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. I would love a blendtec! I am working on transitioning my family to a whole food way of life and this would be a tremendous help in that process! My youngest is 6 months old and the twister jar would be perfect for making my own baby food. It would also by great to make almond butter since my oldest has a peanut allergy and most store bought nut butters are cross contaminated.
  2. I would LOVE to win this blender! We love smoothies but only have a magic bullet, so it takes a few times to get smoothies for the whole family. I would love to try making nut butters too!
  3. This would be so amazing. My magic bullet just isn't powerful enough and Is a pain to clean. This would make it so much easier to make your recipes.
  4. I have a one year old and we are just starting our whole food journey. We could really use one of these to get us started in the right direction! :) I love how easy you make everything! Thank you!
  5. WOW this is a great giveaway! I would love to win this, my blender leaks everywhere and barely has any power, i have to defrost my frozen fruit to get it to puree my smoothies! Then i tried to use my OLD food processer to make some of your larabars yesterday, FAIL...it wouldn't spin anything!!
  6. This blender sounds like the do all I've been needing. I recently switched my household to 100% GMO free and this blender would help me save on food being able to make a lot more things homemade! Wrote down the recipe too! Sounds delicious!
  7. My son will turn 21 next week. I thought this would be a great gift for him. He is following in our footsteps with healthy eating and delicious smoothies. He is using our hand me down blender. He would be so happy and suprised with the Blendtec Blender.
  8. I would like to win this blender for my mom! She has an auto immune disease and I'm slowly teaching her how to use food as medicine... and I know this would motivate her to cook more at home! Thanks for the opportunity!
  9. My blender is my most used piece of kitchen equipment. From smoothies to soups to nut butters and more -- my blender gets used everyday. And everyday I wish I had a great blender (not my Walmart cheapie) but it's just not the right time to spend money on a great one. This blender would get a workout everyday in my home! Thanks for the contest!
    1. You can try subbing avocado. It will provide the creaminess that the banana brings to this recipe. Trust me, you will not be able to taste it.
