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. I would love to have a Blendtec because of how easy it would be to use when I'm on the go and don't have time to stand and watch my food be made.
  2. I have been dying to have a nice blender like this, but it's not in the budget. I could make many of your recipes with one of these!
  3. So, there I am making smoothies in my kitchen the other morning... I tried doing the same thing, turning on the blender, then walking away for a few minutes to finish getting ready. I came back, and my blender is smoking!!! I was soooo lucky, it could have started on fire! We are now blenderless. :( I make smoothies so often that I need a good one. The one that died was only 2 years old! Is that common? I need a workhorse of a blender, not some $50 thing that'll last me 2 more years. Would be great to win this one!!! Fingers crossed!
  4. I want one so I can quit my job! Oh wait. That's the lottery. ;-) I want to win so I can try making new things in a new, cool, way!!
  5. I'm trying to get my husband and my extended family to eat a more nutritious diet- I'd love to win this to pass on to the in-laws! We were just talking about how easy it is to make smoothies at home.
  6. I use my Ninja at least once a day to make smoothies, sometimes more and I have worn out the blade! I can't find anywhere to get just the blade and don't really have 100's to spend on a new blender
  7. I'd love to have one of these! Trying to get more veggies in my smoothies and the old Hamilton beach just isn't "cutting" it!
  8. I've been scooping these blenders out for a while but they are so expensive! We use out little Oscar blender all the time for smoothies, dressings, pancakes, soups, hummus, and countless other things. I'd love to have a nice blender so we don't have to buy a new one every couple months!
  9. This is so sad I can't afford to up grade so I still am using my 10 year old Hamilton beach. yikes. I need to win this blendtech. than I could use it to make everything I dream to make.
  10. My blender is not very powerful & I noticed it does not help with some recipes I try because of that. It just makes more of a mess adding to my time in the kitchen. I hear from so many people how awesome this blender is & would love to win one to help me continue on my whole foods plant based diet that has allowed me to get off ALL my medications and still feel great & reducing my time spent in the kitchen! Thanks for the opportunity as I couldn't afford one. :)
