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.

  1. how does this blender compare to the vitamix blender? I have been looking for the vitamix and have a hard time finding one.
    1. I like the Vitamix as well, but the Blendtec works just as well and has a wider pitcher which makes it much easier to use and clean. I really like the added twister jar too. It's almost like getting a magic bullet and a blender in one!
    2. I had the same question yesterday and found this review: http://www.blenderbabes.com/blender-babes-101/blender-reviews/blendtec-vs-vitamix/ Very thorough, should answer your questions.
  2. With two kiddos we are rethinking what we put on the table. It would be wonderful to be able to try some of your recipes with the help of a blender! :)
  3. I have been experimenting more and more with my recipes (with many from your site) -- and my blender has become a great tool! Unfortunately, my current blender is from my single days over 10 years ago and was never good quality, but I got by! I'm pretty sure I just burned the motor out making some banana muffins with oats, so I am in desperate need of a GOOD replacement!
  4. I have been drooling over one of these for years now! I would love to win it to be able to make even more healthy recipes at home! The other blenders just aren't the same :-)
  5. I have been wanting to begin making my own almond milk and almond butter, but my current appliances are not powerful enough, and I don't have the extra money to buy a good quality product like a Blendtec. It would be so cool to win this!
  6. I would love to use this blender to make my sauces and to grind my own oats, nuts etc. also for the drinks.. raspberry smoothies.. yum!
  7. So many uses for this blender. It eliminates so many household appliances. Plus the health benefits of blending smoothies, making your own nut butters, soups, dips, and many more things!
  8. I would love to win because I am a pastry chef who uses a blender for a variety of tasks. This is a way better blender than what I am currently using and I would get better results. Although summer has gone, I still love my homemade popsicles!
  9. I would love to win this blender. My husband and I are starting out on eating better and trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I would love to start making my own stuff instead of buying a lot of processed stuff. This would make it more affordable for us.
  10. I want to win because I was robbed a couple of year ago and the thieves took all of my small kitchen appliances. I'm disabled, so haven't been able to replace them yet. Winning this blender would be a dream come true!
