I love an icy Mojito in the summertime! Add a sprig of fresh mint... heaven!
It might be overcast this morning but by afternoon it should be sunny and pushing 100ยบ… Summer is in full effect, whether I like it or not. I'm not a hot weather girl, never have been. My hair frizzes, I sweat, I hate wearing shorts. Things I do love about summer? Fresh fruit, ice cream and tall, cool drinks. I hereby declare it Smoothie Season!
Hamilton Beach, one of the most trusted name in small kitchen appliances (and the title of an awesome instrumental surf rock tune by my beloved Satan's Pilgrims) has a great range of blenders that are just begging to whip up some smoothies this summer. Possibly the most handy smoothie-making contraption is the new Thermal Cooler Plus 10 Speed Blender, which features not only the standard 40 oz. glass blending jar and patented Hamilton Beach Wave~Action® system for smooth results without ice chunks, but also a 48 oz. thermal cooler that attaches directly to the blender for making icy drinks and then removed to take anywhere you need to go. The Thermal Cooler has an easy-carry handle and will keep your blended drinks cold for up to eight hours! I wish we were going to the beach but since we're landlocked here in Kansas, I think our Thermal Cooler Plus 10 Speed Blender will be used mostly for picnics in the park or at the zoo.

If you'd rather keep your smoothies to yourself, consider Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blenders. They feature one touch blending and 12-oz. individual-serving jars with convenient drink-through travel lids. The jars are dishwasher-safe and fit in most car cupholders. I think they'd be perfect for people who like frothy coffee drinks but want to save money or dieters looking to make meal replacement shakes more palatable. You can even get a Single-Serve Blender with two jars and two lids, which would be great if you're a little slow on dishwashing…

To enter and win a Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender with two jars and two lids, please comment on this post with your favorite blender concoction.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite blender concoction is smoothies with fresh fruit and yogurt. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI usually add some yogurt, ice, milk and bananas and berries to get it all incorporated. I give these concoctions to my nephews and nieces and they are none the wiser that it is good for them and not ice cream.
ReplyDeletethis would be great for smoothies & other summer refreshments
ReplyDeleteLately, I've been making a wonderful concoction of frozen strawberries and orange juice. Really refreshing, and nothing but fruit. Filling, too, and it satisfies my sweet craving!

ReplyDeleteChocolate Malts are my favorite concoction, and this would be perfect for them because no one else in the family cares for them. They could use the big blender for shakes, and I'd use this for my malts.

I love to make any sort of smoothie. I take some fresh fruit, juice, and yogurt and blend it together. I usually add a dash of soy powder to it for extra protein too (shhh, don't tell the kids it's good for them).
ReplyDeleteI pick a ton of blueberries in the summer and freeze them on cookie sheets so they are frozen little marbles. Then I store them in ziploc baggies and all year long I take them out to make blueberry smoothies with some milk, yogurt and lemon zest. They are delicious and very healthy. thanks for the great giveaway.

we have a base of frozen strawberries and frozen banana and yogurt and usually a little OJ to thin it out, and then we add a little of any other fruit we have at the time. pretty basic, but yummy!
ReplyDeleteI like strawberry, banana and peach smoothies.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite blender concoction would have to be Fruit Smoothie Surprise! "What is Fruit Smoothie Surprise?" you ask. Well, Fruit Smoothie Surprise takes a couple scoops from a bag of frozen mixed fruit (which includes pineapples, strawberries, peach, honeydew, and mango), a handful of just frozen strawberries, and either milk or orange juice, and blends them together on high. The surprise? What it'll taste like this time!

I love a Strawberry Milk Shake made with Breyers ice cream. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteTo make a fast and easy granita style dessert (really a fancy sno-cone) I make a simple syrup and infuse it with fruit puree or fresh ginger or even mint. After the syrup is made I often add a little bit of liquor or vodka, to give it more flavor of course! I then use the blender to crush up ice and then pour the cooled syrup on top. Its a perfect way to cool off in the afternoon without having fatty ice cream!
