I made a delicious smoothie with some frozen bananas, strawberries, yogurt, and some orange juice.  Not only was the smoothie, smooth . The blender blended it all with such ease . I especially like the feature of labeled button settings and the easy pour lid. The lid on the pitcher is really tight fitting. That’s a real help. I’m looking forward to using this blender for more than just smoothies. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
