The Smoothie Blast
™
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 3 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 on 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. Then press the button to “ON” and wait until
the ingredients are completely mixed.
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.
4. SERVE IT – To serve the smoothie, press the switch to “ON”,
place a cup under the valve and press down the valve lever.
Stir the contents in the blending jar with the stir stick while dispensing thick
smoothies. As the smoothie level reaches the bottom of the blending jar, a thick
mix may stop dispensing. Add a few tablespoons of liquid to increase flow.
When the blending jar is empty, turn the machine “OFF” and enjoy. You can
continue making smoothies one after another, but be sure to give the smoothie
maker a 5-minute break after 3 minutes of continuous use.
