So I planned to post this giveaway last week, as a follow-up to my Mother’s Day recipes. You know that saying “your eyes are bigger than your stomach”? … Well, I guess my plans were bigger than my presence.
With the official release of my book, and preparing for my book signing (photos coming), fitting in a blog post was far too much for this author/mama-of-three last week. I think it’s for the best anyhow. Because us mamas should have more than one day a year to be acknowledged for all that we do! Right? I say we celebrate ourselves every month. Let’s start with a chance to win a Blendtec!
You guys know I love my Blendtec. I’ve talked about it many, many times. In Plant-Powered Families, I make a lot of use of both my Blendtec and food processor. Prepping family meals is a great deal easier with these appliances, and I use my Blendtec the most. Every day. Often 2-3 times a day. Green smoothies in the wildside every morning for the family. Later, I often use the wildside again for sauce mixes (like Mac-Oh Geez or Creamy Fettucine from PPF), or I use the twister jar for all sorts of blends like salad dressings, chia puddings, vegan cheese blends and more.
Blendtec is helping me celebrate the release of Plant-Powered Families by providing one of you with an incredible prize… a Designer 725 blender and the Twister Jar!
Thank you Blendtec for providing this prize to one of my very lucky readers. Enter below, kids!
Bits and Bites, some reviews and press for Plant-Powered Families:
Kim Lutz shares her review and the recipe for No-Bake Granola Bars.
The Humane Society shares recipe for Artichoke Sunflower Burgers.

I would love this blender to mix up her formula and later baby food. And for me, lots of yummy salad dressings and sauces. Thanks for the chance!
Jenn
I’ve been trying to hold off until my ordinary blender dies out before replacing it with something fancy like the Blendtec. But, I’m constantly running into recipes that just don’t get quite smooth enough in my ordinary blender. Most recently, I bookmarked your Potato, Shallot, and Pepper Frittata, which looks like it’d be much easier with a fancy blender!
Monika
Wow! What a giveaway! I hope it is worldwide because I would love one of these! Congratulations Dreena for your book launch 🙂 !

Caridawn
This blender would be a nice win just in time for Summer! Along with healthy smoothies, I like to make blended iced lattes with almond milk, organic chocolate syrup, and a little coffee extract. This saves a lot of money but the problem with making them at home is then you have three a day!! I recently received two vegetarian cookbooks for Mother’s Day. They contain lots of scrumptious recipes so I would use this blender for dips and sauces as well!
Sylvie
I would make smoothies and nana ice cream!
Lindsay
Green smoothies!
Sarah Z.

I am just starting changing to a vegan lifestyle and am looking forward to checking out your new cookbook. I make a green smoothie for breakfast most morning and have used my blender with a few soups as well but there are still so many things I would like to try, e.g., making my own hummus and nut-based salad dressings. With summer almost here I hope to try making some “nice” creams and fruit sorbets. Yummm…. Thanks for this chance to win.

So many vegan recipes call for pureed nuts, but my old blender just doesn’t have the power to turn them into cream. Would love to make some nut-creamy salad dressings this summer.
Angelique Miller
I bought a Blendtec about 6 years ago and used it literally every single day, sometimes multiple times a day, for everything: smoothies, hot drinks, sauces, dressings, desserts. It was life-changing. Then I gifted it to someone who needed it. I do feel a bit lost now without my awesome Blendtec and no longer make smoothies or those healthy, and mostly raw vegan, foods. Would love to get that back in my life!
Jennifer
I currently have a Vitamix BUT I would love to have have a BlendTec – I have had my eye on them for a while. I read bloggers and watch YouTube of the BlendTec user like you, Dreena, and Jason Wrobel for example. They look amazing! I do LOTS of smoothies, dips, spreads, dressings, etc. I really want to see what the differences are with vegan ice creams…I heard it even has an ‘ice cream button’. I would also LOVE to try any/all of the recipes you mentioned! I’ve been a fan since the first book! So far my favorite recipe of yours that is from the 2nd book, I believe was the Vickie’s Quinoa Hummus Casserole which I still make often! Fingers crossed I win BUT good luck to everyone else, too!
Pat
I have another blender (N****) for 2 yrs now and I am not totally satisfied with it. It never worked properly for me.
I use my blender most everyday. I’ve been getting so aggravated with it. What would I do with Blendtec:
I have PPF ebook and would love to make all the recipes in it.
marciat
I’m beating a diagnosis by changing my diet to plant based and am loving learning how to cook all over again. I have inspired a lot of other people who taste my delicious food and are joining me on tge path to healthier lifestyles. having a Blendtec would be a small miracle for my house. Aside from the giveaway I thank you for teaching me so much with all your knowledge. You have changed my life.
slj
I’ve always wanted to try making cashew cream and similar sauces, but with no high speed blender I can’t! Would love one of these 🙂

My old Vitamix finally died, and a friend recommended replacing it with a Blendtec, so this would be a dream prize. I’ve been going crazy without a high-powered blender, as I used mine every day for smoothies, sauces, etc.

GiGi
I will do my almond milk/smoothies and also the vegan burger lentil that my family love. I keep checking on Craiglist to see if there is one available for cheaper. My black and decker food processor died 8 months and I haven’t replaced it yet:( winning blendtec blender will be winning the lottery!)
Sharon
I’d make smoothies, sauces, almond milk and much more!
Jenn
Oh la la! Pick me:)
Audrey

I would love to win the blendtec – what couldn’t I make? My nut cheeses and ice creams would be smoother, and that’s just the beginning!

Holly M.
I would make Green Tea smoothies.
Sandra Valdo
Do I feel lucky? Being my birthday today I am hopeful this would be a gift I can not afford! grin emoticon I would so use the Blendtec daily! I would replace the juicer on my counter with the Blendtec immediately. SO MANY great recipes you have shared I am not sure which I would start with? I’d probably give it’s first whirl making hummus. I presently use a hand held blender…which does not make it as smooth as the Blendtec would. Thank you Dreena
Sandra Valdo
I wish to respond what I posted on FB! 🙂 Do I feel lucky? Being my birthday today I am hopeful this would be a gift I can not afford! grin emoticon I would so use the Blendtec daily! I would replace the juicer on my counter with the Blendtec immediately. SO MANY great recipes you have shared I am not sure which I would start with? I’d probably give it’s first whirl making hummus.

I make a green smoothie every morning in my ancient blender – I would love to make them in a Blendtec!
Meredith
I would try a vegan creamsicle ice cream recipe I saw not long ago!
Elaine
one of your very wonderful salad dressings !!
James
I would make EVERY NUT BUTTER! We have a frustratingly small selection available here, and usually they’re blends (hazelnut and cashew, cashew and chocolate, etc), so it would be amazing to be able to make them from scratch (and save some money).
lindsey
I totally need this blender. Can’t wait for the new book!
marie
I would make almond butter, also banana ice cream.
Kristina
Nut butters! And also vegan ice cream. And all the recipes that call for cashew cream. Oh, and green smoothies.

I would use my lovely new Blendtec Designer 725 blender to start a reboot (http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/) with green smoothies and while juices!
Michael
I would love to do more smoothies, and also things like mayo and sour cream (vegan of course) which would save some cash and some chemical ingestion.
Linda Bradshaw
I would make a smoothie first. After that I am not sure. I have just been wanting a smoothie so bad.
GTaylor
OMG!!! About five million things! Off the top of my head, I would say: raw buckwheat porridge with raspberries, cashew cheese, dressings, guacamole, nut and coconut butters, lovely smoothies, soups and…HUMMUS!!!
Janet Wales
Breakfast on the run! I would love to take smoothies with me to school, and make soups for after a long day at work. All Plant Powered, of course!

jane
The possibilities are endless!!! What about that Spicy Sweet Potato Hummus recipe of yours!! SOUNDS DELISH!! Thank you for such an awesome duo giveaway!!!
Celeste
Gosh, I would use the Blendtec for a lot of things. I have a Ninja and I hate it. It’s worthless for making anything on the dry side of mixing, like pesto. It works fine as long as you add enough liquid to get it moving. I would love to make my own sun butter if I could!
jane
I would make Nana Icecream!! YUM!!!
Christine (The Raw Project)
Such a great giveaway, thank you for the opportunity. I’ve always wanted to work with Blendtec!
Ali

Stephanie
popsicles
Jodie
Congrats on the release of PPF’s!! I’m so excited for the family advice you have included to share, awaiting my pre-ordered copy, with a 2 1/2 year old and brand new baby – my girls will be benefiting from endless smoothies, puddings, ice “creams”, Dressings, and sauces! Thank you For your amazing work!
Terri
I would do everything with a Blendtec 🙂 we love smoothies and dips and sauces!
Denise Levesque
I dream of having a Blendtec blender, I would be the happiest woman ever! I can see mysef making all kinds of soups and homemade flours and pancake mix and whatever else, and I just love all your books Dreena!
jeanne
I would make almond butter!
Jocelyn Pooler
I would make tons of green smoothies (my kids are huge fans but our blender is wearing out.) Probably mix up some dressings and sauces as well.
Susan
i’d start with your white bean guacamole. Sounds ymummy! Of course this is also the time of year for banana ice cream!
cindy
Oh I can only imagine what I could do & learn! Trying SO hard to get my family on board with plant strong diet. I skip as well… But how fun it would be to learn how to cook/ blend with a blendtec!! Thank you!
Arlene Lafosse
I’d love to make some cashew cheese that came out perfectly smooth – and definitely nut butters!
KriSTA
I would make ice cream….my favourite.
Jennifer
With a blendtec I would make smoothies with greens my kids won’t eat now and more plant based sauces!
Iris
What would I do with my new Blendtec? What wouldn’t I do?? Smoothies, vegan ice cream, pureeing fresh sauce our soup ingredients, date paste, healthier version of nutella.. it would be busy from morning until night! Oh, and my hubs would be easily making his awesome ground buckwheat breakfast pudding! What a gift this would be for someone who lives a healthy vegan, grain free, lifestyle, especially since my veggies need to be either blended into a smoothie or cooked for me to be able to digest them… Hoping for a “win” here
Last but ertainy not least – thank you for all you share!
Iris Koller
Debbie
I would make nut butters, smoothies, vegan batters and sauces!!! The list would be ENDLESS!!!
Josiane
Congrats on the new book! It sounds awesome, which is not surprising to me since I’ve really enjoyed your previous books.
The Blendtec would be useful in all kinds of ways, especially considering the Twister jar is included! Smoothies, hummus, sauces would be made regularly, for sure, although the one thing I’d really want to try right now in that blender is ice cream or sorbet. Summer is here, and so are seasonal cravings!
Katie Haysom
I would love to make vegan cheeses with this. I am nursing a baby and he cannot tolerate lactose. I am working toward a plant based diet and this would be a great way to get there (in combination with Dreenas book, of course).
rebecca
I would make a creamy veggie soup with a cashew base 🙂
Katherine
I would make smoothies and mac-oh-geez sauce
KellyC
All kinds of nut butters!
Cindy Badger
I have an old vitamix that does the job but doesn’t do it as well as a new blend tech would! Pick me!
Dvorah
With my new Blendtec I’d make many of the amazing recipes in Dreena’s books, including the green smoothie!
Vicki Garnick
I keep burning my blenders out! Might need a better quality blender for my smoothies!! LOL!
Gen
I could finally implement smoothies without chunks into my routine!
Michaela T
Eeeee! Thank you for the chance! Love love the book- we are new to plant based eating, so your book has been so helpful!
Lori Andersen
I would absolutely love to win this BlendTec for my daughter!!! She cooks, prepares and bakes All the Food for my 5 yr granddaughter!! Lucy has numerous and severe allergies to so many foods. Her allergist says she is One in a Million in severity and number of food allergies. But my daughter is very creative in making her what ends up being a mostly Plant-Based diet. No nuts, dairy and many other foods! They have their first garden this year which is exciting! My daughter makes Smoothies, many types of hummus, does ongoing baking, and this special prize would be so very welcomed in the kitchen of parents who spend so much time each day making healthy and safe foods for Lucy!! This is a little girl who cannot eat anything from a restaurant due to risk of contamination of even the slightest food she is allergic to! I am so proud of the healthy foods they make for my granddaughter!! Regular blenders just don’t handle the workload!! This would make their life in the kitchen much less of a struggle! 🙂 Thanks, Dreena, for being such an amazing Plant-Powered role model and Mama!! You have deeply inspired me as well as my daughter in the Kitchen! XO
Erin
Lot’s of soups
Allyson

Jenn WONG
Green smoothies for the kiddies 🙂
David
Smoothies, Soups, dressings, yum!
Congratulations on the new book!
Alexandra
I’ve been dreaming of a high speed blender for many years and saving for it but something else always gets priority over it! So for now I’m using a handhled blender and a mason jar and feeling quite limited in what I can make.
I would make delicious green smoothies with greens that are tougher to blend (kale!), I would make cashew cream, ice cream , and all the delicious dips you have in your book that I didn’t even try making yet for lack of a good blending device 🙂
Debbie
What would t I make?? Spinach artichoke dip, life affirming nacho dip, and crazy brownies to start with!
Lindsey hoy
Let’s see…hummus, salad dressings, really smooth smoothies, and so much else. Thank you for a chance to win something I could never afford to buy.
Laloofah
Congratulations on your new book launch! I hope every vegan family is inspired by it – and that it inspires many more families to go vegan! 🙂
We’ve been wanting a BlendTec for a gazillion years, but in our resolve not to acquire more belongings we swore we wouldn’t get one until our 10-year old Waring blender finally crapped out beyond repair. So of course, it appears to be immortal. I think we’d happily waive our self-imposed minimalist rule if we won a BlendTec, however! 🙂 Heading into summer, we’d mainly use ti to whip up fruit and veggie smoothies, hummus and other dips & spreads, and some homemade nut milks, and that yummy looking fettucine Alfredo sauce. By fall, though, it’ll be soup time!
Thanks for sharing some of your recipes via your fellow bloggers, putting out a great vegan cookbook, and giving us an opportunity to win a BlendTec!
Shana Kuipers
Smoothies, salad dressing, soups, cashew cream, almond milk, ice cream. My Vitamix is on it’s last leg and I could REALLY use this.
Lynsey Dale
Lots and lots of smoothies!!!
Shannon
Cashew cheese! My current blender doesn’t handle raw cashews very well, especially in recipes that aren’t liquidy. 🙂
Mary P
Banana ice cream!!
Julie
red lentil hummus & smoothies!
Helen Sweeney
I am always jealous of the people with high speed blenders. So many sauces were ruined in my food processor… Too grainy 🙁 I’d make sauces and ice-creams and prep food. Considering where we are financially, I will not be buying one any time soon – so winning is my only hope.
Denise
Smoothies, pesto, you name it.
noelle
So great! i would make lots of nut and seed milks!
Heidi
I would make so many things! I currently have a vitamix but it is so hard to clean certain things out of the jar- like puddings, vegan sour cream, butters. I make green smoothies numerous times a week- so that would be a big one for me!
Ellen
I would make Spiced Caramel for Apple Nachos Supreme!
Sarah sawchuk
I would make beautifully smooth cashew nut cream!
Chhaya
I would definitely try a vegan cheese recipe! Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

Nikki Nisly
What a giveaway! I would make some delicious nutbutters!
Amila
It would be a great present. Thank you Dreena!
Katie
What wouldn’t I make?! I would probably start with a smoothie for breakfast, hummus for lunch, almond butter for a snack, and finish with a soup for dinner!
Kelly F.
I made the creamy vegan fettuccine recipe recently and it was delicious! Our blender gets a lot of use and is on it’s last leg; fingers crossed for a new Blendtec & more fabulous recipes to try!
Terri Cole
Hummus! Plus green smoothies, salad dressings, sauces and SO much more!
Courtney H.
I would use it to nourish my family with clean, plant-based, homemade foods — nothing packaged, nothing with animals, nothing harmful to them, animals, the environment, the world.
DEbbie
What wouldn’t I make? That would be a much shorter list. lol But I would make smoothies, enchilada sauce, soups, and so on and so on. 😉

Deb h
Sauces and dressings and drinks…
Heather B.
There’s no end to what I’d prepare with a Blendtec! All those lovely recipes that call for soaked nuts or dates… yes! I’d love to be able to whip up a vegan mac n’ cheese or make a fabulous smoothie!
Annette McDonald
I want to try everything from a to z with this blendtec. I haven’t had a blender in years. I want! I need!
Sue
I’d make salad dressings and smoothies with the Blendtec.
Rita
Oh boy, what WOULDN’T I do?! First thing, I’d make some chia seed pudding and be happy not to have it all crunchy (right now I have an immersion blender, and it’s a bit limited in what it can do!). Then I’d make a big batch of spinach-artichoke dip, or maybe something that requires soaked cashews since I could skip the soaking step with a Blendtec! 🙂
Susan
Oh wow…the things I could make! Salad dressings, smoothies, nice cream, all sorts of goodies
JuliannieM
Red Lentil Hummus. I’ve heard good things about it. Can’t wait to try it!
Theresa Bass
I would love to make sauces and soup and bake a veggie Shepard pie Using the Blendtec if I win!

Paula
It’s smoothie season, so I’d start with a big green smoothie first if I won! Thanks for the giveaway, & congrats on your new book! !
Apricot
I’m all about blender hummus and blender cheese sauces. And I would be able to make my morning smoothies using something other than baby spinach!
Shira
I’d make smoothies of course!
Deb
I would use it to make sauces, grind oats into flour, make dressings and chocolate pudding. Smoothies for the little kids and their Papa and Mommy. I would make your amazing Raw Vegan Blueberry Ginger Ice Cream (especially now that Summer is here)! I would use it for making soup-gazpacho and corn soup in the summer and too many to mention when it’s cooler. And then…I would consider giving it to my son and daughter-in-law, who are currently without a blender, so they could begin to make more and more plant-based meals!
What a great giveaway!! Thank you!!
Jessica R
Ahhh, Blendtec – how great would it be to win you?!
Marissa
I would use it for my smoothies, baby food, and treats for the kids at my vegan daycare 🙂
Courtnie
I’d use it to make smoothies!
Christine
Well, now I am laughing at myself because I think I am mistaking the scraper tines in the twister jar lid for a plunger.
Sferd
I would make hummus since I prefer ‘blender hummus’ to ‘food processor hummus.’ With the BlenTec ‘Twister’ jar, I would have to try making my own peanut and almond butters!
ABigail
I would make smoothies galore!!!! And soup too!!!!! 🙂
Lena
Would love to make healthy smoothies for my two growing boys!

Gen
I would use the Blendtec to make smoothies, hummus and baby food!
Erin
Smoothies, soups, dressings, marinades, etc…the list could go on and on!
Carrie H.
Wait, cancel that reply. I saw Carrie Kennedy and assumed it was me. But it’s another Carrie. Geez…..I think I’ll need to make some brain food with that Blendtec. HAHAHA!!!
kate s.
i would make creamy sauces! I love cashew cheesy creamy sauces but with my current blender there are always little chunks in the bottom!
Jennifer Kellogg

Christine
In response to the contest question of what I would make with a new Blendtec blender, my answer is a question in return. :o) What would I NOT make with it?!!! I’ve been hankering to get my hands on one of these. I have a Vitamix and I love the power, but the plunger doesn’t work well. I love the look of the Blendtec plunger. I think it is a much better design and the twister jar looks great for those small things I like to do like make singer serving sizes of nut butters and dressing.
K spencer
I would make smoothies, mainly. But this would also be handy for dips and many of the vegan meals that I make for our family.
Cadry
I would make a great big green smoothie!
