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. Excited to find a blender that can keep up with all we do! Ready to kick up our 'healthy living on a budget' nights with our young soldiers! Thanks for the fantastic info you always send!
  2. Wow. I would love to win this blender. I have heard such great things about Blentec. I currently am using an old Oster blender which barely can blend a smoothie!! Also I drink almond milk on a daily basis and would love to be able to make my own.
  3. Good morning! I would like to win this appliance b/c I'm about to move into my first apartment. Nutrition is important to me, and cooking is a passion, but I only have one job at the moment, making it difficult to do these things with my current budget. I've been searching the market for equipment that fits my needs and also makes a good investment, and this looks like a gadget that fits it all for me! A food processor becomes essential for a healthy, frugal, and/or vegan lifestyle, and this also has food-processing capabilities. Smoothies are especially important to me also, and this gadget obviously does that, too. Smoothies become a staple. I like the little attachment for small jobs like personal smoothies and personal hummus packs, and b/c it allows for quicker clean-up. Another thing that really catches my eye is that it is not plastic, but glass. I am sick and tired of having plastic in my life b/c of how horrible it is. I don't want it near the people I love or the food I eat. I have a little hand blender/water bottle contraption that does the job pretty well, but sadly it is plastic. I want to give it to my boyfriend for the time-being so that he can have the health and convenience of smoothies each day, but I also don't want him around plastic. Even still, winning this would improve our lives incredibly in lieu of saving money, living healthier, and also saving time and getting us out the door in the morning!!
    1. I also forgot to mention that his birthday is tomorrow, October 9th, and my birthday is coming up soon on the 23rd. If that counts for anything. Have a great day! :D
  4. Thanks for the chance to win a blendtec! I've never had a blender so this would be awesome to win one and make life a little easier!
  5. I'd love to win this Blender - I only have a hand blender right now but having a powerful blender would be a big help with my healthy eating endeavors!
  6. Recipe sounds (and looks) delicious! That blender also looks incredible. Seems as though it would make all my meal/smoothie prep much quicker and be way more efficient than the 7-year-old contraption I'm currently working with. Good luck to everyone who entered (but mostly to me lol)
  7. This would be great ... my blender doesn't seem to have enough "umpf" for some of my recipes. It'd be nice not to lug out the food processor after I've tried blending everything. :)
  8. I would love to win this blender so I can continue to keep my family on the path of healthy eating. My kids love smoothies and homemade peanut butter..this would be great to use for those and so much more!
