Would these work for smoothies?

I'm sure you could use them for that purpose but fresh or frozen fruit would work better for consistency. They do taste good.

I think the strawberries and bananas and the mangos would be great. I'm not sure the apples would work since the skin is still on them. I'll have to try that. Honestly, they never last long enough to go into a smoothie!

I Think they would if you soaked them first. I used them as snacks just as they are. They were tasty and crunchy.

They're quite thin. Unless you have the likes of a vitamix, blendtec, or even the Ninja Ultima (mine) most blenders are going to produce too thick of a shake for these straws to work well. My advice? Don't waste your money. Go with a regular plastic wide straw or none at all. These are notorious for cracking up against your teeth when using. Go with another option.

Not sure. I used them for powdered candy. I would say no though. It leaked from them .

Works on frozen fruit in smoothies, but I wouldn't recommend it for crushing ice cubes. That's a job best left to a conventional blender. These blades really weren't meant for ice cubes nor would they go through the blade brackets.

Sure. Haven't tried, but they would. The cubes would be pretty large - 1 per glass would be sufficient.

Yes. But know they are made of plastic, and will stain. However the mesh really isn't fine enough for fresh juices. I'm using it to keep flies out of my kraut fermenting as it catches almost no fiber after going through my vitamix

I don't know. I use them for yogurt pops and smoothy pops. I think the top of the frozen pop would be a bit big in diameter to use in a water bottle.

No. I found out the hard way. They're too wide to fit down into the blender base. I haven't been able to find compatible ones.

Hi Ken. I've never used it for anything but smoothies so I can't help you there. Perhaps Sun Warrior's web site will have some helpful hints.

I really don't know but i think that you can squish them in . I use them for the glasses that come with my Ninja. I make really thick fruit smoothie's and they are awesome for them!

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).

I haven't tried to do this in my blender. I don't know if you could make the grains smooth enough for what you intend on using them for. You might have to get a different attachment. You should check with Blendtec.

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

I gave them to my son as a gift. He hasn't commented to me how they work with any drinks, but I don't see why they wouldn't work equally well with sodas or sports drinks.

I don't know if they would fit those specific cups, but they fit every cup I've put them into. I use them for smoothies everyday & they're pretty thick (the smoothies). They work great! Easy to clean too :)

Probably not wide enough for a thick smoothie. I still use the lids and straw cleaners but the straws themselves are actually sharp and I cut my self on the edge.

Yes, I recently bought one to replace my old one and it works fine. I use mine at least once a day for smoothies.
