Great blender!!! Crushes Ice in a flash. Love the single serve cups and lids!!
We purchased this to use for a healthy breakfast start for our family. I have been changing up the ingredients each morning and it has been wonderful. I am using the milling blade for flax seed, and the big container and emulsifying blade for the kale,apple,celery, etc. and it works wonderful. Its important to add non concentrated orange juice or water to the vegis so the machine can do its job. Only issue we've had is that it can leak just a bit and we wish the large container was just a bit Larger.…
this is my second time buying this really convenient and easy to use
I love the smoothie 'wind up'!…
Wow, we are impressed with this as daily smoothie and juice drinkers.…
Love it!!
Love the size! Easy to put away out of sight
Love this thing, makes my morning smoothie routine a breeze.…
My Ninja has 4 fins. It is powerful. Great little smoothie maker.
Yes! Best blender I've ever had! Truly makes smoothie consistency without leftover chunks of ice!
My family love making smoothies we use it everyday
…Great for smoothies
I grind seeds, pumpkin, sunflower, flax and chia seeds for my smoothie and it works well.
I always use protein powder with my smoothies. I also use milk and juice. You do get some bubbles when blending it with out something frozen like ice or frozen pineapple. The frozen pineapple thickens the mixture and no bubbles.
I have bought this item a Ninja BL480D Blender 32/24/18 oz or in Metric = 900ml, 650ml and a 500ml. All containers include measurements on the side of the containers. This is the best blender i have bought so far, I use it for smoothies with frozen fruit straight out of the freezer and milk. It is extremely powerful and only takes 20 to 30 seconds to blend the frozen fruit and because of its power it does it easily. It has a very strong type of plastic gear with 7 fins to really spin the blending blade which has 6 blades made in to one fixed blade. It is a bit noisy but i am ok with that because i wanted a very strong blender and this Ninja has a 1000Watt Motor that just blends so quickly and easily, so i can't expect to have it both ways. The quiet one i had before, just burnt the motor out trying to blend frozen fruit. The container works by screwing on the Blending Cap which has the blade on it, and after screwing the blade cap on nice and firm, just turn it upside down and line up the plastic container which has 4 small plastic lobes on it and lock in to place by turning the container about half an inch. A good Safety feature is that you can not start the blending unless the container which has the plastic cap/blade on it is in the locked position. It comes with 3 Containers, 3 Lids which also have a small latch you can open for drinking straight from the containers and the Blending Cap which has the Blade on the inside, and a manual and tips for blending. I have had my Ninja for about 6 months approx and is still going as strong as it was on the first day and i am very happy. It also has a 3 blending settings besides the on off button, 1 is a Manual Pulse button for short bursts of power to start the blending, and 2 Auto IQ Settings which are automatic once you push the button in. The auto settings will run for about a minute, with blending and pauses during the minute of blending. I normally use the auto settings because once you push it in there is nothing else to do except drink it when your finished blending. The 2 Auto IQ Settings run for a minute, these 2 Auto IQ options are called, Blend and Ultra Blend. I normally only have to use the #1 Auto IQ Setting and most times I do not have to run it for the full minute because it is just so strong. The frozen fruit I use is for smoothies are normally Strawberries, Apple, Melon, Pineapple, all other berry types, ice cubes and the largest container is 900 ml and i pack the container to the top with frozen fruit and then milk, and all that takes is only 20 to 30 seconds max. At that time, there is no pieces of solid fruits left and it is a very nice smoothy that reminds me of the thick milk shakes i use to love at school. I don't have any complaints because it is so strong and durable so far it is exactly what I wanted in a blender, and yes it is a bit noisy but I can put up with that because of the power it has.

Great blender!!! Crushes Ice in a flash. Love the single serve cups and lids!!
Works wonderfully!!! Ninja is the best!!!
This has been a great blender for all sorts of uses. Don't use the food processor as much but also very good.
Yes it will make a smooth texture smoothie.
It doesn't grind them up but leaves them as little crunchy seeds when I make my morning smoothie. I like the texture in my breakfast! :-)
The best investment I think I've ever made! Vegan cooking requires a lot of blending, everything I put into the ninja comes out smooth and creamy, this is a blender you can make cashew based sauces with no problem and in a very short amount of time. I'm so glad I bought it.
This thing is amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Easy use
Not sure but my guess is yes. It's immensely powerful and makes amazing smoothies.
Probably. It crushes ice in seconds to make wonderful smoothies.

Easy to clean! Has a lot of power.
Not just for smoothies, but an outstanding everyday blender. My smoothies have never been better - this awesome machine chops up even the most fibrous collard stems into creamy, digestible fiber. Extend your life and improve your health - drink green smoothies!
It makes smoothies great! Just make sure to use crushed ice!
Carrots can be used in smoothies. It's best to chop the carrots into 1/4 inch slices. Make sure to use plenty of liquid.
I love this blender.This actually my second one. The first one I had for years, use it every day and it finally gave out on me. The new one was such a great price. I freeze everything, avocado, spinach, fruit, Everything I put in here grinds right up no problem. Plenty of power.…
…It makes great smoothies and has helped me to lose 10 lbs!
…My husband and I use it to make our green and yogurt smoothies. …I know it would be useful for so many other things, but we are happy to have a blade that will chop the ice in our smoothies!
This is a powerful and easy way to make smoothies. It crushes ice very fine. I have had smoothies that I can't taste the berry seeds. It taste like the ones you would make for 5-8 dollars. I love it and uses it each day.
The smoothies have a smooth texture but sometimes have chunks of frozen fruit in them. This machine snuggles to blend the frozen fruit.
this is my second time buying this really convenient and easy to use
College student gift. She loves it!
love my magic bullet...makes quick smoothies and very easy to clean and store
I think so. It's a great tool for smoothies!!
Smoothies are great made in my Magic Bullet!!!
Love it you said every morning to make my smoothies
…This makes smoothies so easy!
I use this all the time to make a quick smoothie in the morning for my commute to work. its super simple and easy as well as looks good on my counter!!!!…
Yes, with ease. I have only had it for 3 days, and made smoothies, with apples, bananas, nuts,spinich and kale. So the leafy vegetables, are not a problem at all. I love it. I made hummus too
I would definitely think so; I've used frozen fruit and vegetables and it definitely worked!
I love the smoothie 'wind up'!…
Works great with the smoothie cup. …I throw in frozen fruit, strawberry yogurt, juice, baby spinach, sometimes ice, and unless I’ve smashed things down too tight it will blend the perfect smoothie.…
I love this blender... it has great potential... great power
Put ingredients in smoothie cup. Attach botttom of blender "pitcher" to the top of the smoothie cup. Invert and place on the base of the blender. Turn blender on and select smoothie button. After it has gone through a few cycles, remove smoothie cup and invert. Shake contents a little before removing top. Screw on the smoothie cup lid and you're ready to go! Don't forget to rinse off the blade attachment for easy clean up!
Probably. I use it twice a day for smoothies. I’m very pleased with it
…Very happy with how well it works making smoothies!
Great blender work perfect
Very well made. Does the job and more. Used everyday, never knew I Needed this so much. Would buy again
The extra capacity smoothie cup is a hard BPA free plastic for portability.
Yes, it can. I put chia seeds in my smoothies every day, and they get ground up quite well using the "smoothie" setting. If there are a lot of items to process, you may need to stir it a bit, but I'm quite pleased with its ability to really grind those small bits up.
Wow, we are impressed with this as daily smoothie and juice drinkers.…
Exactly what I need it for my family smoothies!…
Love it, for my smoothies
This will do just great. I love this little beast
Perfect just put a little of your favorite liquid in with it and put it on pulse
Great blender !!!!
Awesome blender . Have been using it for for a month now. Feels solid, blends hard vegetables like carrots easily, easy to clean. Would recommend to anyone looking for an intermediate category blender for daily use.
Easy to use. Plenty of power rangers easy to clean. Also like the blender option.
Thanks for your question. Yes it can make a lot of things. Sauces, nut butters, smoothies, soups, dips, and so much more!
Thanks for your question. You can use milk to blend your smoothies yes. Please elaborate more on your inquiry thanks.
