Talk about a dream machine!!! I’ve been having a BLAST testing my new Blendtec Total Classic Blender with the WildSide jar and the Twister Jar accessory. I have been putting them through the paces, so I could report to you about the quality of this powerful and versatile kitchen machine. In case you hadn’t guessed, I am head-over-heels for the Blendtec! It’s 1560 watts of incredible power with a 4″ precision tuned blade. I was amazed when I looked at the blades in both the Wildside Jar AND the Twister Jar. To look at them, they are about 1/16″ thick and blunt — no sharp edges. You KNOW the first thing I did was reach in and run my finger across it. While it wasn’t 100% blunt, my finger definitely didn’t meet any sharp edges, unlike the multitude of other blenders I have owned, over the years. The Wild Side Jar (it has an extra 5th side) holds almost 3 quarts and is BPA-free, so it can tackle jobs that other blenders simply don’t have the capacity to handle. And speed!!!! Oh my goodness! It’s phenomenal how quickly you can whip up something healthy and delicious, with little, to no, effort. This professional quality appliance will change the way you work in your kitchen. You won’t believe everything I’ve done with it, so far!
This is the Blendtec Total Classic Blender, Wildside Jar, Twister Jar, cookbook and spatula I reviewed and the same set that one lucky Busy-at-Home reader will win for their own kitchen!!!!
From the moment I started reading about the Blendtec, I knew that making ice cream would be my first attempt at using it. I was so curious as to how ice cream could be frozen without an ice cream machine or without being full of gritty, ice crystals. Well, the Blendtec performed beyond my wildest dreams AND provided something I never thought could happen — a healthy ice cream that my kids will eat. After reading through the options in the included Blendtec cookbook, I made a few variations of one of their ice cream recipes. The beauty of it is that you can make different flavors for different family members, so everyone can have their favorites and a batch is literally done in LESS than 60 seconds!
I actually made three different flavors of ice cream in a span of about 20 minutes. Taking pictures of the steps, the finished products and enjoying their yumminess took way more time than actually making the ice cream. Using frozen fruit, coconut milk, lemon juice and only 2-3 Tablespoons of sugar, I could mix up a batch in less than 60 seconds! It's absolutely DELISH - creamy, smooth, & satisfying!
- First I made raspberry, then peach and then pineapple. You can’t believe how good (and how much healthier) these are compared to commercial ice cream!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 - 3 Tablespoons sugar (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 rounded cups frozen fruit (choose your favorite)
Instructions
- I used the Twister Jar for this recipe, but I think it would do just as well in the Wild Side Jar.
- Simply place all the ingredients in the jar, in the order listed. If you're using the Twister Jar, hold the Twister Lid with one hand and with the other hand, select the Speed Up button (up arrow) to Speed 7 and run for 40-50 seconds or until smooth. Turn the twister Lid counter-clockwise while blending.
- If making this in the WildSide jar, I would double the recipe and select the Ice Cream button to make it.
- Serve your delicious, healthy, soft-serve ice cream immediately.

I haven’t tried it, yet, but I’m toying with the idea of freezing mashed pumpkin or canned pumpkin in ice cube trays, then using that in place of frozen fruit and adding in all those warm, fall spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves to make a pumpkin pie version of this ice cream. I’ll let you know, if I get it done. :)
Next I tested the ice shaving (crushing) feature. All the promos say that the Blendtec can turn ice cubes into snow in seconds. Not chunky ice crystals or gritty, slushy ice, but snow. Oh my gravy! They didn’t lie.
I started with 5 cups of ice cubes in my WildSide jar.
I put the lid on the jar and selected the Ice Crush button. It's pre-programmed and shut itself off automatically at the end of the cycle.
Extraordinary! I've never seen so much power and the job was completed in seconds! It's, literally, snow. This would make fantastic blended drinks, smoothies and snow cones. Yum!
Next, I filled my WildSide jar with a combination of veggies, that I just had in the fridge. I broke them into chunks and added about 3/4 cup of water. I don’t know if your family is like mine, but they love veggies and their flavor, IF they don’t know that’s what they’re eating. I have been camouflaging vegetables in my family’s favorite dishes for years; and after seeing all that the Blendtec can accomplish, I had an idea. With the cool fall weather, soup is a staple in our home and no matter what kind I make, I love to cook lots of vegetables in the stock for the flavor and nutrition. Not being fans of very soft-cooked vegetables, my family rarely wants to eat them, though; and I either puree them and add them back to the stock, or simply throw them out. I knew with more liquid and a few seasonings, I could use these vegetables to make my own version of V-8 juice, but I wanted to make a slightly thicker, albeit smooth base to add to soups.
The veggies I used to make my veggie "soup and stew base". It was just what i had in the fridge and it turned out SOOO good!
So I pureed a full blender jar of RAW veggies in only 3/4 cup of water, adding about 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 2 Tablespoons of worcestershire and 1 teaspoon of salt. The resulting “vegetable base” was delicious and perfect to bring extraordinary flavor to soups and stew broths! It’s simple and you can use your family’s favorite vegetables, herbs and seasonings. I normally wouldn’t put cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber or tomatoes in my chicken soup stock, but the addition of the extra fiber, flavor (and antioxidants) was a huge hit! The other “up-side” to prepping the vegetables in this way is that I’m not fishing hot, cooked vegetables out of my stock, then trying to blend hot vegetables and liquid in the blender and then, finally, adding them back to the stock pot. Much simpler and safer, this way!
The resulting veggie base had great flavor to impart to soups and stews. I'm guessing it would be fairly easy to mix into spaghetti sauce and casserole sauces, as well. I poured some in this bowl to try and give you an idea of how thick and rich it is. This is about 1/3 of what the batch actually made, so it would definitely add fabulous flavor to a batch of homemade chicken stock or a beef stew gravy. Yum!
After vegetables, I decided to make a typical blender or food processor staple — bread crumbs. The difference was I was going to use fresh bread, not dry or toasted. Typically, that choice would result in a blender full of gummy dough balls. There is definitely no reason to go to the expense of buying pre-made bread crumbs, any longer. Use your own homemade bread and you’ll know exactly what’s in them. Plus, you can season them as you wish. Of course, if you have day old or dry bread, it will be simple to make your bread crumbs, but if you don’t — no worries. Blendtec’s got you covered. :)
I tore four slices of bread into large pieces and put them in the WildSide jar. I used the "Speed Up" arrow button to go to speed one.
In about 15 seconds, I had these gorgeous bread crumbs -- perfect for meatballs, topping casseroles, meat loaf or breading something to be fried. Super simple! They could easily be seasoned or toasted.
Curious, and maybe even a little skeptical, the final task I out set out to accomplish with my Blendtec was grinding meat. I know all of you struggle, just as much as I do, navigating the grocery store in light of steadily rising food prices and incomes that don’t keep up with the increased cost of living. Paying nearly $4.00 a lb for hamburger is very difficult for me to justify. So when I saw bottom round roast go on sale for $1.98 in one of our local markets, I decided to put the Blendtec to the test. I know you will be as excited as I am at what I achieved and the potential for savings and better nutrition that can come from grinding meat, fresh, in your own kitchen.
Bottom round roast for $1.98 a lb. I intend to turn it into very economical, fresh and lean ground beef!
I cut the roast into approximately 2 inch cubes. I will do a better job of trimming the fat BEFORE cubing it, next time. The thicker pieces of fat, didn't grind as easily as the meat and a few larger chunks of fat needed to be picked out of the finished meat. But, no one was more surprised than me at how quickly and effectively the Blendtec produced ground beef from my roast.
Can you believe it! I couldn't be more pleased!
The hamburgers were easily shaped and fried, just as though I had purchased the meat, already ground.
Delicious, inexpensive and easy!
I don’t have one reservation about the Blendtec Total Classic Blender with the WildSide jar. Upon first receiving it, I was disappointed to learn I had been sent a factory reconditioned base with new jars. My disappointment was immediately alleviated when I learned that reconditioned Blendtec blenders have the same 7-year warranty as the new models, because they have been restored to like new condition, often having been returned for cosmetic reasons. Any necessary repairs are made and the good as new appliance is ready for a new owner. The giveaway winner will receive the same high quality items that I’ve been testing in my own kitchen — a factory reconditioned Blendtec Total Classic Blender Base with new Wild Side Jar and new Twister Jar!
There is so much more I’m excited to try with the Blendtec, but this post is getting longer and longer and I definitely need to leave room for the giveaway! There are dressings, and sauces, dips and nut butters, hummus and freshly milled flours, in my very near future. The potential of this amazing appliance is limited only by imagination. I can’t wait to test it further and I can unreservedly recommend it as a professional-quality, essential, kitchen appliance that will eliminate the need for, and most certainly outperform, many of your other appliances. You’re going to LOVE it!

Would have to try the homemade ice cream! I also love the idea of making your own ground beef!
I would try making my own ground chicken. Tried it in my food processor and didn’t work too well.
Hannah, I’ll be trying that very soon and I have every confidence that the Blendtec will handle it easily. Thanks for stopping by!
How am I going to choose? I want to try them all! I have a frozen berry yogurt every day so will probably start with that. I also think it will be amazing to grind my own hamburger. How about chicken? Have you tried that yet?
I’ll be trying chicken very soon. I have an idea for some yummy chicken meatballs!
I definitely want to try the ice cream!
The first thing I would make would be margaritas unless its before 5, then I would have to resort to smoothies.
lol Jo!! Whichever you end up with, they’ll be ultimately smooth and delish!
I would start with a green smoothie and go from there!
Hmmm… the ice cream sounds yummy, but with the chilly weather coming on, I might be more likely to use it to puree some soup. No matter what, I think I’d be using it just about every day. (Oh, the ice crushing abilities~ my kids would be so happy! Me too, really!
)
Lis, I know what you mean! Every day I think of some new way to use it. It’s a dream!
A green smoothie.
I’d try the homemade ground beef.

The first thing I would make is healthy ice cream! We eat a ton of ice cream and I love the fact that you can make it out of healthy stuff!! I enjoyed this blog….I had been thinking about a VitaMixer, but you make a great case for the Blendtec!
Sarea, I’m glad you stopped by! I’ll look forward to “seeing” you around the blog.
I would make rice flour because we just learned my daughter is incredibly gluten intolerant. I can’t afford all the expensive pre-made flours in order to be able to make her baked foods, bread, crackers, etc. Since she is 3 it is hard for her to understand why she can’t have the same things her sisters can have. Prepackaged g-free food is SO expensive we can’t afford it right now. I would LOVE a Blentec!
Gina, it would definitely be a life saver for preparing special diets. I have a daughter and a sister who struggle with the same difficulties and you’re right; the Blendtec definitely opens some new doors to saving money on the special foods they need.
The very first thing would be to make crushed ice because I would want to to see this baby in action as soon as I opened the box. Right after that I would ground some chicken I have in my freezer.
I would make a green smoothie or ice cream!
definitely ice cream, i’ve always wanted an ice cream maker but there’s really no more room for extra appliances… this is so awesome!

Hmm – the list is endless of what I would make first given the fact that I burned up my blender a month or so ago. (so mad at me!) Our rainy season has officially arrived – with that I think I would probably make a veggie base for soup. Its also Pumpkin Time so I would also love to see how quickly it can puree pumpkin for a pie. Or applesauce. Or a smoothie. While my soup simmered away, I am quite certain I could find more things to make. Wonderful!!
I would try some soups …broccoli or potato …and I want to try making ice cream with a Blendtec. Your ground meat, too ….I am impressed with how that came out!
Definitely ice cream!
This is going to be so boring, but I would make crushed ice. We are living in a place with no ice machine in the door of the fridge and I miss my crushed ice!
We’d make some fresh broccoli soup!

What a fabulous product! I would first “test drive” by making blueberry ice cream and then I would move on to grinding the beef that I buy in bulk and on sale. This is the kind of product that people trying to eat healthhier would really want.
green smoothie, yes to health
A peach smoothie – yum!
Breakfast Smoothies – strawberry & banana

That’s so cool that you can grind meat! I would do that!
I’d make a smoothie I’m sure in about half the time that I make it on my current outdated Cuisinart and without the chunks of fruit and ice that get left behind. So want one of these or a Vitamix to make some totally smooth smoothies!
We would start with milkshakes first (something safe and easy)

Definitely raspberry vegan ice cream!
I would make a smoothie for my smoothie loving toddler
The first thing I would make would be banana ice cream.

sweetheart4171(at)yahoo(dot)com
MILKSHAKES of course
I would make a green smoothie
I think the first thing I would make is a classic Green Smoothie… or perhaps I’d celebrate winning by making a Frozen Margarita! I have been lusting after a Blendtec for ages now! starting last January 2012 I embarked on a journey for health and healing by transitioning to a 100% Raw Vegan diet. So far I’ve lost 90 lbs, stopped the onset of hereditary diseases and lost all depression and mental foggyness. The journey even led me to rediscovering my spirituality. Unfortunately, the journey also claimed the life of two perfectly innocent consumer grade blenders. I use a blender for almost everything, and so many times a day. Now that I find myself once again blender-less I dream of using this Blendtec to make smoothies, raw soups, juices, nut milks, sprouted flours, nut pate, dressings, desserts, jams, and the list goes on and on and on and on. I spend so much of my day and this blender and twister jar would make my meal preparation SO MUCH more manageable!
I would make a greek yogurt and berry smoothie!
I would definitely make homemade ice cream first!
ice cream and smoothies

I would make a strawberry banana smoothie
I guess I’m gonna sound like everyone else in saying that I would make smoothies. I’ve been wanting to do a green drink.
Of course it would be ice cream…oh yum. We would have to make pineapple ice cream/whip, we miss the Dole pineapple whip and I think this machine will be able to achieve that creaminess.
I would use the Blendtec to make a hot and cold meal. I would first use the Blendtec to make a hot tomato basil soup and then cool it off with use red raspberry ice cream. What an awesome blender!
They have a recipe for Butternut Squash soup on their website that I’d love to try!
I would make a non fat, cream of broccoli soup!
A Nutella Smoothie!
I would start simple, probably with fresh pesto using items that would normally choke up my immersion blender, then make my mom’s recipe for spaghetti sauce, then I would probably start trying to make ravioli filling or spice and fruit puree to put in homemade mead or hard cider.
PESTO!!!!!
I would TOTALLY make smoothies first!
I would have to try to make ice cream first.

Now that it’s getting so suddenly cold out (and in our old drafty house – inside as well!!) SOUPS are starting to sound like the perfect supper. My Honey/Hubby loves beans, legumes and whole grains.
My first culinary experiment would probably trying to recreate this fabulous Italian White Bean Soup with Fennel, Sausage and Escarole. I think it gets it’s awesome creamy flavor first from cooking the beans in a rich stock with lots of chopped soup/stew veggies and then puree as much of the veggies as you can along with about half of the beans. Reheat adding the cooked sausage and sauteed fennel, And finally the escarole torn or cut in ribbons. Garnish with fresh crisp fried julienned sage leaves.
Yum – just writing this is making me hungry! I would use this wonderful prize everyday to make fruit/yogurt smoothies, warm weather cocktails, sauces and lots of pureed and cream soups!
The very first thing I would make…is soft serve ice cream….I love ice cream…and knowing I can create it with my favorite flavors…would be a delicious thought….Thank you for this contest.
My family LOVES smoothies! It’s a great way to keep them eating healthy. I’d love to replace the Osterizer my husband came with when we married 14 years ago.

either spaghetti sauce or margaritas!
My teenager loves to make smoothies & milkshakes with our old nearly worn-out blender & gets pretty creative with the ingredients. He would think it was Christmas with this one so the first thing we’d make would probably be one of his smoothies, lol.
I would actually give this as a gift! We received a Vitamix as a wedding present…I’d feel really selfish having both a Vitamix AND a Blendtec! But my mama would love it so so much.
We love fresh smoothies so that would be the first thing I would make
I’m pretty sure the first thing made would be a smoothy made by my daughter
