blending jar is conveniently marked to create perfect smoothies. To
make your favorite frozen drinks, follow the steps below.
1. ADD LIQUIDS – Add any combination of liquid ingredients up to the LIQUIDS
mark under SERVES 2 or SERVES 4 located on the blending jar. Liquids
include any soft ingredients such as fruit, milk, fruit juice, herbal supplements, or
yogurt in any combination you think would be tasty.
We are, of course, partial to the Back to Basics
®
smoothie mixes, which quickly
and easily make three delicious 8-ounce smoothies.
2. ADD ICE – Add ice or frozen ingredients until the total level reaches the
FROZEN INGREDIENTS line on the side of the blending jar. Frozen ingredients
include ice, frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, ice cream, etc.
3. SMOOTH IT – With the lid locked in place and the stir stick
(use as directed below) set in the hole on the lid, pulse the
mixture 2 or 3 times by pressing the “PULSE” button. Next,
push the “LOW” button and mix for 20-30 seconds. Push
the “HIGH” button for the final 10-15 seconds of mixing.
STIR STICK OPERATION – When in use and while the
machine is running, stir or rotate the Stir Stick in a counter-
clockwise direction so that the Stir Stick scrapes or contacts
the sides of the blending jar. This stirring operation will aid
in mixing the contents of the blending jar by forcing the
ingredients into the mixing blades.
