Anyone got any tips? The banana smoothies I make in my new blendtec have more froth and turn brown much quicker than the ones I used to make in my old blender. I've tried just blending for less time but still.. not so happy with the results.

awesome. Thanks for the info and link!
Thanks for all the replies.
Like Nate says above all my banana smoothies in the blendtec seem to go brown within 20mins or so. Frozen nanas seem to be even worse than fresh. I've tried the pulse method but even with the *slightest* touch on the pulse button I get a vortex forming, can't seem to keep it from aerating. I think this a peculiarity of the pulse function on the blendtec. Maybe an immersion blender is the way to go.
Have found that adding a little fat seems to reduce the froth.
Good stuff.
Appreciate it, nate
interesting. Thanks, guys.
Seems a lot easier to clean than a blender too.
How much was yours nate?
what wind said - the browning is due to additional air oxidising the nutrients in the banana - reduce the air, you reduce the browning.
Use a stick (immersion) blender.
How powerful is a stick, Bart? Are there any normal fruits it bogs down with?
You can get different strengths. Mine is a super cheapo from the discount store. I use it for ripe bananas and nothing else. It would get bogged down easily with anything more fibrous. Actually would like to upgrade to something a bit stronger.
