For best results when using the auto cycle, make sure to add enough liquid to completely cover all solid ingredients before blending. The auto cycle works with both fresh and frozen ingredients. If your ingredients are frozen solid, we recommend letting them defrost for 5-10 minutes before blending.
Under-ripe, hard, or extra fibrous ingredients like root vegetables, kale, celery, nuts, and seeds may require two auto cycles to reach the desired consistency. For smoothies, we recommend blending tougher ingredients with liquid in the first auto cycle, then adding frozen ingredients to the second cycle. This prevents over-processing, so your smoothie comes out thick and cold.
