Green Flaxie Smoothie
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.
To celebrate our 4-year-blogoversary, my birthday and Thanksgiving, we’re giving away this stunner. The Blendtec blender is one awesome machine. It is my new obsession. I can’t stop blending things; spinach, apples, raw carrots, flax seeds, grapes,…
I told my mom it is a “dikiy zver” (wild animal). It does have a “wild side” after all (the jar has a 5th side for efficiency). You know what’s really wild about this blender? The blade is completely dull! I can reach inside while washing it and not lose a finger. It whirls food up to 300MPH and pulverizes it into submission.
Oh and there are preset buttons that you can push and it goes through the program adjusting speed all on it’s own to give you a perfect smoothie every time in under a minute. No need to open the lid and swirl it to check the consistency. Oh oh and you see that Twister Jar? Can you say nutella and almond butter ten times fast?! It processes the really thick mixtures.
Oooooh and the blender and the Twister Jar come with two cookbooks which are a gold mine. I’ve made about 10 of these recipes in 1 week. (If you’re as excited as I am, you should pause and take a breath before continuing).
Blendtec where have you been all my life? My son is drinking whole food smoothies that are jam packed with superfoods and antioxidants and I’m one super happy mama.
Here is one of the delicious blender recipes from the Blendtec cookbook (pg 14):
Green Flaxy Smoothie Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp flaxseeds
2 clementines, peeled
1 banana, peeled
2 cups spinach
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
How To Make Green Flaxie Smoothie:
1. Add of the ingredients to the blender, secure the lid and select “whole juice”. It’s done in under a minute and the flax seeds blend up really well in my Blendtec (they aren’t gritty!).
I might have tossed in a few extra pineapple chunks for my sweet tooth. But ya know what? There’s no added sugar in this. Yep, it’s au natural. Happy Mama indeed.

We all absolutely need one, love one, want one. Blendtec’s are “the love bomb of the kitchen”! Revolution, Love-o-lution, Blendtec-o-lution!

Hi Natasha, Thanks so much for you’re review, I got so exited about this awesome blender. We’re actually in need for a good blender for the family. Since I have two little boys in the house I’ve been needing to use a blender more often now. Plus the fact that you can blend the wholesome foods in it to give your kids to drink, is such a good idea. Thanks so much 🙂
I LOVE THIS BLENDER! This blender would be my new best friend!
I would love to win this blender. Since retiring I have had more time to concentrate on healthy eating habits as well as making green and/or healthy smoothies. A new, stronger blender would be wonderful. My current blender has trouble blending all ingredients. Thank you.

I’ve been wanting this forever, so I can make nut butters and smoothies.
I would love this blender because an Oster or Hamilton Beach just doesn’t cut it anymore. I have given up making smoothies altogether! I would just love getting back into that, and the Blendtec would make that happen! I’d be one happy mama with 5 satisfied children 🙂
Our regular blender is acting up. This would be the best adittion in the kitchen:)
I found out about the Blendtec after I tasted the green smoothie my brother and his family (even the two-year-old) make in their Blendtec every morning. Delicious, fast and healthy! It takes them a few minutes to prepare, and provides them with the entire recommended daily intake of all necessary vitamins and other nutrients including fiber, magnesium, and calcium, all of which you can’t get in a pill. The Blendtec is awesome and I want one.
Thank you for sharing with us all amazingly delicious recipes! Would be very grateful to have such a great blender in our kitchen to make healthy meals/smoothies with.

I want this Blender for my wonderful wife, she absolutely loves natashaskitchen and she loves cooking and baking. She’s also into smoothies and shakes! She makes a delicious smoothie out of “random” ingredients and it turns out actually good! This upgrade to her kitchen will make her literally jump up and down and scream with excitement!!! 🙂
I have a 6+ year old blender thats really dying out! I would love a new blender to make smoothies and start making baby purees. And it would be a great belated birthday present for myself. 😉
I love cooking and my blender is really old and small. When I make Brazilian cheese bread, mine is not powerful enough to mix the ingredients also the bottom part is too narrow to take all the batter out of the blender.
I would love to win this blender, our family love smoothie and green juice. And I’m surprised my two year old baby just love green juice so much.
Thank you, love your recipes 🙂
The Blendtec sounds like an amazing machine!

Your Chicken Cream Cheese Chili recipe has spread like wildfire in our neck of the woods! 🙂
