I live in Colorado and my sister lives in Germany and we were so ready for some sunshine. Luckily in Colorado we get a lot of sunshine but we also get the occasional heavy snowfall and very cold weather. Germany on the other hand has had the darkest winter in 62 years with only 96 hours of sunshine. My poor sister, I can’t even imagine. Luckily we had the chance to escape our winter homes and run away to Cancun/Riviera Maya for the annual Food & Wine festival. We were very excited to be able to enjoy the ocean breeze and glorious sunshine together. Some of you even followed our adventures via Twitter, Instagram, and Vine, and of course on our Facebook page.
When Blendtec sent me this lovely blender I knew I had to make something that made me excited for our trip to Mexico and that is when I came up with a tropical pineapple and mango granita. Let me just back up and say how impressed I am with this blender.
When this blender arrived it felt like Christmas morning. I decide to test the power of this baby and add pineapple and mangos. It chopped the fruit into smithereens in seconds and puréed it with no problem. I know my old blender good enough to know it would have had some serious trouble puréeing this fruit. Not only is this Blendtec powerful but it is also sleek looking with its high-tech digital display. The blender also comes with a cookbook with so many recipes I am so excited to try out.

Would love to make, well what can’t you make? Great product. This would def feed my nut butter addiction and make great green smoothies.
I subscribed to Blendtec’s emails. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would make smoothies, all sorts of nondairy milks, nut and seed butters, and a million other things. Thanks for the giveaway.
What a giveaway! I just happen to be in the market for a good blender, and I think I would make a batch of hummus, or peanut butter, or a Margarita, or almond milk, or, I don’t know, maybe I’d just start with a coffee milkshake!
Wow! That is a great giveaway. I’d love to make some great smoothies and nut & seed butters with the Blendtec.
I would love to make almond butter with the twister jar!
