I was wondering if you could use frozen fruit in the infuser instead of fresh fruit?

ABSOLUTELY !!!! I've done both frozen and fresh and they work great. I've used this infuser now for over a month and we LOVE IT !!!! With the size of the infuser the fruit lasts for a good week. One little tip: Be sure to shake it each time before you pour to get the maximum flavor. You're gonna love it !!!!

I don't see why not. It will thaw while in the infuser but it should infuse all the same

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

The core did not have anything to put inside other than whatever fruit you want to add. I sometimes freeze the fruit in the core and once it freezes put it in the pitcher.

Yes! We make fruit and vegetable smoothies (kale, spinach, bananas, apples, yogurt, etc) and freeze them! They turn out great!

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.

Frozen fruit???? YES!!!!!!! I've made blueberry, peach, raspberry.....when raspberries were on sale I just shoved them in the freezer container and all and then when I had an afternoon....yummmmmmmm. Also used frozen cranberries....You need to thaw fruit first...forgot to mention that. YUMMMMMMMMMMMM

Yes - Leo.. you can do that.. Not a problem at all. It is a great tea pot but the infuser is a tad fragile

I've used it with fresh banana and steamed carrot and it works ok but does not last as long as frozen.

Hi Elizabeth, if I'm only going to have a smoothie as a meal, then I normally blend in lots of frozen fruits and mix with juice. At other times, I add vegetables. It's very filling.

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.

I use it in smoothies. Frozen fruit (whatever variety you like) - a fresh banana if you have it, greek yogurt, water and then your green powder. Great way to get nutrients in the morning.

Yes, very simply pull it out of the top. My model has a soft rubber gasket which holds the infuser in place.

Yes, you can use it without the infuser. The infuser can come off-- it screws into the top.

I've never tried to great anything frozen, however it will great hard things such as nutmegs. I would imagine a frozen lemon would be no problem.

I've tried frozen strawberrys and they got stuck in the blades.....very difficult to clean.....I think the tea would work though. No recipes are included

I do more veggies than fruit also. I believe they do not recommend you store it for more than a few hours. I always try to drink mine right away in 15 - 20 minutes. Depending on the vegetables, you could cut them up and freeze them, (freeze on a cookie sheet on parchment paper and then bag up once frozen) and then every morning take out just the frozen chunks you want to use, which also makes the drink cold without using ice. It's no big deal to just make and then drink and clean up is super easy. I find this very quick and easy to use on a drink by drink basis.

Greetings! Yes! :) I've "juiced" coconuts many times. Absolutely delicious! Crack open the coconut, drain the water in a blender (I have a vitamix)....make sure the water is clear, not cloudy. Crack out pieces of coconut, put in blender with coconut water, rough chop/blend. Feed into the tribest and watch as the milk pour out. Yummy. I freeze the dry pulp in ice cube trays and use when blending smoothies....great fiber. I absolutely love my tribest. The banana and peach "ice cream" is amazing. I keep frozen fruits in the freezer to make the ice cream or sorbets. Hope this helps.

If you pureed the fruit you could(whip out the blender lol). I was out of milk and supplies to make ice cream and made a delicious italian ice with TANG and some fresh oranges put in during the "mix-in" stage. Turned out quite well. I would be concerned about using large chunks of fruit as the motor on the beater isn't over powered.For a nice hard italian ice, i suggest putting it into a container after the ice cream maker is done and freeze it harder. Then scrape from the top with a spoon and enjoy :)
