Does this work with frozen fruit for making smoothies

Yes it works very well with frozen fruit I make at least 3-4 frozen fruit smoothies a week.. Love this machine!

It did not come with any type of juicer attachment. I use organic frozen fruit for yogurt smoothies. And again, I have not used the food processor attachment.

It is not insulated and is not powerful enough to make smoothes with frozen fruit

Yes! This blender's blade-gasket-cap can be unscrewed and used with a REGULAR mouth mason jar for smoothies, etc. If you're using frozen fruit or ice the motor burns out after 6 months or so of daily use, even with pulsing. Try a higher powered blender... I'm looking for one now that fits mason jars as well. :)

Yes it makes smoothies great, my only input though is based on non frozen fruits. I buy all my fruit fresh, so haven't used frozen. For fresh fruit though it works great. I normally use: Banana, Blueberrys, Almonds, Walnuts, Yoghurt and Soy Milk.

Yes it will do frozen fruits, use the mincing nozzle. For slush, crushing ice, use the blank screen and no nozzle.

I don't think the attachment is strong enough to break up frozen fruit. I have gone through two attachments in a short amount of time trying to do this when I make my smoothie.

I have used mine for making rawfood mornig shakes that include frozen fruit and seeds -- sometimes kale. It works very well. The Vitamix I have is the only one I've tried, but it is a great product, and I assume the less expensive ones would work as well. When you look at less expensive models, read the product description carefully. I would think they should describe the capabilities of the machine.

Yes indeed, it's fine with frozen fruits. The mincing nozzle gives a thicker texture, like ice cream. The juicer nozzle makes snow, which is neat. It's not like crushed or shaved ice, it's actually the texture of snow. Make your own snow-cones or sorbet.

I would say yes, although I have not tried that but it will do shaved ice, so it makes sense to me that you could do that. It pulverizes frozen fruits for smoothies, so again, I would think that the system is quite efficient.

I think it might work with a thin smoothie,but can't guarantee that. I only use it for ice water.

Yes! I use it everyday to blend green veggies, fruits, everything. It even does a AMAZING job on ice. Turns it into snow like consistency. This little machine has SO much power and provides a pretty smooth consistency to your juices. I used to have a Nutribullet and it sucked - after a couple months, the Nutribullet just seemed to get weaker and everything was chunky :/

Never tried it on frozen food. I use the hand blender to mix cake batter and blend beans on the stove.

I don't think it juices but it turns frozen fruit into smoothies with ease.

Honestly I did not check. I love this blender. I use it 2x a day. My blender has frozen fruit and ice. I love it.

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.

It depends on how frozen they are. We are smoothie drinkers here, but if the ratio of frozen fruit to juice & unfrozen is 25% or so you should be fine. If you make it without frozen at all you're golden.
