instructions smoothie

You can use your Smoothie Blender for making delicious and nutritious cold drinks. It’s easy to use and the smoothie drink can be dispensed directly into a cup or glass. We’ve also included a stirring device to assist with the blending.
A selection of recipes can be found at the back of the instructions, but the handy markings on the goblet allow you to mix ingredients of your choice. Combinations of fruit and yoghurt (both fresh and frozen), ice cream, ice cubes, juice and milk can be used.
