    Frozen yogurt…plain yogurt, frozen berries, frozen banana slices and a little bit of dark chocolate. Yum!

  3. Penny

    I love to make healthy smoothies for me and my hubby! I could see this blender in my newly remodeled kitchen that my hubby did :-)

  4. Polly Holthaus

    Salsa! Grow tomatoes and peppers in the summer months, can the tomoatoes and freeze the peppers then make fresh salsa in the winter months. MmMmMmMmMmMm Doesn’t get much better than that!

  5. Jenny C.

    Salsa! I love making different salsas in the blender. Ours broke a couple of months ago and buying salsa from the grocery store is definitely not the same!

  6. Susan H

    I had given up on blender concoctions, but if I had this…. well, I could recreate myself into a healthy person! This would be fantastic. Oooo, I hope I win!

  7. Leslie Lienemann

    BlendTecs are AWESOME!! I love making green smoothies (or any smoothies), nut milks, and baby food!

  8. Silvia

    I love to make juices/smoothies with kale, spinach, apples & peaches. I mix it up depending on the season. So yummy for my baby in my tummy!

  9. Deanna Johnson

    My favorite thing to make in the blender is health. And the best way to make that is green smoothies!

  10. Valerie K

    Beverages… of any kind :) although like you mentioned I have never owned a blender that I truly loved ;( I will soon need baby food so maybe this can kill 2 birds with 1 stone !!

    thanks Amanda!

  11. Cher

    By far my favorite would be milk shakes. My son’s first recipe request was platano con leche, banana milk shake. He was 12 at the time. He has gone through three blenders since then.

  12. April

    Probably smoothies…I only have an immersion blender, so I’d love to find out what I could make with a real blender!

  13. Makeup Morsels

    this is such a boring answer, but smoothies :) I like mine with Fage 2%, frozen strawberries, the banana strawberry orange juice base from Trader Joe’s, and a drizzle of honey. So good! Thanks for the giveaway!

  14. Brittany McGowan

    Smoothies, especially green smoothies! Throw in some kale, mint, spinach, pineapple, lemon! Voila!

  15. ileana

    Soups and smoothies! And ice cream!

    I’ve been coveting my friend’s blendtec for months now! All summer long she and her girls made the best ice creams with fresh fruits. And the strawberry lime recipe in the blendtec recipe book is SO good! My fingers are crossed!

  16. Kimberly M.

    I’m a smoothie fanatic, but my favorite thing I’ve made in a blender is a refreshing frozen cocktail creation I came up with.

    I made a vodka watermelon once, and we had wayyy too much watermelon left over, so we cut it into chunks and froze it. Took the frozen watermelon out and blended it in the blender with some frozen strawberries, local honey and a bottle of champagne. It was a super sweet and very PINK summer drink to enjoy in the hot Knoxville summer.

  17. Jeanne

    I don’t have a regular blender, just an immersion blender. I make salad dressings most often. I’d love to win a Blendtec!

  18. Kim in RI

    I would just like a blender that will actually blend! And I would christen my new blender with a coffee shake!

  19. Stephanie

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is a smoothie. I use the blender for all sorts of other things, but our morning smoothie is probably my favorite thing and it’s easy as well!

  20. Joy

    I have a recipe for “emergency blender chocolate cupcakes” and I can’t think of anything better to come out of a blender! Thank you Kevin & Amanda for running this amazing contest- I have had my eye on one of these super high power blenders forever! Keeping my fingers crossed :)

  21. Racheal Stahlman

    Smoothies for sure! And baby food for my baby boy. :D thanks for the opportunity, I’ve been drooling over the blend tech for about a year now!

  22. Alisha

    I am trying to eat right these days and have started adding protein shakes to my diet! I have one every morning and have lost 50 pounds in the last 3 months. My favorite thing to blend would have to be my morning protein shake! Love ’em!

  23. Kim @ Real Life for the New Wife

    Definitely smoothies – my favorite combination is peanut butter, blueberries, almond milk, and chia seeds! YUM. :)

  24. Yvonne

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is a chocolate milk shake. If it weren’t for the calories, I’d make one every night! Thanks for a great giveaway.

  25. Hayden Davis

    I love to blend fruit smoothies in the blender….before having kids I used to blend margarita’s quite frequently :-) My how things change…haha

  26. Jenni

    We love our smoothies! But I’m also excited to start grinding my own grains – and I hear the Blendtec can do that. How cool!

  27. James Orr

    My daily high protein, salted caramel mocha!

    I worked to figure out how to make a healthy frappuccino for months. I started from complete scratch, trying straight coffee with almond milk and ice. NOPE! After working through as many online tutorials as I could, I started asking the local coffee shops what they do, and they pointed me to Big Train. After trying some Big Train products with a few tricks of my own, I still wasn’t satisfied. I finally ended up here:

    – 1 to 2 scoops of your favorite chocolate protein powder. This serves to thicken and impart the chocolate flavor.
    – 2 pumps of your favorite sugar free Torani syrup (I like English Toffee and Salted Caramel)
    – 1/4 cup espresso toddy (cold-brewed espresso)
    – 1/4 cup almond milk
    – ice to preference (I like 5 cubes)
    – cacao nibs to preference
    – spinach to preference (tasteless, but does change the mouthfeel—thickens it)

    Blend. I actually pulse the ingredients to combine before adding ice, but either way works.

  28. Angela Akinniyi

    Tomato sauce! I mix a red bell pepper, tomatoes, hibanaro pepper, and an onion for a spicy nigerian tomato sauce!

  29. Susan

    Wow I can only pick one favorite. . .I make daily blended ice coffee drinks, I also make smoothies, protein shakes. But if I have to pick one I think my favorite is the peanut butter/lime/garlic sauce for pasta, sounds weird but it is sooo good, even my daughter that doesn’t like peanut butter (can’t imagine no one liking peanut butter but. . ) loves this sauce that is made in a blender.

  30. sondra

    oh thats easy,my click mocha protien shakes.to change it up alittle i add fresh fruit.hope i win this as i need a new blender

  31. TJ. Carothers

    It’s getting out of the season, but my morning kick in the summer is a Wildberry Redbull. Wildberry Jet Tea, Huckleberry syrup and Redbull. Cool way to start your morning with a bite and a boost!.
    TJ.

  32. Jessica Caudill

    My husband and I love to try to come up with new smoothie recipes for each other- some turn out great, some not so much, but smoothies are still my favorite thing to use the blender for.

  33. Jennifer Moore

    It’s a toss up between my daily Big Train Blended Spiced Chai Tea and of course Margarita’s :) I would LOVE to win a great blender.

  34. Karissa Rogers

    I absolutely LOVE taking unhealthy recipes and making them fat-loss friendly. I’ve lost over 185lbs and blending is my life! My most favorite thing to blend would have to be my veggie smoothies! :)

  35. Krista Nelson

    I am a protein smoothie addict. I recently had WLS and even before then, I loved making all different kinds of healthy smoothies and shakes. I don’t want to get bored, so I just try anything and everything. Currently I have a blender that I am barely getting by with. It has a heck of a time with ice, so I have to crush it first before I put it in my blender. :( Don’t even try to do green smoothies…I learned that the hard way.

  36. Layla

    Oh a blender can make anything! But I like to make a healthy form of ice cream (frozen banana, skim milk, peanut butter, whey protein, and yogurt) :)

  37. Lauren

    I love to mix my base quiche ingredients (cheese, egg, and milk) in my blender before I drop it on top of my crust! It disperses the ingredients wonderfully and makes the perfect base for whatever veggies and meats I toss in on top.

  38. Nina

    I enjoy making homemade enchilada sauce (a recipe my mother gave me). Having a powerful blender helps create a smooth, silky sauce.

  39. Elizabeth

    I love to make hummus in my blender since i don’t have a food processor. My boys love for me to make milk shakes and smoothies. I also love to make sauces for different foods in the blender. :)

  40. Kimberly

    I like to make green smoothies in my blender, although if I get a twister jar, I think it will become this fudge recipe I tried once. I’ve been eyeballing the twister hoping it would make that fudge a lot easier to make. :) As it is, it is too difficult to actually like to make.

  41. Chris

    I love to make smoothies for my kids…and have been finding a lot more things to try as I explore more low carb recipes.

  42. Kelly

    My favorite thing to blend is definitely my mom’s homemade smoothie- super easy blench of yogurt, milk, fresh strawberries and bananas. It brings me right back to my childhood. :) Thanks for the giveaway!

  43. Kim McDowell

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is Green Drinks. I am taking control of my health and this has been one of the best things I have incorporated into my day. My favorite is Pineapple, Apple, Spinach and Carrots blend with filtered water and ice cubes for a great way to start the day.

  44. Janel Baker

    It’s hard to say what my favorite thing to make in a blender is…. so many choices (smoothies, baby food, ice cream…..)! I guess I’d have to say my homemade bbq sauce. My husband goes CRAZY over it! :-D

  45. Sam

    I make smoothies on the reg, but I also like using a blender for soups, sauces and salad dressings. A new blender would be wonderful!

  46. Anele @ Success Along the Weigh

    Oh yay, I’m not too late! I was out of town.

    My favorite thing to make is nutella milkshakes! YUM!

  47. pickmepam

    omg! what don’t we like to make in the blender?
    my kids make their own milkshakes with fresh
    fruit or frozen “fresh” fruit! go for it boys!

  48. Christina

    GREEN SMOOTHIES. My friend and I take turns bringing in green smoothies for breakfast. Kale, Banana, water, flax seed, 2 frozen fruits.

    After a family member of my friend was diagnosed with cancer and a nutritionist recommend green smoothies, to help support my friend I offered to make the smoothies with her and start drinking them. We have been drinking them for almost 3 years now.

  49. Deirdre

    Butternut squash soup with apples and potatoes is my favorite thing to make in a blender. Thanks for the chance to win. XO

  50. Jenny

    Chocolate banana shakes made with bananas, vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and a splash of milk. My kids love them!

  51. Amber

    My favorite thing to blend is a banana + peanut butter smoothie. It’s perfect for a meal on the go and is super yummy as well. It’s best when blended with a fresh banana – – then the flavor really pops in your mouth! YUM! :)

  52. Heather G.

    Milkshakes for sure, but close second because I don’t have a food processor is blending up all those veggies to stick in spaghetti sauce or other things. :)

  53. Michaela

    Smoothies are my favorite thing to make, but for years I’ve been dreaming about all the things I could make with a Blendtec. Sauces, butters, ice cream, soups . . . Oh, someday :)

  54. Sara

    I currently only make smoothies in my blender…but that’s only because it’s awful and doesn’t blend anything else! If I had one of these, I would have so much fun trying new things!!

  55. Colleen Harding

    I would love to win this!!! My favorite thing to make is smoothies in the morning. And my blender just broke so this would be awesome to win! Thanks

  56. Clarice Williams

  57. Heather S

    My favorite is green smoothies with spinach and frozen fruit, greek yogurt, rice milk and flax seed! It’s so good and my kiddos love it too!

  58. Molly

    I would make smoothies and fresh salsa!! Time is fading away for the salsa making, but I have plenty of tomatoes for it, as well as homemade tomato sauce for pasta! So many wonderful things to make!

  59. Jillian

    I would have to say that my favorite thing to blend up would be my daily protein shakes. It would sure be nice not to have to worry about blowing up my blend as I do now. Haha!

  60. Megan

    Favorite thing to make in the blender on a daily basis is green monster shakes for breakfast. On the occasional basis, I love to use the blender for sunrise muffins where you toss a whole orange in the blender with your wet ingredients. So tasty!

  61. Stephanie

    I love making soups, smoothies and salsa in the blender. Makes the process so simple and the cleanup a breeze. Thanks!!

  62. Mary Lea Wolf

    My Favorite thing to whip up in a blender is peanut-butter and banana smoothies…yummy!! (use frozen banana, a scoop of vanilla fat-free yogert, a whopping table-spoon of peanut (or almond) butter, and some orange juice…blend…enjoy…!!

  63. KerryH

    I have two versions of favorites….
    Healthy = Strawberry Bannana Smoothies!
    Sweetness = Reesecup chocolate icecream mix! (YUM!)

  64. Tina

    I would definitely have to say SMOOTHIES! I have been making green smoothies every day for the entire month of October. So far it’s going very well, except my blender sucks! It takes forever to actually blend the frozen fruits and veggies, but I will keep at since I have a goal. This is an awesome giveaway and thank you for hosting.

  65. Heather @ Side of Sneakers

    My fave thing to make in a blender is a smoothie…but that’s because I have a crappy blender. I’d love to make bigger batches of baby food, grind groats, and make nut butter!

  66. Karee

    I love making cancer-fighting smoothies with organic fresh fruits and veggies! Mmm mmm yummy, healthy antioxidants kicking lymphoma’s butt one delicious gulp at a time!

  67. Bonnie T

    What an impressive blender. I can’t believe it can blend footballs and video cameras! I love milkshakes & smoothies (especially on a hot summer day)…those must be a piece of cake for a blender this powerful!

  68. Mandy Cope

    Currently I love experimenting in my blender with fresh purees for my 7 month old.
    It is such a wonderful feeling to provide organic, fresh food and to know what exactly
    is in the foods I feed her(:

  69. Ashley

    Making a yummy fresh smoothie is always a favorite use for my blender, but lately I have enjoyed making my sweet little one homemade baby foods :)

    i love making sauces, soups, and since we are expecting our peanut’s babyfood would be the BEST for us to use and make if we won this blender!

  74. Mindy Sue

    I would love to make soups for the winter months. I heard that this thing is the best for that. Cream of Asparagus would be my favorite for the winter months.

  75. Faith

    Our son is lactose intolerant so it’s fun to make him ‘milk’ shake with almond milk so he can have some normal kid ‘stuff’ too. Sadly, ours broke Sat night while trying to make him one.

  76. Allisan Cade

    Without a doubt, smoothies! I’m not the healthiest person but, I’ve been working on changing my eating habits and smoothies have been a life saver. Quick, easy and
    inexpensive. Tons of different variations to suit your individual needs. Love smoothies!

  86. Lisa

  87. Karen Thompson

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is smoothies! I like to experiment with different ingredients, but the funny thing is, I always seem to go back to my basic favorite – strawberry & bananas. Thanks for the offer!

  88. carole burkhardt

    I love to make smoothies for my kids and myself. Of course, it’s not the only thing we use the blender for but it’s our favorite thing :) Oh my blender came from my mom… it was new in the early 1970s

    I dont have a blender but i could imagine the endless of things i could make in that blender!! shakes, smoothies, dips, and oh so much more! i hope ill win! =D

  93. Anne

    Smoothies! It’s super easy and delicious…and it’s a nice way to get rid of fruits when you have too many in your house and no one wants to eat them! :)

  94. Mary C Civello

    Smoothies of course! I use whatever fruit is on hand, but I always add yogurt and OJ. Make Pesto sauce and dips if family or friends are stopping by.

  95. Kelly

    How cool that is! I would dump a bunch of fruit and chocolate and nuts and make crazy smoothies. my kids love the combos.

  96. sierra Hess

    I love to make salsa in the blender! Way easier than chopping by hand and I love that it is like a restaurant salsa when it comes out!

  97. Sharie

    I know you are probably gonna say, “wha?” But my favorite thing is, Vanilla Milkshakes!! See I told you. Don’t forget to add a pinch of pure vanilla extract. YUM!
    Thanks for sharing.

  98. Beth Phelps

    I make an after-workout smoothie from frozen fruits, plain greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, Hemp Hearts, flax seed, whey protein powder . . . but my current blender drives me nuts! It just doesn’t do the job. I end up doing it in my small food processor. This blender sounds amazing! Would love to win it!

  99. Meg Anderson

    Thanks so much for the chance to win! My favorite thing to make in a blender is Orange Julius! But it would be fun to broaden my horizons! :o)

  100. Amanda Brandeburg

  101. Amy H.

    My favorite thing to blend is definitely Margaritas! All flavors are acceptable in my opinion. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  102. Amy

    I opened the comments intending to put”smoothies, of course” but then I saw margarita listed and changed my mind :)

  103. Ally

    I love making smoothies, and eggs. I know what you are probably thinking…eggs? We blend our eggs and then just put them on a bowl plate and plop them in a microwave. 3 minute eggs? I’d go for it. Smoothies are also fun to make, my favorites are mango smoothies!

    :)

  104. Paula

    Horseradish mustard – is that crazy or what? We love it as does our daughter and many friends.
    I make triple batches at a time – no cooking – just blending – and give much of it away. It takes several minutes on full speed and has worn out a couple of blenders.

  105. Meghan F

    I make a Breakfast smoothie every morning!! It would be great not to have to stick a spoon in there to make sure the frozen fruit is getting blended! I want this blender!

  106. Dorene

    My blender was a gift from my wedding shower 27 years ago. LOL I love to make smoothies and shakes. I can’t imagine the power this blender has, but would love to see it in action.

  107. Ashley h

    I LOVE smoothies in the summer…in the winter, if I had a wonderful machine like teh Blendtec, I would do soups!

  108. Ashley

    My hubby and I love to make smoothies in our blender – but we could definitely use an upgrade to a BlendTec :)

  109. Amanda S

    I most commonly use my blender to make powdered sugar so I can use less refined sugar and make it myself w/o the corn starch added.

  110. Beverly R.

    Fruit Smoothies – that’s how I get my teenage daughter to eat things good for her! Frozen bananas, and then add other fruit – any kind and you will have an amazing treat!

  111. Sher

    Smoothies are a favorite at our house, but we also love whole wheat blender pancakes. Thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome blender!

  112. Carolyn

    I love making green smoothies in a blender. They’re so refreshing and a great way to get some greens in for a snack or breakfast!

  113. lesliem

    Frozen margaritas – 1 can of frozen limeade, 1 can of water, 3/4 can of your favorite tequila, and 1/4 can triple sec and ice. Lots of ice! Garnish with lime and salt if you like.

  114. Kristie

    I love to make spinach breakfast smoothies – 1 banana, a few handfuls of spinach, half a container of greek yogurt, and whatever fruit I have lying around the house (fresh or frozen). It’s not very complicated but SO easy for when I’m running late for class and still want a healthy breakfast.

  115. Kelsi

    Ive lost 100 lbs now after all my chemo steroids & all that ick!!! I would love love love to finally have a blender that did a decent job as I continue on this new life of health & a smoothie or 2 per day (not to mention all the other great recipes people have been so kind to mention on here). A new smoothie recipe I heard on Goodmorning America & am anxious to try is: pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, frozen blueberries, brazil nuts, walnuts, coconut butter, almond butter, unsweetened almond or hemp milk & 1/2 banana. Yummerz!!!! :)

  116. Kim

    Any type of ice cream malt shake using your home-made ice cream recipes and malted powder of course!! Yum-delicious!

  117. Robin M.

    My favorite thing to blend is spicy spinach pesto, then serve with warmed cream cheese and crackers. Yummy!

  118. Sara Ellis

    I love making Pina Coladas in my blender! The perfect fix for a dreary winter day! I’m immediately in Mexico in my head when I have one in my hand! :)

  119. Quinn

    AHHH omg I want! In the summer, I love to blend watermelon, a little lime juice, ice and stevia into a watermelon slushie. SOO good!

  120. Trudy

    My husband and sons are always making peanut butter milkshakes (talk about bogging down–they like alot of peanut butter!) I prefer icy drinks, or just crushed ice, but my blender can’t handle ice. I’d LOVE to have this one–it’d be in constant use!

  121. Kristen

    Ooh, what a fun giveaway! I would have to say my favorite thing to make in a blender is frozen strawberry lemonade. Oh, so good!

  122. Lena

    I love making smoothies – green, blue, pink, orange.. any color as long as it’s cold, yummy and good! :-)

    ~Lena

  123. Corrie

    I only have an immersion blender {which I LOVE!}, but if I had a “real” one, I could imagine that it would be terrific for making things like hummus, homemade peanut butter, and all manner of sauces…no previous chopping required.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  124. Laurie Johnson

    I love making fresh, homemade SALSA for my family every weekend. This blender would be PERFECT for that!

  125. Cyndi

    My favorite??? Too many things come to mind. I use my blender (which it is need of replacement!) for tons of stuff from smoothies to my roasted butternut squash soup! I think my favorite right this minute has to be my Dutch baby batter cause the kids JUST had a blast making it with me! :)

  126. Jenn K.

    I love my green monster smoothies!! They get my day going the right way! Thanks to Blendtec and you for the awesome giveaway!

  127. Lynnae B

    Love my daily fruit smoothie in the AM with fresh strawberries, banana, ice & milk! To make a desert version of it, I swap the milk for diet 7-up…tastes just like my Grandma’s “famous” slushie! If I’m feeling really sinful…chocolate ice cream with peanutbutter for a wicked guilty milkshake.

  128. Mindy

    I have owned the blender that I have now, for more than 11 years. I love making frosty cocktails on the weekends for my hubby and myself.

  129. mic

    I would blend up a bunch of gluten free flours (almond, oatmeal, rice, etc.) Buying them in the store is SO expensive! Then I’d whip up a batch of waffles. MMMMMmmmmm. It’s not the weekend without waffles at least once…twice, three, four or five times is even better!!!!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  130. Raschelle Harper

    My husband and I love making Acai bowls… Super healthy snack during my pregnancy. We buy the Acai packs at Costco and BLEND;) them up with soy milk and a mixture of berries, top with granola, sliced apple bananas and drizzle with honey. Yummy :)

  131. Jen Klosterman

    Smoothies!!!! The next smoothie I am dying to try is a pumpkin smoothie! My current blender is on its last leg. I would die and go to heaven in smoothie bliss if I am chosen!!!!

  132. Kaylee Nelson

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is a smoothie…….especially on a hot summer day! I love the Jamba Juice smoothie packets that you can buy in the frozen food sections! You can have a delicious smoothie in about 1 minute!

    This looks like a wonderful piece of equipment that I’d probably not be able to afford anytime soon. I would love to make hummus or maybe homemade peanut butter. Thank you for the giveaway and the opportunity to participate.

  135. Sara

    I love to do monotheistic, but this summer I started doing marinades and now love doing that! I hope one day to do baby food in it so I don’t have buy all the stuff at the store with the preservatives!!

  136. Trish

    I love to make smoothies and milk shakes…yumm…oh and my tomato sauce. I will try all kinds of things if I win this blender!!

  137. christina @ ovenadventures

    i don’t have a blender right now and all i want to make is frozen hot chocolate. oh how I would love this blender.

  138. Stephanie Brocious

    I love to make green smoothies and hummus! I don’t currently have a blender though, and this would be such a blessing to have in our home!

  139. Pam Kirkbride

    I use my blender to chop up roast beef with onions and whole dill pickles for a very tasty sandwich mixture.

  140. Chris

    Fraparapas:
    – Ice
    – Heresies chocolate syrup
    – Milk
    – Dash of whipping cream
    – Dash of Vanilla Extract
    – Coffee ! (preferably left to cool down after brewing)
    – Vanilla ice cream

    Combine ingredients to taste and then blend. Note: Make sure not to blend too long otherwise the mixture can get foamy.

    Enjoy!

  141. Breanna B.

    I love to make a vegan cheese sauce in my blender (main ingredient= cashews), however, I do love a good strawberry/banana smoothie! Hope I win!!!

  142. jen cims

    Smoothies and milk shakes. I did make a fantastic dip too, however my blender broke. Hope I can get a new one!!!

  143. Christine

    I make a fruit smoothie for my daughter and a spinach smoothie for me every morning. My poor old blender is on its last legs!!

  144. becky w

    I love to make smoothies for my two grandson’s when they stay overnight with us.
    It’s an easy way to make sure they are getting some fruit that day.
    Thanks for the give-away!!

  145. Nandini b

    We use our blender everyday to make morning shakes. It’s an awesome way of taking breakfast on the go. Aside from smoothies, I use it to make mushy peas. :)
    thanks for the opportunity.

  146. Sue

    I will be blending everything as my son is having jaw surgery next Spring so this is great timing for me!! During normal days I blend alot of protein shakes and soups!

  147. Brittany

    I have two protein shakes/smoothies almost every day, so that’s my favorite thing to blend, but recently started making my 5 month old’s baby food in our blender and it is TERRIBLE! Took me an hour to water down sweet potatoes enough to get them pureed.

  148. Billie

    I love making soups. Now that the weather is turning colder, I’m looking forward to all the great soup recipes out there, especially from Kevin and Amanda!

  149. Lisa L

    I love to make smoothies and margaritas! Maybe a better blender would help me successfully hide the spinach I sneak in my kids’ smoothies :) Thank you!

  150. Monica Newman

    Ohhh what a great give away! Thanks Amanda! I’ve been making a TON of Gazpacho lately. Other than that, Smoothies and Slushes! I’ve been known to toss my avocados in there when I’m making a huge batch of Guacamole for a party.

    *crosses fingers!*

  151. Cindy Bettinger

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is a raw veggie smoothie, which is very hard on blenders because of all the fiber.

  152. Sallie

    Lately my favorite thing to make has been a green smoothie – spinach, frozen bananas and strawberries. So yummy!

  153. Kim

    I love to mix homemade salad dressings to get them extra smooth and creamy in my blender. I also love making smoothies.

  154. Melissa

    Smoothies are what I make the most. But my favorite is making raw “Lara-type” bars with dates and nuts – super good!!

  155. Jeanne

    I would LOVE,LOVE,LOVE that blender. It looks fabulous! I use for anything from breaking up whole tomatoes for gravy to smoothies. I have even made hummus in it (Shhhh Don’t tell my inlaws!) I would also love to use it to make food for my newest grandson!

  156. Kay

    I use an Oster blender from 1986 every single day to make nutritional shakes…knock on wood its older than I am and still works great but I wouldn’t mind an upgrade!

  157. amy tangerine

    love making fruit smoothies, with a touch of spinach and other greens. easy to disguise in the tasty mix. thanks for the chance to win!

  158. Amye

    I’ve never owned a blender so I don’t really know what my favorite thing to blend is. But I would assume smoothies. Because mmmmmmmmm.

  159. Denise S

    I’d use this wonderful blender to make nut butter, veggie smoothies and delicious soup! I can only IMAGINE what other wonderful things it could liquify! If I don’t win, I reckon I’ll have to keep using my blender from Walmart. The current smoothies are a tad on the lumpy side.. but I’ll still get all the nutrients! Thank you for hosting such a great site.

  160. Maria F.

    Definitely like to make smoothies with our blender. Would like to do more, but just not enough power in our blender!

  161. Natalie

    Smoothies, soups, milkshakes, & salad dressings! My blender is on its last leg & not very powerful. Thanks for such a great giveaway!!

  162. Amy Tong

    What a wonderful giveaway. My favorite thing to make in a blender is smoothie. Kids’ favorite smoothie, to be exact. :) That involved some frozen bananas, strawberries, yogurts, orange juice, etc. Can’t wait to make some in a Blentec! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

    amy [at] utry [dot] it

  163. Sassy

    I love to do a good roasted salsa or humus, two of my favorites. This would be perfect timing as my current blender is on its very last leg!

  164. Ashley Connor

    I personally love making milkshakes, but also I use the small bullet I have now to make salsa and guac! Amazing for that! I wouldn’t know what to do with a large blender but it would be fun to try! Thanks for the opportunity, Amanda and Blendtec!

  165. Eunice

    Green smoothies! With fresh strawberries, bananas, kale, spinach, greek yogurt, milk, & vanilla protein! SO GOOD!!

  166. Kathleen F.

    That’s easy…..frozen margaritas! It’s the best way to stay cool down here in Texas. What an awesome giveaway this is! Thanks for the chance to win!

  167. Kathy

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is a “boring old smoothie”… yummy but nothing fantastic. I love the possibilities for further adventures in cooking with a high powered blender… using more parts of the fruit/veggie because it is pureed so finely, grinding flour, making nut butters, etc. Thanks for the chance to win one! winterwrens at gmail dot com

  168. Miss M!

    I’d probably use it most often for green smoothies, but my favorite thing to make would be the red sauce for tamales at Christmastime.

  169. Kimberly

    I’m going to be unoriginal and say smoothies…but I love making them with new fruits and vegetables all the time! I’ve even put red cabbage in a smoothie that turned out delicious!

  170. Rebeka

    Hmmm there are so many… smoothies, dips, soups…. I should stop now :) I have one of those weak blenders… would love to win this Blendtec!!!

  171. Chris Thompson

    Ya know, Ranch dressing tastes sooooo good made in a blender! I love to make Hollandiase sauce in the blender!

  172. Christina

    I can’t even tell you how badly I want one of these blenders! I’m a huge green smoothie fan, but I use my hand mixer because I loath blenders. They leak, don’t blend right, and I have to keep shoving my spatula down inside to get them to spin. I know the Blendtecs aren’t anything like what I’ve experienced before. I’ve heard such wonderful things about them!! Crossing my fingers!!

    Oh- and in case you didn’t catch it…. I like to mix smoothies best:)

  173. Kristi Westhead

    My husband and I make smoothies every morning! Half fresh and half frozen with a little acai juice. We also love blending up our canned tomatoes for our homemade sauce!

  174. Anne

    My favorite thing to blend has definitely got to be ice-cream, especially the frozen banana/mixed fruit combo for a refreshing breakfast treat!!!

  175. Dana

    Definitely smoothies. We always keep bags of frozen fruit in the freezer. Thanks for allowing us to enter such an awesome giveaway.

  176. RoBiN

    Smoothies for sure! My younger kids aren’t great veggie eaters and I can get a good dose of veggies in this way. Not to mention almond milk, peanut butter, fruit, etc!

  177. Patricia Williams

    It would be smoothies. Its the one way I can get some fruits into my picky eater without a fight.

  178. Rebecca

    I love making whole wheat pancakes for my kids. Blending the whole wheat with the ingredients, I cant imagine how smooth this blender could get the wheat. Im excited for a chance….. Thanks!!

  179. Amy C.

    My favorite thing to make in the blender are protein smoothies. I don’t have a blender that is strong enough to make nut butters, but that might be my new favorite thing to make if I had an awesome Blendtec blender!!!! :D

  180. Blanca

    I have to say smoothies and frozen banana ‘ice cream.’ My kids and I love to experiment using different fruit and vegetable combinations!

  181. Mary

    I enjoy making delicious, healthy smoothies for my family. I wouldn’t mind making some hummus and other yummy things in that wonderful blender :)

  182. Kim

    My FAVORITE thing to make is a mint chocolate milkshake, but we are quickly becoming to love a breakfast shake made with fresh fruits!

  183. Jill

    son #1: home-made version of mocha frappuccino
    son #2: yogurt smoothie
    mom: soups
    dad: pancake & waffle batter

  184. Pamela Merritt

    First and foremost – a fruity frozen sippy sippy and second runner up would be a thick and creamy milkshake.

  185. Jan

    I usually make at least one or two dips during the holidays but my blender is dying. I’ve wanted a new blender so I could make different peanut butters and also different kinds of flours,etc. The possibilities are endless!

  186. Jes Thompson

    Smoothies!!! I cant get enough of them. My kids love them too and it is a great way to sneak in fruits and veggies!!

  187. Amber G

    Yep, my husband and I make smoothies constantly with our crappy blender… we go through a lot of crappy blenders actually.

  188. Deb J

    Definitely smoothies! Love the watermelon smoothies in the summer. Oh wait, maybe the salted caramel smoothies I’m making now. Or maybe the green machine that I want to try.

  189. Emily

    Delicious and nutritious acai bowls. The whole family loves them, but making them in our current blender is no easy task. Both kids cover their ears because it’s so loud and my 2 year old son thinks they are ready every time I have to open the top to re-mix the fruit. He is constantly disappointed that he has to wait a few more minutes for his treat. When the blender briefly started smoking a few days ago, I thought my husband would toss it out. The blender is still around and we use it almost everyday, but a Blendtec would certainly make everyone happy.

  190. Tiffani

    Well, seeing as how my blender can’t handle anything more than an inch deep, I don’t know what my favorite thing is, but I can’t wait to find out! :)

  191. Kristy McCoy

    I don’t have a good blender, so I don’t make much in the blender. My favorite thing to make in a blender is a good fruit smoothie. Yum!

  192. Jenn@eatcakefordinner

    I have a homemade alfredo sauce that is made in the blender that is my favorite! Or I have an awesome salsa recipe.

  193. kristina

    Banana-Peanut Butter “Ice Cream”-making this killed my last wimpy blender! Thanks for a chance to upgrade :-)

  194. Tammie Mueller

    I am seeking a new healthy lifestyle and this blender would be my first step to healthy eating, weight loss, lowering my high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

  195. Carla @ Carlas Confections

    I was going to say smoothies, but then I saw someone say margaritas and that just reminded me that I sure do love those too!!!

  196. Laurel

    My favorite things to make in blenders are milkshakes and smoothies :) What else can you make in a blender??

  197. Danielle D.

    I’m a serious distance runner so there is some definite protein shake action happening at my house on a regular basis. My blender is about to give up the ghost so I would love to win this!

  198. Kim Hogan

    My favorite thing to make in a blender…. That is hard, in the summer I love to make cold frosty drinks, my daughter loves to make fruit smoothies, I also use blenders to make my soups and sauces. This would be an awesome blender to aid in making wonderfu and delicios meals for my family. I’m actually in the market for a new one, as mine just broke. Thanks to K & A along with BlendTec for having such an awesome giveaway.

    Blessings,
    Kimmie <3

  199. Tami

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is our family’s morning “Hulk”. We throw everything in our blender….spinach, carrots, kale, fruit, wheat germ, protein, yogurt and water/juice. Our kids starting calling it the HULK when they were young bc of the color, but now it has become a staple for all of us on our way out the door. :) What fun and a bit of healthiness right from the start of our day!!!!!

  200. Shannon

    As a new diabetic I am missing being able to have milkshakes and ice cream that don’t have a funny aftertaste from artificial sweeteners. I have found that greek yogurt smoothies help with the cravings.

  201. anno

    I love blending steamed vegies, of any kind, and adding to soup stock. Just add some chicken or beef, shredded kale, and potatoes or rice. YUM!!!! Don’t forget the garlic!
    Thanks for the chance to own this awsome machine.

  202. Lacey

    Smoothies…for sure! But I wouldn’t mind being to blend just about anything!! :) thank you for the chance. I’m hoping!

  203. Elisabeth T.

    My favorite things to make in my blender are salsa, green smoothie n milk shakes!!! couldn’t narrow it to just one lol.

  204. Melodi Flynn

    I LOVE to blend soups, sauces, salsa, smoothies, deserts, and in the near future…. baby food for our baby that’s due any minute now. Can’t wait!!

  205. Suzanne

    My favorite thing to come out of a blender is a malted shake…..and a frozen margarita comes in a close second! lol!

  206. Donna G

    I got my current blender with the intention of making smoothies. Plain and simple. But then I saw some pots de creme being made in a blender, and I am wondering…

  207. Laura

    Oh the possibilities….I’d probably say smoothies would be my favorite thing to make in a blender. But it sounds like skies the limit with this Blendtec Blender!

  208. Danielle

    My absolute favorite way to use a blender is to make protein shakes after the gym! 1 frozen banana, 1 scoop of protein powder, and 1 cup of almond breeze milk. It’s such a delicious, cold treat that’s perfect after a strenuous workout. A blender is an essential kitchen tool!

  209. Holly

    I make my coffee frappuccino’s at home in the blender. Also, I love to make quick batters (like pancake batter) in the blender.

  210. Amy L

    Our favorite thing to make in a blender is smoothies!!!! My two boys and I have them almost every day. I would LOVE to win this blender, because our Oster blender isn’t going to last us too much longer :)

  211. Betsy B.

    Hmmmm …. that would be a toss-up between milkshakes and smoothies! Yummy!!!! But gosh, I’m reading about people making soups, and that sounds delish, too!!! I don’t have a real blender though ~ I just have a Magic Bullet ~ so I can’t do anything too big, and I’m not sure I could do soup in that. But hey, maybe I’ll win this one and I’ll be able to try out lots of recipes!! ;o)

  212. kristin

    smoothies! for breakfast, for dinner, for a post-workout snack. We add spinach, flaxseed, celery, all sorts of stuff to make it taste good and healthy!

  213. Laura D

    I love using my blender to make my batter for my banana bread – it evenly distributes all ingredients, so when you bite into a piece you don’t get a surprise mouthfull of banana, or crisco!

  214. Patty

    Green smoothies for my grandkids, they love to put the spinach in and watch it turn green!
    As for me fruity drinks!!

  215. Nancy Shewell

    Gosh, this is a hard one to make a choice of a favorite! I’d have to say it’s a toss-up between yogurt smoothies with LOTS of fruit, or one of my favorite frozen drinks, either margarita or pina collada! And my blender is on the blitz! :(

  216. Erin

    I love making tofu almond smoothies in my blender! 1/3 of a block of tofu, 1 cup vanilla almond milk, 25 almonds, and some chocolate sauce. What a great breakfast!

  217. sue anderson

    I love fresh fruit smoothies in the warmer weather.

    Pumpkin, Chocolate, Coffee smoothies in the colder weather.

    ♥♥♥
    Sue

  218. Erin B.

    There are too many things to choose my favorite! I make a lot of pesto in my blender, but my sons love it when I make smoothies!

  219. Cheryl

    I have a juicer, so I juice a lot. I would love the option to make a smoothie and soups or homemade peanut butter. But my juicer can only juice…

  220. Monica Masters

    My favorite things to make in the blender are protein shakes! I also want to try making a recipe I saw demonstrated at Costco when they were selling these amazing blenders! I would love, love, love to win this amazing giveaway!
    Aloha!

  221. Missy K.

    Oh wow! Would LOVE this! I use my blender “that shall not be named” for smoothies, marinades, and pureed baby foods! Would love something that works super well…no chunks in my baby food!

  222. Katie

    It’s a toss-up…. either milkshakes or strawberry margaritas! Both are SO yummy! I’m certainly not above trying a football, though… :P

  223. Nicole G

    Definitely green smoothies! Although depending on the grapes & blueberries sometimes they are very nice purple smoothies. Thx for the change – great giveaway!

  224. Jackie F.

    I Love to make malts, but if I had an awesome blender like this that would change really fast! I could do so much more then!

  225. Kristi

    First choice is margaritas! Second choice is salsa – kids don’t like ‘chunks’ of onion and hubby doesn’t like ‘chunks’ of tomatoes… so I blend them and no one complains!!! LOL

  226. Daniel McPheeters

    My family and another family are doing once a week cooking. We hope to get to once every two weeks cooking. We would use the blender to make sauces, soups, pesto, hummus, ect. I could go on and on. Plus we plan to blog and share recipes and successes with the world.

  227. Autumn Wallace

    I love to purée ! So this includes homemade pumpkin soup,roasted veggie pizza sauce! Endless opportunities !!

  228. Andee

    Hands down my favorite thing to blend is Dirty Monkeys. Yumm Dirty Monkeys. Chocolate, bananas, ice and what ever liquor is in the cabinet. Oh and a little cherry juice :)

  229. Jennifer

    Smoothies, of course! I’ve always wanted to try soup, too, but my poor little blender can’t handle it. :)

  230. Jessica

    What a great giveaway! I have a cheap blender that always makes me want to cuss! My favorite thing to make is green smoothies.

  231. Deborah

    We make lots of smoothies around our house – my two-year old son won’t eat fruits or vegetables any other way unfortunately. Great giveaway!

  232. Jason Boehlke

    My favorite thing to blend is my morning green smoothie. One banana, half a cucumber, half an avocado, hanful frozen spinach, dash of cinnamin and 12 – 14 oz vanilla almond or coconut milk.

  233. Becky

    My favorite thing to make is Orange Julius drink. YUMMMMMMM so tasty.

  234. Maureen

    Smoothies and milkshakes, though the poor blender does many mundane tasks that my deceased food processor once did!

  235. Joy

    Most definitely smoothies, but I also like to make peanut butter! Having that Blendtec twister jar would make that even easier!

  236. BarbB

    That would be margaritas. But I supposed I could use it for other, non alcoholic things ;) I do like to use the blender for smoothies and baby food, too.

  237. Shana

    My favorite thing to make in a blender would have to be milkshakes! Me and my children love to incorperate all kinds of goodies, like oreos, reeses, m&m’s etc. Also durring the summer we like to make frozen lemonades adding rasberries, bluberries, and other delicious ripened fruit!=)

  238. eliza jane

    i would definitely make some delish malts! vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, milk and malted milk! sounds so good rite now! (;

  239. Stacey S

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is salsa. Follow that up with a margarita….heaven.

    Thank you for the opportunity!

  240. Becca Dowling

    Soups, smoothies & anything else I can “cook” up. Lost my blender in a move & miss my morning protein shakes.

  241. Dalia

    I love to make shakes! But I also use it to make spic mixes for cooking. Thank you for hosting this fun giveaway!

  242. Sav O'G

    What a fabulous giveaway! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE making strawberry banana smoothies in the blender!

    THANKS for the chance to win:) sbmmhoover at yahoo dot com

  243. shelly (cookies and cups)

    I want this blender so bad! I think I have entered every single giveaway that has been held the past month!! I love to make salsa in my blender :)

  244. CindyML

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is Smoothies!! Love to add fresh fruit I have then some frozen in lieu of ice cubes and blend away. THanks for the chance to win. CindyML

  245. Jill W

    Favorite thing to make is smoothies, but with this blender…who knows all the new favorite things I could be making!

  246. paula.thequilter

    I have never had a food processor and have used my blender (it’s an old Osterizer) for everything chopped, frapped, ground, blended, pureed — everything! I make bread crumbs, chopped ice for daiquiris, pureed tomatoes for smooth marinara sauce and, most recently, pureed the cooked down apples for apple butter. I am wearing my old blender out so I could really use this! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.

  247. Lori H

    My favorite is green smoothies, but I’d love to have a more powerful blender (than the one I currently own) so that I can try more recipes!!

  248. Michelle s

    My favorite thing to make in a blender in no doubt the almighty smoothie! Strawberries, bananas, and spinach. The breakfast (and snack) of champions!

  249. KIMBER

    I make a smoothie every morning, and I use Kale. If I don’t blend the HECK out of it, it’s chunky. Not my favorite!
    I also like to puree steamed cauliflower and make mashed fauxtatoes. Ha!

  250. David

    I never use a blender, in fact I try to stay out of the kitchen. But my daughter wants one of these; she’s always concocting smoothies.

  251. Stacy

    My favorite thing to make in a blender would be smoothies!! Every once in a while, a good daquiri or pina colada too!! ;)

  252. Michelle

    I love pouring homemade soup in the blender. One of my favorites is a creamy pea soup with fresh sauteed mushrooms. I saute up some fresh peas with chicken stock and some other flavorings, and puree it all in the blender. Then add freshly sauteed mushrooms to stir in at the end!

  253. Pam

    When I’m really really bad…a jug of margarita’s and while I’m sipping my margarita I’ll whip up a batch of whole wheat spinach pasta drizzled with oven roasted tomato sauce finishing with a couple of quinoa ginger cookies and a Chinese chill for dessert!!!

  254. Leslie C

    I like making hummus in the blender. It always comes out smooth and tastes so much better than what you can buy in the store!

  255. Lori

    Our family loves chocolate and Strawberry shakes (not together) but Wow! what a great dessert! Thanks for the giveaway

  256. Barbara P.

    I love making smoothies in my blender….but…would love to be able to make my own almond butter and my current blender just doesn’t cut it!

  257. Kathee kiefer

    wow, that is a toss up between smoothies in the summer and fresh blended soups in the winter. Love them both.

  258. Sonya

    I make a smoothie almost every morning. My stupid Magic Bullet just broke a few weeks back. I know this blender out of the water!

  259. Sara Burns

    I love to blend fruit icees! Frozen fruit, ice cubes, milk, and fresh fruit. Drink it fast before the frozen ingredients have a chance to melt!

  260. Angela

    Oh I would love to win this!!! I need a new blender badly!!! I love to make fruit and veggie smoothies!! I also like to make soup!!

  261. Annmarie

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is PESTO!!! We have a garden in which we grow basil. I love to grind it up with walnuts and garlic!

  262. Candice S. in Colorado

    Hands down ANY KIND OF SMOOTHIE! IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT KIND. Just some amazing fruit, frozen yogurt, fresh juice and lots of ice. YUMMMMMMMY! You have no idea how awesome this would be for me and my family! I have been kinda frustrated because I am kinda limited to what I can eat right now, and smoothies are such a great go-to snack, and sometimes (for me) even as a meal! However, every blender I have had is BROKEN and in the trash. Just as you said….nothing stacks up to this awesome machine! I want one so badly! I have my fingers crossed!

    Thank you so much for this awesome chance! Best.Giveaway.Ever!

  263. Kate

    My favorite thing to make is my healthy spinach smoothies!

    My favorite combo is banana+blueberries+spinach+ice+vanilla greek yogurt+almond milk…. YUM

  264. Candace Maddren

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is not unique but it IS an after workout protein shake with milk, berries, bananas, yogurt, protein powder and ice! Yum!! Replenish those nutrients!

  265. Ciara

    My favorite things to blend are smoothies. I know that is boring and not very exciting, but is it the total truth! :)

  266. Leslie

    Ground eggshells to provide the calcium supplement for my wonderful dogs, William the Boxer and Pippa the rescue Boston Terrier!

  267. Taylor

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is smoothies!!! I love a good strawberry banana… and blueberry peach! yum! :)

  268. Chris Taylor

    Frozen margaritas and fruit smoothies. I would love to win this and chuck out our smoothie blender that is about as QUIET as a (sarcasm->) jet engine!

  269. Diane C.

    First thing I would like to make with this blender? Oh, a green smoothie! My current blender doesn’t really do the “smooth” part!

  270. Carol

    Frozen banana “ice cream” would be the first thing I would make. I have a magic bullet, but it doesn’t have the power to get the job done. I would love to have this especially at the onset of soup season.

  271. Sarah

    Love to make protein shakes and then again I like to make milkshakes too – it’s an easy way to make soups and sauces too.

  272. Laura

    I like making odd things in the blender. Like applesauce and guacamole. But you can’t beat a good chocolate milkshake.

  273. Jennifer

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is yummy smooties…but my son’s favorite thing for me to make is chocolate shakes for him!

  274. Pamela L

    I have so many things I “would” make…I have not had a blender in so long, I don’t even know what my favorite would be…tomato soup.

  275. Amanda Kughn

    It is a toss up between chocolate milkshakes and jalapeno ranch….but if I had to choose I would say choc shakes. Guilty Pleasures!

  276. Kaitlan Allen

    We love to make smoothies at our house, and were trying our hand at green smoothies until my husband broke our blender! I would also love to try pasta and make my own baby food. We would love this! :)

  277. Robyn

    Wow, what a giveaway!

    I love to make ice-cream. I mix up a few ingredients in the blender or food processor, let it freeze and enjoy.

  278. Sara F.

    My favorite thing to make is a White Russian milkshake. But to be completely honest, *I* don’t make the best one…my husband does! :)

  279. Laura L

    Well, I know what my blender gets used the most for – milkshakes and rootbeer freezes! This fall it got a lot of use for squash soup too ;)

  280. Wanda Cullen

    This is pumpkin season and impossible pumpkin pie is one easy thing to fix in the blender! Throw in all the ingredients and pour into a pie plate and bake…easy peasy!

  281. AnaBel

    Piña coladas for me and margaritas for the hubby! And the kids love their nonalcoholic pina coladas, too. Problem is, our cheap little blender can’t crush the ice very well :-(

    Thanks Amanda!

  282. Toni C

    My favorites change with the seasons. Since cooler weather is settling in on the East Coast now it is definitely soup, soup and more soup!

  283. Laura Clark

    My favorite thing to blend is frozen bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate milk. Tastes just like a milkshake!

  284. Dawn

    We make smoothies! At the end of the day when I realize “hey, I didn’t have any fruit today!”, I throw in some mixed berries and strawberries (pre-thawed) and drink my fruit.

  285. Mona

    Lately I’ve been making Kimberly Snyder’s Glowing green smoothie. The other day my daughter said the blender sounded crazy. I told her that’s just my frozen bananas & spinach swirling around.

  286. Amy Chambers

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is a cocktail we made up last summer – frozen pink lemonade concentrate and Pinnacle Whipped Cream vodka. We call it a Fleur de Lis – it’s really tasty!!! And perfect for hot summer days at the lake!

    I’ve seen some great soup recipes that I want to try in the blender if it ever gets chilly in Texas!!

  287. Sharon Peterson

    Every single morning my husband makes smoothies for us. 2 bananas, I 6-8 oz. yogurt, 1 cup OJ, and 1 cup frozen berry mix. They are the best.

  288. Charlene

    Smoothies. I would love to win this blender. My current blender really doesn’t like the frozen strawberries. Thanks for the chance to win!!

  289. Leslie W.

    Nothings better in a blender than a delicious retro cocktail like a Grasshopper or a Brandy Alexander! Oooooh yum!

  290. Amanda C.

    Of course I love make my daily smoothie in my blender that was passed down from my mother, which means it is ancient! Thanks for the opportunity to win a new blender and thanks for the info!!

  291. Nikki D

    I love to make Mocha frappes (ice cream milk shakes) with Oreos in them for myself and my 3 children. We actually recently broke my Cuisinart blender doing just that :(

  292. deanna

    It’s a toss-up….green smoothies and homemade peanut butter!
    My 3-year old LOVES green smoothies and you can pack a LOT of spinach in a smoothie!
    My dad was deathly allergic to peanuts, so growing up, we didn’t have peanut butter or peanuts in the house. Yes. I grew up never having had a PB & J!! As an adult, I prefer the taste of homemade peanut butter, so I make it in a blender. (We don’t have a Whole Foods…or anything like it in my small town where I can go blend it there.) I would LOVE to WIN this Blend-Tec to make the job easier!! What an awesome giveaway!!

  293. Jenny

    Awesome giveaway! Smoothies are my favorite things to make! I always add kale, spinach or other greens to make it healthier. =)

  294. Elizabeth

    Without a doubt- smoothies! We love them around here, and sometimes we make extra to freeze into Popsicles :)

  295. Niki

    My favorite thing to make is a peanut butter (and a little bit of chocolate) milk shake. However, I typically make only smoothies in mine. Also use it to blend a portion of my black bean soup to make it creamier. Yum.

  296. Sand

    Inma, thanks for the recipe for gazpacho. It’s just about my favorite soup but the blender I have now is old and slow (like me) and doesn’t do a very good job. A new blender would be wonderful!

  297. Sarah

    Milkshakes are a huge favorite around here but we still end up with big chunks of ice cream not mixed in due to the poor quality of my 12-year old blender.

  298. Kristin S

    Oh, please random number generator, pick me!!! I so want one of these and it is way out of my budget.

    What’s your favorite thing to make in a blender? Green smoothies though I really want to make nut butters but that would send my blender to the graveyard.

  299. Susan

    It would be milk shakes and smoothies for us. Maybe a pina colada for the adults! I have a freezer full of berries ready for smoothies over the winter this would make them more time friendly to make! Thanks for the giveaway. LOVE your pictures!

  300. Megan Whetton

    I made absolutely everything in my blender before it broke! My favorite thing to make though was Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana, and Coconut Shakes. Delish!

  301. Anna Jenkins

    What’s my favorite thing to make in my blender? STRAWBERRY PROTEIN SMOOTHIE!

    I would love to win!!! Thanks for the chance :o

  302. sandyb

    Dressings and smoothies – thank you for the chance to win this amazing blender.

    Thank you

    sandyb720 at gmail dot com

  303. andrea

    What an amazing spinach smoothie I could make in this Blendtec! Seriously my favorite thing to make in a blender – I crave them every morning!

  304. Tori

    You name it, I’ll make it! Smoothies, margaritas, pina colodas, salsa, soup…and my blender just died a few weeks ago!!!

  305. Christine

    Oh man my mom had a Blentec but couldn’t justify the price tag because they didn’t use it that often. My fav things were smoothies, pesto and veggies!

  306. Wendy Clasen

    My husband and I make smoothies every single day! Such a great way to stay healthy. I would love to make them in a Blendtec!

  307. Nicholas

    I just retired and am enjoying a new intimacy with the kitchen. This blender
    would really enhance my budding culinary skills. So far, I use the one we got
    as a wedding present 38 years ago and make banana banshees.

  308. Heather

    We love smoothies for breakfast at our house and I’ve been looking for a new blender!! This would be fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing!

  309. Lisa

    I enjoy making blender drinks in my blender for my hubby and I, but soon I’ll also be using it to make baby food for my little one.

  310. Joyce S

    This would be wonderful for a variety of things. I like making shakes (especially lemon),
    mixing up my homemade ice cream and then putting it in the freezer to set, mixing
    pie filling ingredients, eggs for omelets or nice, fluffly scrambled. This would need to
    sit out on my countertop all the time. I’d be so proud!

  311. Sarah K.

    It would have to be a toss up between smoothies and soup! After just moving to Arizona I’m making a lot more smoothies than soup though!:)

  312. Christina Roth

    My favorite things to blend are salsas/sauces. I use it religiously to make hollandaise and salsa verde….but not together!

  313. Elly

    I’m definitely going with the trend and saying smoothies! Our favorite kinds of smoothies to make are peanut butter banana and creamy coconut coffee smoothies! I’m also trying to start making one “green” smoothie a day…trying to work in some vegetables! :-) …quick story…haven’t made a smoothie in a while because the last time i did, i took the last big gulp, was in the middle of swallowing, and felt something scratch the back of my throat…guess what it was?!? MY BLENDER BLADE! It broke off and I just about swallowed it! Whoa!

  314. Vicki mc

    Currently my favorite thing to make is smoothies, this time next year though, I’ll be using it for baby food!

  315. Anne Harter

    Of course I love to whirl ripe fruit and any liquid, but I like most to whip up shredded paper and other crafty things.

  316. Dana DeLorenzo

    My favorite things to make in a blender are: Chocolate Strawberry Shakes OR Margaritas—depending on the mood!

  317. Kathy

    We like to blend funky smoothies and garlicky hummus, but now we’ll blend more thanks to the suggestions that people have made in the comments!

  318. Tatton H

    My wife makes some pretty rockin’ hummus. And that’s with a crappy blender that stinks (no literally, it smells). Here’s hoping I could make that process easier. (And get more hummus in the process).

  319. Maria Malaveci

    It would be hard for me to answer what my favorite thing to make in a Blender is as I have never ever owned a beautiful, amazing, spectacular blender as the “Blendtec” nor any blender at that. But, if I did have this beautiful blender, the very first thing that I would make is “HUMMUS” because hummus is just a wonderful thing.

    mmalavec(at)med(dot)umich(dot)edu

  320. Leslie

    Love a good protein shake w banana and other fruit. I want to try making soups and more creative things ifI win. Thanks Amenda.

  321. Connie Lynn

    I just made cookies and had to grind oatmeal to make oat flour. That is what I would do and of course make “green monster” smoothies! I would adore it everyday if I won!

  322. MaryAnn Watkins

    The favorite thing for me to make in the Blendex is making soup. It is hot and is so filling this time of year. Love my vegetable soups. Love Blendex Blender.

  323. Kathi

    My kids love smoothies, but I’m a texture freak and can’t handle most smoothies. So, for me, I LOVE to make soups or sauces in the blender. Oh, or an Orange Julius. I can TOTALLY handle those.

  324. Kirstyn

    My favorite thing to make in a blender is a smoothie! I love making the green monster smoothies with a lot of spinach, fruits, chia and flax seeds, agave nectar, and some low-fat yogurt. It makes a great breakfast!

  325. Kristi

    Peach Bellini’s…so easy to make too. Frozen peaches (or peach puree), sugar, peach schnapps, and asti or prosecco.

  326. Isla

    I love to make my protein shake every day, but I have to use a handheld mixer. I would LOVE to try it in a Blendtec

  327. Leanne

    I wish I could say a fruity beverage, but these days it’s all about the baby food! What a fantastic giveaway!

  328. crystal d.

    Right now my favorite thing to make in a blender is a smoothie. But that answer can change week to week. Salsa is another favorite. :)

  329. Kelli

    I love to make drinks. Whether it be a strawberry mango margarita or a smoothie – that is my favorite so far!
    I’m eager to learn to make more!
    Thanks so much!

  330. Jennifer Osborne

    We make homemade fruit smoothies for snacks several times a month. My 12 y.o. loves to experiment with flavor combinations.

  331. Marett

    Homemade pestos and pasta sauces!! Having a bail plant growing on my kitchen window sill always inspires me to whip up a quick and healthy pasta topping. I especially love pesto on paninis.

  332. kristin t

    Oh – I don’t know! After watching some of those Will it Blend videos, I’d have to say that my favorite thing to blend is the iPad! ;-)
    Close second – pumpkin pie. I use my blender to make the filling – it whips it up nice and fluffy and makes a great pie. I’ll bet the Blendtec would do it better! :)

  333. Liz carpenter

    My favorite thing to make would have to be mother-in-law’s salsa! She has the best recipe out there.

  334. Doris

    Maybe not MY favorite but my most frequent thing to make is a chocolate shake for my husband – and immediately after making him a delicious dinner. Just trying to keep the weight on him! He works so hard so when he asks I always make what he wants.

  335. Kelly Logan

    Protein shakes and smoothies! I am having surgery in November so I have to have 1-2 protein shakes a day for my nutrition.

  336. Jenn T.

    Oh, this is an easy answer: Kale-Orange Smoothies are my favorite thing to blend! I do a great mixture of Kale, Orange, just one or two Strawberries, Almond Milk, Chia Seeds and I usually throw in a bit of Splenda, too. MMMMM!

  337. judy

    I love to make my version of a salad dressing similar to the kind they serve at Japanese restaurants such as Benihana.

  338. Carrie N

    My favorite things used to be peanut butter banana smoothies and salsa but since I learned how to make hollandaise sauce in a blender that’s my favorite thing ever. My life has changed.

  339. Laurie Ann Phinney

    My favorite thing to make in my blender is homemade nut butters, particularly almond and sunflower. Now, ask my blender if these are its favorite things to make – Absolutely NOT! Smiles…
    Thank you for the opportunity to win a blender that will be delighted to whip up my nut butters!
    Sincerely,
    Laurie

  340. Rebecca

    Right now I am making lots of smoothies (Digest Diet!), but usually I love to make lots of soup (butternut squash and black bean are my favorites!). Yum!

  341. Nicki

    I love making fresh fruit smoothies or one of my favorites is a low cal recipe with ice, 3 reduced fat oreos, some skim milk and 2 TBSP of vanilla pudding mix….DELISH and serves as my sweet fix at night!

  342. Teresa

    Fresh fruit smoothies!! My morning go to for getting the day started! And of course anything CHOCOLATE – for when i am feeling like a treat! Thanks for sharing!

  343. Steffi

    A Middle Eastern drink called “Laban”…it is yogurt blended with salt and sometimes mint and it is just fantastic.

  344. Melody

    We go through a lot of blenders at this house! Icy-anything gets us through the hot summers here. My personal favorite is blended canned peaches, frozen then re-blended with some white wine… Now THAT’S my kind of “smoothie”!!!!!

  345. KarlaJ

    Cream of broccoli soup and veggie juice! This blender looks a lot nicer than my tired 30 year old wizzer. Thanks Kevin and Amanda!

  346. Kristina

    Tossup between hummus (which my current blender can’t do) and milkshakes (which my current blender is really bad at).

  347. Sara

    Smoothies….I can add lots of healthy stuff: flax, oats, protein, spinach, etc., and my kids don’t have a clue. I have one of those above mentioned blenders that freeze up….so frustrating! Thanks for the chance.

  348. Nikki

    I love to make smoothies, always use a frozen banana instead of ice and add chia seeds for fiber and omega-3s!

  349. Peggy Does Cake

    I use my blender mostly for salad dressings that need to be emulsified. I live in the South, so a popular one here is “come back” dressing. Yummy!

  350. Janet

    Wow – I can’t tell you how many blenders I have gone through. Looks like this one is a toughie and would last a lifetime. I love frozen drinks and soup blends. Thanks as always for thinking of your fans.

  351. AmyS

    We love to make good old fashioned milkshakes for movie night. We haven’t been able to recently because our old blender broke during our move and we’ve not got it in our budget to get a new one yet. Hamburgers, tater tots and milkshakes with a movie every Friday night – it’s our family tradition and hopefully it will be one that we can get back to real soon.

  352. alyssa manno

    I must win this blender! I’m feeling lucky!! I’m so tired of trying to make smoothies for my family only to have them turn out lumpy and gross. With this power house of a blender I would make thee yummiest and healthiest smoothies for my family!!! PICK ME!!

  353. Loralei

    The “correct” answer is smoothies. However, I’m on a serious chocolate milkshake kick right now that must be made with the cheapest ice cream around. Oh great… now I want one!

  354. Debra

    Soups and smoothies!! I am in desperate need of a new blender so your giveaway is perfect and I’m feeling lucky!!

  355. Tiffani

    Hands down…smoothies because there are SOO many options. My 3-yr old & I start with some green smoothie every morning. Since the smoothies are always delicious, he has no problem eating spinach, kale, broccoli, avacado, and a plethora of other stuff when it’s not in smoothie form. Win-win…good start of the day for us and non-picky 3 year old eater liking a much wider variety of foods than most kids or adults.

  356. Kelli

    Smoothies or protein shakes to enjoy with my son in the mornings. I like to share breakfast with him knowing I’m getting both of us going with a healthy breakfast. ;)

  357. Bryndee Slade

    I make a green smoothie every morning to get my fruits and veggies in and give me energy for the day. This would be a dream come true!!!

  358. Sarah S

    Smoothies, malts, shakes, salsa…that’s about all I can make with my current blender! I’m sure my options will be limitless with a fantastic blendtec!

  359. Z Fam

    The kids and I like making smoothies or fruity drinks with Tofu! My kids do not enjoy eating meat and don’t really like the taste; so, adding tofu to things like fun kid made smoothies gives them some extra protein! Plus, they like eating what they make, and I get to see their little excited faces! Love it! I hope I win because my blender stinks!

  360. Jennifer

    I’m with everyone else – there is nothing better than a fresh fruit well blended smoothie – especially if made into a cocktail

  361. Denise N

    My favorite thing to make with a blender is Margaritas!!! Love ’em – even the non-alcoholic ones…however, I did start making smoothies and they are awesome and the kids love ’em!

  362. Sommar

    I would use this to make my smoothies and protein shakes in the morning. I also would use it to entertain during the holidays!!! :-)

  363. Elena Brown Finelli

    Smoothies! Actually my favorite thing to make in a blender is milkshakes but I’m trying to be healthier!

  364. Heather

    I definitely need one of these! I’ve been on a green smoothie kick, but there are always pieces of spinach that don’t get ground up.

  365. Tina Rhodes

    Milkshakes!!! Everynight my son wants a milkshake and this would be amazing! Right now I just use a magic bullet and it is really slowing down:)

  366. mary deramo

    Hi, I don’t make anything in a blender because I don’t have one! But if I did…..I would chop up nuts instead of using a baggie and a hammer…lol!

  367. Kim

    I love making smoothies. But since its the fall, I am looking forward to puréeing roasted butternut squash to make soup!

  368. Ash V

    Definitely a smoothie! I make one every single morning for breakfast with strawberries, banana, and PB for some protein!

  369. Martha S.

    My favorite thing to make in my blend is smoothies. What am awesome giveaway! I’ve not heard of these before!

  370. Paige Shannon

    Fruit Smoothies for the kids and pina colada’s for me and my friends!!!! I am sure anything would taste better in this blender.

  371. Audra

    Homemade butternut squash soup! I love the creamy texture and the comfy cozy feeling you get when you eat it!

  372. Jane

    OK, we’re boring. We mostly use our blender for making smoothies. We have a juicer, but my husband likes to have the fiber from the fruits and vegetables in his juice/smoothie, so we use the blender.

  373. Juliette

    I love smoothies and milkshakes. I would LOVE to win this!! I like my stuff really smooth and my current blender really stinks at that and i’m not willing to spend that kind of cash on that sweet blender. FYI, new to your site and I LOVE Snowshoe!! So excited that you’ve been there. Its really neat in the summer too.

  374. Lori

    I have a rockin’ chai tea latte recipe that needs blending (dry ingredients) to make them silky smooth so they dissolve well in hot water. I’d love to win this blender!!

  375. Diane

    I know it’s not original, but margaritas! What can I say. Mine are way better than the over priced versions you get at your favorite Mexican restaurant. No telling what I would make if I had a blender that will blend almost anything!

  376. Tanya

    My favorite thing to make in a blender would have to be my mom’s poblano sauce! Pour it over some noodles and it’s a comfort dish my whole family loves!!!

  377. Caitlin

    We use the blender the combine the main ingredients for my mother-in-law’s famous Flan de Queso. Always a favorite at get-togethers!

  378. Susan K.

    right now I am completely into making home make restaurant style {smooth} salsas. It’s so fast and it’s sooooo yummy!

    thanks for the chance to win one of these amazing blenders!!!

  379. chandice

    Me and my hubby love to make smoothies all the time with our blender but this one is ten times better. I would love to won this one!

  380. Lynda

    I make my own lemon poppyseed dressing and it’s fast and easy. Tastes great on fruit salad. Great on fruit salad this time of year using your apples and grapes.

  381. Wendy

    I love to make smoothies, but I will be changing that up very soon. I am having gastric bypass surgery, and a BlendTec would be great for making protein shakes!

  382. Joanne

    I have this awesome frosting recipe made with evaporated milk that is whipped up in the blender. It is my favorite chocolate frosting because it is so creamy and light. I would love to have this blender!

  383. Glori Winders

    I love to make nut butters and coconut butter. I have been desiring a high powered blender like the Blendtec. It would make the work so much easier! Thanks.

  384. Sarah E

    If you asked me a few months ago, I would’ve said Cheddar Broccoli Soup, but recently I’ve gotten bombtastic at making frappuccinos :)

  385. Kristin

    I LOVE to make a good smoothie full of fruits and vegetables in the morning! Super yummmmmmmy and healthy too!

  386. Palvena pace

    Favorite thing to make in a bleder would be my blender banana bread! Yum yum and always brings a smile to everyone!

  387. Lisa

    Guess we’re no different than anyone else…. smoothies!!! W/3 little girls, smoothies are very popular in our house, and it would be great to make them in something better than our old blender. Fingers crossed!

  388. Jeanne ODonnell

    Since I do not have a blender, and my food processor is in the trash, I would really love this to make creamy squash soup!

  389. Janie

    HI! My favorite thing to blend is a vanilla malt! The healthiest things I like to blend are whole wheat pancakes and green smoothies. I would love a Blend tec!!!!!

  390. Elizabeth W

    Normally it would be smoothies… But this time of year its definitely adding some fresh pumpkin puree to pretty much everything

  391. BarbaraR

    my favorite thing to make in a blender is a smoothie, however I also like to make salad dressings, soups, salsa, hummus, peanut butter……..I could go on and on. I have eyed this blender for years and would love to win one!

  392. beth g

    my favorite thing to make in a blender would be my butternut squash and apple soup – if my blender could handle it without it spewing all over my kitchen. and smoothies with extra frozen fruit, but again, my blender just can’t handle them.

  393. Karen H

    I make Margaritas, a lot of Margaritas……But I love making an orange smoothie like the Orange Julious from the mall (“back in the day”). I also make homemade cream of tomatoe soup. YUMM!

  394. Anne Weber-Falk

    Whoa that’s a tough one. We make shakes, hummus, smoothies, and finish off soups in our blender. They are all our favorites!

  395. Erin M

    I probably use my blender most in the summer when my garden is full of tomatoes, garlic, jalapenos, and onions:) Fresh garden salsa is my favorite thing to make in a blender!

  396. jen

    Defn easy. Milkshades or smoothies. Depending on what I’m in the mood for. Or I should say what flavor. But can’t go wrong wit either one! :)

  397. Debe h.

    Hot Sauce! Easiest salsa ever…
    Crushed tomatoes,chunks of onion and jalapeño, salt, garlic and a handful of fresh cilantro on top. Then blend til the cilantro is just starting to incorporate.
    Enjoy with chips and another blender favorite such as a margarita!

  398. Dawn in HSV

    You would not believe how many “good” blenders I have gone through… and they don’t last. I’d love this one!

  399. Dana

    i love to make smoothies every day after the gym – though neither my blender nor my 3 cup mini food processor are powerful enough!

  400. Jodi Krautkramer

    Okay I love my fruit so a blender makes smoothie making AMAZING! blueberries, bananna, and strawberries with a little bit of orange juice or apple juice!

  401. Laura

    Smoothies to drink by the pool in the summer when it’s just too darn hot to actually eat…that is the best!!

  402. Aimee M

    Green smoothies! They’ve been critical in my weight loss and I love coming up with different flavor combinations. My favorite is almond milk, frozen blueberries, frozen pineapple, and lots of spinach!

  403. Judy

    I love to make smoothies with fresh fruit, yogurt and sometimes protein powder. Yummy stuff when mixed well and super cold!

  404. Jane

    Smoothies! Or strawberry daiquiris. Or soups…like tomato or roasted red pepper. I hope I win to try this machine out. Thanks for the offer.

  405. Deb N.

    I would definitely say smoothies but with a blender like that I would experiment and make lots of new things I would never even try in my blender!

  406. lori peuterbaugh

    Frappes for my husband!! But I have a new grandson that I would gladly make fresh baby food for !!

  407. Jenny H.

    This would be the most amazing prize to win! Being a mother of four and also trying to keep them healthy, we LOVE to make healthy smoothies all the time, but last week our blender broke:( Our favorite things to make are smoothies and I also use it for so many other things including soups, salsas and a variety of other things. :):):)

  408. Erin N.

    Wow, what a great giveaway! I love to make smooties for the kids and milkshakes too! Thanks for the chance to win. :)

  409. Cristina S

    I love making my protein smoothies using protein powder, water and frozen fruit. My 2nd favorite thing to make is green enchilada sauce…yum!

  410. Sheila

    Definitely smoothies!! Although I just saw someone mention mocha shakes … maybe it’s time for a new favorite!

  411. DeidreSH

    milkshakes and/or smoothies…i’m addicted. but i must say i would rather have the milkshake over the smoothie anyday. :)

  412. Jan

    This is my favorite recipe for butternut squash soup
    Butternut Squash Apple Soup

    Note that the smaller you chop your vegetables, the faster they will cook. We like to finely dice the onion. celery and carrot, and cut the squash and apple into 1/2-inch chunks. For a variation add a couple dashes of smoked paprika and/or swirl in a little sour cream at the end (off the heat).
    Ingredients

    1 medium yellow onion, chopped
    1 rib of celery, chopped
    1 carrot, chopped
    2 Tbsp butter
    1 butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed, chopped
    1 tart green apple, peeled, cored, chopped (squash and apple should be at a 3 to 1 ratio)
    3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth if vegetarian)*
    1 cup water
    Pinches of nutmeg, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper

    *If cooking gluten-free, use gluten-free broth.
    Method

    1 Set a large saucepan over medium-high heat and heat the butter for 1-2 minutes. Do not let it turn brown. Add the onion, celery and carrot and sauté for 5 minutes, taking care to turn the heat down if the vegetables begin to brown.

    2 Add squash, apple, broth and water. Bring to boil. Cover, turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes or until squash and carrots soften. Puree, and return to a clean pot.

    3 Add salt and spices to taste, and garnish with chives or parsley.

    Yield: Serves 4-6.

  413. Leesa Gentry

    Have to say smoothies but have some recipes for some breakfast dishes to be mixed in the blender that I really want to try.

  414. Sue C

    I don’t even have a blender – but have been looking at them because I need one! I would love to make smoothies!

  415. danielle

    I love to blend protein shakes, but my kids love when I make them old fashioned chocolate THICK shakes with ice cream!

  416. Marty Ann

    Love your blog, it’s like traveling without packing!! Thanks! I like making my pizza dough in the blender.

  417. cindy

    I have been a smoothie lover since way back in the Dark Ages of my childhood. My absolute favorite gift from my high school graduation? A blender to take to college to make smoothies. And 29 years later, I’m still using that same blender. A new one to make smoothies in? Oh, my, please.

  418. Kelli

    Pink frozen margaritas. My favorite recipe my mom passed on to me! It’s a weird tradition but we have them every Thanksgiving. Yum!

  419. Heather

    Green smoothies, for sure! I’ve lost 25 pounds by simply having one each morning. I’d also love to try my hand at making almond milk and a variety of flours.

  420. Mollie

    I’m a blender pesto person! Add cilantro, spinach (and any greens that take your fancy) basil and walnuts, and whirr! Insta-pesto!

  421. Julie @ Table for Two

    I love making smoothies of any kind!! Would love this blender to blend up the thicker mixes :)

  422. Christina

    I love making frozen banana smoothies, sooo delicious, especially if they have a little shot of whipped flavored vodka!

  423. Maria Trader

    definitely smoothies. They are so easy and taste great with just about whatever you throw in and best of all it’s a quick way to get tons of fruit and veggies into my kids!

  424. Lisa C Johnson

    Right now I use my blender just about every morning. I make protein smoothies for my breakfast on the go. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  425. Hilarie

    My hubby is the blenderizer in our house (this would be an awesome Christmas gift!!!), but my favorite blender creation might have to be strawberry daiquiris. YUM. Thanks for the chance to win!

  426. Jenn

    My favourite thing right now would be smoothies; but if I could make my own nut butter in this machine, that might be my new favourite!

  427. Dustin Kennedy

    Smoothies! My kids love them. I have seen the demonstrations in places like Costco and have always coveted a Blendtec Blender, but I have a blender that works (although 14 years old) and couldn’t justify the steep price tag. I hope I win!!!

  428. Jan

    In the autumn, my favorite thing is squash bisque! It is a Southern Living recipe and after you cook it on top of the stove, you blend it and it makes the most velvety, elegant, delicious soup you’ve ever tasted. Let me know if you want the recipe…

  429. Jean Punt

    My very favorite thing to make in the blender is a nice cold fruit and vegie smoothie…a great
    pick-up on a warm summer afternoon.

  430. Cindy {crazylou}

    I would use it for my protein shakes, smoothies and dressings. I could totally use a new blender, I’m drooling over this one!!
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  431. Ali b.

    Thanks for this amazing giveaway! We love to blend veggie & fruit smoothies of course but there’s so much MORE out there that I could definitely try with a blender like this!

  432. Sue B in Atlanta

    I use it for spaghetti sauce. My 6 year old granddaughter, Abby Kate, won’t eat anything that isn’t one color. If there are flecks of spice or pieces of hamburger or vegetables in the sauce, she turns her head away. So into the blender it goes and, YEAH, no flecks! Child eats healthy and I win.

  433. amanda

    smoothies! i hate the texture of most fruits, so putting them all into a smoothie is the perfect solution :)

  434. Cindy

    I would throw some frozen bananas in and make banana ice cream. Soups, smoothies and sauces next. Fabulous contest. Thanks!

  435. Michelle

    I love to make soup this time of year in a blender…but I have to use my Mom’s “soup’d” up blender since most can’t handle the pressure. Also milkshakes…YUM!!! As always, thanks for doing the giveaway! :)

  436. Christy Jackson

    My hubby is the blender KING! My favorite thing for HIM to make in the blender is milkshakes! He loves experimenting with different ingredients and combinations. :-)

  437. Caitlin

    Smoothies! I make one really every night for my “dessert”. But I also love how convenient it is to make salsa and blend soup.

  438. Hannah

    I love making my “green monster” smoothie and was just thinking this morning that I need to make it today before my spinach loses its spring. Would love to win :)))))!

  439. Chelsi

    I would have to say smoothies. My blender is on the downhill, so this would be awesome to win! If I had one of these, I might just have to try juicing!! :)

    Thanks for having a giveway again Amanda, maybe someday I will win something!! :)

  440. Robin in NC

    I know it’s old school, but chocolate milkshakes are still my absolute favorite blender concoctions !!

    Thanks for sharing all your beautiful pictures too!!

  441. Courtney

    It’s a tie! I love making smoothies but I also use my blender frequently to blend soups! I don’t have an immersion blender so I just rely on my regular one. It’s my favorite thing to do in the winter: throw some veggies & stock in the slow cooker then blend some up to make a “creamy” delicious soup when I get home for dinner!!

  442. Inma

    In Summer, when it’s hot, all you want to have is a cold soup. My favorite thing to blend are fresh vegetables for a GAZPACHO SOUP!!

    1 1/2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped.
    1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
    1/2 cup chopped green pepper
    1 medium garlic clove, minced
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    1 lime, juiced OR 2 teaspoons of white wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon table salt
    Breadcrumbs are optional as well as onion (I don’t like raw onion much).

    Directions:
    Place the tomatoes and their juice into the blender. Add the cucumber, green pepper, garlic clove, olive oil, lime juice, salt and puree for 15 to 20 seconds on high speed. Pour the pureed mixture to the bowl and stir to combine. Cover and chill for 2 hours and up to overnight. THAT’S IT! So quick & easy, so fresh and healthy! :)

  443. wynonah

    Smoothies, ices/icecream, and it gets a workout during canning season chopping and poreeing all manner of things. great site, thanks!

  444. Kristin

    Well, I love making ice cream shakes, but I can’t eat them as often as I’d like, so probably smoothies.

  445. Olivia @ Liv Lives Life

    My favorite thing to make is a protein smoothie! Frozen berries, OJ, a handful of spinach, and some protein powder. Yum!

  446. Tabetha

    Well, were it still warm out I totally would have said berry smoothies {with fresh berries from the farmer’s market}. But today its in the low 50’s {which is awesomely wonderful}, so instead I’m gonna go with my husband’s acorn squash soup…which I could really use a bowl of ’round ’bout now!

  447. Lisa Whitaker

    What would I make? The mostly made thing would probably be almond flour from whole almonds. I hear this machine is great for that! Maybe some raw soups.

  448. Mary S.

    My favorite to make is margaritas! Several delicious flavors and you definitely need a good blender to make a good one. Hope I win this one!!

  449. Autumn

    My dad doesn’t hesitate to make fun of me almost every single day when I whip up my favorite smoothie. It’s a version of a “green monster” with bananas, spinach, and milk. I swear you can’t even taste the spinach!!

  450. Karyn D

    My favorite smoothie to make in a blender: coconut water, coconut milk, hemp oil, chia seeds, maca powder, spirulina, and frozen fruit (bananas, cherries, strawberries and blueberries)
    DELISH AND NUTRISH !!!

  451. Kristen B.

    I love making smoothies in our blender. I’ve tried making pesto in our blender, but it’s not powerful enough….I’d love to win this!

  452. Ann White

    The only thing my old blender will do is barely chop cabbage for slaw. It is atleast 35 years old and doesn’t half work.

  453. Anthony M

    Thanks for this amazing chance. My favorite thing to blend is a delicious oatmeal berry smoothie for breakfast!

  454. Sally

    I cannot tell a lie — I’ve never had a blender, so I don’t know what my “favorite” thing to make would be… but I’m guessing it would be fun to try different types of smoothies… =)

  455. tanya leavitt

    You are so amazing. I love blending up friut. For jam, for Smoothies, it is so fun watchingthe fruit go from.whole to liquid. It is so satisfing to me.

  456. Brandi S

    I love strawberry smoothies…I can’t get enough of them and ale them all the time!!! I just love your site, you always have such great posts ( and i love the fact you switch up the subject of the posts 😊). Thank you for the opportunity to win!

    1. Stacey S

      Hi Stephanie,

      I noticed you said you have a low carb pancaked batter recipe? Would you be so kind as to email or post the recipe for me? I live the LC lifestyle and have yet to find a pancake recipe that ‘hits the spot’. :-)

      Thank you,
      Stacey

  457. Lisa S.

    I use my blender everyday for protein shakes (and smoothies, soups, etc.) – which might be why I am in the market for a new one. I’m going to check out this Blendtec brand. Thanks for the info and a chance to win one!

  458. Diane P.

    I love using the blender to make soups, the kids like to make smoothies and on the weekends, the adults like to make drinks!!

  459. Janine O

    Definitely fruit smoothies — any fresh fruit available, a little juice and yogurt — and it’s good to go!

  460. Maria M.

    I guess the answer would be “I can make everything in this total blender”, but one of my most difficult things to make in my own blender is MY Sofrito (fresh spices). I can see it would be a breeze to make in this one, Wow

  461. nancyeileen

    Daaaang! A Blendtec? Sure would make life lovely whipping up my ritual fresh fruit morning smoothies.
    AND would make my monthly dinner club smile by making my spunky, south-central Texas SALSA!!
    Double mmmm!
    Thanx a heap for the opportunity to enter the Blendtec contest :)

  462. Kellie

    I should be a good girl and say smoothies but the honest answer is mixed drinks, LOL. Especially a yummy margarita!!

  463. Veronica

    Super yummy organic morning smoothies…coca powder, fage greek yogurt, blueberries, almond milk, couple of mint leaves and ice if you like it a little bit thick. And blended mixed drinks (you can’t be good ALL of the time!)!

  464. Holly

    I use a blender everyday to make green smoothies, but my Kitchenaid blender leaves clumps of banana every time. I’d love to win the Blendtec you are giving away, and my son would really get a kick out of having the famous YouTube blender that can pulverize just about anything.

  465. Leslie Kiley

    I have not blended anything for a long while cause my 20 year old blender was dropped and now has a crack in it’s glass pitcher but I would love to make Hollandaise sauce!

  466. Lisa

    WOOHOO faboo giveaway! Smoothies or milkshakes yum….though I think this puppy could inspire me to try some other recipes :)

  467. Amanda

    FROZEN MARGARITAS! It is hot here in Texas almost year round, so margaritas are always popular. I especially like fresh fruit in mine! Yum!

  468. Rachel

    This is easy…smoothies!! We love to stock up on fresh seasonal fruit and when it gets too ripe, we chop it up and stick it in the freezer.
