps.

Use a magic bullet or hand shaker. It's easy to mix. Very smooth not clumpy

I wouldn't use it for large batches of liquid. The center is about 2" high so a blender might work better for you.

The mixing instructions are 1/2 cup of the powder to 1/4 cup water. For me, it tasted dreadful and I would not use it even for cooking. It might be better to substitute milk for the water.

Im sure you can. Ive always mixed mine with whole milk. Just make sure you stir it good because it doesnt mix very well

I love this product, but it does not mix easily with water. You can either make a paste and then dilute it with water, or use a blender to mix it. I prefer the latter method to mix it with milk.

I wouldn't but you could mix something thin like chocolate milk. We have only mixed little blocks, puff balls, paper pieces, etc. I don't want to get anything sweet up into the motor section of the mixer.

It is not a blender or mixer in the same respect as the kitchen appliances. This mixer is only for liquids. You can scramble raw eggs in it, protein drinks, lemonaid etc. Lighter liquids; for instance you cant make an Ice cream shake in it; the ice cream is too thick, or you cant put in fresh fruit and expect it to blend or chop it up. Keep to the lighter liquids and its just great.The
