how many ice cubes can I use for for my smoothies?

I use mixed flash frozen berries which gives me the same nutrients without having to worry about fruit either spoiling or running out. I mix with Silk Almond milk for further nutrients & a smoother smoothie. Both give me the coldness and eliminate the need for ice so my smoothies are more nutritious and taste less watered down. Also if you don't use filtered water for your ice cubes, you can get a bleachy taste and chemicals from treated water. If you still wish to use ice cubes, there is no set number, it all depends on keeping your ingredients below the MAX line, which is another argument against their use as they take up so much space.

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!

Sure, you can make any kind of a smoothie! :-) My Mom makes green ones all of the time with hers. It is super convenient to drink right out of the container you blend it in too.

Best way I can answer is: 1 Cube is enough for a cup (8 Oz), even though some might like it stronger and use more than one cube. Hope it helps.

I use 3 tsp in the morning with around 24 oz water and juice of 1 lemon. The smoothies will cover the taste better than the lemon water but have way more calories.

Yes! I use the immersion blender attachment for smoothies with frozen fruit. I use a lot of frozen fruit but I often steam for a few min before I use the food processor.

I use full ice cubes when blending smoothies with the Ninja, and I use the system at least 5 times a day (we are bodybuilders and make shakes frequently). It literally demolishes the ice cubes in seconds. I can't give Ninja a higher recommendation---love it.

Hi Elizabeth, if I'm only going to have a smoothie as a meal, then I normally blend in lots of frozen fruits and mix with juice. At other times, I add vegetables. It's very filling.

For making smoothies, I usually include some yogurt, frozen or fresh fruit and sometimes a little protein powder. If you use frozen fruit, you need to put it in first, a little at a time, to make sure that it is a chopped up. Then add the other ingredients. Then push the "frozen drink" button and your done when it stops.

Why of course, I usually use the ice feature button on the HealthMaster it gives it a jolt so the blades crushes everything nicely! You still want to add half -1 cup of liquid ie almond milk, coconut water, orange juice whatever you like. Enjoy your smoothies!

I make green smoothies with fresh spinach, fruits and 16 oz of water. I add ice cubes as desired. It is delicious and healthy! I would not add ice cream because that would defeat your purpose of being healthy.

I use a different bowl than the one that came with it so that I could make more at a time. I use an ice tray - 16 cubes - per load. For the bowl that came with it you would need to use maybe 8-10.

You may need to use a straw with a wider opening for smoothies because the straw that comes with the tumbler is rather narrow. The opening will accommodate a thicker straw, but you'd have to buy it separately.

Works on frozen fruit in smoothies, but I wouldn't recommend it for crushing ice cubes. That's a job best left to a conventional blender. These blades really weren't meant for ice cubes nor would they go through the blade brackets.

The ice hopper is not large. You can get two cones per ice batch. It does take regular ice cubes so you don't need to have blocks of ice available. Having an ice bucket is a good idea. The company makes larger models. The ice hopper limitation has never been a problem for us. We use it at home for the kids and their friends.

There are sixty in a bottle. They say to use two a day - but I only use one because I often use fresh Tumeric in my smoothies! Tumeric is best absorbed with Black pepper. This is a perfect blend. I swear by it!

Only one. So if you are planning to host any sexy alcohol parties, make a bunch of ice cubes beforehand or buy a bunch and clear some space in your freezer
