Can you use this for smoothies ?

I have never tried, but I think a high speed blender would do a butter job for smoothiesCarl

not sure, a high power blender tends to do that best. I will check with my wife and see?

Yes you can. I use it in smoothies all the time. Freeze it in ice trays then store them in the freezer and use as needed for up to 3 months or more.

I don't think so, this is for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables, you might want a mini-blender or regular blender for that.

No....I just use this as sort of a travel glass, pouring from the smoothie maker into it so I can wash the blender. It has no blade and isn't supposed to fit on the blender.

I sometimes use it for smoothies after I have blended them in a blender. Sometimes the smoothie tends to separate out into the thick part & runny part (if this makes any sense) The wire whisk helps to keep it mixed.

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! I use the immersion blender attachment for smoothies with frozen fruit. I use a lot of frozen fruit but I often steam for a few min before I use the food processor.

I don't see why not. We use ours in smoothies. I don't particularly care for the flavour of the whey - I can't taste it when I blend it with other things.

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

Yes should be able to. The straw is a two piece but straight-through straw, no leak-proof vault like regular sippy cup, so smoothie should be able to go through. (It's leak-proof by closing the lid onto the straw) Just make sure to use a straw brush to clean the straw really well afterwards to avoid mold.

You could. But why would you want to. It adds extra calories to anything you eat. So using in a smoothie is a better use than using with other foods. Yet,yes you can use with other foods

I use mine for green vegetable smoothies. I do cut up hard veggie and fruits. Start with the hard stuff, then the greens.

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

Yes you can. You have to be careful not to put anything hard or hard frozen in it. It will strip out some of the plastic parts inside the blender. Also do not over load it. It is one of the better blenders that I know of but, it can be damaged easily if you are not careful.

I'm not sure if smoothies can be made with it since I specifically bought it to juice. I would recommend purchasing a Bullet or something in that order for smoothies.

Depends on what you are making. I made the mistake of making a pretty thick smoothie that didn't mix too well until I added more juice. As long as you have enough liquid in it to allow the ingredients to move, the blender works very well.
