I got this unit to coax an ailing but very  finicky family member into eating more fruits and veg by "hiding" them in frozen yogurt and ice cream concoctions. In about 30 minutes, including prep time, I was able to create a huge variety of truly tasty treats that were a hit. Even though they all contained sizeable servings of kale! : ) Results were smooth, perfectly frozen and textured every time. a lifesaver.
