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.

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

as per your recommendation, I tried the mason jar.YES, it fits. Make jam in it's own container!? why not!Also, it comes with a handy to- go flip top container, good for a single size smoothie...

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.

No. This is a two part straw where both parts are removable. Though we have only used this cup for milk and water, I don't think it would be great for smoothies. The straw is pretty skinny so I have to believe it would be hard to suck something thick from.

The straw is about the size of a normal soda straw, not like a wider milkshake straw. You'd have a hard time getting a very thick smoothie up through.

It was a gift for my granddaughter so she could make smoothies at college. I think if you can put fruit in you probably could put veggies in too but I have never used it myself.

If the smoothie was well blended then yes. I drink most smoothies out of a straw and the mouth opening is bigger than a straw, so yes if there aren't any chunks of ice or fruit to clog it.

Yes. I use mine for smoothies a lot...even for milk shake consistency. The straw is wide enough and, if needed, you can remove the straw and shake up the smoothie to redistribute the ingredients (in the event that you didn't drink it right away).

Probably not. It is not the intended use. The blender is for soft fruits and veggies.

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

Yes you can. You have to be careful not to put anything hard or hard frozen in it. It will strip out some of the plastic parts inside the blender. Also do not over load it. It is one of the better blenders that I know of but, it can be damaged easily if you are not careful.

Yes should be able to. The straw is a two piece but straight-through straw, no leak-proof vault like regular sippy cup, so smoothie should be able to go through. (It's leak-proof by closing the lid onto the straw) Just make sure to use a straw brush to clean the straw really well afterwards to avoid mold.

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

No, it won't be that smooth. You can make purees but it will be somewhat thick/slightly chunky.

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.
