Tell me more...

Blendtec is the maker of the most advanced blenders in the world.  They have just spun off a new sister company called Blendfresh, with the beginning pre-launch phase in July of 2014.  Blendfresh features a line of raw, whole food powders that are pesticide free, non-GMO, organic, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free and cheaper than fresh produce.  Wow!  

Health is trending right now.  Combine a high demand, consumable product (food), with huge savings on the best kitchen appliance that exists (Blendtec blenders), and you get a total win.  As soon as I heard about this program I said "I'm in!  Now give me the details".

Here's how it works.  Most people already know they need to improve their diet.  The proof is everywhere.  They don't do it because changing your diet for the better is hard.  BLENDFRESH IS THE EASIEST WAY TO EAT HEALTHY EVERY DAY.

Blendfresh takes raw fruits and veggies, nuts, seeds and sprouts, and they "Fresh Dry" them at low temperatures to preserve nutrition and enzymes.  Entire clean crops are used (benefiting organic farmers) and the produce is made into a whole food pulp where only seeds and stems are removed.

Next they make the pulp into a powder that can be added to any meal or smoothie.  The process uses light instead of heat to protect fragile nutrients. We are only just discovering all the fun ways to use it!  Not just for nutrition, but chefs and caterers are looking at Blendfresh as an easy way to add enhanced flavor to their recipes.  As a consultant you will receive commission on every bottle sold.

Once people understand the amazing value of Blendfresh foods, you have a unique chance to offer them a huge savings on a Blendtec blender.  Customers can save up to $900 off retail prices!  (depending on the model purchased).  Blendfresh pays weekly commissions on blenders and Blendfresh foods.  Customers qualify for this savings based on subscribing to Blendfresh foods for one year.  People buying blenders will naturally also buy produce , so why not help them get the best produce at a savings?  And secure a loyal customer for yourself for a year in the process.  Click here to see how this works.

Up front commissions are just the first way to earn with Blendfresh.  Because health is such a personal subject, Blendtec felt the best way to teach people to change their dietary habits was to connect on a personal level.  As consultants we really do consult with those in our circle to help them making lasting healthy changes, sharing recipes and supporting in groups and challenges.

As people get healthy, the word spreads and the most lucrative part of the Blendfresh opportunity comes from building a team of people carrying forward the mission of improved health, worldwide.  The chart below showcases the bonuses that stack up beyond commissions to give you a sizable income.

Compared to other compensation plans, this is amazing!  25% commissions on the first order, then 5% on every level 7 levels deep, and then bigger bonuses kick in.  There are bonuses for keeping your customers active, bonuses for rank advancement, and bonuses to reward you for maintaining your rank so that your own Blendfresh is paid for by the company after just three months on one of the first levels (Trainer)!   This would be good by itself, but this is the only opportunity where you can build a large product flow quickly because your customers continue purchasing for a year.  They get a great value on a piece of hardware like Blendtec, and that let's your business grow quickly on subscription orders because you are not having to replace lost customers.  Take a look.

If you like the sound of this and need more information click here for everything else you'll need to know. Your commitment as a consultant is just a $35 fee per year and $69.98 each month in Blendfresh product purchases.  There are no sales quotas or stock to keep.

If you like the idea of Blendfresh, and would like to save money on the product, but don't wish to share as a consultant right now, just sign up as a Blendfresh Club member instead.  You get the same product prices as a consultant and pay just a $10 lifetime fee to be a member, no monthly product purchase commitment.

My team at the Blendfresh 2014 Summit one month after I signed up - I'm far left)

Why join my team?  

1.  Connection.  A wonderful thing about this opportunity is how new it is.  So far there are only a handful of power hitters who can see the vision of where this opportunity is going.  I am one of them.  I live within 20 miles of the Blendtec factory and often teach evening classes in their kitchen.  All the Blendfresh vice-presidents know me by name and we have each other's personal cell numbers.  When there is something new coming out, I am one of the first to know about it.  As the company grows, I have been invited to strategic meetings to help shape policy.  I am your connection.

2.  Leadership.  My background is wellness and marketing.  I have been teaching fitness classes (Zumba, Insanity, PiYo pilates yoga fusion, AFAA certified group exercise instructor, UVU continuing ed) for years.  Nutrition has been my hobby for about 20 years, and I embraced the raw and vegetarian lifestyles, learned about them and incorporated them into my family life (I consider myself flexitarian now).  This background gives me a lot of information on how to present the products themselves and help combat dietary and habit obstacles people face, as well as being able to better help my students through diet. 

I started and ran the Costco Wholesale wellness program for over 300 employees, started my own essential oils bath and body company, complete with warehouse and nationwide customers and did all the marketing there.  I did marketing for two other companies and achieved Diamond rank twice as a Beachbody Coach, earning their company trips and perks.  I know fitness and nutrition, I know marketing, I know leadership.  And I've broken this Blendfresh business down into bite sized chunks so you can know exactly what to do that will help your business grow the fastest.  My team is rank advancing each month and it's exciting and fun to be a part of it!

Marketing.  While there are a few emerging leaders, most use the home party method.  I am a mother of four and the time I take to my business is precious, so I want it to be as efficient as possible.  While I am familiar and capable with home parties and expos, my preferred method of growing my Blendfresh business is marketing online.  It doesn't have to be expensive, and is what I teach my team.  I feel it's the best way to leverage our time.  People everywhere are on their phone, so that's where I want to be!  I would love to include you as part of our team and show you how you can make your own dreams come into your life through increased health, income, and making a difference for others.

If you have additional questions please email me at jenn@coachjenngibbs.com .  I can't wait to meet you and see how exciting it will be to work with you!  Together we can make a lifelong impact for ourselves, our families, and for those we can influence.  See you soon!

Scottish Toffee Pudding Cake

Scottish Toffee Pudding Cake

1C pitted dates

1 C water

1 tsp baking soda

Combine above ingredients in your blender jar and blend until smooth, then extra 90 seconds (or use Hot Soup setting on your Blendtec).  Then add to jar:

1/4 C butter (1/2 stick)

3/4 C sugar

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

Blend until creamy and lastly add:

3/4 C flour

 and blend just until mixed.  It should be thin like batter.

Pour into a greased 11x7 pan and bake at 350º for 30-40 minutes.

When it's done, set the cake to cool for a few minutes while you make the toffee sauce (below).  Once a little cool, slice the cake into about one inch cubes.  Separate cake pieces with a fork to pour the sauce in between each one and around the edges.

"The Sauce"

3/4 C brown sugar

1/2 C butter (1 stick)

3/4 C heavy cream

Add above ingredients to sauce pan and heat until thick without boiling.  If you have any sauce left over after pouring between the pieces, just pour it on top.  If you make and slice the cake ahead of time, you can make it piping hot again if you pour the sauce on it just before serving.  Optionally, you can save some sauce to do a drizzle on the plate as well.  For the photo above, I did a drizzle with some of the heavy cream that was left.

Note:  I love this recipe.  It is an old, Scottish family recipe of Chef Brad, the Grain Chef who I met at the BYU Education Week classes on whole grain nutrition.  He has many great recipes,and most of them are much healthier!  I actually attended a private cooking class at the Bosch Kitchen Center with a personal trainer friend when this was revealed.  Fun memories.  

There's no question that this is a "treat" best made only once or twice a year.  I have tried to modify it and make a healthier version, but it's my family's consensus that it's just not worth it.  The Sauce really can't be modified well, and using whole grain flour instead just changes the texture.  My advice: make this as dessert, THOROUGHLY ENJOY YOUR SMALL PORTION, and invite friends  over to help you finish it so it doesn't stay in your kitchen after that first night.

If you want to feel a little better about it, add a scoop of Blendfresh Green to the batter (you won't taste it with everything else going on), and when your done, drink a tall glass of water with a scoop of Blendfresh Spouted Fiber Blend to bind with some of the fat and minimize the damage!

"Perfectly Chocolate" Cake

"Perfectly Chocolate" Cake

Add the following to your blender jar (use Wildside if you have a Blendtec blender);

2 C sugar

1 3/4 C flour

3/4 C cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 scoop Blendfresh Green (optional)

1/2 - 1 scoop Blendfresh Sprouted Fiber blend (optional)

Pulse a few times until the dry ingredients are well mixed.  Then add;

2 eggs

1 C milk

1/2 C coconut oil

2 tsp vanilla

Mix for about 40 seconds in blender, then add

1 C boiling water

Mix together and pour into a sprayed a 9x13 pan.  Bake at 350º for 35-40 minutes.  As an option add up to a cup of walnuts.  

For frosting I like to sprinkle a 1/2 - 1 Cup of chocolate chips on top of the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.  After about a minute the chips will be melted enough to spread over the cake with a butter knife and cool as cake topping.

The Blendfresh Green scoop you will not notice the taste of.  It will just add nutrition to what could possibly be a dessert of very little nutritional value - just a fun treat once in a while, which this should be.  If you add 1/2 scoop of Fiber you probably won't notice it, but if you add a whole scoop of fiber you may want to add 3 Tbsp of water to keep your cake from becoming dry.  Use this rule of thumb with any cake or baked item that you want to add the extra Fiber to.

This is my adaptation of the "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake from the Hershey's Recipe Collection Cookbook, 2008.

Alfredo Sauce with a "healthier" spin

Disclaimer: This recipe is delicious, and yet please understand the goal.  This is not what I would call a "healthy" recipe.  This recipe is for moments we are intensely craving pasta with alfredo sauce, and this is a very tasty way to make it better for you, but I would not recommend this recipe often as being "good for you".  It's just better than the traditional recipe because of the added fiber and whole grain.  That said, let's make some yummy pasta alfredo!

Alfredo Cream Sauce

1 cube butter

3/4 C heavy cream

1/3 C parmesan cheese

1 scoop Blendfresh spouted fiber blend

Cook: 1/2 box Barilla whole grain spaghetti

Cook pasta.  In a separate pot gently melt butter, then add heavy cream and stir until very warm and blended (do not boil or cream may separate).  At the last moment quickly add parmesan and Blendfresh fiber and whisk to blend.  Pour immediately over cooked pasta and mix together.  The parmesan will melt and the fiber will begin to thicken immediately, so you want them on the pasta as that happens so it's easier to work with.  You can still add it after it thickens, but it will become very thick, not like a traditional sauce.

Serve with steamed broccoli.  To make a complete meal serve with a protein.  In this picture I show turkey seasoned with Blendfresh Orange.  As an alternate, try kidney beans added to pasta for a vegetarian meal.

Full Power Caesar Dressing

Full Power Caesar Dressing

1 C olive oil (or Mediterranean blend oil)
1/4 C water
2 Tbsp lemon juice (fresh is best, I used bottled this time)
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar (or sub your own if you don't have it)
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard (I didn't have any so I used regular mustard)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 large egg yolk*
2 cloves fresh garlic
1/4 C Parmesan cheese (fresh is best, I used a bottled version this time)
2 Scoops Blendfresh Greens (raw, whole food, powdered fruit and veggie mix) (optional)

Add ingredients to your blender jar and blend until creamy.  Its best to let the flavors sit and come together for a day.  It can also be a dip.  Because of the use of raw egg yolk (as is traditional for Caesar dressing), use within a week or according to common sense and be aware that *Consuming raw or undercooked eggs or egg products can increase your risk of foodborne illness.  

This is the new favorite at my house!  My teens who were almost dragging their feet to eat their salad are now looking at me and asking "What did you do?!".  I'm hearing "This is the best salad dressing I've ever had!".  High praise from the family dinner table :)

I was experimenting with ways to use Blendfresh Green raw food powder.  I've recently been speaking more with chefs and caterers about using Blendfresh from a taste perspective.  It really adds so much more depth and dimension to recipes.

This dressing I've adapted from the Blendtec cookbook.  At first I made it without Blendfresh and tasted.  Then I added one scoop of Blendfresh Greens and liked it better, but thought the flavors would be good with a little more intensity.  So I added a second scoop, and that's the magic!  It's hard to describe how a hint of sweet from the lime and a touch of asparagus and other raw vegetables come together to create this whole amazing flavor.

Instinctively we add oil based dressings to our green salads.  The good oils actually aid in the uptake of minerals found in green plants.  So here is an even more powerful way to do it - add the veggies right into the dressing!  Enjoy and comment below how you like it.

Does Blendtec really make the most advanced blender in the world?

The answer is yes.  But don't take my word for it.  I'll show you why and you can decide for yourself.  If you want the short version, here are a couple of videos:

Click here to learn more about Blendfresh foods by Blendtec

Blendtec is an innovator company.  They don't just see what's out there and make small improvements. They lead with original ideas and inventions.  10% of the Blendtec employees (about 40-50 total) are engineers.  Compare this to a major competitor like Vitamix who has about 6 engineers, but 50 marketers on staff.  You can see where the emphasis lies.  This creative and cutting edge focus has lead to innovations like the following;

The Blendtec blade is blunt.  It doesn't cut your food, it hammers the heck out of it!  Since it doesn't need to be sharp and can never dull with this philosophy, it can be much thicker and stronger.  This means it will not break off when cutting through hard ice and frozen fruit, or even rake handles and iPads (as seen on the Will It Blend? show).  The engineer talks about this in detail in the video.  Other blenders that cut food instead, must be sharp.  Sharp blades must be thin.  What happens when something thin and hard and is forced into another hard object like ice?  It will break.  In the middle of blending.  And that is a huge safety issue.  

Actual blender blades

This article is to educate, not bash any other brand, so I'll let you do your own research on blade related blender recalls.  Just know you are safe with the Blendtec blade, and won't cut yourself with it either, whether you are cleaning it (doesn't come apart) or if you're reaching in to grab the bread dough you just kneaded in your blender!  (Always follow common sense safety guidelines and unplug before reaching in).

Because of the patented design of Blendtec's Wildside Jar, the ingredients inside spin around and then drop back down toward the blade.  You don't need to use a plunger or anything else to shove the food down to continue blending.  One less thing to clean, and safer too since plungers can get nicked and leave cuts that collect bacteria and food inside. 

For years Blendtec was only available to the commercial market.  This means restaurants and smoothie shops like Baskin Robbins and Planet Smoothie and coffee shops like Starbucks.  Working with the owners of these businesses, Blendtec learned to respond to what they needed in terms of programming.  How many seconds at what speed does it take to make the perfect macchiato?  Blendtec knows because through years of trial and error and talking with businesses that have to get it perfect, they have learned.  Now consumers get the benefits of all this feedback.

Blendtec blenders come programmed so you can touch a program button and walk away.  The blender will change gears and complete the cycle, then stop on its own.  Very useful for someone at home with a busy morning.  It is the only "smart" blender with shutoff safeties built in.

The smart touch interface is just like your smart phone, a touch screen that can quickly be wiped clean.  No knobs or buttons to have to push or turn, which collect food grime and can be unsanitary.

Here's where we get a little techy.  The drive socket is what spins the blade.  Because Blendtec warranties run 7-10 years (depending on your model), they don't want to see your blender back at the factory for a repair.  They want you blending happily on your way the whole time.  

Many other blenders are designed with a plastic piece here so as to strip itself over time (so you go buy another blender), or with a piece that's part rubber and designed to split in half under tremendous pressure (to hopefully stop blending before the blade breaks inside the jar).  Because the Blendtec blade is so thick and strong, and there is smart technology to stop the motor if needed, this piece can be made of hardened metal for long life.

Here's another shout-out to the engineering staff.  One thing they have been working on for years is a way to make blending more quiet, and they've done it.  This powerful motor spins upwards of 330 miles per hour and blends most anything your can imagine.  They can put more horsepower behind it (up to 3.8 horsepower) because of the metal drive socket and thick, strong blade.  In the last few years they have designed a duct and baffle system to quiet the motor and the fan that cools that powerful motor.  

The other thing that makes blending noisy is the fruit and ice or other ingredients hitting the sides of the jar during blending.  They've fixed that too with the Express Pro model.  You can find this in shops and restaurants, and in my kitchen too!  It's the one I have and LOVE.  See this post to learn more about different Blendtec models available and which one might be best for your lifestyle.

In a nutshell, these are a handful of the reasons I can say that Blendtec makes the most advanced blenders in the world.  If you have questions feel free to email me at jenn@coachjenngibbs.com.  

You should know just a few months ago, Blendtec spun off a sister company called Blendfresh.  This company makes a line of clean, raw, whole food powders to make recipes more healthful.  Take a look because if you'd like to get the best deal on a Blendtec, you can Join the Blendfresh Club, subscribe like so many others to Blendfresh foods and save hundreds!

What is Blendfresh by Blendtec?

Click here to Join and Shop

Blendtec is the maker of the most advanced blenders in the world, and has been for almost 40 years. Their blenders run all of Starbucks, Baskin Robbins and the big name smoothie shops in 92 countries around the globe.  You may have even seen their viral "Will It Blend?" show.  Click here if you'd like to see a two minute video of why they absolutely lead the blender industry by miles.

Blendtec has hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers, and they began looking for more ways to serve them.  What do you do as soon as you invest in a high quality blender?  You go buy produce of course!  You'll quickly outspend the price of your blender at the market, especially buying foods that are organic, pesticide free, and not genetically engineered.  This is where they found they could help.

Instead of paying premium prices at the end of the supply chain for produce (that may have been in transport for weeks), we now have a choice.  Blendtec has spun off a sister company called Blendfresh.  It's product line is just fruits and vegetables with the water gently removed, no fillers or artificial ingredients of any kind.  It's exactly what you'd expect from a company with a world-wide reputation for the best quality.

Through their patented process, they use light (not heat) to remove water from fresh produce.  The water is what causes spoilage, so we are left with a shelf-stable raw powder, without the use of preservatives!  It is recommended you keep your Blendfresh refrigerated once open, but unopened it can last 20 years in emergency food storage (for optimal nutrition use within 3 years is preferred).

Because of the Blendfresh method, the nutritional value and enzymes remain preserved in this raw, whole food.  This is more healthy than eating canned or freeze dried food (free drying results in about 13% loss of nutrients as determined by independent studies).

It has now become fast and convenient to eat more healthfully than ever before!  Blendfresh is clean, free of artificial ingredients and pesticides and non-GMO.  Now in a quick scoop you can enjoy nutrition like never before.  Add to your smoothie or favorite recipe (click here for ideas on how to use Blendfresh).  Your first thought will likely be for nutrition, but caterers and chefs are taking a look at Blendfresh for the culinary value these flavors add too.

Let's talk price.  There are $200-$300 of fresh produce in each Color bottle (depending on seasonality).  Purple vegetables and fruits are particularly expensive, which is one reason you don't see them in stores more often.  Think about how much air is inside a bell pepper - all of that must be transported carefully to avoid bruising, in the right time-frame to avoid spoiling, and then stocked, shelved, refrigerated, weighed, etc.  When all these steps are cut out, the savings can be passed on to you, the customer.  You get all that produce for just $50, or just $39.99 as a Blendfresh Club member (just $10 on time fee).  Amazing value, but that's what Blendtec wanted to bring you.  That doesn't even take into account how much unused produce that is spoiling in your fridge that you just throw away.  Take a look.

Face it, the easier it is to eat healthy, the more likely we are to do it!  And Blendfresh is EASY.  Our bodies are complicated - they do thousands of things we don't realize every day.  And to keep that up for years on end, a body needs a large variety of foods to bring a broad spectrum of nutrients.  What fruits and veggies did you eat last week?  Is it the same 5-10 you ate the week before?  How can a body thrive long term with such a limited supply of phytonutrient fuel?  Nutrition experts all agree that diversity is key for health.  Eat the rainbow, right?

Blendfresh starts with "Colors", bottles of fruit and vegetables synergistically combined by their functions within the body.  Click here to read the ingredient labels.  Reds are a mix of red fruits and veggies that support circulation - veins, heart, athletic recovery, etc.  Purples have a sweet berry flavor (no added sugar) and purple produce is good for brain function.  Oranges support the immune system.  And Blendfresh Greens have a systems balancing effect, high in valuable minerals, and containing no grasses or fillers.  Click here for an article specifically about how to evaluate a Greens supplement.

Next their vegan Protein Powder.  As a fitness and nutrition coach I've tried MANY protein supplements, and it's hard to find a good one, especially a vegan one.  Most people do not get enough plant based nutrition in general, and especially plant proteins.  This is an easy, tasty way to do it.  Blendfresh Protein powder is a raw, whole food and provides nutrition from eight different sources, versus one source if you are eating meat as your protein.  It has a slightly sweet taste from honey, a healthy natural sweetener and it includes the fiber that occurs in these plants.

The Blendfresh Sprouted Fiber blend contains enough soluble and insoluble fiber in the right ratios to meet the FDA "cholesterol lowering" claim for the label.  It contains 15 different sprouts (the powerhouse of all foods) to provide excellent nutrition and keep digestion moving.  Since fiber binds with dietary fat, this is a great product to use for "damage control" if you know you have had a less than ideal nutrition day.  Of course, very few Americans get enough fiber daily, leaving room for disease and stomach issues to set in.

And lastly the Blendfresh Probiotic.  It is a variety of hearty good bacteria strains that can withstand the acidic journey through the stomach, and provide the most potent effect once in the gut.  Unlike many probiotics that begin to die once they are sealed into a jar, the Blendfresh Probiotic is
packaged with blackstrap molasses, an ideal food to help them thrive until they are put to use.  They are uniquely vegan grown (on fermented vegetables instead of yogurt). To equal this amount of good bacteria in a serving you would need to eat 10 cups of yogurt!

All of the Blendfresh products are gluten free, dairy free, and soy free, making them perfect for sensitive diet situations, especially in a family setting where only a few individuals have dietary restrictions and the dinner time dynamic is changed.

 We've only just scratched the surface of ways to use Blendfresh, but any way that gets more plant based nutrition into your body is the right way!  As you begin to explore and experiment with Blendfresh please pass along your favorite ways to use it.

Blendtec is sure you will LOVE Blendfresh, but just to make you feel great about trying it, they have a 90 day, bottom-of-the-bottle guarantee.  That means even if you use it all and aren't satisfied they will refund you.  People rave about their blenders, and now they want you to rave about their Blendfresh foods!  So give it a try, and if you need to upgrade your blender at the same time, you'll get a special deal for that too.

Which Blendtec model is right for me?

You're thinking "They're all so beautiful, how do I choose?" right?  Well everything looks good when it's going to make your life easier and better!  Let's walk through the differences and see which features will fit your lifestyle best.

Total Blender
You may be most familiar with the Total Blender as seen in Costco demonstrations and home shows (pictured in the middle).  This model has been around for a while (about 8 years) and is fairly well known.  It comes with the Wildside Jar (patented blender jar that flows the food toward the blade so you don't need to shove it down) and has a handful of push button programs, and a blend counter on the front that's fun to watch. Like all Blendtec blenders, the jar doesn't dis-assemble and to wash it you only need to run warm water and soap in it for a moment and then rinse, though it is dishwasher safe.  It comes with a 7 year warranty and is usually priced $300-$329 in warehouse club stores like Costco, and up to $500 at other retail stores or specialty online sites.

Blendtec Express
The Blendtec Express blender (with the fruit in it on the left) is a step up.  You can find it online or in specialty kitchen stores for $600 - $750.  I most recently saw it at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $649.  Since Blendtec has a huge staff of engineers (over 40!) they are constantly innovating and since the Total Blender has come out, they've learned a lot.  Here's what you get with the new and improved Blendtec Express;

Powerful 1650-watt, 3.2 peak horsepower motor

Illuminated, smart touch interface

Four preprogrammed cycles: Smoothies, Ice Cream, Whole Juice, Hot Soup

8-speed capacitive touch slider for precision speed control

Illuminated counter that displays remaining time on blends

Unique blunt safety blade

Completely flat interface for easy cleaning

Fits under most cabinetry

Compatible with all Blendtec jars

8 year warranty

Blendtec Express Pro
And saving the best for last, the Blendtec Express Pro model.  This is the Cadillac of all blenders.  Blendtec makes the most advanced blenders in the world, and this is their top of the line model.  It was built to withstand commercial settings like Starbucks and Planet Smoothie shops, so if you like the best of everything, this is the model for you.  It retails for $1500 and is worth every penny!  The strongest blender so it will blend everything from your iPad to your garden rake (see Will It Blend), and yet the sound enclosure and motor quieting baffles will let you blend without waking up the sleeping household or your neighbor!  Here's the breakdown;

Commercial-grade 1800-watt, 3.8 peak horsepower motor

Sound enclosure and sound dampening innovations enables it to blend at a sound level comparable to normal conversation

42 customizable preprogrammed cycles, including your name and programming on the screen!

Illuminated, capacitive touch interface with automatic shutoff

10-speed capacitive touch slider for precision speed control

Multi-speed Pulse

Unique blunt safety blade

Completely flat interface for easy cleaning

Compatible with all Blendtec jars

10 year warranty

What's this Twiser Jar from Blendtec?!

At first glance it may look like just a regular blender jar, but the Twister Jar is different.  Remember how in your mother told you to mix something in a bowl, then stop and scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again?  This is the modern simplified version.  Throw your food into your Twister Jar and turn the patented Twister lid the opposite way from how the blade spins.  The two black scrapers that extend down the sides from the lid scrape the accumulated food from the side of the jar.  Genius!  From nuts to fresh nut butter in about 20 seconds right in front of you!  Keep reading to see how you can get your Twister Jar here for less than the actual Blendtec website!

The Twister Jar fits any model of Blendtec blender and is a smaller jar than the full sized Wildside or Four Side jars, so ideal for small batches of single serve protein drinks, salad dressing, baby food, etc.  It is specifically meant to handle more like a food processor, so things like hummus, olive tapenade, pesto, granola, dips, thick shakes, etc are perfectly made in this.  

It comes with a gripper top for more liquid blends that don't need to use the scraper top.  And as a bonus... the Spectacula!  This is a great spatula engineered specifically to fit way down the curved side of the Twister Jar.  No more bending your wrist at odd angles to scrape your jar out.  And since Blendtec blades are not sharp (they pulverize food instead of cutting it, and this way can be thicker, stronger and safer than any other blender), your blade will never cut your spatula and leave places for bacteria to grow in it.

How do I get it?!  Through this link you can Join the Blendfresh Club (a $10 one time fee) and get access to discounts on all things from Blendtec and Blendfresh, their new sister line of  raw, whole foods.  Just click here, Join as a Club member (there no minimum monthly purchase unless you purchase a discounted blender).  

The Twister Jar is BPA free, compatible with all Blendtec blenders, has easy to read markings on the jar up to 16 ounces, and has a 3 year warranty.  It weighs about 1.5 pounds and is 4.75" wide x 7" deep (with spout and handle) x 7.5" tall (9.75" with lid).

LOVE this jar!

I have used this jar multiple times every day since I took it out of the box!  I've made ther Berry Soft Serve recipe from the booklet every day.  I've made Raw Ranch Dresshing, Macadamia Cream, Raw Russian Salad Dressing, just to name a few.  Our family is just in love with this new jar.  The spatula is an engineering triumph and it actually gets out every last bit of our expensive organic nut recipes with ease.  We are impressed with the removable lid centers and recipe booklet too.  All the pieces of this package are well thought out and well worth the price.  Bravo, Blendtec, you've put together something worthy of your amazing blender.  No cheaping-out on anything.  We are customers since 2006.

Must-have for hummus, nut butter, and more...

Wasn't sure how handy this would be, but I'm a big fan of hummus and spreads, so I thought I'd try it.  What I didn't realize was that its more petite size fits perfectly under counter when atop my blender, and it's just the right size for a morning smoothie for one.  I put in all my fresh greens and fruits with a little ice or water, and get 16 oz. of heaven without using the bigger Wildside or Standard jars.  LOVE IT!  Clean up is simple too.  Great product for the money ($119.95) and dramatically different than any other offering from Blendtec.
