Anyone use these for smoothies or applesauce?

I've only used it for water. I think it would be entirely possible, but annoying/difficult to clean. The opening is about the size of a quarter and with the bottle itself being soft and pliable, getting all the food residue out might be a problem. My opinion, though.

I don't recommend using for anything other than water. Once I used it for watermelon juice and the plastic was stained a light reddish for a long time and the taste lingered even after I had washed it very well many times. My advice: use this one only for water and get a glass bottle for other drinks

Hi- I own these and I would say you certainly could peel and apple with these although that certainly would not be the best knife to use for fruit.

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

I have used the stick blender to make smoothies with frozen fruit on many occasions. I find that it helps to move the blender up and down so that it doesn't jam up, and use plenty of liquid- even if adding it as you go. As long as the blades are able to turn freely, it seems to work fine.

I haven't tried that but I would; t think so. Why don; t you get the Oyster Blend and go cup? It's great and comes with the blades so you have extra if you need, I have two. Oster Blender Blend-N-Go Smoothie Kit

I have an Oster Programmable blender. I purchased the blade that you mentioned and yes it does a wonderful job blending. My husband and I have a fruit shake every morning, I sometimes forget to remove my frozen berries from the freezer the night before (I don't like my shakes Ice cold). No problem with these blades they cut through anything! (Not sure about the model on my blender I shows L00-Y051-T2).

I have not, only cold liquids for my smoothies. I'd recommend against it as the heated liquid may cause the seal in the blade assembly to fail over time. I have had my Oster for about 9 months and love it, but the seals sometimes fail on the blade assembly (I got a second one from the manufacturer) and they will leak a small amount of liquid through. I suspect using hot liquids will cause this even sooner.

I gave them to my son as a gift. He hasn't commented to me how they work with any drinks, but I don't see why they wouldn't work equally well with sodas or sports drinks.

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

No I haven't, but I only use mine for staples like sugar, nuts, etc..Have had mine for about 7 months or so and love them!

I've never considered using it for that; I think I'd rather mash them with a fork or put them into a blender. A food mill is more suited to squeezing pulp and juices out of fruits and vegetables (such as cooked apples or tomatoes) while retaining the peel and seeds.

Yes! I drink my super thick smoothies through these straws with no problem at all. I love them!!!

I use mine for smoothies all the time! The shaker ball doesn't get in the way at all, but you could always take it out. Once I make my smoothie in a blender, I just pour it in and head out!

I didn't like mine, I try to make applesauce and that was a bust. I don't think it would work. I alway used a blender to make mine baby food.

I use them for what I consider to be "thick" smoothies...I wouldn't use them for bubble teas or something like that, because the diameter is the same as a normal straw. I make smoothies using smoothies, fruit (some frozen) and very little liquid and the straws work great for those.
