I make my smoothies with frozen fruit instead of ice. Can you use this with frozen fruit or will it burn out?

My wife used it with fresh fruit n didn't work, we returned it. We don't recommend it :(

Definitely works...i do that all the time. I cut up my fruits first into smaller pieces and freeze them though, just to make it more manageable

We use a lot of frozen fruit as well which blends up just fine with no issues. Been using it everyday for 2 months with frozen fruit and have had no issues or burn smells when using frozen fruit or ice! =)

Haven't tried it but I want to do the same. I feel like the motor is plenty powerful but they don't recommend running continuously for more than a minute.

I use mixed flash frozen berries which gives me the same nutrients without having to worry about fruit either spoiling or running out. I mix with Silk Almond milk for further nutrients & a smoother smoothie. Both give me the coldness and eliminate the need for ice so my smoothies are more nutritious and taste less watered down. Also if you don't use filtered water for your ice cubes, you can get a bleachy taste and chemicals from treated water. If you still wish to use ice cubes, there is no set number, it all depends on keeping your ingredients below the MAX line, which is another argument against their use as they take up so much space.

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.

Most definitely. The only time we have had trouble with it is when my husband puts in first too much frozen fruit to make a smoothly without adding enough liquid. I am very happy with this product. We had one before that lasted five years making smoothies or something on a daily basis.

yes you can if it doesn't have sugar already in it. I made my first batch last night using frozen strawberries and it turned out GREAT. make sure they're completely thawed out before using.

It will run through the frozen drink cycle and then stop. The whole blender doesn't power off when the cycle is through.

Yes, you can. But my experience has been it's not as good UNLESS you reblend with some more ice. I add frozen veggies and frozen fruits right before I blend it so that it is icy cold, tastes better, and more filling. At room temp or even a refrigerator temp I do not find it appetizing.

Yes, I froze it all the time, in small servings. It does mess with the consistency a bit; I was blending it in smoothies and it wasn't a problem.

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.

Depends on how often you make them. Even the best blenders will burn out if used too much. Best case scenario is if it's for daily use, don't purchase this.

I have not used frozen fruit, my opinion would be you would need to leave the fruit in longer for it to infuse in the water. For example I use fresh fruit and infuse overnight, if I were to use frozen fruit I would leave it in the fridge for double the time. This is strictly my opinion, I have not used frozen fruits

Probably boiling it for about 10-15 minutes should work for smoothies. Good luck.

Not a good idea...when you make the smoothie, after a period of time there will be a separation of the heavy/light ingredients.you can probably remix with a very short mix again

According to the Booklet this isn't able to do "soft fruits". As in banana, avacados, mangos. It probably can, but it probably will clog it up. Smoothies are more blenders.

Yes, does an amazing job! I've used on frozen strawberries, peaches, etc. Just need to move blender in and up-and-down movement so you start blending top layer of fruit ... don't push down hard into all the frozen fruit at the bottom initially.

you can use fruit that has been frozen I would thaw and allow to warm up though,I did not like cooker and sent back

I have not, only cold liquids for my smoothies. I'd recommend against it as the heated liquid may cause the seal in the blade assembly to fail over time. I have had my Oster for about 9 months and love it, but the seals sometimes fail on the blade assembly (I got a second one from the manufacturer) and they will leak a small amount of liquid through. I suspect using hot liquids will cause this even sooner.
