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!

I like to soak my feet in cool/cold water before bedtime – either sitting by the side of the pool or the side of the bathtub (not quite as enjoyable as the pool) and of course you can’t beat air conditioning.

Cold food and drink and sit in front of a fan!

My favorite way to cool off is iced tea. But if i had a good blender, I would be drinking a lot more smoothies and margaritas!
twowowies on 7.14.2014
Definitely AC. However, I don’t personally have any so that poses a problem. Had the HVAC guy out this morning to maybe remedy that situation.

Lots of iced coffee and the air conditioning on full blast!

The beach, definitely.

Best way to cool off (besides staying in AC) is jumping in my pool.

I live in Alabama, there’s no better or other way to cool off than good ‘ole air conditioning. But a close second would be a dip in the Gulf of Mexico with a cold, spiked drink in hand!!

A good book and a large glass of iced Pepsi in the air conditioning!!

I love frozen grapes and bananas when it gets too hot. I also live in air conditioning the whole Texas summer. I’m becoming socially inept and getting stir crazy.
