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.

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 (

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.

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.

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
