Could you use this like a food processors? Using dates to purÃ©e? Or is it just smoothies and soup

I use dates in some of my smoothies I make with the ninja and most of the time I have a few chunks left over. I run it for 60 seconds with the tower blade attachment and then for another 60 seconds without it, and still a few chunks. I tried using it as a food processor, doesn't really work, so I got a ninja master prep for that.

it could easily blend the vegetables if they were cooked first- if not- i suggest the food processor attachment or maybe you want a juicer? The blender is a 6c capacity. Don't put that much in in all at once.

I definitely would NOT do that with a food processor. It's really best to use a mixer that explicitly says it's made to handle that (whether a hand mixer or the pricey type with an included bowl that works on its own).

I don't think I would ever use a whisk... and I use this thing for a lot of stuff. I make protein drink smoothies, even with ice, although I've heard that crushing ice may shorten the life of the blender. I make salad dressings and puree my husband's soups right in his soup mug. I've mashed potatoes with it, but I like my potatoes pretty stiff and it labored a bit with that job. It's not an all-purpose tool, it's great at what it does, but I still need a mixer. But... probably not a stand blender. I love it cuz I can zoom together my protein drink, whir it around in a mug with a little soapy water in it, run it under the faucet, and it goes back in the drawer.

I don't know. All I've ever done was blend & make smoothies. Maybe you can look up the brand and see if that's one of its capabilities. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer.

This can be used for a variety of dishes. I've used mine for soups, to mix cake batter and to blend smoothies (without ice of course).

I use it to chop nuts and make breadcrumbs. It doesn't actually do what a food processor does, though, in that it won't give you nice slices of fruits, etc. Also, I would not tend to run it dry for long periods, but maybe that is not actually a problem, and is just my conception.

I use it about every other day (to make smoothies and blend ingredients for baking) and it works really well! no problems so far. It's sturdy and has chopped rather tough items like nuts and dates with a lot of ease.

You really want a blender for creamy nut butters - you can do the initial chopping in a food processor, but a blender will give you better results. :)

It's not a power blender. It will blend fruit and soft veggies. It is perfect for making protein shakes and smoothies and it is really easy to clean.

Yes! We make fruit and vegetable smoothies (kale, spinach, bananas, apples, yogurt, etc) and freeze them! They turn out great!

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

It is not a blender or mixer in the same respect as the kitchen appliances. This mixer is only for liquids. You can scramble raw eggs in it, protein drinks, lemonaid etc. Lighter liquids; for instance you cant make an Ice cream shake in it; the ice cream is too thick, or you cant put in fresh fruit and expect it to blend or chop it up. Keep to the lighter liquids and its just great.The

Probably not. It is not the intended use.The blender is for soft fruits and veggies.

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 the beets are pre cooked, it should do fine. I use for smoothies but not for major food processing. Had over a year now, and the motor is smelling a bit, but still works good. I have a separate blender for processing.

Hi Ken. I've never used it for anything but smoothies so I can't help you there. Perhaps Sun Warrior's web site will have some helpful hints.
