The Blendtec Blender - it blends

Will it Blend? That is the question. Over the weekend Joe bestowed a wedding gift to us - a Blendtec blender. This thing ROCKS - I love it and it is freaking awesome. It does blend and it blends extremely well. We immediately tried out some homemade strawberry margaritas; freshly hulled and halved strawberries, fresh lime chunks, a few shots of tequila, grand marnier and topped it off with ice. In literally 5 seconds everything was blended together as it took us longer to pour the drinks than to make them. AMAZING. After the strawberry margaritas Heather and Joe made a milkshake type of drink with bailey's, frangelico, and something else. It looked good. Later on we did make another type of milkshake.

Yesterday we enjoyed a morning and an evening fruit beverage. Admittedly we purchased some ingredients to make Blendtec's version of lactose free ice cream (french vanilla coffeemate ew I know, but hey if it is lactose free and yummy I'll give it a try). I cannot wait to see what else this magical whirring machine can do.

For those who have not witnessed a Blendtec Blender go out to Will It Blend? and check out the videos. Yes the videos are quirky and yes the machine is expensive, but soooooooo worth it. The machine slows up and down as needed. Maybe I should get one for work so I may have homemade frappucinos...
