Blendtec Total Blender Classic Series - Review/Giveaway



Blendtec Review
Blendtec

Have you ever wanted a Blender?  I mean a REAL blender, one that could do multiple jobs aside from just your average blender.  Then my friend, you want a Blendtec.  Make that need!  I am so excited to share my review of the Total Blender Classic Series with you.  It's really the only appliance that you need on your counter.  The possibilities are endless from smoothies, fresh WHOLE juice, ice cream, milkshakes, cappuccinos, margaritas, soups, sauces, bread dough, dressings, salsas, and so much more!  I love the Wildside Jar.  It worked perfectly for bread crumbs for my Italian Chicken Patties. I also used it to chop the meat up to make the patties! Yesterday I shared my recipe for Spicy Cauliflower Soup that I made using the Wildside Jar.  Oh man this machine has been so much fun to use!  


Spicy Cauliflower Soup

I have been using the Twister Jar daily to make my morning smoothies as it really is the ideal size!  I plan on making Chris sunflower seed butter as soon as I can find some that aren't processed with peanuts, which defeats the whole purpose of not using peanuts - but that's a whole other story!  I can't wait until Mikaylee starts solids.  The Twister Jar makes baby food quicker than you can open a jar of baby food.  No Kidding!  The first time I ever heard of Blendtec was on a TV show.  They actually had it in a lab where they had to get food to a liquid to test for different things.  Then I started following them on twitter.  They occasionally have giveaways and deals on their facebook too!

Their jars are BPA-free and have a generous capacity.  Have you ever been to a smoothie place and had one of those super smooth smoothies?!  This is one of those blenders.  Yeah, it's that good.  I can't wait to share the yummy recipes I created using this machine, but in the meantime I want to know what you would create if you had one.  Oh yes, that's right!

  142. I would probably make a round of Frozen Mojitos first to celebrate having won!!
    I have been lusting after a Blendtec for ages now! starting last January 2012 I embarked on a journey for health and healing by transitioning to a 100% Raw Vegan diet. So far I've lost 90 lbs, stopped the onset of hereditary diseases and lost all depression and mental foggyness. The journey even led me to rediscovering my spirituality. Unfortunately, the journey also claimed the life of two perfectly innocent consumer grade blenders. I use a blender for almost everything, and so many times a day. Now that I find myself once again blender-less I dream of using this Blendtec to make smoothies, raw soups, juices, nut milks, sprouted flours, nut pate, dressings, desserts, jams, and the list goes on and on and on and on. I spend so much of my day and this blender and twister jar would make my meal preparation SO MUCH more manageable!

    I would be so grateful for you to email me if I've won here: ohessie@gmail.com

    Thanks!
