Can I use this for fruit smoothies?

I use mine for smoothies all the time! The shaker ball doesn't get in the way at all, but you could always take it out. Once I make my smoothie in a blender, I just pour it in and head out!

I doubt it. Think of it as a wire whisk alternative. I use it mostly for powdered drinks, and I think that's probably your best bet.

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 sometimes use it for smoothies after I have blended them in a blender. Sometimes the smoothie tends to separate out into the thick part & runny part (if this makes any sense) The wire whisk helps to keep it mixed.

I haven't attempted to use it for smoothies. I don't think it would do a very good job at smoothies, being that it only has a two blade set. However I make my own brown rice flower for bread with it and does a great job.

No this is a very high quality juicer. You can use the juice to blend into smoothies.

Hi there! I don't know if it would work well for smoothies because the pull on the straw is a little bit tight

No Way. It doesn't even blend soft fruits properly as the blade just chops only which is in the very bottom of the blender. You have to open the lid several times to cycle the contents manually to the bottom to get it chopped. I was about to return this item and it is stuck with me because of the return shipping charge.

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

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 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.

It works very well. I have a protein yogurt frozen fruit smoothie and it mixes with no problems.

Yes, I love mine. I make fruit smoothies with mine, using fresh or frozen fruit with a little Greek yogurt. I usually let the frozen fruit thaw a bit first. Great little "blender" and I also love the grey ring around the cups that protect your fingers from the cold when drinking the smoothies. Can't go wrong with this unit, especially for the price.

I believe you can do anything in this blender. It has a lot of speeds on it. I don't see why not

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, My husband and I have smoothies for breakfast every morning - it handles fruit, yougurt, ice etc. with no problem.

i wouldn't say so; my smoothies (mostly the green ones) won't go thru well; i rarely use these straws; they are probably good for juices, but you will taste wet wood as you drink; it interferes with the taste of the drink. I use these as stirring devices :)

I don't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for that. Just make sure you don't get it to cold and freeze the fruit.

Yes you can and so much more. You cannot squeeze fruit but it will make a smoothie with no problem

I would say no, you have to add water which makes smoothies. A juice extractor makes pure juice.
