Can I put 64 oz. of fruit in this and then blend?

The short answer is absolutely. There is plenty of room. It is a 90 oz container.Here is the warning: The 5th side of the container creates some kind of vortex that mixes the product very thoroughly. This mixing require a tremendous amount of extra energy, especially when at or near capacity. Luckily, Vita-mix is incredibly over designed, and can support these overloads for several minutes without doing long term damage.I have no problem processing 64 oz of diced tomatoes for 20 - 40 seconds. So an emphatic YES. Just use good judgment, and if the motor is straining, shut 'er down. The short answer is absolutely. There is plenty of room.

I am sorry that I can't answer this question. I have filled the jar to half, then added liquid, then added more fruit - or vegetables. I have never measured or weighed the contents. To be sure, you can go to Blendtec.com - they must have specifications as well as a way to ask questions. Good luck.

Absolutely! Just make sure you save room at the top for expansion. I'm ordering more bottles today. Every Sunday we make fruit smoothies for the week and freeze. :) Excellent product.

I haven't tried any of that, but I did look through the book, nothing was mentioned. When you use the fruit you need to let it set out for 12 min. to get to the right consistency, so I don't think a liquid would work. They do use liquids to pour over it after its finished, like rum. I hope this helps, its really a great item.

No Way. It doesn't even blend soft fruits properly as the blade just chops only which is in the very bottom of the blender. You have to open the lid several times to cycle the contents manually to the bottom to get it chopped. I was about to return this item and it is stuck with me because of the return shipping charge.

Not a good idea...when you make the smoothie, after a period of time there will be a separation of the heavy/light ingredients.you can probably remix with a very short mix again

Not a chance it could take the place of a blender or blend fruit. It will barely scramble an egg. I threw mine away it was a waste of money.

I think you can. You would have to have a sizeable quantity though. It's like a blender on steroids but it has to have enough to work with.

I use the largest container that comes in the box (two small, one large) and can make a smoothie for my wife and I each morning. It's probably half the volume you can achieve with the Vitamix 750? I would estimate that 2 whole apples, some cucumber bits, water, and some frozen berries would fit. As to compare with juicing: you get the pulp! I had a juicer before and you just get a sugar blast. Ick!Two favs: (1) water, whole banana (and a 1/4 frozen banana), avocado, tsp vanilla, tsp honey(2) water, 4 large kale leaves, handful of frozen blueberries, scoop fortified yeast, tbsp udol's oil, tbsp chia seeds, tbsp camu camu powder, scoop of vega sport protein (vanilla) I use the largest container that comes in the box (two small, one large) and can make a smoothie for my wife and I each morning.

Yes! That's primarily what we use it for - making health drinks with frozen fruit. It's better than a traditional blender in my experience.

Yes I have done that but usually what I do is blend it together with some fruit and fruit juice maybe some yogurt or kefir.

No this is a very high quality juicer. You can use the juice to blend into smoothies.

I never tried that, but it does an adequate job with frozen fruits (while they are still frozen), so I would think this item would be a good and inexpensive way to blend cooked fruits and veggies for the wee one.

I agree with Rebecca. At first you will have some trial and error because you need to decide how thick/thin you need the liquid or food (such as soup, juices, meds, etc). If you want it like applesauce consistency, you will need a couple of the scoop spoons. You do not want to make this up ahead of time. Mix it as needed.

Depends on ur taste. I've added some fruit to make it like a smoothie or another flavor.

Yes you can do it and it does not effect the life of the product. But if you do it with wet products it will be better for blending .

The main advantage to the smaller container is that it is shorter, allowing the blender can fit under a standard cabinet. Personally, I would not go down to a 32 oz container; the 48 oz fits under my cabinets and handles most everything. I rarely pull out my larger container now. Don't forget that you need room in the container for the blending process. You could never actually put anywhere near 32 oz of food in a 32 oz container.

Absolutely! Just follow the directions on the side of the container. You'll want to add the full container to a relatively empty tank and then fill the tank up which helps it to mix.
