Yes, you can put them in there. I used to throw Ice cube in mine (old glass oster). Ice is alot harder than frozen berries, berries have sugar in them which keeps them from freezing as hard. Besides it makes the smoothies nice and chilled.
Now that depends on how good your blender is
Yes you can. Will not damage.
it is possible, but you'd better wait for them to unfreeze a little
If it's a decent blender then yes, I did it only a couple of days ago, if it jams turn it off, stir, then start it again, do this every time it jams. It won't burn out unless you leave it one for ages when it jams up. You should be fine.
If you're too worried then let them thaw a little
=:-)
yes
if your blender choppes ice then it will also chop berries
at smoothie bars the fruit is all frozen but the machines are strong too
you will only find out if you try
a weak machine will burn out quicker if you use ice and frozen stuff but most of them should be able to handle it
yes
yes you can, but I suggest that you use some simple syrup or OJ(some liquid), so that you don't completely destroy your blender. And it depends on your power.
proabably. you need to let the berries sit out until slightly mushy, or microwave them for 10 second intervals until there mushy, buy still cold. i would recommend 1 part bluberrys, 2 parts peaches, 3 parts banana , and 4 parts strawberry, and then add crushed ice, and milk of my fav soy milk.
Definitely
I do it all the time and my blender is 5 years old and works perfectly.
How much did you pay for your blender? The old addage of You get what you pay for is one I follow.
Generally the glass jug blenders are of a better quality than the plastic jug ones.
I do, I have one with the ice crushing programme on it so i no that it can handle it.
Best is to soak them in warm water for 2 mins.
The blenders that blend ice will blend easily. Rest , take care.
yes, you can put frozen berries. Most semi-decent blenders are made to blend frozen fruit. If you got really large strawberries, you might want to thaw them a bit, because they can be hard when frozen, but all other berries can go straight in.
I do it every morning pet! I usualy use frozen blackberries/raspberries and red and blackcurrants, add mango or banana - and voila, yummy goodness before I hit the gym - keeps me going until brekkers!!
yes u can
It will be fine, but you need to blend the cr*p out of the berries
Defrost them a bit, but yeah should be ok Jamie Oliver did
The problem with some blenders is that the blades are not strong enough to break ice and will buckle. If you've lost the guide, maybe you could ask on here if somebody has the same type of blender? (My blender is a kenwood gourmet about 10 years old and it won't do ice, if that's helpful!) Or ring the manufacturer's helpline. I wouldn't advise you just gave it a go because if you ruin the blades then you've ruined your blender.
If you chop ice in the blender then berries are okay to, if in doubt though, wait a little for the berries to thaw slightly,this will give you a nice cool smoothie
Yes - blenders are very resilient tools!
