As I count down the days until my Blendtec blender arrives, I’ve found myself scouring the internet for innovative recipes to put it through its paces. With my new purchase just a week away, I’m excited to share some of the most intriguing and mouthwatering blends that have caught my attention, and can’t wait to test them out with my soon-to-be-acquired kitchen powerhouse.
Recipes You Can Make In Your Blender

Almond Milk

Tomato Soup
What sets high-end blenders apart from their counterparts is their ability to warm soups without requiring a stovetop, thanks to their potent motors.

Baby Food
When it comes to baby food products, there’s a wide range of options available. However, I’ve always been concerned about the practicality of investing in these products, especially since babies grow up quickly and may not use the product again once they outgrow it. While some of these products can be resold or repurposed for future children, it seems like there should be more value-added options that can be used beyond just baby food.
That’s why I’m a fan of blenders designed to produce smooth purees that aren’t limited to just babies – they’re perfect for making all sorts of meals and snacks for the whole family.
