Hi friends! We’re celebrating a special day today, the fifth anniversary of Tasty Kitchen! Five years of delicious recipes and fabulous community. We want to say thanks to you for being a part of Tasty Kitchen, so we’re having a week of giveaways—5 years, 5 days of fun loot. Here we go!
Today, it’s all about the Blendtec, baby. Summer leaves us craving cold stuff! Milkshakes, smoothies, cold soups, icy coffee, even nut milks. We all need a mean machine for blending, and the Blendtec WildSide blender is definitely that. Check out these scrumptious blender recipes:
Pineapple Coconut Pear Milkshakes from TK member Ann. So creamy and coconutty.
Nutella S’more Iced Coffee from TK member Lindsey. No fire needed! And it has marshmallow whipped cream. Score.
Chocolate Hazelnut Milk from Three Many Cooks. All you need to know is two words: liquid Nutella. Amen.
Chilled Tomato Soup & Green Goddess Whipped Cream from Tami of Running with Tweezers. Perfect for summer.
Watermelon Jalapeno Margaritas from Jackie Dodd of Domestic Fits. Sweet meets heat. And tequila. Yeah, baby.
So, are you ready to win that blender? It’s easy!

If I had a pool that would be my #1 way to cool off but since I don’t I like any and all beverages served with tons of ice – Moscow Mule being my current favorite (drank responsibly, of course!).

Ice pops. I had an awesome watermelon agave one yesterday that I bought at whole foods and unwrapped immediately after it was swiped at the checkout lane. It hit the spot.

Open the freezer door and breath deeply for at least 2 minutes! Helps but kills the electric bill.
