First blender, so still learning what I can and cannot do. I have not used to mix many root vegetables that may provide healthier benefits, but I am starting to better understand how to use the blender. I mainly use the single serving to mix protein and fruit smoothies and a guidebook to better understand how you can make the smoothie healthier. Initially I was having issues with larger frozen fruit such as strawberries and larger chunks of cantaloupe, but now that I know how to get them broken down using the pulse selection to break down before blending.
