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 looks like it is about 1/2 centimeter or less than a quarter of an inch. I'm not sure, but it seems like it would be fine for smoothies.

It's not smooth as a peanut butter. It would help to put it through a blender.

Depends on what you are making. I made the mistake of making a pretty thick smoothie that didn't mix too well until I added more juice. As long as you have enough liquid in it to allow the ingredients to move, the blender works very well.

I just pour it in, otherwise it wouldn't fit all the food. It's supposed to be food grade plastic, so I think its safe enough.

I put it in there. I am not sure if it needs to be. It made it thicker. Sorry I don't have more info! Maybe try out their website?!

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.

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.

I wouldn't actually recommend using a hand blender with this mug, as the glass is pretty thin. I'd recommend blending in another container if you want to buy this.

In my experience, YES! I add flax seed and frozen fruit to my greens (spinach, kale and chard) so it is a thick smoothie, but it blends it up great.

Using it for thick smoothies might create a problem because the lid is made to strain water of fruit solids. If you wanted to use it for most juices, I suspect it would work. I think, though, that you could find better juice pitchers. For fruit-infused water, these are lovely, but they would be better if they held twice as much.

I usually use a small banana, some berries, plain soy milk, and kale or spinach, along with crushed ice and water to make it as thick as you like.

It's narrower than ur regular plastic straw. I would say don't get it if u plan to use for thick smoothies. Read my review.

If it is thicker than water, you will need to take out the strainer that comes with the bottle. If the drink is like a smoothie and you can get it into the bottle, then it should be fine so long as the it isn't too thick. Worst scenario, just use a straw like you would with a smoothie!

It would depend entirely on how thick the smoothie is. If you are talking about something as thick as a milk shake, it would probably not work (the straw is too narrow).

Yes because in a blender u might have to add water to mix the food well. In this food mill it doesn't matter how thick the food is, it will be ground well!

Why of course, I usually use the ice feature button on the HealthMaster it gives it a jolt so the blades crushes everything nicely! You still want to add half -1 cup of liquid ie almond milk, coconut water, orange juice whatever you like. Enjoy your smoothies!
