Question: I try to make a smoothie with ice and the liquid stays at the bottom and the ice rises to the top!?
how do I make the ice and liquid blend together!? a bit of liquid gets blended with the ice but for the most part the ice rises to the top while the liquid stays at the bottom just bought a Osterizer blender!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
you don't need ice in a smoothie, put frozen fruits of what ever you like and then add your favorite juice (cold) and then blend it will be a little icy!. but if you want to put ice in it then add something that has flavor thats not liquid but cold, a thicker component so it wont sink to the bottom after you blend!. hope this helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Agree with 1st poster!. You need more ice!. The very act of blending causes some of the ice to melt!.

Keep in mind that EVERY slush will separate as it begins to melt because ice is lighter than water and will float!. Drinking from a straw from the bottom will suck up the melted liquid and give you the perception that the drink stays slushier longer but the reality is it is melting and you are just drinking the melted part of the drink through the straw!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Too much liquid!. If your ice is floating at all, you've got a problem!. Try putting ice, and then watch until the ice portion is about halfway filled with liquid!. Blend that, and if it's too thick, and more liquid, but not much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ok i dont quite understand, how thats possible you blender should do the job anyway, but try putting less liquid in and running it for a longer time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You need more ice and more blending!. You need a slushy type of texture!.!.yours is not blended enough!Www@FoodAQ@Com

stir it often as you drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What do you expect if you blend water and ice!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
