I faced a similar issue when trying to blend my standard test of six ice cubes, which remained below the fill line. That said, the manual does advise that when blending harder ingredients, the cup shouldn’t be filled past half way. That does not, however, leave much room for blending anything. My trickiest smoothie test recipes – one containing small pieces of hard veg and fruit, such as carrots, apples and broccoli, and a chocolate smoothie with frozen strawberries, ice, cashews, flax seeds and cacao nibs – also required some shaking and resulted in slightly bitty/crunchy mixtures after 1min and 1min30secs of blending respectively. In addition to the recommendations of cutting food into 3cm pieces and placing the hardest ingredients into the cup first, the manual does acknowledge some gentle shaking of the cup may be needed during blending. I blended it for about 50secs, but it looked done after about 30secs. I had similar fit issues with the Green Smoothie recipe, even though I used slightly fewer pineapple pieces than recommended. After the recommended 30secs, there were still a couple unblended sections, so I shook it and resumed blending for another 30secs. ![]() The ingredients for the Acai Bowl actually filled the cup past the fill line and the cup needed a bit of shaking before and during blending. I started my tests by trying out a couple of the recipes from the provided booklet. The On the Go Blender was very good at blending fruit, but it struggled with larger portions of harder ingredients and ice in particular.
