Why does my blender leave chunks in frozen smoothies?

Question

Accepted Answer

Three causes: 1) Not enough liquid — add more to create a vortex. 2) Too much frozen fruit at once — add in stages. 3) Motor too weak — sub-700W blenders cannot reliably crush frozen fruit. Upgrade to 1,000W+ or use a tamper to push ingredients into the blade.
