Is this a juicer/blender machine that will make smoothies?

Yep. It has two types of blades that plug in. One that juices (no pulp) and one that leaves some pulp in. It's primarily a juicer. If you're only making smoothies, no need to pay the premium for this machine.

It has 2 disk, 1 for juicing only and 1 for blending soft fruit , which is a smooth consistency . But this is not a blender for making smoothies. This is a powerful juicer for extracting vegetable and fruit juices.

this is a juicer, not a blender, but a 2nd disc can be used to make smoothies, but i've never made smoothies before myself. i'm a juicer. this is a VERY powerful machine you can use for a very long time.

Not really. It is all about juice extraction. It will puree, but that is more for soups and sauces. For smoothies you want the Ninja, or spend more money and get the vitamix.

No this is a very high quality juicer. You can use the juice to blend into smoothies.

Yes, the Dual Disc Juice Processor is a smoothie maker too. It has one disc for juicing, and then it has another disc and an attachment to make smoothies with. Works very well for juicing and smoothies. I have had mine for a month now. I love it!

I don't think it's easier to clean than a regular blender. Wouldn't you just want a stick blender, or do you need to crush ice? This machine is pretty good for making smoothies.

I think you might be looking for the coffee grinder that the manufacturer sell because this unit is for blending fruits and making smoothies. thanks

A blender only blends all content , witch creates pulp , but this juicer separates the fiber from the juice. So in one bin, you get the solid content and in the other you get pure smooth juice

No, but if you want to make soft food smoother (bananas, avacado) or take fibers out of food that are soft (strings on cooked beans, skins from cooked peas) it works well. You'd still need a blender or food processor.

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.

Doubt it. There are recipes included in the Instruction Manual on how to mince frozen fruit into "ice creams" or sorbets, but we have not tried this. Think you need a blender to do smoothies, as this is a low-speed juicer meant to preserve full nutritional value of fruits and veggies.

Yes. And it does have an instruction/recipe book w/at least 3 smoothie recipes.

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

Hi Diane, I wouldn't say it has the capabilities of a juicer because they are two totally different kind of machines designed to do different functions. That said I love my blender. It's very powerful and very quite compared to others. I can blend green drinks with very little chunks left over if any at all. It kind of depends how long you blend for. Usually a minute or two is sufficient for my needs. Hope this helps.

I'm not thinking so but you can always check it out at Breville.com. You should just get the entire juicer blender as I did. It meets all it is advertised to be and more. Love it!

I don't know. All I've ever done was blend & make smoothies. Maybe you can look up the brand and see if that's one of its capabilities. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer.

I want to purchase this blender for smoothies. Does it crush the ice and frozen fruit very well?
759493
No you definitely cannot. Juicers are for extracting juices from fruits and vegetables. Nothing more, nothing less. You can put crushed ice or any ice and yogurt in a blender along with certain fruits, to make a smoothie.

To answer your question yes the Fiji can make smoothies and using fresh fruit is the best. Chop up the fruit add it to the machine you can add the ice to the reservoir on the top add your choice of milk or fruit juice. Make sure the smoothie selection is set on the machine and let it whirl!!! This machine is absolutely wonderful and I have yet to have any problems with it! Good luck

No, but I had a very poor experience with the blender unit. It quit after a month of daily use.

No. it is a chopper. Go buy a personal sized blender (for smaller portions) or use a decent food processor (if you make a lot at a time). The blender made by Tribest is great, but a little pricy. I use it all of the time for smoothies, pureeing tomatoes, and baby food. I would definitely get the larger containers too
