Does it blend frozen fruit, kale, some ice for a smoothie?

The blade is much smaller and thinner than my vita mix which I use toake smoothie and power drinks a great investment I just use the emulsion blender for soups salad dressings

I wish I had gotten this in place of my other blender, but yes, it makes smoothies. Make sure the container you use is the tall slender one and move the wand slowly up and down in the blender. It should look like baby food. Kale will need to be torn into small pieces without stems. Good luck!

Yes, it does. You don't have to put alcohol in the drink. I've used it with fresh berries, yogurt, and juice to make smoothies. I think it gives a better texture than with my old blender because there are never random chunks of ice in the bottom. You do not have to always use ice either--you can manually blend without shaving the ice and vice versa.

I've never crushed ice but I've blended smoothies using frozen fruit and it's done just fine

sorry have not tried it with ice. However it blends everything else well. simple and compact, love it on the go.

Haven't tried it in the blender but do make smoothies with pumpkin seeds, chia, hemp seeds, nuts and frozen cranberries and frozen blueberries. I do have a Cuisinart food processors that I make butters in.

Yes this can blend kale, you do have to let it run quite some time, but it does,

No, and never try to make such smoothie where other cheaper machines can do the job. Smoothies are blocks of ice crushed with fruits in a high power (750 watts or higher) blender.

Yes indeed, it's fine with frozen fruits. The mincing nozzle gives a thicker texture, like ice cream. The juicer nozzle makes snow, which is neat. It's not like crushed or shaved ice, it's actually the texture of snow. Make your own snow-cones or sorbet.

It works very well. I have a protein yogurt frozen fruit smoothie and it mixes with no problems.

I have not tried Kale, however, the blended does blend broccoli and spinach/lettuce.

I have my doubts it would have enough power to mix anything with ice involved.I ended up donated my blender to a charity. Not of any use for making protein smoothies with frozen berries either!

In order to make a smoothie you need ice and this won't work. You can however juice the items you want in the smoothie first, then put all in a blender with the ice and blend it up. That's how I do it. Have fun!

Depends in the contents. Most fruit smoothies come out good. Leafy add ins don't get fully blended. For some reason frozen blueberries don't turn out so well either.

It depends on how frozen they are. We are smoothie drinkers here, but if the ratio of frozen fruit to juice & unfrozen is 25% or so you should be fine. If you make it without frozen at all you're golden.

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.

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

Depends on what you are making. I made the mistake of making a pretty thick smoothie that didn't mix too well until I added more juice. As long as you have enough liquid in it to allow the ingredients to move, the blender works very well.
