I haven’t yet blended any sneakers though, so someone will have to try that one out themselves! In short, I love this blender and it’s earned it’s keep and a place on my counter since arrival. ![]() I’ve made quite a few things thus far in the blender, my current list is: Recipes for everything you can imagine from salsas to breads to soups. However, perhaps the best part of the BlendTec is the MASSIVE cookbook that it comes with. Of course, it’s a bit off because each ‘cycle’ counts as one use, whereas something like peanut butter can take a few cycles. Two cool features are an easy to read ounce level on the jar, plus a nifty odometer (that you can see in above photos) as to how many times I’ve used it. Plus, it’s all just pure fresh fruit – NOTHING added. Each box costs me only $10 – so it’s incredibly cheap that way at a dollar per pound – similar to Costco. So I go to a nearby Restaurant Depot and pickup boxes of frozen fruit. They taste great in smoothies!īut now that it’s fall and nearly winter, some fresh fruits are more expensive than I want them to be. Then once frozen individually I toss them into plastic containers. When the bananas on my counter aren’t getting loved fast enough, I’ll just peel, cut and freeze them on sheets. I end up buying as much fresh fruit as possible and then cutting it up myself and freezing it. Of course, the problem you quickly find is that you buy a lot of fruit. Good stuff! Oh, and there’s no weird oil sitting on top of the peanut butter after a few days – just nice clean peanut butter. And then a few days later I also made almond butter (just using straight almonds). I prefer chunky, so my next batch I made chunky instead. You can of course stop it along the way and make any consistency peanut butter. Nothing added, no oils, no funky ingredients – just simple peanuts. So after the smoothie it was time to up the ante. Or really any other button that you see fit.Īnd it swirls. So in goes some orange juice, a bit of apple juice (both great bases) and then some bananas I froze a few days before, plus some peaches I picked earlier in the summer and froze, as well as some pineapple I also chopped up and froze. Whereas using frozen fruit and then cold fruit juice is perfect and packed with flavor – plus – no sugar added. This is because water/ice offers no flavor (duh), and only serves to chill. The way to make them taste like the good smoothie places is to NOT use ice or any water. Which brings me to a little trick about smoothies. And I had to plug it in all by myself! So the first thing I set out to do was to create a quick smoothie using all fresh fruit that I froze myself. I’ll save you the process of putting it together – it was pretty complex…ya know, two pieces and all. A quick virtual credit card swipe later and it arrived the next day courtesy. So….it was decided, I needed this the BlendTec Home blender. ![]()
