Raspberry Coconut Smoothie

It’s giveaway time again.  I know many of my recipes require a blender, so I wanted to be able to give you an opportunity to win one.  I contacted Blendtec and they gave me a Blendtec blender to review and another to give away.  This blender is awesome.  I especially love how wide the pitcher is.  Makes for very easy cleaning.  I whipped up this smoothie in no time at all.  In fact, there are set modes on the blender so you can just press a button and walk away.  Great for all us moms out there who are trying to keep up with the kids as we cook.

Not only have I made this smoothie with it, but I have also used it to grind oats into flour, and make soup.  It handled every job beautifully.  The twister jar is great because it can tackle the smaller jobs like hummus and almond butter.

If you plan on drinking 1 serving and saving the rest, pour the remaining smoothie into ice cube trays and freeze for quick blending on another day. Enjoy!

  1. been debating between this and a vitamix. I love the idea of the twister jar for nut butters tho! and winning would take away the tough choice!; thanks for the chance!
  2. I really need a good blender to make some of the things that my current blender just can't do. For example, I would love to make coconut butter, nut butters, and almond paste.
  3. I would love to win one of these! I've tried making smoothies in my cheap blender I got as a wedding gift 10 years ago, but I can never get them as smooth and delicious as the stores. I tried adding spinach once and my kids revolted, there were still chunky bits!
  4. I want to win because I want to give a BlendTec to my sister... I have one myself- first purchase I made when I found out I was pregnant. Now, it is my sister's turn... she wants to incorporate more whole foods in her diet as she goes through pregnancy- and this blender is a MAJOR help!!!

  8. I would love to have this! I am having several health issues and am trying to heal myself through what I put in my body. I just started drinking daily green smoothies but this would really help me with that as my current blender isn't that great. I would love to use it for hummus, almond butter, almond milk, soups, and numerous other things!! Good luck everyone! :)
  9. I desperately need this. I have managed to kill the motor on my Cuisanart blender/ food processor from over use! Please!
  10. How awesome for them to give you a blender, and one to give away!! I make smoothies everyday and my blender doesn't crush ice very well so I use frozen fruit and frozen yogurt to get the crunch :-)
  11. Wow! Exciting giveaway! I just began working with a holistic nutritionist and am going to be eliminating gluten & dairy from my diet. This Blendtec would help ease my transition by simplifying food prep.
  12. This would absolutely be a dream come true for me. We just recently started a whole revamped whole food diet. Mysely, my husband, my 3 year old, and I am going to make my own baby food for my newborn. I would LOVE this blender to feed my new smoothie obsession!!!
