GIVEAWAY CLOSED: Blendtec Total Blender Giveaway ($575 value)!
This giveaway has now ended and the lucky winner is Jessica Grant. Thanks to all for participating!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I have a confession to make.
I frequently purchase processed almond milk. It’s a confession that makes my sister-in-law cringe. She’s a student at Bauman College and is learning the ins and outs of nutrition and has counseled me numerous times on the benefits of making fresh almond milk due to the added Vitamin D2, various gums, or other synthetic vitamins added to the store-bought kind. In my defense, I do purchase the Organic Whole Foods brand that has the smallest amount of additives. When it comes to confessions, this isn’t the worst health crime I could commit, but I have been wanting to change it. I’ve made almond milk in my juicer a few times, but it’s a bit of a process and the cleanup is not easy. With the amount of milk I use in a week, buying it was just the most convenient.
Oh how a high-speed blender has changed my life. I used to tell people that the number 1 investment to make when going grain-free is a food processor. I still use mine all the time, but I would have to say that investing in a high-speed blender will now go to the top of my list. We were never able to afford it in the past, so I borrowed my mom’s any chance I could get and would even make field trips to her house just to make cashew and almond butter when I needed it. After using her “other” brand, I can honestly attest to the claim that Blendtec is the superior high-speed blender.
The first thing I made was cashew butter so I could make a loaf of my Paleo Sandwich Bread. The Blendtec Total Blender stays on my counter while the rest of my appliances go in my pantry because I use it so often. Oh and it actually fits underneath the cabinets, assembled and all! In the past few weeks I’ve made everything from almond milk to pizza dough. My nut butters and salad dressings get creamy in a matter of seconds, due mostly in part to the Twister Jar accessory part.
Creamy Cashew Butter Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Method
- Place the cashews and oil in the Twister Jar and press the “batter” button. Rotate the lid counterclockwise while the cycle is running.
- Scrape down the sides, then pulse a 3-4 more times to ensure a smooth consistency
That’s it! With the other blenders I’ve used, I’ve had to stop the blender a dozen times to stir the butter and scrape down the sides. This one makes the process so much quicker.
The blender can eat through anything, even an iPhone! While there’s a ton of features that have really impressed me with this machine, I think my favorite part are the touch buttons to control blending. When a cycle button is pushed, the blender automatically speeds up and slows down, then shuts off when the cycle is complete, so recipes turn out perfect every time. You can chose between Ice Cream, Ice Crush, Soups, Sauces/Dips, Batters, Dressings, Whole Fruit Juice, Smoothies and more. You can also control the blender with the “pulse” button or by simply pressing the “speed” button up or down. I also love the single blade design because it means less of my sauce, butter, or dough gets wasted underneath the blade where a spatula can’t reach.
I could go on and on about the benefits of this blender, but you can read all about them on their website. Let’s just get the giveaway started!

At over $9 per jar, the first thing I would make would be cashew butter! I bought cashew butter to make your sandwich bread for the first time this week and nearly fainted in the aisle when I saw the price. I’ve just recently started eating more nourishing food and have been making one of your recipes almost daily for the last couple of weeks. You give me hope I can continue to eat this way with your delicious recipes. Thank you!

I just taught my mom to make her own almond flour this weekend, but she uses this little coffe grinder-Esque appliance that only lets her do about a cup at a time. This would be so much better go make her almond flour quick bread with. Thank you for your posts! They are amazing!

I will make daily green drinks! And experiment with different green drink recipes. Due to health issues, it is imperative for me to get my daily green leafy veggies in as much as possible.
Winning this blendtec, I will try something with almonds, cashews, coconut oil and carob powder … frozen “sweeties” for my grand-childrens …
Definitely make cashew butter! Great recipe. This blender looks like a workhorse, I’m sure it will last many years.

I would make almond butter as the first recipe when I win. We love it and, while it’s fairly easy to make in my food processor, I’d love to see how easy it would be with this blender. Then, I’d move on to coconut milk and almond milk.
Here is my tweet: https://twitter.com/LauriRottmayer/status/224460808342614018
Oh my goodness I cant decide what I would make first but it would probably be almond milk or coconut milk. Okay we will go with almond milk.

Oh I would LOVE A Blendtec blender! I have been following your blog for about a month now. My son is autistic and I have developed some food allergies of my own. So your recipes have been delightful! I do think the first thing that I would make with this would be pizza dough. My son LOVES pizza which is the hardest thing for him about being gluten-free. It would be nice to make a gluten-free dough that he could enjoy. If I make it, it is usually grainy and he won’t eat it. The only one hr has even sort of liked was when I made an almond flour one. Here’s to my chances! I hope I get lucky!!
I have liked you and blendtec on facebook.
I would love to make that creamy cashew butter. So that’s what I would do.

The pico de gallo and the cashew nut butter would be at the top of my list to try if I were fortunate enough to win the Blend-Tec. I just recently discovered this website and can’t wait to get started with trying out the various recipes!
Thank you for offering the opportunity to register for this prize!
I shared the giveaway on my FB.
First, let me say you have been a blessing to me. I have made several of your recipes and my non-paleo family thank you dearly.
If I were to win the Blendtec, I believe I would make the almond butter recipe. I use almond butter quite often in my recipes, so the ability to make it at home would help greatly.
Once again, thank you for this site. It has help me with my Hashimoto’s tremendously.
I would love to win this, as I’m still using my blender I received as a wedding gift over 30 years ago! I would love to try the cashew butter and homemade almond milk! Thank you!

I can’t wait to make fresh almond butter! Yum!
What an exciting giveaway! I’d love to own a Blendtec! If I was fortunate enough to win this, the first thing I’d make would be cashew butter! YUM!
in all my adult life, i have yet to own a blender – this Blendtec one would be a dream! i would first have to make some classic summer smoothies – and perhaps kick in a bonus of nutrition by adding chia seed!
I will make fresh almond milk every day!
I’d go crazy making nut butters! The blender I have now just isn’t powerful enough and the cleanup is a chore in itself! I’d LOVE one of these to make all the things my family needs!
I want to win a blendtec! I would make the smoothest smoothies!
For sure I will be making that cashew butter first. Promptly followed by the Paleo bread! Yum!

I sooooo need this blender! First, I’m going to make the creamy cashew butter you posted above. Then I’m going to use it to make the delicious-looking sandwich bread. I just bought cashew butter yesterday, and had a hard time finding it….plus, it was so expensive! My current blender has a hard time blending fruit, so nut butter will not be happening right now. I’d never be able to buy this blender, so it would be a dream come true. I just had to order a new food processor. My oldest son put the bowl of my old one on the bottom rack of the diswasher, and it melted
So, although I need a new one desperately, I can only buy so many small appliances at a time!
What a great giveaway! I’d love to try the homemade fruit by the foot. My kids would love that!

I would make the cream of mushroom soup. It looks delicious.
Mmm….so many things to try. But, I think I’d do a kale smoothie first – just to compare it to my wimpy blender.
The first thing I would make would be my own homemade nut butters, using soaked nuts.
What an awesome giveaway!! This is my dream machine.

The top of my list is nut butters – getting rid of peanut butters this month. I want my kids to make and try the different butters. Then I will probably make the white bean cake from smoking hot mom.

Cashew butter. Yum.
Follow you on FB.
I’ve been looking at those for over a year now but haven’t made the plunge … this has me rethinking! I would make nut butters, and my kids would do their smoothies in one on a daily basis.
Also follow Blendtec on FB.
Definitely making homemade almond butter. My food processor and regular blender just don’t cut it!
I would make almond butter. I’m spending way too much on store bought.
The first thing I would make with my Blendtec is butter from my soaked and dehydrated sunflower seeds. I always have to add coconut oil and honey to the seeds in order for them to come together as a butter in my food processor. I have had my eye on a Blendtec for so long, but I was hesitant about the price tag.
Probably my nut mayo recipes! I make them from hazelnuts, pine nuts, pecans & almonds! I can only imagine how smooth they will be!!
Hmmm…I would start with the cashew butter for sure! Next would be almond milk!
I am dying to make coconut butter. Never turns out right with my food processor!
I’d make your grain free white bread first.
I followed you and blendtec on facebook.
Hummus. The first thing I’d make would be hummus.

I have such a hard time getting protein in. So, the first thing I will do if I win is make smoothies followed by natural nut and seed butters. Many thanks! Kelly
I will make almond milk, coconut butter and almond butter. I don’t think I would leave my kitchen until my fridge is packed. Lol. Thank you for this opportunity.
I already follow you on FB and now follow Blendtec on FB as well. Many thanks! Kelly
We have been in a heat wave this summer, I will make ice cream first of I win
And here is my Facebook status: https://www.facebook.com/EASchechter/posts/218482521608305
I’d start out with a banana smoothie. Then maybe a clafoutis batter….
I am so excited about this giveaway! I’m in the same boat that you once were-these fabulous blenders are just very expensive, and not realistic in my budget! The possibilities are endless, but nut butter would be at the top of my list for first things to try!

This would be a great start for us to start making grain free breads. I cannot find anything in the stores and there are so many recipes. It would be great to get my husband’s health back on track! Thank You.
Just went dairy free so I would use it to experiment with making new nut milks!
I’d love to try making smoothies. Thanks for the chance to win!
Drooling over the Blendtec! Right now I probably spend a fortune by purchasing “already made” nut butter products and sauces, and they are certainly not as fresh as being able to whip them up at home on the spot! I would probably make almond milk the very first day I got it!
I want to make raw chocolate almond butter!
In this amazing blender the first thing I would make is smoothies for my daughter and I. We have recently been living gluten and grain free. We want to try an Apple Berry Blast Smoothie. 1 apple, 1cup frozen berries, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, and 1/2 banana. Thanks for doing this giveaway!
The first 2 things I will make once I receive my Blendtec blender are raw almond butter and almond milk. These 2 items are regular staples in my diet. Can’t wait to try them freshly made!

I followed Blendtec and Against All Grain on FB but don’t know how to show that here in the comments
been waiting soooo long to make pizza again
I would totally make Almond milk!! Just before I read your post, I was reading an article on the additives found in store bought almond milk and feeling very guilty about the amount of it I drink!!! I would adore a Blendtec as I was just thinking about where to begin on how to make my own at home!!:)
I’d make a green smoothie for breakfast, almond butter for a mid morning snack with apples, carrot soup for lunch and sorbet for afternoon snack…..
Followjng AAG and Bendtec on FB! The first recipe I would make would be almond butter. I buy mine from Trader Joe’s and I love it but I’ve been wanting to make my own for a while.
This sounds amazing! The first recipe I would make is the cashew butter. It sounds sooo yummy.
I will make my own nut butters!. So good……..
I’ve always wanted to try a green smoothie, but my own blender doesn’t do too well with the spinach or kale, so i’d probably try something like the peaches and green smoothie first, or maybe some cashew butter, or a margarita!
So many choices… but I’d probably pass on the blended iphone:)
I’d totally make almond milk! We usually drink either almond or coconut milk from the store, but it would be so much healthier to make it at home…
I’m enjoying smoothies lately and would most likely make this one regularly with this blender:
Healing Smoothie
1 firm kiwi fruit, peeled
1/4 cantaloupe, with skin
1 ripe banana
1. Push kiwi fruit and cantaloupe through the hopper.
2. Place juice and banana in a blender or food processor and blend until
smooth.
3. Pour into a tall glass
I’m following you and Blendtec on fb as well.
Shared giveaway on Facebook!
The very first thing I’ll make in this Blendtec is my raw vegan GF cashew chocolate ice cream! It’s so delicious, but my blender doesn’t get it as creamy as I’m sure the Blendtec will. My kids would be thrilled.

Can not wait to make grain free bread with the blendtec I won.
Ooooh, I want this blender! If I win the first thing I will make is a batch of your grain-free hamburger buns (http://www.againstallgrain.com/2012/05/25/grain-free-hamburger-buns/)! (((crossing fingers and toes)))
The first recipe I would make is your cashew butter recipe. I have tried to make “butter” recipes in my blender and it is just a pain. You make it sound so easy and not a big deal. Would LoVe that!!!
i can not WAIT to make our own almond milk!
I would definitely make the creamy cashew butter so that I could make another loaf of your bread. We love it, but it is hard to fine cashew butter locally. I hope I win!!
My tweet: https://twitter.com/Jeanne_Goddard
The first thing I’ll make with the Blendtec combo is your yummy looking bread recipe and then I’ll move on to your chicken tikki pizza. This will really help when I start to miss bread. And it will help me feed my two kids a very healthy alternative to grocery store bread. Speaking of kids, the third thing I’ll make will have to be the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.
Yay! Ok I would make the cashew butter first because I really want to try your bread. I already follow you on facebook (Kimberly B. T.) and I just liked Blendtec. I don’t tweet but I did post about the giveaway on my facebook page! Fingers crossed!!
Already following you on Twitter. Following Blendtec now.
If I had this machine, I would put all the “scraps” from after preparing a meal into it. After I cut the harder ends from asapargis, stems from mushrooms, extra fat from steak, among other things used in a meal…those things do not need tossed in the trash. We waste too much as it is-! Those items being liquidfied and transformed into something else, protein shakes ect. Much better idea than wasting, or having animals ransack your trash cans. Our ansestors would have saved every scrap of food.
I would definately make cashew butter, almond butter, sesame and sunflower mix to bake into crackers, I could go on and on!!!!!! this is totally wonderful!!!!!
Almond butter and whole juices would be the first thing I make.
I already follow blendtec and against all grain on facebook, but I absolutely will not make a public post. Anything on facebook is shared to friends only.

I would first make the almond milk, then the cashew butter

I would make nut butter and lots of smoothies! Also lots of pureed veggie soups.
I would make cashew milk! Yummy!
I’m not sure what I would make, but probably I would try your nut butter recipe. I frequently make my cashew cream cheese recipe and get mad when I have to keep adding water to help it blend, so I might have to try cream cheese too!
I’ve would love to make creamy almond butter using the twister jar I’ve heard so much about. MMMMmmmm almond butter with cinnamon and maple syrup.
I would love to try making the cashew butter recipe. My husband also drinks a lot of almond milk, so I would love to make that too!!
If I won one of the first recipes I would make would be have to be by far the Paleo Sandwich Bread! My son was recently tested for allergies and wheat was one of them…. But this little boy loves bread! So I would be making this ASAP to eat immediately!!! Thank you for this opportunity!!
My first venture would be nut butter’s as well. I would love to try a chocolate almond butter.
Twitter Bonus Entry: Here is the link to my tweets where I posted the contest – https://twitter.com/a_m_worthy
After just spending $16 for a small jar of cashew butter, that will definitely be the first thing I make!=)
I would make your grain-free waffles first since I need a blender for combining the eggs, cashews, etc.
I will try that Cashew butter because I am making the bread today and that butter is expensive!! (I ordered a jar)!
I would totally make almond milk the moment it was open and washed!
I also completed bonus entry #2. (@chizzyballs)
I’ve been wanting to make the green smoothie I’ve been seeing on facebook and pinterest and various blogs, but my blender has bit the dust.
So this would be wonderful!
I would use this blender to make some chipotle vinegar dressing to go with some free range pulled pork! Then I would use it to create an some GF/DF/SF ice cream using frozen coconut milk cubes! Yummy!
I would make almond butter. I have been wanting to try my hand at it, but have been hesitant because I don’t have a Blendtec!
Oh, first recipe is an easy one! Totally making your paleo sandwich bread. I’ve been wanting to try that every since you posted it!

If I win, I’ll be making almond milk. And then I’m sure facing some wild days in the kitchen making ice cream and TONS of healthy and dairy free options for my little family. My fingers are crossed – it would be heaven!!!
I already follow Blendtec on Facebook!
I’m obsessed with almond butter…..and all the recipes I make using almond butter. Like you, I have to scrape down the sides and “push” down constantly to keep the almonds flowing and moving. I’d love to be able to push a button and go. I am so excited to compare the 2 in terms of quality and how quickly it will take to make. And, I must confess……I buy almond milk at the store as well. I make a few times but I use so much that it’s sometimes easier to grab a carton and continue on with my recipe. Oops! Would love to be able to make my own as often as I want without the continual, manual “help”.
Thanks!!!!

If I won the Blendtec blender, the first thing I would make with it is almond butter, because I have always bought it in the past!
I posted your giveaway on my Facebook page!!
I would make almond milk. It is such a mess making it with my food processor, but we enjoy it so much more then store bought.
Followed Blendtec on FB
I would try the Chicken Tikka Masala pizza because, to be honest, it sounds crazy, which means it can be crazy good.
I follow you on Facebook, and blendtec.

I would definitely make the Creamy Cashew Butter for the Paleo Sandwich Bread first if I were to win the Blendtec Total Blender!
I can’t wait to try my favorite green smoothie recipe in the Blendtec! Spinach, almond milk, frozen banana, mango and plain greek yogurt. YUM!
I would make almond butter, as I can never get it smooth enough in my cheap-o blender/food processor!
Our family has just begun our journey of healthy eating. I love the recipe for the cashew butter but I would love to start making juices that my 2 1/2 year old would like!
Very excited about the giveaway!
I’d most likely try coconut butter first. Salad dressing would be a second – not that dressing needs serious power, but it would make it fun!
I would love a BlendTec blender. As lactose intolerant, the one thing I’d love to make the most is almond milk, fresh almond milk? Oh heck yeah!!!!
Creamy Cashew Butter
Black bean blended soup, topped with a salsa made fresh from my garden!

I, for sure, would try makng my own fresh homemade nut butter. Followed by some yummy homemade veggie bisque soup.

You have made the Creamy Cashew Butter look so delicious, that is the first thing I would try if I had such a blender, next I would use Coconut Cream Concentrate added to almonds. Woohoo!
I also shared the status updated on facebook!

I would make coconut or almond milk or coconut or almond flour. Which would be used for grain free bread.
I need this really bad. I recently found out I was allergic to 18 different common foods. I have had to change my whole lifestyle. I am now eating more natural foods. I really want to try making my own almond milk and coconut milk. I also want to make my own almond flour and coconut flour. I found that being allergic to so many foods has been a blessing in disguise. I feel and look so much healthier. Now, a lot of my friends and family are starting to change their eating habits too after seeing my results. It makes me feel even better seeing others making better changes.
Sorry I forgot to say that I would definitely make the Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza – sounds delicious!
I would make spicy bacon guacamole
I would love a Blendtec to make my own nut butters!
I would make coconut milk, almond milk and nut butters! I currently have no blender. I’m saving up for a quality (expensive) one because the cheap ones are just a waste of money.

WOW! thanks for the chance to win this awesome prize!!! I think I would be making homemade nut butters! I don’t even try anymore because they always turn out grainy…and the small jar-genius! I would make an avocado chocolate pudding and not have to worry about leaving half of it in the container!
Blessings!

I will make black bean cake if I win this blender along with milks , butters and so much more

I’d love to try your recipe for almond milk! I too love my food processor… and am now curious what a blender could do for the recipe repertoire. Thanks for your blog!
Almond milk! I have never made my own.
Exciting giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity. I would make some cauliflower rice for the first thing if I had that blender!:)
First recipe that I’ll make is Cashew Butter. Then Almond Milk and Almond Butter.
I will definitely make my own nut butter! I have not been able to make nut butter
My blender would not survive the process.

The first thing I would love to make in my new blender is a variety of nut butters! Thank you for the great giveaway!
I would definitely start with the nut butters for the first thing to make, but I would be able to make so many more of your recipes with a Blendtec! I’ve been wanting a good pizza for so long that this would make it a snap.
And I tweeted as Ironmom2011. Thanks!

Cashew butter, NOM NOM!!
I would make your pizza dough.
Almond butter! I eat it by the spoonful and go thru tons of it! I have been buying it at Whole Foods where you can grind your own but it gets spendy.
https://twitter.com/spdrcln/status/224509340869079041
First recipe will probably be a green monster smoothie made with kale, frozen bananas, frozen pineapple, frozen pears, blueberries, and Sunwarrior vegan vanilla protein powder. Topping this smoothie with some homemade almond butter made in the blendtec sounds like a good idea too
GREAT GIVEAWAY!!

If I were lucky enough to win the Blendtec Blender the first thing I’d make is organic peanut butter. I love peanut butter and used to live close enough to a Whole Foods to make my own with organic peanuts at the store. I really miss being able to do that.

Your Creamy Cashew Butter recipe!!!!
I would make almond or cashew butter. This is a great give-away!

This is very exciting….I would love to make cashew butter so I don’t have to buy the expensive version in order to make your cashew-based sandwich bread (which we ALWAYS have on hand). Thank you!
I would make almond milk first if I won the Blendtec Combo. I made it in my food processor the other day and ended up with a huge mess to clean up and had to do in a bunch of small batches. I really want to make cashew butter so that I can make the bread recipe

I have an amazing smoothie and pesto recipe I want to make but our blender is broken.
I would make the tikki masala pizza – I just don’t have a blender that can cream nuts (or even crush ice) properly!
I have so many things I will make with my new blender!!!! I have been limping along with an old Oster(which I am grateful for …but it is severely limited!) I have to choose one for this post, so I would definitely choose to make almond milk, since I am unable to make it now. How exciting that so many things will be easier to make and a new world of items will open to my horizon of food preparations! YAY!!!

I would finally be able to make smooth almond butter. My kids don’t like the consistency of the stuff sold in stores. It would be great to make almond butter from soaked almonds for maximum nutrition.

I would make blender tomato soup for my daughter. she asked for it last nite, and I only have a regular cheapo blender. so I pureed onion and garlic and a can of campbells. not really what she wanted, but she was grateful. it would’ve been nice to blend peppers and tomatoes and carrots too and heat it all at once!
I shared your link on my FB wall!
I like Blendtec and AAG <3
I would make lots of smothies and soups.
I would love to make homemade almond butter!
The right question would be: what I wouldn’t do with a Blendtec? First would be juices and smoothies with Kale (can’t stand the flavor (cooked, sauted, baked) even though I know how wonderfully nutritious it is), then freshly made almond , coconut milk etc… then fresh soups….oh my….what I wouldn’t make for my 3 young girls….
Following agg and blendtec!
I would make many types of nut butters and nut flours! I’m ready for an amazing blender!
I would make green smoothies, since I just burned out the motor in my cheap blender (again).

So many great recipes! I would make the Paleo coconut hollandaise first. Thank you!
I’d probably make smoothies!
I’m on the Candida diet right now so it would make following the diet so much easier! I’d start off trying to make my own milk alternatives and nut butters!!!
I would immediately make homemade coconut butter! Then I would move on to making every other nut butter I could think of.
I would make COCONUT BUTTER!! I try to make it with my food processor and it never gets smooth enough!
If I had a BlendTec I’d start with making smoothies for my family and move on to being able to make even more of my food from scratch. The cashew butter would be on my list.

I would make cashew butter! I do not care for almond butter and gave up peanut butter because I can not control myself! LOL.
I would for sure make my own nut butter since store-bought is more expensive and, as a student, money is low! I would also make smoothies and dressings so my boyfriend would keep the nasty high sugar condiments away!
I hope i win. I tweeted and follow!

I substitute macadamia or hazelnut flour for the almond flour due to an allergy. It usually works out great.
I would make dairy free milk instead of buying cartons of non milk! <3 lydia
Oh, I don’t even know where to start! Since I was recently diagnosed as being intolerant to dairy, gluten, yeast and sugars-whew!, I have been making everything from scratch and learning day by day how to live this new life at 40! I know the first thing I’d use the new blender for would be to create my own nut cheese…raw food that is actually really delicious and would make us for the loss of real cheese! I KNOW I’d use this blender daily in my “new” life and that it would make my life soooooo much easier! Thanks for the opportunity to have this!!!

I would make my paleo mayonaise, my favorite go-to smoothie (coconut milk, any fruits lying around, and almond butter), and I’d love to try your cashew butter recipe! Thanks for doing a giveaway…
I would make every single recipe on your site that requires grinding and liquifiying..starting with your creamy cashew nut butter!! yum!! My cheap blender is taking a beating..starts to smoke each time I try to grind any type of nut for paleo bread, crackers and so on. *sigh* Also want to say thank you for the opportunity!!
That cashew butter looks awfully good! I mainly use my blender for making pesto sauce but since it broke last week I’ve been attempting everything in my hand-me-down food processor :/ I’m excited by all the things you can do with a Blendtec and I think it would take my paleo cooking to the next level! (By the way, I found your blog through the US Wellness Meats newsletter this week and I’m eager to comb through all your recipes!)
I shared, liked FB, & tagged this sweepstake! <3 lydia
I would likely make some sort of summer frozen coconut milk-ice cream treat and then I’d love to experiment with making my own almond milk too!
I would love a Blendtec! I’d like to make more nut butter (my food processor can’t handle nut butter so well) and a creamy vegan cashew cheesecake!
I’d make smooties & Almond milk. My machine just can’t handle it.
I would make gazpacho and all types of green smoothies!
Oh my! This would replace my Cuisinart food processor and Bosch blender that we just lost in our house fire last month. I wouldn’t make almond butter ,paleo granola bars,pesto,&creamy veggie soups .The possibilities are endless!
oh my gosh! i’m giddy with excitement over this giveaway! i don’t know where to start! i’d make cashew cream, homemade nutella, my morning smoothies, all manner of healthy sauces….oh! the possibilities are endless!

the first thing I would make is a yummy green smoothie.
What wouldn’t I make?!?! Nightly smoothie time is a thing in my house so that baby would be sitting on my counter ready to go every night. Also, I am thinking about almond milk, nut butters, maybe some assistance from the Blendtec to make larabars? I would for sure use it to aid me in whipping up pie fillings and soups too!!! I NEED one!!! Well, OK, I don’t really NEED one but I’d REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, LOVE to have one!!!!

Without a doubt, almond butter would be my 1st item.to make in my new machine. Our healthfood grocery is always having issues with their nut butter machine so it is hit or miss for me to get freshly made almond butter on a regular basis. Thanks for this chance to win one. : )
If I win the Blendtec, the first thing I would make is a green smoothie!
I don’t know what I would make first….because there are so many things to choose from! Smoothies, nut butters, almond milk, pesto, salad dressings, vegan chocolate raspberry mouse, berry lemonades, cucumber soup, and lots lots more. Buuuuuuuuuut, I would probably start with almond milk, because that’s something I can’t do with my current blender.
I like both Blentec and AAG on FB, have in fact been following your FB page for quite a while.

I make homemade baby formula to nourish my little one, a new blender would make it so much easier:)
I would make almond milk first thing! I would probably make a nut butter right after that. Maybe a blend of cashed and almond.
I would definitely make the cashew butter if I had the Blendtec. I love cashew butter, but it’s SO expensive from the store. I think I could make it for almost half the cost and that would be awesome!! Then I would be able to try your paleo bread recipe. Right now, if I splurge on cashew butter, I just eat it by the spoonful straight from the jar.
I would make a chocolate banana smoothie. I’ve been addicted all week! I’ve also been looking at a recipe for java chip almond butter.

Oh my goodness where can I start!?!? Maybe a green smoothie for the kids to get to know the blender a bit. But then challenge a nice meal for the family and make Grain-free tacos, refried beans (per request of my daughter) and some quinoa. Then I can make for dessert some chocolate banana muffins. Oh then my poor worked Blendtec would get thoroughly washed and cleaned for the next day of fun challenges

This is amazing!! I have been begging my husband for something like this! First would probably be almond milk, I have never made it homemade and half my fridge is usually full of it!!
I would make a nut milk in my new Blentec!!! I would also make the cashew butter for your amazing sandwich bread recipe.
My current blender isn’t powerful enough so the first thing I would make is cashew butter!

I cannot WAIT to make cashew butter in my new BlendTec – if and when I win! I am so anxious to make Danielle’s grain free sandwich bread and I’m dreading the making of cashew butter in my current blender.
Next would be almond butter because that is my favorite nut butter.
I would make some homemade almond milk! Making it with a regular blender is too big of a pain, so we’re stuck buying it for now
I will make additive free almond milk and smoothies to start!
First I would make cashew butter for the bread recipe, and while that is baking I would make almond butter to spread on top!
I follow against all grain on Facebook!
I made this my status update:
http://www.facebook.com/shanna.tan.3
I would make sunbutter! I would also tackle about a million Pinterest recipes I’ve been hoarding for that glorious day I got a Blendtec!
I am just starting the SCD diet for the second time. I cannot make a lot of the recipes because I dont have a food processor and my blender pretty much sucks. This would be awesome to make some almond or cashew butter and make my time and money go further.
I’m making that cashew butter! w/ sprouted cashews.
I have only been on SCD for two months now, so I could use this for…well….everything. Particularly nut flours, milks and butters. Which are soooo expensive in the stores! I would love to be able to make myself!
I would go simple and make almond butter…. yum, almond butter!
I follow Blendtec on Facebook!
I would make the home made fruit by the foot. We are going on a roadtrip soon and I find difficult to stay Paleo while travelling.

I like you and Blendtec. Thank’s for the opportunity to win!
following Blendtec on FB. was already following against all grain.
I make my shelf the most wonderful cookie recipie. I need this blender to blend everything together. I can taste it now.
I love Frozen Banana/Strawberry Creme…
Just slice 2 bananas and freeze for 2 hours.
Blend until smooth (this is where the magic comes in – at first it just a frozen mess and after a certain point it smooths out to be like “soft serve” ice cream.
Through in 6 slices strawberry and blend.
Enjoy!
I allready follow AAG and now also Blendtec on Facebook!
I would make coconut butter, actually! Blend it all up in here and go to town!

Thank you for this wonderful give-a-way Danielle!!

First thing I would try is making my own almond butter!
a freshly made, all-fruit smoothie with raspberries, blueberries, bananas, milk, and ice~
Would LOVE to own one of these. I would make fresh almond milk to add to my daily smoothies! Thanks for a chance to win.
the almond butter sounds quite tasty!
I am now following BlendTec on FB. I can’t wait to try alot of their recipes when I win! (positive thinking)

My family and I have been going to a “becoming healthy and fit” series at our local library that has really been phenomenal. This is the first time as a family we have made a commitment to eating as much fresh, local and organic food as possible. It has really changed our way of thinking. We have started making green smoothies as we had not been eating enough green leafy vegetables so I would certainly make a green smoothie as my first recipe. My favorite green I have tried thus far has been dandelion greens! Surprisingly delicious. Also I would love to try to make my almond milk as we are also trying to go daily free. Thank you for this opportunity!
I would make the batter for my favorite almond flour pancakes; all of my favorite nut butters; almond milk; and all of my favorite dairy free ice creams! I would also love to try soup – I hear it is pretty amazing in a Blendtec
Almost everything I make is nut based, my 7 year old daughter is on the ketogenic diet to control epilepsy… This would be a VERY helpful addition to my cooking tools! I would make macadamia nut butter to make her macadamia nut waffles. Just 1 egg, 1/4c mac nut butter and a tablespoon of coconut oil. Add cinnamon or sweetener if you want. Cook it for longer than a “normal” waffle so it has time to dry out a little. I love your recipes!
Smoothies- always love them smoothies!
Shared on FB :0)
I would definitely try almond milk and cashew butter first. I too am guilty of purchasing store bought almond milk. We have made it a few times in our old crappy blender, but my daughter refuses to drink it.
Already like AAG on FB and blendtec
I am on the SCD diet and have tried making the almond milk and coconut milk for yogurt making. It is a very messy long process in my blender. It is a 1970′s model if the color is any indication of age. It really doesn’t have the power for the job. I would also probably make more smoothies with kale, spinach and fresh strawberries.
I will make your amazing grain free waffles. So yummy!!!!
I would make cashew butter 1st!!
i would make everything you do!!!! I am really trying to go grain free but it is very expensive, I bought a ninja blender as a cheaper compromise, but it went back after one use for not being as powerful. Oh, and a friend gave me a brownie recipe she does in her blentec that only uses chocolate, raisins, and almonds i think that she said tastes like the real thing!!!! So if I can have brownies that are tasty and grain free I can do without all other food I will miss lol, I am also a follower on FB
I will make almond milk!
Almond milk
And then everything else! I have been using a small cup blender since mine died and it is driving me mad!
Bonus entry – I like both on facebook!
Almond milk would be the first thing I would make! Then almond butter. I don’t own a food processor so I am not able to make some of the butters I’ve been wanting to try! Would love a Blendtec!
I follow AAG & Blendtec on FB & can’t wait to make the chix tikka masala pizza if I were to win!!
I think the first thing I would make would be a smoothie, but I would also love to try this recipe for cashew butter. It sounds great!
I’m making my own nut butter! Probably a blend like MeeNut Butter. Mmmmm. *fingers crossed*

Wow, such a beautiful piece of equipment. It would certainly change my life. I’d make a smoothie every morning and margaritias almost every night. Actually I think I would first try and re create the potatoe leak and bacon soup I had this past winter on vacation that I still crave a second cup to this day!
Oh, my goodness. I have been dreaming of having a high speed blender for so long. It would make following the Primal Blueprint SO much easier.
For me, I would have to choose between immediately making some Coconut Butter or Almond Milk!
Thank you SO much for doing this giveaway!
Paleo Sandwich Bread!
Would it be bad to say that after reading about your experience with the blender, the first thing I’d like to blend is my cell phone, which has been falling apart little by little for the past month or so?!?! I think after the cell phone (and a good clean up!) I would go on a blending binge!!! Of course, I’d start off with my breakfast smoothie (no need to crush that ice ahead of time!) and then head on to some almond butter for a midmorning snack with celery. Lunch would find me back at my blender for some type of bean concoction (hummus? black bean pate? Oh! The endless possibilities!) Then, a lovely apple and carrot juice for a mid-afternoon refresher (can I throw out my juicer now and clear some counter space?!?) Dinner would have to include some lovely pesto or fresh tomato sauce (using up the myriad of tomatoes and basil from that backyard garden!) and for the finale, a wonderful sorbet type dessert made in the blender (frozen pineapple? Cherries? Raspberries? Oh, all three! A trifecta!)
I think if I had this blender, I could clear my counter space of all the gadgets I now use to do the job that this blender could do~ that juicer, the food processor, the cheap blender~ they could all go into the cabinet~ or better yet, out in the local charity pickup!
Homemade mayo!

Honestly, I already have a Blendtec. So why would I enter this? Well, mine doesn’t have the Twister Jar. So if I were to win, I’d keep the Twister, and give the blender itself away! What a fun Christmas present THAT would be for a lucky someone… I have a few recipients in mind
I’d probably make a smoothie or salad dressing first, because those are the most frequent uses of my Blendtec now!
The first thing I will make is cashew butter. I can’t seem to find it at the grocery store.

The first recipe I would make is my morning juice. I do 1 large handful spinach, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1 banana, 1 tbsp. black molasses , 1 tsp. cocao, and 1 tbsp. chia seeds and blend well I add my own almond made milk as well to my pleasure and consistency.
I’d love to make cashew cream cheesecake!

I would love to make the cashew butter – my family is in love with nut butters since recently starting GAPS…my 17 mn. old eats it by the spoonful. And my blender is already a work horse, making kefir smoothies sometimes 3x a day and I know we’ll need to upgrade soon.
I would make some delicious and smooth coconut butter from organic shredded coconut! YUM

I would be in heaven if I won the Blendtec because @ my age(64) it’s a little pricy for me at this time and just can’t see buying one anytime soon. When I started making some ot the recipes on your sight as well as many other I went looking at the blendtec and just said sorry but you won’t be able to come home with me wish you could. And not only would I make your cashew butter for your wonderful bread there are so many smoothies and prestos out there that look fantastic, and it would make my life a little easier for me and my special needs daughter . We also have just gone grain free because were still having problems.

I would love to make my own almond butter. It does pain me to use processed “milks” but I agree there could be worse choices.
I would love to win this blender! My terrible, cheap blender broke when just started my road to eating better. I ended up with green smoothie leaking all over my kitchen. I’m sure this would never happen with the Blendtec. =)

I think I would make almond milk first. I feel guilty, too, every time I buy it from the grocery store. It’d be great to rid my mind of that and have fresher almond milk to drink.
What an amazing tool! Perfect for the 2lb bag of raw almonds that my mother just brought me when my parents came to visit.. I smell almond butter in my future.
I imagine it would also be great for me to make my tomato soups and various salad dressings I have in my pocket.. and once I get done with those.. guess I have to clean it out and make myself a margarita!
I’d make these awesome blender batter waffles that my family loves and we recently discovered on another real food blog!

I would use the blendtec first to teach my paleo reluctant 13 year old boy to make smoothies & soups , who is just learning to cook… Although… the Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza on your page looks like a great start for a teenage boy!
I follow Against the Grain on Facebook.
I would make as much yummy nutritious stuff as possible, including the recipe above and green smoothies, crushed ice etc. We haven’t had a good blender in years, so I would LOVE to win one!
I would begin with the cashew butter. That looks yummy! My husband would even eat that. He loves cashews!
I follow Blendtec on Facebook.
i’d love to try out a blendtec! heard they’re better than vitamix – easier to clean, esp. the bottom part? like you, i’d likely make my almond milk at home, nut mayo, and our everyday smoothies. thanks!
I would love to win this and make alomond milk for me sence I need a lactose free milk and baby food for my 10 month old. It would be great to have a blender that could realy break down some kale.
What couldn’t I make/blend??? I’d have to say I’d probably start with fruit smoothies for my smoothie lovin family!
this blender is on my wish list. Would love to whip up a batch of smoothies for my family. thanks for the chance to win!!
The first thing would definitely be cashew butter, followed by almond flour:)
Oh THANK YOU for hosting this giveaway! I would make my morning smoothie, nut butters for my kids who have peanut allergies, dough for all of our gluten free recipes, and soup soup soup! I

Wow. Thanks for the cashew butter recipe. I would probably make almond butter instead because I would save the cashews for the recipe I would make if I got this Blendtec: Raw Cheesecake. Yum. Seriously. Difficult for even the Vitamix. Not worth the effort to break a regular blender. If you are making cashew butter in this Blendtec Beauty, then it’s definitely got the power for raw recipes! We make daily smoothies, pesto (big batches with basil from the garden), soups, and more in our Vitamix. (Poor thing is starting to huff and puff under the strain.)
Thanks for the chance to win!

I would make a smoothie for my son with autism … He will not eat a veggie on his plate, but make part of dessert and they are yummy
I want to make nut butters and paleo mayo for my coconut wrap chicken salad. DELICIOUS!!!
Also, I followed Against All Grain and Blendtec as A Living Family: http://www.facebook.com/alivingfamily.
Firstly, I discovered your blog today and I LOVE it! Thank you for all the grain-free deliciousness – I’ve been investigating paleo and found the grain-free part sounded really difficult until I came across your blog
A high speed blender… this would be absolutely amazing! Given I can’t see myself affording one anytime soon, I think I’d go a little crazy and make 3 things on my first day (in this order):
1. A perfect green smoothie – my current blender leaves Loads of ‘bits’ of leafy greens everywhere and would love to try a smooth one! Whilst sipping this I would try my hand at number 2 and 3!
2. Nut milk (both hazelnut and almond)
3. Cashew butter, absolutely my favourite nut butter
What a day that would be!
I can’t decide which recipe i would want to make.
The first thing I would make with this fantastic blender would be cashew butter!! Why? It’s impossible to buy in the Caribbean except by mail order and to make it in a regular food processor or blender is almost a total waste of cashew nuts, as soo much product stays in the appliance, which is a big waste as cashews are NOT cheap to buy in a country where almost every thing has to be imported.
The thought of homemade almond milk almost on demand fills me with delight and I’m sure that I would be using all our tropical fruits to best advantage as this blender would make short work of all of them.

I would make smooth, nutritious soups and smoothies for my son. He has autism and textures are an issue for him. It’s really hard to get veggies and fruits in him unless they are purred like baby food. He’s 12 now, so that is really age inappropriate. My blender just does not have enough uummpphh for getting the textures right. This would be great! Thanks
I shared the status on facebook via http://www.facebook.com/sandra.moses13
I think first I would most definitely make chocolate almond milk ~ I love the stuff!!
Wow – this would be awesome. Your cashew butter sounds wonderful – this looks like it would make it easy and creamy!

I would make smoothies, fresh nut butters, and soups in a Blendtec!
I would make nut butter! I have wanted to make it for a long time so as to not have rancid butter, but my blender cant handle it!
Ooo… tough call. Probably grind up some chick peas for chick pea flat bread, or maybe make some yamcakes. They are kinda like pancakes, only yams instead. Or maybe a nice yogurt cilantro mint dip for the flat bread. Honey peanut butter is always a big hit here… GAAAAH!!! So many choices!!
i like you on facebook!
Homemade almond milk sounds amazing!!
The blender I have is a cheap one and I use it almost daily now. Two weeks ago (right before my anniversary that my new diet ruined), my MD turned my world upside down with a grain/soy/dairy free diet on top of my vegetarian one. Found out eggs make me sick too. Needless to say, its been a lot of carrot sticks and kale chips (yes, I even messed up several batches of those) since then. I just got a bag of pecans from my husband’s grandma’s farm and am interested in making some pecan butter if I can get some sort of “bread” or even “cracker” to turn out right. Lots of smoothies would be made, and eventually I’d try almond milk…the almond flour was a bust but maybe this new blender could handle it!
Definitely would love to try the creamy cashew butter if I win the Bendtec! Yummy!
I’ve been making the “White” Bread from your site, but it’s been more of a caramel/whole wheat color. If I’d win the Blendtec, I’d probably give a whirl (no pun intended) at making cashew butter from scratch, to get that lovely pale bread. A new and high-powered blender would be fantastic!
I follow Against All Grain on Facebook! Huge fan.
I can’t wait to make delicious smoothies with this blender. After that, some soups! I’m SO excited, as we’re trying for a healthier lifestyle. Thanks!!
i think i’d like to make pizza sauce and almond milk! cant wait to try it out. my brother rants and raves about this blender:)
I follow Against All Grain on Facebook!!
I would use the BlendTec to make macadamia nut butter so I don’t have to buy it online!
Hi Danielle,
Thank you for this awesome giveaway . I love my Vitamix, but you’ve made a pretty solid argument here for at least considering a Blendtec. This will probably be my next big kitchen purchase.
I have to know, is the cashew butter as creamy as Artisana? I just can’t replicate the consistency in my Vitamix.
So the first thing I would make if I won this fabulous blender is the cashew butter. Then ALL nut butters because they are so darn expensive.
This is my first entry.
Thanks,
–Amber
I would love to win one of these! I saw this machine demonstrated once and was amazed! I already make delicious fruit and veggie popsicles, purees, and sauces with the mediocre blender I have now. Imagine what I could do with this!
Good luck to all.

i would make my own coconut milk and cashew cheeze

Already follow you, now following Blendtech. Pick me!
And by the way, I already make almond milk, but I will make it better and faster with a Blendtec blender!
I would make coconut butter. yummy!
I loved to make a mocha smoothie everyday with this blender.
I am addicted to coconut butter, so that would definitely be on my list of things to make with this!

Hope I win..I will make pizza dough, then bread…and if it worked, i’d make the new rolls you just posted that went with the lamb burger. I can’t WAIT for a bun again!!! I tried being a vegetarian while in grad school..honestly i dreamed about eating hamburgers. Then when my belly went south, i gave up grains. for years, i’ve just lived w/o because the bread out there just flat isnt worth spending $5 a loaf on. I dooo look forward to making the rolls but it sounds like they are in a big food processor. Anyway..thanks for all the creativity, work, and recipes. I, and my gluten free/grain free patients, appreciate it!! I’m much more medically inclined than food inclined.

Thank You for this giveaway. I have wanted a Blendtec for over a year. What would I make first, that is a good question. I think it would be almond butter.
I like both AAG and Blendtec on Facebook.
I would definitely start making my own nut butters and flours. I’ve tried almond flour and cashew butter with our regular blender and food processor and it doesn’t work as well or as quick as I’d like. This would make it soooo much easier!!
Tweeted and posted on Facebook!
If I was lucky enough to win this amazing blender from Blendtec there are sooo many things I would do with it! But the first thing would be to prepare my own almond milk for my one year old daughter – I cringe every time I buy a carton of the processed stuff for her at the store.
Oh man, what WOULDN’T I make?! Nut butter (maybe macadamia!) would be at the top of my list!

I’ve been dying for a blender for a long time. I was on a raw food journey for about 9 months, and now eat more vegan and gluten-free than anything. The biggest thing lacking from my diet that my Magic Bullet just doesn’t handle well is I’d really like to start my morning with a green smoothie every morning: Kale, Spinach, Celery, Spirulina, Lemon, Apple. But the greens just don’t get blended well without a Blendtec!
We all feel a million times better just getting those fruits and veggies in raw format into our system!! Our body thanks us!

I already like Against All Grain and just liked Blendtec. The first recipe I would make would definitely be the cashew butter. The only cashew bitter I can find around here is insanely expensive. I want to start making the grain free bread from Against All Grain so I can can get my fiancé to be more paleo with me. Having wheat bread in the house is stressful.
I would make Gazpacho. I tried some for the first time at a restaurant that had some watermelon and crab in it. I’ve been wanting to try to recreate it at home. It was the perfect summer meal!

can’t decide if i’d make almond butter or coconut butter first….heck i’d probably make a yummy coconut almond concoction =P
If it’s not cheating to choose more than one recipe…
I’d make kale pesto to top some zucchini noodles, cashew butter for sandwich bread, and some amazing coconut fudgy ice cream.
Hummus!

This sounds amazing! I wish I could make nut butters at home, but I can never get them as smooth and creamy as I see online. Sounds like this Blendtec could change that!

I want to try to make cashew butter with a blendtec!
I don’t have the best blender at the moment so I would love to make homemade peanut butter to see how much better it tastes being fresh. I have also always wanted to make horchata (mexican rice milk). There are so many different variations and I would find a lot of fun in experimenting with them.
I tweeted ” Win a @Blendtec blender (value $575) from @againstallgrain http://wp.me/p29IRZ-15o #giveaway #paleo #glutenfree”
I will make almond butter as soon as I win it. Here’s how it goes. Blend a cup of soaked and dehydrated almonds with a pinch of Himalayan salt and a dash of raw honey and blend till I get almond butter. If needed, add a tbsp or two of avocado oil or walnut oil. Yum!
I would make coconut butter!! It’s my favorite. After that would probably be almond butter. Then I might try macadamia and brazil nut butter. I saw some at Whole Foods today and thought it sounded delicious.
It’s funny, but we were just discussing making almond milk a couple of nights ago, so I think that might actually be the first thing. Of course, I can’t imagine we’d stop there!
I would make cashew butter for the salad dressing I make weekly. Thanks for the contest!
I already follow Against All Grain and Blendtec on Facebook…
The first thing I would make is coconut milk! I hate buying the boxed stuff.
Homemade Cashew Butter with cinnamon!

I love making green smoothies but am always dissatified at the little surprise chunks that somehow always find their way into my glass. Thank you so much for your blog and this giveaway!
It took some finessing, since copying and pasting the first attempt didn’t actually tag AAG and Blendtec, but I think I’ve got it now: https://www.facebook.com/vyrien/posts/321317044625397
The first thing I would make is an roasted acorn squash soup

There are lots of things I’d love to make, but I think the true test of the Blendtec’s ability would be to make almond butter. My food processor can make cashew butter without any trouble, but almond butter takes a long time and the processor gets so hot that it seems like it is not going to complete the task! Then, I’d make some homemade almond milk.
I’m already following AAG on FB and I just “liked” Blendtec’s page.

Sweet giveaway, Danielle! I would *love* to win this
First thing I’d make with this is a huge batch of homemade tahini (from raw soaked sesame seeds) because I love the stuff! I’d also make all the organic nut butters that I’d otherwise buy for a lot more from Artisana 
I would make the Meat Lover’s Pizza on Grain-Free Crust.

The first thing I would make in the Blendtec would be gazpacho…..I have a new organic garden and I am overrun with tomatoes!
I definitely want to make nut butter. Almond, cashew, macadamia…whatever. Have used my food processor, but with effort. This baby looks like it makes preparation a breeze!!!

In the bender, I would mix oil, eggs, and vinegar to make mayonnaise. That is the recipe I’d make.
Hope to win!
I would make the creamy cashew butter!
homemade almond butter! my blender wouldn’t make it now. and of course, my daily green smoothies!!!
I would make all the flavors I can come up with, just start putting all the fruits that I love in the blender and then try to do the same with veggies. Strawberry, kiwi, mango, carrots, the list goes on and on.
I would make almond milk. I’ve been buying it and hate the extras that are in it. I’m just getting started on my SCD journey and would love to have a great blender to add to my other needed items!
Ok someone else mentioned it, but I’m making pesto. I can never get the consistency right. It goes directly from solid to runny liquid. I am tired of dripping that olive oil a bit at a time, spending all that time and still not getting what I want.

Since I would really love to have bread again for toast, sandwiches etc. I think I would make the cashew butter you talk about so you can make bread.

Nut flours are first on my list. Regular blenders just don’t make them fine enough! This would be amazing! The possibilities are endless!
I would try making almond milk or cashew cream you use in so many of your recipes. Or the cream of mushroom soup.
I would LOVE a blend tec! I currently have the “other brand” and I cannot keep it on my counter. The first thing I would make is a yummy green smoothie!

I love making whole food smoothies. This blender will liquefy anything I put in it so that the nutrients that are usually thrown away get to be kept. I usually don’t follow “recipes,” I just put a little of a lot of good things in a blender and it always turns out great!
