Is the hole in the lid large enough to drink a thick smoothie out of? I use a tervis with a sliding lid.

It would depend on how thick the smoothie is, but in most cases it would be big enough in my opinion. :)

The hole is triangular and about finger-sized (1/2 inch wide and 1/4 inch high or so). I would think you could drink a thick smoothie out of it, but not sure. There's a pin-sized hole on the opposite side to allow airflow.

Not sure. The hole is pretty small. Not quite as big as a dime. You could put a straw in it though.

Absolutely! I've been drinking green smoothies for 4 or 5 years now and using this same blender. I had one this morning with frozen spinach and frozen blueberries and oatmeal in it, among other things. I use smoothie straws, but I've used regular straws, too. I prefer the clear thicker ones if I can't get the smoothie straws. I can't speak for others, but this has been a great blender for me. I've been using it since 2009, I believe. A GE one blew up on me after one day of use. Make sure you put enough liquid in if you use this one. It labors if there isn't enough which took me a few days to figure out. I use about 1.5 cups of pure liquid (combo of water and almond milk) and that usually does the trick.

I think you could put a thin smoothie in but only if you had a good straw brush to clean it with after. Personally, I wouldn't put a smoothie in it but it could be a good idea.

Absolutely not. Just because a blender has a hole for adding ingredients through the lid does not mean its cut to the exact specifications as the Vitamix container this tamper was designed for. Even between my containers the hole is a different size to prevent inserting the wrong tamper into the container. If your blender didn't come with a tamper, best to push ingredients down the old fashioned way . . .remove the lid and push down with a rubber spatula.

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

It's me again i wanted to say if you are talking about mason jars that come with a hole in the top for a straw NO these thicker smoothie straws are to big you need to buy the thinner ones I have both sorry

The lids that came with mine have one small hole for air and a larger hole for drinking. Hole doesn't close. The drinking hole is about the size of a penny cut in half.

If the smoothie is on the thin side it might but a thick smoothie,no way. Picture sipping thru an almost flat straw. I have major water leaking issues with this cup, definitely when it is dropped but even when I turn them upside down. Try the wow cups for leaking only when dropped.

Tervis has specific straw cups. This is not a straw cup. That being said I wouldn't say it's a sippy. Tervis has a sippy for children but that doesn't seem like what you are seeking. This is a sport bottle. It has an opening to drink from the size of a dime or nickel. The opening seals securely. Sounds like a cool gift.

The gasket/lid would not leak. The small 'snap in place' cover over the drinking 'hole' could leak. It could possibly pop open and leak a lot. I have two of these and love them- freeze and use them every day. If you plan on holding it upside down over your laptop you might want to consider another.

Don't know the diameter, but I drink thick fruit smoothies with no problem.

I believe you could drink a smoothie through the spout. And if it clogs up at all you always have the option of taking the lid completely off to get to the last drop!

Yes, but I took it out. I think why is because when opening the lid it keep falling out. I've had it for awhile and still using it.

yes, but not the wide mouth size. Standard size fits perfectly. I use one each morning to make my smoothie, put the lid on and take it to work

I do not know. I never liked the hard plastic straws made for Tervis glasses. For the American Tumbler I use smoothie straws I buy at Publix. They are bigger in circumference. The hard plastic straws are hard to clean.

Actually never thought about doing it. However, they are so small you probably can't find a lid small enough. Perhaps, if you take Glad Press 'N Seal (NOT regular Glad Plastic Wrap) and seal it very tightly so the top is tight as a drum, then you may be able to take a small knife point and make a small hole near the edge for drinking. If you don't want the hole for drinking, then the glass tightly sealed with Glad Press 'N Seal might keep it spill proof, say in a cup holder until you reach your destination. Hope this helps.

I have a 16 oz Tervis tumbler also. It will not fit under the coffee outlet, even with bottom removed, in a normal fashion. It likes about 1/4" sitting perfectly upright like a cup would. However, I can and do put my Tervis there and put coffee in it.
