How To Use Mason Jars With A Blender

If you’re as obsessed as we are with using Mason jars for everything, you’ll want to know how to use them with a blender. For those of you who haven’t seen the newest trend of blending liquids in jars, it is a pretty darn clever way to bring your favorite drinks on-the-go.

One of our favorite things about this is that no one can see what’s inside the jar, so they don’t know what you’re drinking! Try it out and tell us what you think!

In this post, we’ll break down how to place all the essentials needed for a great Jar Blend – from choosing a jar and accessories, right through to perfecting your techniques.

Choosing Your Jar

Jar choice is pretty important, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. For example, a standard wide mouth Mason jar will not be ideal for fitting all the pieces needed for a Jar Blend. Instead, we recommend using these jars:

Acrylic Jar: This jar has a wide opening and can be safely used in most blenders. It’s also available in a range of sizes from 10oz to 32oz (which is our top pick). These jars are particularly useful if you’re planning on using your blend for lunch in a packed lunch bag or taking it with you on-the-go. The acrylic construction means there is no metal and therefore won’t leak or react with your food. It’s also completely transparent so you can see what’s inside.

Stainless Steel Jar: These jars are a heavier, more durable option. They’re great for crushing ice or if you make blended drinks regularly.

Ounces: There is no such thing as too many ounces when it comes to smoothies, shakes or any blended frozen drinks. If you plan on making regular Jar Blends, we recommend going for larger jars that hold 32oz-64oz, especially if it’s going in a bag for travel purposes. These jars are also great if you’re going to be crushing ice, as they have a huge capacity.

Glass Jar: Glass jars are the most practical option when you want to blend smoothies in a small space. They’re also great if you want to make a large batch and store in the freezer (for blending later!). However, they’re not suitable for storing hot liquids so try this with caution.

They’re the most versatile if you’re making a cup at a time and are ideal for travel.

Once you’ve figured out what jar will be best for your blend, it’s time to look at the pieces that make up your jar.

Jar Base: The base of the jar needs to be strong enough to withstand the powerful motor of a blender, but also needs to be transparent so that it can sit directly on top of the machine. It’s important that this part fits securely into your blender (especially if it has a wide mouth) so that it doesn’t fly off during blending. [This type of Jar Base is one of the toughest, but it won’t last a lifetime.]

Strainer or Mesh: You’ll need this if you’re planning on using your Blend for smoothies or other drinks where there’s any chance of having crushed ice. The best option is something that’s designed for crushing ice (you can also use something like cheesecloth).

It should fit securely and tightly over the rest of your jar, but it shouldn’t be too heavy. Remember not to use a jar that has a narrow mouth opening—it needs to fit securely inside the Jar Base so it doesn’t fly off during blending! A good example is a wide-mouthed Mason Jar.

Every kitchen needs a mason jar, but how do you use them? Learn how to mix together ingredients in these jars and blend your favorite recipes in this article. Once you understand the basics of the jar, experiment with different recipes to find the perfect one for your family.

Mason jars are great for storing and canisters, but many people love using them with blenders too. Follow these steps to get started and make healthy smoothies right at home! I hope you enjoy this recipe and I’ll see myself out.

Can a mason jar explode?

You can attach a lid and lid band to a jar that is made from glass, stainless steel, or plastic. This will keep your smoothie fresh for up to four days in the refrigerator and up to 3 months in the freezer.

If you want to make blends with other non-reactive materials such as wood or metal, then find out how to make a mason jar without a lid with these instructions. You should always follow safety procedures and recipe instructions.

How long can mason jars be stored?

If you plan on using your mason jars for storing blends, try storing them upside down in the cupboard so that they remain upright until you need them. If you’re blending in the fridge, then try storing mason jars on their sides so they don’t fall over. Just make sure that your jars are sealed and tight enough to contain the contents—you don’t want any leaking!

Mason jars aren’t just used for storing blends—they’re also popular for juicing, smoothies, and more. Throughout the year, I’ll be interviewing those who are passionate about making healthy oatmeal smoothies in Mason jars. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll find below:

Can you use Mason jars with NInja blender?

It’s not recommended, as the motor is too powerful for a mason jar and it won’t be able to blend properly. The Blendtec and Vitamix are both designed for use with jars, but you’ll need to follow instructions on the capacity of each.

Can you use Mason jars for smoothies?

I love using mason jars for smoothies. If you’re just getting started, you should try making a smoothie with bananas and peanut butter. For an extra delicious treat, add dates and coconut water to the mixture. It’s like a homemade meal in a jar!

Can you use Mason jars with Oster blenders?

Oster blenders have a narrow opening that makes it difficult to use mason jars. Instead, choose an alternative such as the Oster BCPSTXH blending jar that can be used with all Oster blender models and has been designed specifically for this purpose. Be sure to follow instructions on how far to fill your blending jar with food, as it differs between models.

Conclusion:

There are a lot of benefits to mason jars, but they can get boring, so be sure to mix things up a little. Instead of sticking to the same foods, try substituting ingredients or adding your own combinations to see which taste best. You can also get creative with how you use mason jars. Try layering your smoothie in a jar instead of blending it, or how about trying out new recipes with layers such as a parfait? There are so many possibilities and I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
