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 lucky, a dip in a pool or in the ocean. If at home, very cold air conditioning and nice cold food like spinach or gazpacho soup and a wonderful salad.
