I did it. I purchased a Blentec and I totally blame Costco for this. I kept passing that demo lady and just couldn’t resist.
My life for the last 3 days hasn’t been the same. I’m too excited for words that I’m now a proud owner of a Blendtec. I’m enjoying a lot of smoothies at the moment but my intention is to be making soups with it.
Blueberry Smoothie
Kale/Spinach/Avocado Smoothie
Things I’m loving about the Blendtec:
-I love the timer feature as I no longer need to guess what 90 seconds is.
-I love the easy to clean wide pitcher
-I love that it pulverizes everything
Things I’m not enjoying:
-it sounds like a 747 airplane
-I still have to cook my soup. I thought I cook just add raw vegetables and some stock and make a quick soup – WRONG. You really need to brown the onions.
-my freezer has no space as I bought these huge bags of frozen fruit from Costco.
It was an investment to purchase this Blendtec but I think it was a wise one.
Check out the Blendtec YouTube videos where they blend all sorts of unique things like iPads. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAl28d6tbko
Fun stuff!
I have owned a Blendtec blender for 2 years. I am still amazed at all it can do.
If you visit the Blendtec website, they have lots of great recipes to try. I have been using their smoothie recipes each morning for 3 months and have lost 20 pounds! It has been a life changer for me.
There are a lot of blender brands out there. I have owned several. Most are useless. Blendtec offers the best built high speed blender on the market. And the safest too. In recent months, thousands of blenders made by Calphalon, Frigidaire and Vitamix have all been recalled due to breaking shafts and blades. The quality just isn’t there with these other brands.
