Anyone use these for smoothies or applesauce?

I've only used it for water. I think it would be entirely possible, but annoying/difficult to clean. The opening is about the size of a quarter and with the bottle itself being soft and pliable, getting all the food residue out might be a problem. My opinion, though.

I don't recommend using for anything other than water. Once I used it for watermelon juice and the plastic was stained a light reddish for a long time and the taste lingered even after I had washed it very well many times. My advice: use this one only for water and get a glass bottle for other drinks

Yes, I use mine everyday for smoothies and or mike shakes. My husband loves it, easy to use and clean

I've used it for water & juice only. If the smoothie is not too thick it should be fine.

No, I wouldn't use this for smoothies. The straw is narrow. Juice would be fine, but not smoothies.

I haven't tried that but I would; t think so. Why don; t you get the Oyster Blend and go cup? It's great and comes with the blades so you have extra if you need, I have two. Oster Blender Blend-N-Go Smoothie Kit

I can't believe people are saying these are big enough for shakes/smoothies. (Makes me wonder if everyone is reviewing the same product.) They are NOT big enough for thick drinks.

I haven't pureed veggies but I did put apples in there to puree and if you really blend them good it does make them smooth. When I did it, it was like applesauce.

I own the Oster Fusion blender. Marketed as a blender/food processor due to the reversing blade capability. I have had it for 2 years and it's great! Makes smooth smoothies too! I put carrots and apples cut into quarters and nuts in it on chop first then add other ingredients and ice and put it on the frozen drink setting and it works wonderfully. The jar is glass, which is nice and holds 6 cups. Can only say great things about it...

Yes! I have had mine for about a year and a half - my ice cubes still get crushed into a snowlike consistancy! We make smoothies all the time.

I've used mine just once for making applesauce and it turned out great - smooth but nice texture. If you like it chunky you're best to just chop the apples and cook the chunks. Mostly I use it on food-processored chili pods, onions & fresh herbs for making chili. Like with a food mill the more liquidy stuff comes out first and the drier & more fibrous stuff at the end. I typically stop the machine when the strained matter starts looking a bit dry.

I use it for smoothies all the time and works great. We don't have any glass/jar that it fits in. We use a large measuring cup.

I have not. They seem to be pretty sturdy. I have only used them for liquids, flour, sour cream and shortening so far and have not scooped anything up with them, i have always placed the product into the cup.

Yes, I recently bought one to replace my old one and it works fine. I use mine at least once a day for smoothies.

I really don't know but i think that you can squish them in . I use them for the glasses that come with my Ninja. I make really thick fruit smoothie's and they are awesome for them!

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 have personally used them in smoothies and as a pie filling, but I think the thing I did the most was just eat them freeze dried. They go good in cereal or as part of a trail mix... or just take a handful and eat them. very tasty.

I have. I use these extensively. They work wonderfully. Wish I had bought them years ago.
