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

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.

probably not as it is a very small machine. the frother is about the size of a quarter and is only battery operated. it makes a very quiet whirring sound and gently but effectively whips the milk and cream into a lovely froth. I think fruit might be too tough to blend with this elegant little tool. I use a larger handheld mixer for shakes-there are several different brand such as Cuisinart. You could probably blend protein powder with water or milk, but I have not tried that with the Ozeri.

I have used a blender, a shaker, and even a milkshake blender. While the both blenders do end up with a slightly more creamy and airy end result, the shaker is plenty good. Really unless you are wanting to add ice or frozen fruit why dirty the blender AND a glass when you can just use a shaker.

Oh,sorry,I don't know. I just use it to fit Milk powder or Snacks. So,maybe you can try,but I don't make sure. At last,My English isn't well ,so...hehehe.

Yes, a smaller unit does that. But I haven't used it yet. If it's anything like the larger blender, it should be good!

No I don't think so. It's fine but it's not powder fine and probably wouldn't dissolve in the milk.

I have never had a problem with "mixing" it, although I've only done it in a blender with fruits, and not just shaken it up manually. The taste is fine. Sorry but I did not read any of the reviews you refer to. Vanilla is an option if you're concerned about liking the unflavored one.

I used it for blending soup and marinara sauce before I got an immersion blender. An immersion blender is much better for that - I can control the level of smoothness and it's less cleanup. I think the blender is best for drinks.

If you already have a blendtec or a vitamix and you only want to make almond milk, you absolutely don't need this. I only make almond milk in my vitamix. I use the Soyajoy to cook soymilk (because boiling it on the stovetop became a nightmare), but I then re-blend the soymilk in my vitamix because this thing is worthless as a blender.

I own this blender, however only have used it to crush ice and make smoothies. Sorry can't answer your question really, however it looks like perhaps you may do as you say, hold something at a different level or some action such as that.

I don't keep it mixed. I just use a hand blender to mix a cup of milk with a scoop of the powder, then drink it. If I did mix & store it, I would refrigerate it, because of the milk. If you use water, it's probably not as critical, but I can't say for sure if it's completely safe.

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.

Yes. The blender will foam the milk to quickly and not give you the control you need.

It can't. It could be a mess. Anything in powder and small granules are not recommended for this.

I use my own recipes and have never used powdered milk. I have substitued dill pickle juice for the water when making my dill bread but that is, again, from one of my own recipes.
