  1. I love peanut butter and banana, my daughter loves peaches and yogurt. We don’t hae a blender powerful enough to do much more than soft fruits and yogurt…would LOVE to win this. Thank you for the giveaway!

  2. For shakes I love to throw in some dark chocolate or peanut butter; for smoothies, my favorite combo is raspberry and mango with vanilla yogurt.

  4. i add chocolate, whey protein powder, flax, coconut oil, soy milk to a smoothie, depending on what I feel like

  5. A mixture of banana, strawberry, blueberry, vanilla yogurt, low-fat milk with an occasional peach or mango thrown in ….yum! My blender was old and recently died so this would be a blessing to win. Thank you for the opportunity to enter 🙂

  7. Peanut butter and banana. And I admit there is sometimes chocolate syrup added in there too! Thanks for the giveaway!

  8. Love your yummy/healthy and beautiful recipes and to have a Blendtec to recreate your scrmptious smoothies & PB would be awesome! Would love to use seasonal organic fruits & veggies and would add things like Flax, Wheat Germ, Chia, White Beans andso on to enhance the fiber and protein.

  9. Ah!! Marla thank you so much for this giveaway!!!! My favorite ingredients for shakes and smoothies are leafy greens, cucumbers, superfood powders and raw coconut butter! Cacao powder is also a must! Frozen kefir cubes are also my favorite touch for a fun, frosty flair!:) THANK YOU!!

  10. I love Kale, Pineapple, Apple, Banana, Lemon, Cabbage and Carrots. The color is odd but it is yummy and gives you tons of energy.

  11. My I love smoothies of all kinds and a challenge to come up with just a few fave ingredients..I tend to use the most: Yogurt, OJ, Mango, Pineapple..all berries, nuts, flax seed, bananas, parsley and spinach, apple..LOL..that is my short go to list. Thanks..this blender would be awesome to win as my doesn’t do the job so well.

  12. Organic Goji Berries are our #1 favorite berries to use, but we love all organic berries. Raw or Organic Milk. Organic Chia seeds a must.

  13. Strawberry banana blueberry and ginger that blender would be great I’m using a hand blender but it doesn’t make it as easy as a blender would.

  14. I want to win this to make my own nut butters! For a smoothie, I would probably make a healthier version of a chocolate shake – Coconut milk, cocoa powder, avocado, vanilla, stevia.

  15. I call my favorite smoothie the “kitchen sink” smoothie…it has romaine, spinach, carrots, 1/2 a banana, and pumpkin puree….yum!

  16. I make peanut butter smoothies for my daughter, she loves them. A banana, dollop of peanut butter, oats, flax seed, cinnamon and milk.

  17. I make high fiber and fruit smoothies for my constipation prone toddler. A blender that would actually blend would be super helpful!!!

  18. I love using spinach, avocado, protein powder and cocoa powder….looks odd but tastes yummy! I would love to make it smooth with a blendtec!

  19. Kale or spinach, a banana, either blueberries or strawberries, ground flax, greek or plain, unsweetened organic yogurt, almond milk, and protein powder (optional). Thank you!

    1. I forgot to mention, on top I drizzle raw honey from our bees and put chia seeds also. The smoothie looks pretty too!

  20. homemade almond milk, spinach/kale/beet greens/chard/whatever is on hand, 1/2 frozen banana, vegan protein powder, cocoa powder, ice cubes

  21. What an awesome giveaway to help with a healthier new year thank you! My favorite smoothies have spinach or kale with flaxseed mangos bananas yogurt blueberries apples & pineapple. Basically everything lol

  22. I love dates, peanut butter, and carob (though not necessarily all at the same time) in my smoothies. Yum. What a wonderful giveaway!

  23. My whole family loves smoothies! Fave ingredients include frozen banana, almond milk, spinach/kale, almond butter, frozen fruit and whole oats. Would love to have a new blender to make them!

  24. I used to always do strawberry and banana smoothies but have started making green smoothies and love them. I sneak spinach into my daughters all the time!

  25. A few of my favorite ingredients are Peanut Butter, Blueberries, Bananas and Greek Yogurt. I don’t have a blender so I would really love to win this.

  26. Love any kind of berries, banana, greek yogurt, spinach, kale (when I can’t use up my fresh spinach or kale quickly enough I freeze it in ice cube trays with a little water to throw in smoothies later!)

  27. I am not really a smoothie person, but then again, I don’t have a blender like this. I do use a blender for soups especially in the winter. Thanks for the giveaway. I really like your blog.

  28. I mostly like the “green” smoothies: spinach, fruit (banana, blueberry, apple), ice & water. Even better if I have some cilantro around too. Thx for an awesome giveaway. I feel like if I had a fancy blender I would make more smoothies & be healthier.

  29. My favorite green smoothie: banana, frozen pineapple, almond milk, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, fresh ginger, and lots of kale!

  30. my base is always frozen bananas with plain greek yogurt. My favorite add-ins are blueberries and peanut butter. Thanks for the chance!

  31. I like using root veggies (squashs, sweet potato, turnip, etc.) They do a wonder for thickening and often have just the right amount of sweetness and flavors which interplay well with others.

  32. Favorite green smoothie- both mine and my fiance’s — chocolate chip mint green smoothie. I use greek yogurt, coconut milk, half a banana, whey protein, a TON of spinach, ice, peppermint extract, and a few dark chocolate chips…. I freeze the banana and spinach first, and it ends up super thick and tastes eerily close to chocolate chip mint ice cream. Although I don’t mind “green” tasting smoothies, this one has double what I normally put in, and isn’t at all detectable because its overpowered by the peppermint.

    We just got back home from our Christmas holiday– a 30 hour + flight, and he requested that smoothie as lunch. We need some healthy food to start to normalize again 🙂

  33. bananas are my no. 1 go to ingredient of choice, second i love adding spinach to my smoothies, another is avocado, berries, apple, nuts and coconut oil or milk for shakes. 🙂

  34. Have really really been wanting one of these…your recipes look “wonderful”!!! My favorite ingredients would be mango and coconut!

  35. I think I would cry if I won this. I like almond milk, fresh fruit, chia seeds, peanut butter sometimes, and something green thrown in for good measure.

  36. My green smoothie consists of almond milk, blueberries, banana, flaxseed, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, vitamins (I hate swallowing them so this is a great way to take them:), kale, and spinach…this fills me up and gives an amazing glow to the skin.

  37. My favorite is plain strawberry, but am venturing into more and looking forward to trying new things including several in this post!! 🙂

  38. I just tried spinach, cranberries, and tangerines today. I added a little vanilla protein powder, and I was surprised at how delightful it was. (The color… not so delightful.)

  39. I love to make fruit smoothies using orange juice, bananas, and frozen berries (no dairy product)

  40. I love cherries, almonds and cocoa in a smoothie with some oatmeal and greens (baby spinach and beet greens). Yum!

  41. Hi, thanks for the great giveaway! This blender is the creme de la creme of blenders! Hope I am the lucky winner! I would use my blendtech to make dairy free milks and cream substitutes using nuts and coconut.

  42. Any berries, but especially blueberries, are my favorite smoothie and shake ingredients. I just can’t get enough of them.

  43. My favorite ingredients are Almond milk, Blueberries, blackberries & banana. It is also good to add chocolate protein powder, So yummy!

  44. My favorite smoothie ingredient is pineapple. along with greens, mixed berries. I pretty much like anything in a smoothie

  45. I adore green smoothies with frozen bananas, coconut water, baby spinach, swiss chard, pineapple, protein powder, and water. My sister loves them with frozen bananas, protein powder, baby spinach, cocoa powder, and almond milk. Both are super yummy!

  46. I love to do one with pureed pumpkin, almond milk, sugar in the raw, vanilla extract, and a banana. Tastes like pumpkin pie. 🙂

  47. I love strawberries, bananas, coconut milk, and spinach.

  48. It’s usually whatever we have in the house but most of the time I like a simple strawberry and banana or peach

  49. Lately my thing is Bananas and Peanut Butter with flaxseed and oats.The bananas are sweet enough, so no need for added sweetener, which is great.

  50. I usually have mine with Strawberries, raspberries and, as of late, clementines. Plus hemp protein powder and milk. Delish!

  51. I’m easy — blueberries, raspberries, plain yogurt and touch of honey are my favorite components of the perfect smoothie! I like to add ice to make it extra thick!

  52. I love doing a chocolate peanut butter and banana smoothie, but any kind of fruit in a blender smoothie style is heavenly

  53. I use frozen berries, fruit mix, and bananas along with chia, yogurt, soaked oats, and coconut oil.

  54. My current blender doesn’t have what it takes to make a smoothie. One of my favorite drinks that I order from a local coffee shop is a peanut butter coffee frappe, and it is delicious! I’d really like to try a green smoothie, and the Blendtec blender would give me that opportunity!

  55. Fave smoothie ingredients — bananas and strawberries or raspberries! And yeah, I wouldn’t say no to a chocolate/peanut butter combo

  56. I love using frozen bananas and spinach or kale with berries! My four year old loves Mommy’s smoothies and doesn’t know he is getting healthy things too! 🙂

  57. My favorite ingredients are pomegranate juice, blueberries and bananas… with other other frozen fruits like mangos and pineapple.

  58. Blueberries are my favorite smoothie ingredient. We grow them so I can enjoy them fresh and I freeze them for when they are not in season!

  59. My favorite smoothie ingredients are pumpkin, strawberries, and peanut butter. Not all together of course 😉

  60. I almost always use coconut water and greek yogurt. I love adding spirulina to my smoothies, too. I usually use a banana, but am willing to try something different. I keep wanting to try avocado, but forget to buy them!

  61. I like any sort of fruit and yogurt combo, but have been wanting to branch out and try some other options, especially some greens.

  62. As much as I’d use this blender for healthy shakes and stuff, I must say that my favorite would be a chocolate ice cream shake or any kind of ice cream shake really.

  63. My favorite smoothie includes a banana, Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze, coconut water, frozen pineapple and frozen strawberries, with a scoop of vanilla protein powder and a few kale leaves. Filling, healthy, and delish!

  64. My favorite smoothie ingredients are spinach, instant coffee, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter and a frozen banana!

  65. I ♡ berries, spinach, banana, greek yogurt, and apples. Its my favorite way of getting my little ones to eat green! They can be very picky. Frozen peaches are my boys favorite option! Thanks for the opportunity. The blendtech has been on my wish list for a while. A hand blender is all I have to use cause my blender broke!

  66. i like peaches and mangoes i love fruit so any fruit will work for me strawberrys and banana is another fav of mine

  67. Bananas, peanut butter, honey, oreos, cinnimon, chai and wheat germ. Not necessarily all at the same time though 🙂

  68. My sister has been making smoothies for about a year now. I cannot get enough of them! Hopefully I can get my own Blentec soon and return the delicious favor:)

  69. I’ve not had any experience with smoothies, but if I won this I would love to experiment with such as chocolate and banana.

  70. I like to make one with bananas, skim milk, ice, and a little Mexican vanilla extract. (Mexican vanilla has a stronger flavor so only add a little at a time).

  71. I like to use yogurt or kefir, a banana, and a bunch of frozen fruit. I particularly like mangoes or peaches because they make a light colored smoothie that isn’t as likely to stain my kids’ clothes.

  72. i love a smoothie with strawberries,orange juice with a little ice cream and ice.with half a banana in it

  73. I love strawberries, blueberries, banana, avocado, spinach, and flax seeds, chia seeds, or hemp seeds in my smoothies

  74. I like to put chia seeds in fruit and veggie smoothies. In summer, I like to use my own homegrown blackberries in banana smoothies. For shake, I love dark cocoa to make a rich chocolate shake that has some redeeming antioxidants.

  75. One of my favourite smoothies has mango, banana and coconut yoghurt 🙂 Thanks for the great giveaway. Good luck everyone!

  76. I am newly into juicing, I have several recipes I enjoy but I was looking through the recipes you have above (going to try most of them) right away the “Tispy Orange Julius shake” caught my eye. In hi school after school I’d stop by dairy queen with my friends & we’d get orange julius. Thanks for the recipe! =D

  77. Winning a blender like this would be wonderful. I would love to make my spinach smoothie a bit more smooth! Thank you for the opportunity!

  78. i like to have blueberries, strawberries, kale, orange, blackberries, ice, and soy milk. love the taste.

  79. I make smoothies everyday as a part of my fruit/vegetable only diet, and I would love to win this high quality Blendtec blender. This would make my mornings so much easier.

  80. My favorite smoothie combination is 2 c. spinach, 2 c. coconut milk – unsweetened, 1 tsp. fresh lime juice, 2 c. frozen pineapple, 1 banana YUMM! Got this recipe from Simple Green Smoothies and they call it the Tropical Breeze.

  81. Oh my gosh, there are so many things I could do with this blender! I’m so into smoothies — my favorite combination is yogurt and any fresh fruit. I love the idea of making my own peanut butter, though! Thanks for the opportunity to win this! 🙂

  82. I drink this every single day with some variations here and there when I run out of ingredients: spirulina, kale, one leaf of swiss chard, a banana, a touch of agave nectar, vanilla bean (the real stuff not the flavoring lol), and a handful of raspberries…stay healthy folks 🙂

  83. When you are living healthy and you are staying healthy, your life has so much more to offer!! Good Luck Everyone!!

  84. I love smoothies, especially green smoothies! My favorite ingredients for a green smoothie is kale (or spinach or collards!), 2 frozen bananas, a carrot, a peach, and any other seasonal fruit I might have, and a splash of orange juice. If I have vegan yogurt on hand, that’s delicious in there too!

    Peanut butter, soy milk, oats, and bananas makes a great power up smoothie for breakfast too. Mmm. Smoothies! Thanks for this giveaway!

  85. Banana, of course, but also I love a mango and pineapple smoothie. Really, mango in any smoothie is fantabulous.

  86. Well, the obvious – strawberries and bananas .. and then the ones that I came up with through experimentation …. iced coffee and butter pecan ice cream … lime juice with orange pulp and strawberries (seriously, THAT is yummy!) Thanks for the chance to win!

  87. My very favorite smoothie/shake is a Vietnamese-style avocado shake, with avocado, ice, and sweetened condensed milk… not as good for you as a smoothie, but not as bad for you as a shake (and just as tasty). 🙂
    Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  90. My standard summer breakfast is a green smoothie made of: spinach, mango, banana, flaxseed, chia seed, protein powder and milk (dairy, almond, hemp — whatever I have around). With a Blendtec, I could probably use kale. My ancient blender won’t chop it finely enough….

  91. My fave ingredients:

    #1 Mango!
    #2 Berries

    for the greens I normally do Green Apple, Kale, Celery, Lemon and Cucumber 🙂

  92. I usually start with frozen bananas and coconut milk and add various other combinations of fruit and sometimes other things like chocolate, nut butter or flavorings.

  93. Bananas, chocolate, & strawberries go in both smoothies & shakes, obviously. Smoothies can use some cold coffee, too, & some yogurt to thicken it up a little. Maybe throw in some peanut butter if I’m in the mood,.

  94. My favorite smoothie is vanilla yogurt, bananas and orange juice, I just throw it all in the blender, easy peasy.

  95. My favorite smoothie items to use are frozen bananas and frozen strawberries. My favorite! And Kale! 😀

  96. The ‘hidden stuff’ like spinach, coconut milk and ground flax meal are awesome, but flavor-wise, I love cherries, chocolate and vanilla.

  97. Those smoothies and soup look really good. My favorite smoothie is banana and strawberries. Thanks for this great giveaway!

  98. My favorite SMOOTHIE & SHAKE ingredients is Vanilla Almond Milk, Rice Protein Powder, Banana, Strawberries, and Flax Seed.

  99. Thanks for the giveaway…fresh & frozen raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, mango, non-fat greek yogurt, wheat germ, & protein powder.

  100. Ahh! This is the same blender that Jamba Juice uses! I would love to win this.

    I like oranges and strawberries :]

  101. I like Greek yogurt and strawberries. Maybe some peaches or watermelon, if it’s the right season! I keep it simple.

  102. I rarely have smoothies because I don’t have a blender, but I think strawberries would be wonderful. And I’d love to try spinach or kale to make it green. I’m sure I’d need other ingredients too, though.

  103. I rarely have smoothies because I don’t have a blender, but I think strawberries would be wonderful. And I’d love to try spinach or kale to make it green. I’m sure I’d need other ingredients too, though.

  104. I love adding spinach more than kale. I always find kale a little bitter. Of course bananas are like number one. I like to get creative and add whole kiwis with the skin on (remove ends). Sometimes oats. Sometimes flax. Greek yogurt. Whatever I’m feeling that day 🙂

  105. I have been sugar free for 3 weeks and this blender would be a great addition to my healthy eating arsenal. 🙂 No turning back now!

  106. OMG I need a new blender! My last one had an electrical issue randomly and when i went to turn it on I could feel the electricity running through my body. Luckily the electricity traveled through me into the ground instead of shocking me and killing me. I would really enjoy a new, safe one!

  107. This is awsome! My husband is a big fan of smoothies! Thanks for all your wonderful recipes! And this amazin giveway!

  108. Great giveaway! I love fruit smoothies…I make my own walnut milk from organic walnuts and use that as the base for the smoothie. Usually add frozen bananas, mangoes, and berries.

  109. My fav ingredients are spinach, pineapple, and coconut! I switch up the last few ingredients depending on what’s in the fridge. Haha!

  110. I would loveeeee to win this!
    My favorite smoothie I love to make is my incredible Mango, strawberry, apple and banana smoothie, alongside my peanut butter smoothie with almond milk and bananas.

  111. I can’t wait to make it all!! I want to be creative and make things I gave never done before: jams, salsa, hummus, guacamole, soups, milk and butters. Gosh I’m crossing my fingers!!
