Can I use this to mix non-instant dry milk powder (lumps up), or a blender...?

I have not tried non-instant milk powder. Sounds like it has the butter fat still in it. I would think warm water would help it mix better (not hot) and a small amt (1/4 tsp) of Safflower Oil (NOT SUNflower oil) would help. Then it would probably mix just fine and leave enough room for the shaking action.

I can tell you that I use it every day for a protein shake/Visalus/Beachbody and it works great. That powder texture and consistency is the same. So, I'd say SHAKE WELL.

I have never tried it. I make mine with ice and water to make it an actual shake. It only takes a minute each morning to make. I keep my blender on the countertop. You can try making it the night before and see how it works.

When I tried making milk shakes, it did not slice through the ice cream well enough to mix it in...which is why I said a standard blender does a better job. It's unfortunate, since this is much easier to clean.

Yes. The blender will foam the milk to quickly and not give you the control you need.

Oh gosh no. It's literally a small motor with a plastic mixer that spins. It's good only to mix powder in liquid.

I don't see why you couldn't. I have used skim, 2% and whole milk and all have come out great.

You can, but it'd be easier pre-mixed. Theres just not a lot of room if you have it full for shaking/mixing. Seems like the powder gets stuck up in the nipple once you go to shake, so I would mix with a knife before putting nipple on and then shaking.

I don't see why not. I used it to make pumpkin pie with fresh pumkin that I cooked. I mixed it with sweetened condensed milk and it came out so creamy.

I would advise you to try a different blender. Perhaps I don't "stack" the blender correctly, but even moderately thick smoothies/shakes get hung up and I end up smacking the side in order to get it to mix. I prefer mine relatively thin (think drinkable yogurt consistency) so it works fine for me; I just don't think it'll handle something that thick. If you're able, check out a VitaMix - those suckers would blend a leather boot into drinkable form.

Sure,just don't be heavy handed with it otherwise you could end up a cakey mess.Let it dry COMPLETELY before you add powder.

Yes, definitely! I use the Ghirardelli coco mix. First I put the powder in the cup/ glass and add just enough milk to wet the powder, otherwise the powder will fly all over the place, and stir it together. Then put your blender stick into the glass, all the way to the bottom. On low start mixing, as it begins to mix you can raise the blades to ensure all is mixed. Use a tall glass and I put the glass in the sink, because ther is some splashing. Practice different techniques, it will work. Enjoy�

No I don't think so. It's fine but it's not powder fine and probably wouldn't dissolve in the milk.

Well, if you're looking for something that will equal an electric mixer or one of those battery-operated milk frothers, this won't be good for that. I still have mine and I love it. I use it at least once or twice a week to scramble eggs or mix up canned tomato soup, stuff like that...anything that requires mixing via a whisk. There's no real technique other than not being heavy-handed -if this is shoved up and down too hard it's going to break or cause a lot of fatigue. I've found it's good for small pans or mixing in a smaller mixing/cereal bowl without a lot of splashing around. Hope that helps.

No. It's a blender. I use it to mixcake mixes, make smoothies, blend gravy, soups, etc.I also use it to make fruit and vegetable purees.

If you already have a blendtec or a vitamix and you only want to make almond milk, you absolutely don't need this. I only make almond milk in my vitamix. I use the Soyajoy to cook soymilk (because boiling it on the stovetop became a nightmare), but I then re-blend the soymilk in my vitamix because this thing is worthless as a blender.

I have not tried that yet. I have been using it for green smoothies, which it does fairly well. A few small chunks here and there

I'm afraid not. In fact, far from it. This, in no way, simulates powdered milk. Have you ever had NOT a "milk shake," but a chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla malt? This is the "malt" that is added to any flavor milk shake to give it that extra rich flavor.
