UPDATE: The winner was chosen by Random.org. Congratulations to Lee, who said: “I plan on making hummus! And smoothies!” Thank you to everyone who entered. Lee, please check your email for instructions on claiming your prize. Another winner will be chosen if prize is unclaimed. 
Happy Thursday before Thanksgiving, everyone! I can not tell you how excited I am to host this giveaway for you today. On Monday, we put up our Christmas tree and stockings because, as you are reading this, we are on the road and won’t be home again until two days after Thanksgiving. This way, we can walk into our house and have our Christmas decorations already up and ready to be in full swing for the holidays!
Waking up to our Christmas tree lights for the last three days has really put me in the mood for Christmas shopping! But, since I have no time or even money (hello, saving up for house down payment!) to do that right now, this giveaway is the next best thing. Consider this my Christmas present to you. My friends at Blendtec are sponsoring one very lucky Pennies reader to win a factory restored Total Blender Classic Wildside plus a brand new Twister Jar to go along with it! This is over a $500 value, people! Score!
This blender is seriously the real deal. It replaces many of your other kitchen appliances and does it all for you. It can make dips, ice cream, nut butters, smoothies, soups, etc. And, it all blends so evenly with an operating brain of its own, you don’t even understand how you got that perfect consistency! I know I would get pretty frustrated with my old blender, having to always stop it, scrape down the sides, shake it and whatever else in order to get it to blend just right. No longer do I need to do this now that I have a Blendtec!
And, you better believe I’ll be putting this to full time use once this new baby comes along and starts eating baby food.
Here are a few other recipes you can make in Blendtec blenders:
Hummus
Pimiento Cheese
Salsa
Falafel
Baba Ghanoush
Green Monster Smoothie
Banana Ice Cream

I have recently been diagnosed with Mal Absorption syndrome and I have to try to up my protein intake in a form that my body will accept. If I had this blender I would be able to supplement my diet with healthy protein rich smoothies. I have several recipes from my nutritionist, but unable to buy a blender at this time due to being laid off from work. This blender would be an answer to my prayers.
In order to submit 2 extra blender give a way entrees I have signed up to follow both penniesonaplatt and blendtec on twitter

I use my blender all of the time. The drawback, it’s a cheap one that is 10 years old. I have wanted to make some smoothies that my mom drinks everyday loaded with spinach,kale and several other greens but my blender can’t break it down enough. She has a Blendtec and raves about it! I would defenitely put it to good use!
would love to make my own nut butters, since I’ve never had a blender that could accomplish that. Lump free smoothies and slushies would be a real treat as well.
New BlendTec Blender means new salsa recipes!!!!!!!!!! Double score!
WOW!!! This blender would be the bomb!!! Every summer I make Salsa with veggies from our garden. It would be so much easier to use this. Also, to make Tarter Sauce, cocktail sauce, apple sauces and much more. I love making this stuff instead of buying in store as then I know what is in it. Hope I win. Would make things easier and fast.

Thanks for all th behind the scenes work on such a great giveaway wow! 
Since my current blender smells like burning rubber every time I start it, I need this for ALL my blending needs. But I’d especially love to be able to make my own nut butters- specifically almond chocolate! Yum!
I can imagine making tons of things in this, including my favorite salsa and pesto. But one thing I would love to use it for is salad dressings. I don’t currently have anything that allows me to drizzle in olive oil while its blending, so I usually have to do this by hand (which is fine, but this would be so much better
)!

If I was so lucky to win this blender that I’ve wanted from the start, I would first make peanut butter! Then I would make almond flour to make a delicious dessert! Yum!
While I would love to say that I’d be drinking fabulous green smoothies every day, I have a hunch it would also be well used for my peanut butter & banana smoothies.
I would definitely make either homemade peanut butter or nutella!
I would make peanut butter nutella shakes…oh the possibilities with that blender! sigh*

This would be so great! There are so many things I’ve been planning to make, but couldn’t because I don’t have a blender. I guess the first thing I’d do would start making dips-which I make with a handblender every week-with the blender. No more splatters all over the kitchen lol
We love to make green smoothies and banana ice cream is always a hit with a toddler!

I will make everything possible with this blender! Ice cream, smoothies, sauces, dips… Everything our dairy- and gluten-free household needs to make!
I would love to make home made baby food. I just seems healthier and cheaper than store bought.
Since my 5 week old baby girl is intolerant of milk protein (and I nurse), I am having to go dairy free. Since I seem to put milk, cheese, etc in just about EVERYTHING I cook I am having to learn to use other things (tofu to make things “creamy”, etc). (We just found out this week so I have been researching and experimenting like crazy!) This blender would be AWESOME for helping the transition to being dairy free!
I would make smoothies with it for sure, but also I’m interested in trying other recipes with it!

I think it would be a shorter list what wouldn’t I do with this! I cook from scratch and can see making my own nut butters, nut meals, grinding flours, making mayo, mustard and custom smoothies as a bonus!
What wouldnt I make with Blendtec? I do daycare in my home. This would be great for making homemade babyfood for my babies, nut butters for my children with peanut allergies,amoothies for everyone else. It would be Chirstmas come early that if for sure.
I would make some awesome smoothies!

Holy cow! Awesome giveaway! What WOULDN’T I make? I love the pimento cheese idea but definitely smoothies and sauces too. This reminds me that I should ask for a blender for Christmas since mine cost about $12 from Target many years ago (unless I win this one, of course
)
We would make lots of smoothies!!!
Kale pineapple coconut smoothies with a whey base! -k
Wow…would love this. So many ideas…smoothies, milkshakes, fraps and more including soups!
Dulce de Leche ice cream…umm!
The banana ice cream you suggested sounds like it would make a great first dish to make!
I have 2 young daughters who would love for me to make them smoothies of all different flavors. I’ll admit that I’m not the best cook and limited to what I can make. But I’m trying to learn and expand my abilities. The blender would definitely help pave the way.
Were I lucky enough to win this, you can bet I’d be making some spiked chai milkshakes. Yum!
I would make SO much stuff out of my 50×50 garden. Fresh Pestos, Sauces and Soups and of course smoothies! Also blend up my herbs and horseradish…Praying for an early Christmas!

Green smoothies! yum!
I would love to try to make hummus! Thanks for the opportunity!
Baby food!! How awesome! I tried using our older-clearly-not-as-amazing blender when my first daughter was a baby, but the blender didn’t cooperate. I need this Blendtec one! I have heard wonderful things about it.
I would make a berry smoothie!

Smoothies is the obvious answer! It’d be so nice to make a real one– my current blender can hardly “blend” and so my smoothies are usually too liquidy and filled with a million chunks of things.

This would be perfect since my blender broke a few weeks ago! I’d make hummus and smoothies for sure!!
Almond butter!! It’s my new favorite thing.
It would surely make perfect creamy cashew nut butter and great morning veggie shakes.
I have read such rave reviews about this blender, can only imagine
there would be a BUNCH of things to make with it. Thank you, have
a great trip.

Smoothies
I’d use it for pureeing soups and making smoothies.
oooh this would be awesome! i make a green smoothie almost daily, and my $29 blender from Target just doesn’t quite cut it.
my staple staple smoothie:
-spinach, kale, or swiss chard (or an assortment of the 3)
-4 to 8oz water (sometimes i’ll use unsweetened almond milk)
-frozen blueberries, mixed berries, and/or mango
-1/2 frozen banana
-1 tbsp hemp seed
-1 tsp maca powder
-all natural protein powder (following a workout)
I would start out with salsa.
i follow blendtech on twitter and fb and pinterest!

@teripastorino
We have been wanting to get a Blendtec for years, most specifically to make houmus, which often binds up lesser quality blenders. We also would like to make fresh salsa from our backyard garden yield in the Blendtec. It’s an expensive appliance, so the give-away would be a blessing.
Smoothies for sure…and Pina Coladas…and margarita’s. And salad dressing too!
and I already follow you on Twitter
(I’m @ mikki522)
I would definitely make smoothies! I’ve also always wanted to try and make hummus, so that would happen for sure.
Thanks for such an awesome opportunity!
It’s Amy Thompson, with a ‘p’! It wouldn’t let me change it lol!

Wow! What an awesome giveaway. I have seen nothing but great reviews of the Blendtec and would love to have my own.
In our home it would be used to make fresh fruit smoothies I’m sure. I love the Strawberry Banana Smoothies at McDonalds but don’t like getting those too often because they take something that should be somewhat healthy and add all sorts of stuff which boosts calories and fat.
And it would be used as well to make homemade baby foods for our Granddaughter who is currently living with us temporarily along with her parents. That would be such a money saver for them.
Lots of blended stuff?
Blender Icecream and sorbets ?
Smoothies for the kids first
I would make smoothies and hummus!

I would like to make squash soup, and then ice cream for dessert
Hi! I would love to make my own hummus! Thanks for the great recipes! Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m going to make smoothies! My daughter says you gotta drink em and the Blendtec is the only way to make them.
We really need a blender! I can never make my crepe recipe smooth enough by hand!
I’d love to make pesto.

If I have entered the contest in time, the Blendtec giveaway, I plan to make a smoothy with fresh orange juice and a frozen banana and peaches and a spoonful of flax. I tried one at jamba juice and was so good I wished I could make them at home for my family, it would be lots more economical to make it at home and I could use other berries instead of peaches, I could use frozen fruit and have a Blentec party making fruit smoothies, yay!
100% s
Fruit and veggie smoothies. Let the blending begin!

The very first thing I’d make is a raw carrot ginger soup. I saw a demonstrator at Whole Foods make it once and gave us all little samples. It was delis! I tried to make it at home with my regular blender, but it was gritty, gritty, gritty!
