I’ve really been enjoying working with my new Blendtec Designer Series Blender, as it is a cut above the blenders that I’ve used before and is good for a lot more than just mixing up fruit smoothies. The people at Blendtec were kind enough to provide an extra Blendtec Blender for me to giveaway to one lucky reader, so now is your chance to put your entry in for a chance to win!
Of course, I wish that I could give all of you new blenders, but since that’s not in the cards right now, you’ll have to leave a comment on this post stating your favorite use for a blender. Is it making blended coffee drinks? Pureed soups? Homemade peanut butter? Blender waffles? The winner of the contest will win one Designer Series Blender furnished by Blendtec. For an extra entry into the contest, you can sign up for the Blendtec recipe newsletter, which will deliver great (and sometimes surprising) blender recipes straight to your inbox.
The contest ends Sunday night at midnight (a.k.a. 12:01am on 05/06/2013) and one winner will be randomly selected from the entries. Don’t forget to fill in your e-mail on the comment form (it will not be made public), as that is how I will contact the winner, and good luck!

Update: Comments are now closed. Congrats to reader Johnny M on winning this amazing blender!

May 2, 2013I just use a blender so much that it would be hard to focus on one thing. The bottom line is blenders are just much, much more efficient at purées than food processors are.
One thing I know I’ll be doing a lot of now that summer is approaching is gazpachos. For gazpacho I just throw veggies into the blender and whiz. It may be the easiest thing I ever “cook” but it lacks *nothing* in flavor and nothing is as satisfying when the temperatures climb.
Cheryl
May 2, 2013WOW, it would be nice to have a blender again. I would like it for blending waffle batter, we used to make milk shakes.
Astrid
May 2, 2013smoothies for sure!
Linda
May 2, 2013I use one for a lot of things but probably the most for blending smoothies. It’s great for pureed soup too. Great giveaway.
melissa
May 2, 2013I love using my blender to make German Pancakes, they are a fav of my husbands and easy clean up for me 🙂

May 2, 2013pureed soups! Love it!
Keira-Anne
May 2, 2013I use my blender every day to make pureed veggie and fruit smoothies to kick off my day. My poor blender is many years old and simply chugs and churns. A new blender would be very welcome!
Jacki
May 2, 2013Smoothies!
Trish
May 2, 2013My morning smoothies!
Kayla
May 2, 2013Just used my existing ghastly loud blender last night to make pureed cauliflower soup (it was OK). Whenever I run it there is the distinct smell of plastic and motor lubricant. It would be awesome to have a blender that doesn’t suck.
Sarah
May 2, 2013Smoothies all the way – closely followed by pesto are my favorite blender uses.
Nupur
May 2, 2013I love using my blender to make quick chutneys and salsas. Thanks for the giveaway!
Nancy @ gottagetbaked
May 2, 2013Smoothies! And soups. And pesto! As you can tell, there are a lot of things I would make in the blender. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
grace
May 2, 2013no hesitation, my answer is milkshakes.
Mr. & Mrs. P
May 2, 2013Smoothies!!
Rachel
May 2, 2013Smoothies for my older daughter!
Kelly
May 2, 2013It’s nice to make fruit smoothies with every frozen fruit I can find. This summer I’d like to make more blended coffee drinks and margaritas.
Jamie
May 2, 2013I’m a smoothie addict, and definitely need a stronger blender to power through the thick smoothies I like to eat with a spoon!
Katie
May 2, 2013I broke my blender trying to make almond butter. sigh. Guess that blender was super old… the blades just died on me. It’d be nice to win a new blender 😀 more almond butter and cashew butters! 😀
CC Dery
May 2, 2013I usually make fruit smoothies for breakfast weekday mornings. I can only make them one at a time because I only have a stick blender. My husband is frequently done before mine is ready to drink; being able to make two at a time would sure be nice.
Andrea
May 2, 2013Haven’t had a blender for awhile, but I’d love one to make milkshakes with homemade ice cream.
Jennifer J-W
May 2, 2013It’s not very creative, but we mainly make smoothies. I also like to use the blender to mix up ice cream mixes, too, before I freeze them in the ice cream maker.
Jessica
May 2, 2013Soups! Never thought about blender waffles before, though. I might have to give that a try.
mindy
May 2, 2013I’d love a serious blender! I use it for smoothies and making oat flour for cookies. 🙂
Amelia
May 2, 2013I love using my blender to sneak fruits & veggies in to my two year old’s smoothies.
Sarah R.
May 2, 2013Smoothies!
Emily
May 2, 2013I would LOVE a new blender! Our immersion blender finally kicked the bucket this week, and with my husbands soup addiction, I need something to replace it!
June
May 2, 2013What don’t I use my blender for? Smoothies every day, your recipe for the waffle batter, and several of my own interpretations of it… to make smashed chick pea salad… the list goes on and on. It would be GREAT to have one like this!
Lisa
May 2, 2013ooo I would love to win one of these bad boys. I would make pureed soups and sauces!
Carole Resnick
May 2, 2013I could have a different flavor smoothie eVERYDAY.
Matt
May 2, 2013Roasted almond butter! So good and hard to get without a bunch of extras from the grocery store. A strong blender is great for that.
Stephanie
May 2, 2013I’ve already broken one blender from too many morning smoothies so it’d be nice to have a real blender.
Maria
May 2, 2013I would definitely use it to make smoothies. I have to use a Magic Bullet to make them now, and it would be so much easier to make them for the family in a big batch!
Christine
May 2, 2013I love to make breakfast smoothies with lots of fruit and greens!
Patty
May 2, 2013My favorite thing to use a blender for is David Lebovitz’s popovers.
I keep hearing & reading great things about the Blendtec, it would be awesome to win one. Thanks for the opportunity, Nicole.
Rebecca S.
May 2, 2013Margaritas!
Bruce
May 2, 2013Pina Coladas!!!!
Carol Miller
May 2, 2013I buy fruit when it is on sale and freeze it. When I want to make smoothies, you don’t need to add a lot of ice, just frozen fruit, a little spinach or kale, flax seed and a little milk or yoghurt. A new Blentec blender would make them so much easier to make.
Katrina
May 2, 2013The possibilities are endless for using a blender, especially a Blendtec. I do use the blender I have daily for smoothies for breakfast. I love using it to grind oats and such, too.
Meredith J.
May 2, 2013I love making blended iced coffee in the summer. Yum!
Brendag
May 2, 2013I love to puree soup and sauces, but I could do so much more with the blender, in the market for new one as the last time I used mine it was smoking 🙁
Sandra
May 2, 2013I use my blender to make different types of salsa. YUM!
Brenda
May 2, 2013I probably use mine to make a quick pots de creme more than anything else.
My husband uses it break our home grown berries down before turning them into homemade wine.
A good blender is a nice thing to have!
Eileen
May 2, 2013I don’t own a blender right now, so having the Blendtec would be awesome. Plus I have been wanting a Blendtec forever! I do love making smoothies and soups with a blender. Not necessarily at the same time.
Carla
May 2, 2013It’s the boring answer but I love making smoothies. We love to experiment with new flavors.
Rupa L
May 2, 2013WOW a blender freebie … love it …I would definitely use it for a lot of Smoothies and Soups !!
