SPEEDS
and blending needs to
prepare any recipe.
The four preset recipe programs were each developed based
on typical recipes in that category. However, you'll find that not
all recipes are exactly the same, and sometimes a particular recipe
might blend more to your preference on a program that is not
obvious. For example, some milkshakes with frozen fruit blend
better on the Icy Drinks/Smoothies program. Also, when making
smoothies, you might prefer the finer texture that the Juice program
creates. We encourage you to experiment to find the best program
for your favourite recipes.
