Can I put a moderately thick smoothie in here?

I wouldn't. That's really not what it was designed for. I really would stick to water for this bottle. You could put a thin liquid like juice in it, but there's so many little places that would have to be cleaned out after each use. It would be a lot of extra work.

It's just a thick syrupy flavoring so I suppose you could. I'd test it out on a small amount. Can't help thinking there are better ways to flavor a smoothie than these.

Not a chance. The mixing element is not strong enough for something so thick.

This definitely is wide enough for smoothies. That's primarily what we use them for in our house.

I use an old 2 lb deli container that I just leave in the freezer but any tail container would work. I just freeze left over smoothie so I only fill 1 or 2 at a time. If the container is full I just take out the frozen ones and fit them in somewhere else as they don't need to be upright after they are frozen.

Not really good for very thick smoothies and the dimension is not big enough. It is difficult to tell how "thick" we defined. For me, it is fine for my homemade smoothies perfectly. For example, I always do the mango mixed with 1/2 milk and 1/2 yogurt. For mango with only yogurt, this one can't work at all!

Peter, In my opinion, the diameter is not thick enough for thick smoothies.

You can mix it with water or milk. Mixing it with milk will make it thicker. But other than that no issues.

I don't usually make smoothies of that thickness but I believe it could probably could handle it. It never seems to bog down or strain with fairly thick smoothies. You may need something more powerful like a Vitamix.

I apologize for taking so long to answer, but yes. I can make smoothies and pesto from the two blender containers that came with mine.

Yes, but that would be the max and the thick side would be a little pushed up at the bottom. This should not be a problem though.

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.

I have never tried, but I think a high speed blender would do a butter job for smoothiesCarl

I would try that yes. If it didn't coat thick enough maybe I'd add a few Chia seeds ground up too. : ) made a veggie meatloaf using it and it was awesome! Tofu scrambles are super with the Veg yummy!

I mean, you certainly could, I don't know how good it would taste. Might give the smoothie a funny texture because it's so dry and powdery.

It is thick coming out so I don't think so. It makes EXCELLENT smoothies :) and great when you mix it with lemonade.

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