Do you add ice to the bottom or top of the smoothie

This blender is powerful and has an excellent vortex which draws items to the blades. Either way will work and the access in the cover will allow you to add items during the blend process

Added ice to bottom to test blades. They did a great job of crushing them evenly. I later added ice to the top of other smoothies. Worked great in this order as well. This blender is very powerful so crushing ice is child's play for it.

the instructions say you can put ice in the top bin, just lift the lid. or there is a put-out-shoot on the right side for water and ice. but since i haven't used ice or water yet i don't know for sure.

I have found that the system works when my decanter or processor has its handle facing the front of the base and is secured. When I did that, everything worked. The smoothie I was attempting to make got clogged in the blender but mixed, excellently with the processor!

Why of course, I usually use the ice feature button on the HealthMaster it gives it a jolt so the blades crushes everything nicely! You still want to add half -1 cup of liquid ie almond milk, coconut water, orange juice whatever you like. Enjoy your smoothies!

It makes the ice crush to such a great consistency and adds it into the mix at stages as to not get it overly watery.You have the option of adding more crushed ice at the end as well. However, you do need to have great storage in your home to use. I can not use on all of my counters as some areas the cabinets sit too low - so it does limit the space you can use it vs. a regular blender. Another benefit for me is I am able to take it with me in the carrying case( additional cost) on vacation and leave my other blender at home.

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.

You can put in glass with a lid and just shake it . But my prefrence is add ice with product and maybe a banna or yougart just what ever you want to add and put in a blender or bullet and its more like a milkshake . I really really like the product it never leaves a bad taste in mouth like a lot of diet products you will really b pleased with the product.

I've found it to be very good at this task. I've left my smoothie on the counter for an hour or toe, when I came back, it's still fully incorporated. Hope you like your blender.

I have been using this for years and not had the problem. I put the milk in my blender and then the Spirutein. Run it till smooth and then add the ice. Works every time.

I have only used the ice with my protein drinks and water. I also use shaved ice to place in my mouth when I am exercising. It also helps with cooling down and dry mouth. Remember, you are getting shaved ice.

You can make smoothies with frozen fruits. However, I do not recommend putting frozen fruits in this juicer - or any juicer, for that matter. If I want to add frozen fruits to my juices, I will juice the fresh produce and then, using a strong blender, blend in frozen fruits.

I do all of the time. I just add less ice and more water then pour it into a glass with more ice. It's really good.

You may need to use a straw with a wider opening for smoothies because the straw that comes with the tumbler is rather narrow. The opening will accommodate a thicker straw, but you'd have to buy it separately.

yes, this is EXACTLY what I do with it. I also add ice, and use the ice crusher blade.

Nope I bought the steel ice tube to put inside. That keeps the drink cool at the bottom. I already had plastic ice cubes to keep the drink cold at the top and not water it down. Works very well that way.

The top ice chamber to place the ice cubes before they are shaved. This machine works much better than any blender, no big chunks at all. If you want a good drink blender, this one works great.

Just crush the ice and add whatever liquid you like. We put the ice in a cup and add a bit of juice.
