Does it make smoothies

Hi Danny. I don't think so - for smoothies you need a blender or a nutribullet. This thing just makes delicious fruit and vegetable juices.

If it is in good working condition, it will make a smoothie. However, MY unit was defective. It made a horrible noise, shaked and acted like it was going to explode. I did get mymoney back so they were good about that. I had an Acme juicer for years and years, it's an older juicer, but it was stainless steel, and worked so well. I was sorry I gave it away when I got the Big Boss. I still have not gotten another juicer so now I am without. I WOULD NOT recommend this terrible juicer. There has to be something else out there that is good. Maybe the Breville juicer. Sorry, them's the truth. If it is in good working condition, it will make a smoothie. However, MY unit was defective.

It is a regular blender and I make smoothies with it. I have to say that the power isn't there. I had an OLD blender (30 years old). This does not compare to it at all. I would not buy this again. I guess you get what you pay for.

I've never tried to make a smoothie with it. I have a stick blender for that. The food processor has a large S blade. My stick blender has a small S blade. I would rather use a stick blender or a regular blender to make a smoothie.

No, but if you want to make soft food smoother (bananas, avacado) or take fibers out of food that are soft (strings on cooked beans, skins from cooked peas) it works well. You'd still need a blender or food processor.

Only if you are making the smoothies in a blender first..but you can easily use this to drink smoothies! (just not to make them)

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 it does. I mix it with juice all the time, I also freeze it in an ice cube tray and use them in smoothies.

I wish I had gotten this in place of my other blender, but yes, it makes smoothies. Make sure the container you use is the tall slender one and move the wand slowly up and down in the blender. It should look like baby food. Kale will need to be torn into small pieces without stems. Good luck!

No. It's a blender. I use it to mixcake mixes, make smoothies, blend gravy, soups, etc.I also use it to make fruit and vegetable purees.

this is a juicer, not a blender, but a 2nd disc can be used to make smoothies, but i've never made smoothies before myself. i'm a juicer. this is a VERY powerful machine you can use for a very long time.

Yes it does blend them to smoothie consistency. In fact yesterday I put in a block of frozen raspberries with coconut milk and it made a delicious smoothy. I even chopped link sausage in it yesterday.

It's borderline for smoothies. It really chokes on big chunks of frozen fruit. There is a slightly bigger unit that is actually designed to make smoothies. I'd opt for that one if I were you. I will probably buy one of those.

I have only used it to make smoothies but my experience has been that it stays a smoothie until I am finished drinking it. Even when I have left some in the fridge overnight I did not have any separation.

Yes you can put it in your smoothie, but not sure about making a smoothie with it..
