would this be a good thermos for smoothies?

It does have a very wide mouth. I haven't put anything cold in it yet, but it keeps thing hot for a very long time. So i'm sure smoothies would stay in this also.

A MILLION % that is exactly what I put on mine. I not only take it to the gym, but to work as well..i use a liquid meal replacement that I drink all day long. keeps things nice & cold as well.

Hi There, yes I think it would be, since keeping them hot wouldn't be an issue and the latex insulator would probably not be affected!

I have only used it for hot items and it is wonderful. I will be trying cold items this summer.

Yes, I would recommend this for smoothies! I could not believe after 3 days I still had ice water in this thermos. To make the smoothies stay thicker longer, you may just want to put some ice in the thermos for 10-15 minutes to get it cold then remove the ice and put the smoothie in, should stay firm pretty long. These thermos' are great, best I've ever used and highly recommended for hot OR cold ;&gt;) Enjoy your COLD smoothies ;&gt;)

I would yes it would. We usually don't give our girls their smoothies with lids on because we have had trouble in the past.

My instant answer is no ... The plastic is not heavy duty. The cups are fragile in the tabs that engage the blender. I can only imagine that the cold temperatures will accentuate that.

I use it to transport my smoothies from home to work and by the time I open the container for lunch, the smoothie is still frozen hard. So I can imagine that milk will stay cold for lunchtime.

Yes, I love mine. I make fruit smoothies with mine, using fresh or frozen fruit with a little Greek yogurt. I usually let the frozen fruit thaw a bit first. Great little "blender" and I also love the grey ring around the cups that protect your fingers from the cold when drinking the smoothies. Can't go wrong with this unit, especially for the price.

Absolutely! I've been drinking green smoothies for 4 or 5 years now and using this same blender. I had one this morning with frozen spinach and frozen blueberries and oatmeal in it, among other things. I use smoothie straws, but I've used regular straws, too. I prefer the clear thicker ones if I can't get the smoothie straws. I can't speak for others, but this has been a great blender for me. I've been using it since 2009, I believe. A GE one blew up on me after one day of use. Make sure you put enough liquid in if you use this one. It labors if there isn't enough which took me a few days to figure out. I use about 1.5 cups of pure liquid (combo of water and almond milk) and that usually does the trick.

not too long and is not spill proof, but is very tough and looks durable, i you want something that will keep it really hot for long time try the Thermos vacum insulated, i had one and is awesome but is more delicate than this.

If the smoothie is on the thin side it might but a thick smoothie,no way. Picture sipping thru an almost flat straw. I have major water leaking issues with this cup, definitely when it is dropped but even when I turn them upside down. Try the wow cups for leaking only when dropped.

I wouldn't. In my opinion, this is just for cold liquids. It closes well but the top is just plastic. I would just invest in a double-walled container made for hot liquids.

I only use mine for water, I think it would be fine for cold drinks of any kind, I don't think I would put any hot drinks in it.

Yes, it can. It doesn't keep things warm as long as it keeps them cold though. I'm pretty sure that's normal for thermos type stuff though.

I have the Aquaovo version of this tumbler and I found that as long as you don't fill it to the top where the inner and outer glass are fused, it doesn't get too hot. It's still warmer to the touch than a stainless steel thermos but it's not uncomfortable. Just don't fill above the filter level.

Oh, yes! that is precisely why I purchased them. The smoother the Smoothie the better the delivery of the Smoothie through the straw to your delight. Essentially, it works just as well as any straw as when drinking a Milk-shake. I also bought a Straw Cleaning Brush for easy cleaning of the stainless steel straw. To avoid using the brush, I will immediately rinse the straw running hot soapy water down it then rinsing with, as hot of water as I can stand. If you let the straw sit allowing the smoothing ingredients to harden inside the straw then the brush is essential to proper cleaning. The stainless steel does conduct the chill of the smoothie. If using ice in your smoothie the straw can get very, very cold to the touch, almost uncomfortable on the lips. I would NOT use a stainless steel straw on Hot Chocolate or coffee as I surmise they would conduct the heat just as easily as the cold, resulting in burning your lips.

I have used it for either Hot Tea or Coffee, unfortunately someone dropped mine and it broke :( I really enjoyed it while I had it, but it's kind of like an adult sippy-cup.

I think you could put a thin smoothie in but only if you had a good straw brush to clean it with after. Personally, I wouldn't put a smoothie in it but it could be a good idea.

I used it mainly for blending ice for smoothies, and it was great. I used it daily though and wore it out in a year. now I have a vitamix and love it.

As long as the liquid is cold or room temperature, sure. I wouldn't put warm tea in the bottle. I also have a different Addison model than pictured. My bottle doesn't have a straw so I probably wouldn't use it for smoothies since they would be too thick.
