Blendtec Blender Giveaway!

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.  🙂

Blendtec Blender and Jar GiveawayHappy 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

Giveaway rules:

  • To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment attached to this post telling me what you plan to make in your Blendtec blender. (If you are reading this through email, you must visit the blog to leave your comment.)
  • One extra entry if you follow Pennies on a Platter (@penniesonaplatt) on Twitter.  Leave a separate comment telling me you do.
  • One extra entry if you follow Blendtec (@Blendtec) on Twitter.  Leave a separate comment telling me you do.
  • A total of two (2) extra entries allowed.
  • Giveaway open to U.S. residents only.
  • Contest closes Saturday, November 17th at 10:00PM EST.
  • Winner will be announced next week at the top of this post.  Winner will also be notified by email.  If a response is not received within 1 week of being notified, a new winner will be chosen.
  • This giveaway is sponsored by Blendtec. The blender is factory restored, just like the one I was provided, however, the jars are brand new.

Good luck, everyone!!  If you do not see your comment(s) right away, be patient as it is a little more difficult to moderate the comments from my phone, as I’ll be doing while I’m on the roast. 🙂  Although I’m traveling, rest assured I’m coming back tomorrow with a recipe.  🙂

  7. 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.

My family loves smoothies, soups, salsa, cheesecake and so many things that I plan to try with this blender, but I would be most excited to see what it could do with bread recipes as I haven’t had much luck in that department with my current appliances. Thanks to blendtec and to you Nikki for your great blog!

  163. 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!

    Reply

  164. 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.

    Reply

  166. 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.

  183. I’d love to make my own peanut butter at home. We go through a ton of it for me and my son, and being able to experiment with it would be amazing!

  193. I would love to win a good blender. I grind ginger and garlic often to make a paste for all my indian cooking. Ginger always gets stuck in the blades and it’s always quite the challenge to blend it. I look forward to winning this quality blender to make this less of a chore every week!

    Reply

  198. Hello! I happened upon your website recently from a posting of one of your recipes on pinterest. Great site! I will be back!

    I would make smoothies daily and probably soups, ice cream and of course Margarita’s. 🙂

  217. I would love to make smoothies (real blended ones not like the one I make in my “blender” that are chunky or watery – no happy medium!) and cream soups.

    I am following you and Blendtec on twitter! @AmyBReed

  224. 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!

    Reply

  225. 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 :))!

    Reply

  236. Smoothies…I want a blender that I can make a smoothie with lots of ice and I don’t have to keep turning it on and off to stir it up..I think this would do the trick!!

    Reply

  245. 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!

    Reply

  246. 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.

    Reply

  251. I would use this to puree pumpkin, cooked sweet potatoes, and tomatoes for all the yummy soups this season brings. I will also be using it to make smoothies and hide all the supplements I need to get into my child with challenges.

  272. What would I make with this amazing blender? Let’s see… Smoothies, smoothies everywhere! Pumpkin soup, banana ice cream (and other soft fruit ice creams too?). The fiancé loves his homemade habanero salsa, which would be even more awesome made in this.

  284. I use my current blender almost every day, so I know I would get tons of use out of one of these! We make smoothies a lot!

  289. You already have your decorations up? Ack. I’m hoping to get a headstart, but not until after Thanksgiving. Good luck with the home down payment, too. So, yeah. I’ve been wishing to own a blender like this. I make a lot of homemade cream soups, so would love to have a blender that can handle that job.

    Reply

  297. Smoothies! Delicious blueberry smoothies! I’ll be able to add some raspberries too, since the Blendtec pulvarizes those seeds.

    Reply

  302. I would make some green smoothies, because I’ve read that is great for your health! I’d also make soups, and ice creams and so many dips and pestos! I’ve seen amazing recipes the last few months made with a blendtec – it has made this product hit the top of my must have devices lol! 🙂

    Reply

  307. I want a power blender so bad! I write cookbooks for folks with food allergies and a power blender would make testing recipes so much easier. I have a cuisenart blender that doesn’t even like to make mayo.

    I would would make nut butters, coconut butter, mayo and loads more with my new Blendtec Blender.

    Thanks.

  308. I would love to win this Bledtec blender to make baby food, smoothies, ice cream, salsa… and the sorts. My husband broke our other one.

    Great idea coming home to a decorated house!

  323. Wow, what an awesome giveaway!!

    Also, I’m slightly jealous that your tree is up. As much as I am a firm believer in “respecting the turkey”, I am also a sucker for Christmas lights! Enjoy your travels and time with family!!

  326. 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

    Reply

  338. I will make everything possible with this blender! Ice cream, smoothies, sauces, dips… Everything our dairy- and gluten-free household needs to make!

    Reply

  340. 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! 🙂

    Reply

  347. What a timely giveaway!
    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!

    Reply

  348. 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.

  357. If I won the Blendtec blender, I would make a tropical smoothie with frozen strawberries, mango, fresh lilikoi juice, yogurt, and ice cubes. Sweetened with honey.

  366. I think the first thing I would try would be a coffee shake. Congratulations on getting your Christmas lights up and enjoying them.

  369. Oh my gosh – what WOULDN’T I make in a blendtec? Margaritas and homemade salsa would probably be first though!

    Reply

  371. I have been wanting a food processor for a really long time. I use a blender every day for protein shakes so to have something that would do both would be such a space saver! In addition to my protein shakes I would make hummus regularly. Mmmmm. 🙂

    Reply

  405. smoothies are always a favorite – might be fun to try making something like hummus in a blender instead of a food processor!

    Reply

  428. 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 😉 )

    Reply

  434. 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. 🙂

    Reply

  454. The thing I will be making the most in my wonderful Blendtec would be smoothies. I am starting back on my Body by Vi Smoothies and I really really need and want a Blendtec. It would be a wonderful early Christmas present.

  456. I would mostly make smoothies and “ice cream”! yum! my current blender can barely handle frozen fruit anymore 🙁

  459. Ooohhh I would probably make smoothies for my young kiddos and myself first. Then a million other things shortly afterwords 🙂

    Reply

  472. 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.

    Reply

  478. 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. 🙂

    Reply

  497. 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.

  505. I just found out I am expecting and my other kids are 9 and 7 so I don’t have my baby food make anymore. I would love to use this for healthy smoothies, ice cream and yummy soups for now and baby food in the near future.

  513. What would I make? What wouldn’t I make?? Smoothies, cream sauces, hummus, nut butters…pretty much everything!

  515. Smoothies,soups cocktails.I suppose I learn what it can do and put it to the test. Sure would like to win it. Thanks,Blendtec!

    Reply

  521. 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)

    Reply

  524. i would use it to make hummus, smoothies and nut butters

    i would love it for making some butternut squash soup for thanksgiving! nice and creamy

    my food processor just doesn’t cut it for any of these things!

    Reply

  526. 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.

    Reply

  529. 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!

    Reply

  534. Smoothies would probably be the most common use – but I’d also love to try pureeing tomatoes for preserving juice/sauce!

    Reply

  549. 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.

    Reply

  556. I’m going to make smoothies! My daughter says you gotta drink em and the Blendtec is the only way to make them.

    Reply

  561. 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!

    Reply

  564. 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!
