If you caught my Tutorial Tuesday post this week on how to make the best homemade salsa ever, you have definitely been waiting for this post! Today I am super excited to be partnering with Blendtec on this amazing giveaway. One lucky Tasty Yummies reader will take home their very own Blendtec Designer 725 Blender + Twister Jar.
As I mentioned in the salsa post, this high speed blender is life changing!! I really mean it. I seriously didn’t know what I was missing out on with these run of the mill blenders I have been using all these years.
Why Do I Love My Blendtec So Much?
Honestly, I didn’t realize just what a crappy job my other blenders had been doing all these years until I started using the Blendtec. You guys, did you know that smoothies do not have to have little chunks in them? As someone who puts her blender through the ringer, I have to say, it is incredible what this Blendtec can handle. Frozen dates in my smoothies are no longer chunky little bits that get caught in the straw. Homemade salad dressings are smooth and creamy, no hunks of garlic or big blobs of fresh herbs. Oh and nut butters are a breeze and I have even used it to grind homemade flour (look for that post next week).
It’s fast, it’s powerful and it cleans up so easily. A few drops of soap right after you are done blending, a little warm water and use the “Clean” setting. BAM, done! Honestly, I kinda feel like I have my own little robot friend in this Blendtec. It talks to me (well not literally, but it displays little messages), it encourages me, tells me how many blends I’ve done, suggests that I tweet about my blender, it even warns me if something isn’t right. It’s just smarter than your average blender. I can down with all that.
What’s a Twister Jar?
The Twister Jar. is designed to blend your thickest recipes, such as nut butters, hummus, baby food, dips, thick shakes, dressings and more!
To use the jar, simply add ingredients and twist the lid counter-clockwise while the blend cycle is running. This twisting motion forces the ingredients from the sides of the jar back into the blade, allowing you to achieve a perfect blend every time.
Also included is the Spectacula™ spatula—engineered specifically for the Twister. We made this spatula just the right length and shape so you can get nearly every morsel out of your jar.

Everything!!! I have been begging for a Blendtec as soon as they became available. I want one badly. I am an avid juicer but the juicer that I currently use spits all the pulp out and you waste alot of your fruits and veggies. I would love the Blentec as it would emulsify everything and there would be no waste. I would also make tons of soup in my Blendtec! 🙂
Thank you for an awesome giveaway Beth!

Yay!! So exciting! Dying to get a good blender! Mine is falling apart!
I just cannot wait to wake up every morning with a great smoothie and later on have a snack with a perfect humus and carrots. I love making salsas, sauces and homemade Nutella.. so this blander looks a real treat!

So many things I would do with that fantastic blender! Smoothies, of course, and also homemade nut butters, soups, and much more…
protein shakes
Smoothies, we have them everyday and soups, pesto so many things
What a crazy awesome giveaway! What would I make with a BlendTec? Seriously, I have to pick ONE THING?! I guess I’d start with a batch of nut butter, because my current crapola Ninja just doesn’t do it well enough!
I’m on a red smoothie kick recently. Loving on the fresh, sweet, in-season sugar beets! Just posted a recipe for my Red Revitalizer on the blog — a real ruby-hued hummer!

I’d love to use it for my green smoothies, as well as several blender recipes I want to try.
I would really like something that emulsifies my kale and spinache for my “greenie” drinks that I don’t have to still chew when I’m done!
I would like to finally conquer homemade nut butter (I have struggled) and I think it would be awesome to try and make my own brown rice flour! I have a 25 lb. bag of brown rice, waiting in the ready!
Make almond butter or pumpkin seed butter. Also mix ingredients for cheese substitutes. Smoothies! The list goes on and on. There would be so many options 🙂
I’d make smooth smoothies!!
I would use it to make a morning smoothie and for cashew cream plus a million other things!

Been using a vitamin for years. Hope I win the giveaway so I can see just how much better the Blendtec is.
I would love to win this blender!
This sounds amazing. Just what I need for smoothies, soups, sauces, dips. I’ve wanted to try making cashew cream but my old blender probably can’t handle it. I would definitely try it with this one. I could put it to good use for sure.

Thanks for the chance to win one!!!!
Smoothies and soups.
I would make a lot of soups first and smoothies for breakfast!!
Oh every recipe from Tasty Yummies! I printed off as many as possible and put them in a book. I am currently using my mum’s old Kitchenaid blender that is 40 years old! Can’t believe it is still going ( its ulgy green) but it does a terrible job and sounds like an airplane taking off. Was just about to take the plunge and buy one new but saw your contest post and now it’s meant to be for me. Love love all your soups Beth, I definetly would make soups and smoothies!
I would make soups/smoothies every day!
I would mix customized sauces, pestos, curries etc and can/jar them for my friends- using local organic ingredients! Yum!
I would use this blender everyday for soups, salsas, smoothies, etc. I’m planning on starting the GAPS diet next month and having the blendtec would be really handy!
So many things! Nut butters, nut milks, smoothies, soups. I would use it all the time. Thanks!
I’ll be blending up nut butters, soups, salsa, and smoothies!
Date paste!
I tried with my current blender today and it was a joke!
I used to use my old Blendtec Classic to blend from little things to big things, dissolving sugar for water kefir, making rice and quinoa flour, souces, ice cream, almond butter, tahini, batters, soups and of course delicious smoothies and coconut milk. Made my life easier, used less time in the kitchen and made less mess. I miss my Blendtec a lot 🙁
What WOULDN’T I do?! Make home made nut butters and/or milk. Make my own flour…have always wanted to do that! Of course, the ever-popular healthy “smoothie” blends, the sky is the limit! I really like that this blender is shorter than many sinceI have an older kitchen with smaller dimensions everywhere.
I would blend fruit smoothies!
Nut butters!
I would make cashew cream!
I would be SO grateful to win this!! Oh the yummy things I could make!!
I would start with nut butters and milks. How wonderful to finally be able to make fresh, healthy and unadulterated at home. From there, sky is the limit. 🙂
My brother just broke my blender!! This one is way better than the one I had anyways. Thanks so much for the opportunity. Your blog is for real my favorite. 🙂
I would blend some autumn soup!
I have been wanting to try blender ice cream for a while, but my current blender isn’t powerful enough!
Oh Blendtec! I’ve had my eye on you for so sometime now but my budget saids no. The possibilities of using the Blendtec blender on a daily basis are endless. From smoothies for breakfast, to hummus/vegan dips with lunch, nut butter for snacks, to soups with dinner and countless other recipes found on this amazing website. And less not forget desserts! I’m thinking fruit purées with cooked quinoa, just to keep it on the the healthy sides. Thanks for the opportunity!
Everything!
Make my own almond flour for sure!
I will make almond butter with maple, cinnamon and cloves 😛
I’ve been trying to make nut butter a few times, but my blender is just not strong enough. Wish I had the money to get a blendtec …. 😉
I’d use this blender for nuts to make nut cheeses!
Beth, you are by far among my top 5 food bloggers! I was so excited to see you offering this giveaway. I recently had to return a brand new Blendtec Total Blender w/twister jar that I purchased from Sam’s back in April. After about 100 uses, it began to smoke and hop around on the counter, I noticed black particles on the base of the unit after removing the jar and also found that they had leaked into the jar and my green smoothie :-(.
I really enjoyed using the twister jar for making homemade almond butter and nutella. I would continue to make those and so many of your fantastic recipes. Also wanted to share with you that I was so excited to find the olive oil you use in my local BB&B World Market section!
Thank you for sharing you wonderful talents with us 🙂
This would be perfect for making food for my baby! He will be 6 months and starting solids in less than a month!
I would love to have a more effective way of making nut butter.
I would make lots of smoothies!
Green smoothies
With a Blendtec, I would make salsas, soups, and sauces. I love making blended food, but my current blender is too small.
Your recipes have helped me continue to eat what is right for my body. Sometimes it can be very hard to stay on track. I would love to win this fabulous blender to continue my kitchen adventures! 🙂
I would blend awesome smoothies, nut meals and butters, the list goes on and on!

This blender would be such a great upgrade from the $70 Oster I have been using to try and make smoothies and nut flours!
I’d make some sort of healthier frappuccino in my Blendtec!
Oh man, there are so many things I could do with a Blendtec! I’d love to have something powerful enough to make my green smoothies truly smooth, make nut butter, and make some Larabar knockoffs, just to name a few!
I’d love to try my own hand at making almond butter and cashew butter in the twister jar.
I would love this so much because as a full time college student finishing up her degree and headed to graduate school soon, I need all the help I can get when it comes to making meals on a budget. This would be life changing for me!
I long for the day to drink smooth smoothies!
Blend my own nut butters…that would be a dream. I would mix nut butter with coconut oil and cinnamon but I would leave out the cloves…wouldn’t want that powerful taste or crunch. Happy blending…can’t even imagine a world with a Blendtec.
I’d use it to make various kinds of nut milks and my daily smoothies!!
I want to start eating healthier and would use this for smoothies. 😀
I’d make that hazel nutty Nutella spread of yours in your nut butter tutorial!

I would blend an avocado smoothie!

I just broke another old blender 🙁 i rely on protein ice cream and banana soft serve to squash the sweet tooth when I’m cutting weight for boxing. I’d make more raw desserts because dates don’t blend well in a regular blender! I’d also make hummus and nut butters and soups!
Pretty much everything. I’ve started making my own almond milk and will never go back to store bought, unfortunately my current batch is almost out and I’m blender less!

Would SO love to make non-chunky smoothies and soups and nut butters! Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity!
I would absolutely blend sorbet or ice cream. After that, soup. Then salsa. Then mashed cauliflower. Then…. everything else!
I’d make baby food for this little one that’s due in Jan 2015. I only make $12.75 hr and could never afford something as wonderful as this. I’d make smoothies on a regular and a whole bunch of other things to help out with such a tight budget.
