â Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. How do I differentiate between the PC-2110's blender and juicer functions?
For smoothies, use the blender function. It blends whole ingredients (including fiber), allowing you to ingest all nutrients. The juicer function is used to extract only the liquid from fruits and vegetables. If you're aiming for detoxification or easier digestion, a juicer is recommended; if you prioritize satiety and fiber, the blender is better.
Q2. How should I store smoothies if I make them in advance?
You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To prevent oxidation, add lemon juice and fill the container to the brim to block air exposure. Freezing ingredients the night before and blending them with the PC-2110 in the morning is the most nutritious and efficient method.
Q3. Is it okay to mix protein powder with the PC-2110?
Yes. The PC-2110's blender function can smoothly mix protein powder. It prevents clumping and mixes more evenly than a typical shaker. It can be used with all types of protein, including whey, soy, and pea protein.
Q4. Can the PC-2110 be used with hot liquids?
Yes. The PC-2110 is compatible with warm liquids (up to 60°C). However, extremely hot liquids (such as those just off the boil) may cause pressure to build up in the jar, so please allow them to cool slightly before use. It can also be used for hot smoothies and soups.
Q5. Where can I purchase the Happilaff PC-2110?
It is available for purchase on the Happilaff official online store. We offer free shipping nationwide within Japan.
