ReplyDeleteJust perfect for making berry smoothies with frozen berries, yoghurt, milk & honey. Not to mention making a devine mint dressing for new potatoes
ReplyDeleteIt would be just great for making mayo, all kinds of sauces. I am an older citizen who has loved food cookery most of my life. My old bones in my hands just don't work as well as the use to. This would be a real aid. I would love to win it.

ReplyDeleteLalainya Hayward
This would be amazing for me as I'm moving out of home and into my first flat next year! It'd help save a bit of money, plus my flat mates would love me for it. ;) I really like smoothies so I think I'd make lots of smoothies with it if I won, or maybe some soups. Using a blender to make soups would be a great way to save time!
ReplyDeleteForgot to add - that 'ice crush' option is seriously awesome. Don't think I've ever seen that on a blender before.
DeleteWhat an awesome giveaway! If I were to win the blender I'd be using it for smoothies all the time as part of my new diet - I'm no longer allowed to have gluten, dairy or refined sugar (plus a load of other stuff) so smoothies are a huge part of my new life. :)
ReplyDeleteSmoothies, just in time for summer with seasonal fruit
ReplyDeleteI would get back into the habit of making spirulina smoothies again, summer milkshakes for the kids, fruit coulis, cream, whip up a weekly hummus (am currently mashing by hand), and blend soups, to name a few ideas.
ReplyDeleteI wuold love to win this, need to get into smoothies etc - my teenagers will be delighted especially my blueberry lover!
ReplyDeleteLiz W
I would give it to my lovely hubby he has gotten into making me banana & chocolate smoothies and my favourite fresh strawberry smoothie. I would love his smoothie making ways to continue with an incredible kitchen aid blender
ReplyDeleteI'd use it to make truffles rather than smoothies!
ReplyDeleteI would love this to make some yummy healthy smoothies to help me along in my get healthy mission!!
ReplyDeleteSmoothies for us also, our food processor that we currently use is on its way out and we have fruit smoothies for breakfast every day, so fingers xd.
ReplyDeleteYummy summer smoothies for my kiddies and maybe a few cocktails for the adults :)
ReplyDeleteOh this would be great for making smoothie and juice combo's for our Yoku ice block maker! We are looking forward to a summer of sticky fingers and happy faces!
ReplyDeleteSmoothies in my house to - I have just started putting spinach in my smoothies and it would be great to have something a bit more powerful to use. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteKaren B
Yum! Summer cocktails with crushed ice.
ReplyDelete- Resh
Banana dacquiries are sublime made in the blender with Malibu. unsweetened pineapple juice, coconut cream and ice. So summery and so delish.
ReplyDeleteSmoothies would be delicious as would slushies, yum!
ReplyDeleteI regularly make soy milk and nut milks so I would love to be able to have anew blender with this am mount of power.My old one groans and threatens to die if I use it long.
ReplyDeleteLesley B
I would love this so I could make my morning smoothie, and also for protein balls, aioli, slices, cocktails, soups, baby food and any other recipes where it could help me out. I've never had a machine that could crush ice before! It would stay on my bench all of the time
ReplyDeleteIf I win I will be keeping it for myself - my blender is always on the go and just about ready to conk!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely smoothies this time of the year, they go down wholesale with all in our family.

ReplyDeleteAntonia Gibson antoniagibs@gmail.com
Smoothies, slushies, other cool drinks and making biscuit crumbs for baking :)
ReplyDeleteI hope I win
ReplyDeleteWow were would I begin, there are so many fantastic things I could make................ I really hope I win
ReplyDeleteI would make green smoothies with this. You need a really grunty machine to blend the greens well. The fact that this is so cute is a major bonus!!
ReplyDeleteI would make fruit smoothies with this, without banana. I'm not a fan of banana :)
ReplyDeleteI would love the pink blender, pink is my favourite colour (an unpopular choice for some) and I would love my own blender to make smoothies I can actually have. This is because I'm allergic to milk and the majority of smoothies available to purchase all have cream or milk, and I can't have them. With my own blender I can make dairy free smoothies that I can enjoy in summer! My name is Saachi Shahri, email is farjsingh@gmail.com :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter entered, and I would love to win this Blender for her as pleasing a child with an allergy is no piece of cake ;) and It's very difficult to find something she can actually eat. This blender would really make our year, not only hers but seeing the smile on her face will make mine too :D My name is Rosh Shahri, email: Rosche.prakash@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteAlso the red blender would be amazing :)
DeleteBaby food! And pesto - yum!
ReplyDeleteThose mint chocolate truffles and heaps of other things I can't make because I don't have a cute PINK blender.
ReplyDeleteI would make all kinds of smoothies
ReplyDeleteI'd use it for smoothies, soup and baby food. I have to make most of my own food as my baby boy has reflux and it's a dairy free diet for me :-( Melanie Holdaway
ReplyDeletesmoothis, hummus, pesto, soup,instant icecream, oh the list goes on! thanks for the chance to win this amazing prize.
ReplyDeletealison

ReplyDeleteStacey Roughan
OOh summer smoothies galore!!!
ReplyDeleteAmanda Boyle
Ohhh my gosh I would LOVE to win this blender (in red to match the rest of my kitchen appliances! :D ).
ReplyDeleteI'm 9 months pregnant (yes, 9!) and I would love to have a blender for ice cold summer smoothies and eventually, baby food! <3
(Real name Christine Caldwell :) )
ReplyDeleteWould LOVE to win this because I'm obsessed with yummy summer smoothies at the moment with fresh berries. And my blender has a big horrible crack up it so it's on its last legs :( Claire Forsythe
ReplyDeleteShortly before the birth of our daughter we started making smoothies for breakfast. We used fruit, mainly, but added all kinds of additional healthy ingredients ranging from yogurt to wheat germ. Looking back, those years were our healthiest ones and we think the smoothies was a big part of it. Unfortunately our trusty blender fell to the floor and broke, putting an end to our blended breakfasts. A KitchenAid blender would be just the ticket to get out breakfasts back to top-notch!
ReplyDeleteJaco
I would love love LOVE this blender. You know what's super hard to live without when you don't have a blender? breadcrumbs! I would use my blender to make lots of things including breadcrumbs. Then I can add those breadcrumbs to meatloaf and meatballs and crumb beautiful fresh fish and top cheesey cauliflower and macaroni cheese. Oh the uses, so many uses. Please enter me into the draw for the Blender. Many hearts!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a blender to make smoothies. I purchased a blender and it didn't take long before it starting leaking :(.
ReplyDeleteIf i was lucky to win I would christen it by making a "Pina Colada smoothie made with fresh pineapple and coconut cream. The "Kitchen Aid Blender" would be the beginning of a perfect marriage as a No1 kitchen tool to have in the my kitchen. Fingers crossed. Wendy Reading
ReplyDeleteIf I was lucky enough to win this I would keep it for my family and make delish ice crushed drinks for over the summer to keep me cool before baby no2 comes out mid Jan!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Sophie Cattle
I would make cocktails every evening, all summer long - sitting on the deck, in the sun.
ReplyDeleteI love entertaining and would love to make enough drinks so no one is waiting especially smoothies. I would experiment with different yoghurts and fruit to find the best combinations. Actually I would give it to my mum, she always used the old methods of chopping and whisking by hand, she's older now with gout in her hands so it's harder for her to do everyday kitchen stuff so a blender would be perfect for her, so simple and easy to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Lesley Joe
I'm looking for a good blender to make organic baby food for my newborn!
ReplyDeletei would go in and make yogurt smoothies
ReplyDeleteMilkshakes!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this to make my 4 littlies yummy smoothies and milkshakes- and I would be super keen to learn what else I could make with it :)
ReplyDeleteFrozen strawberry daiquiris.
ReplyDeleteWe will have a new house to move in to on December 24th so we will probably need a stiff drink late on Christmas Eve.
A new blender in my new kitchen would wrap up things nicely.
Janis - janis@ilovebiscuits.com
I love having a smoothie to start my day, and have just started added spinach and kale to make green smoothie, however, my blender lacks the power and i would love a green smoothie which was actually smooth!! It also would help me to make delicious soups and margaritas would be amazing with the ice crushing option which would also make awesome snow cones for a hot summers day!!!! A blender is an essential tool in the kitchen and this blender has a really unique retro aesthetic which i love!! Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these amazing blenders!!
ReplyDeleteOMG I would make all kinds of things! Smoothies, milkshakes, juices, soups, cocktails the list is endless! Would love a pink one to match my gorgeous pink Kitchen Aid mixer ^_^

I would love to win this to make breakfast smoothies for my children, a bit of milk, yoghurt, a banana, some blueberries and a tablespoon of nutella is my favorite go to recipe for a fast and nutritious kids breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI would also use it to make fruit and yoghurt puree mixes to freeze and turn into unprocessed healthy ice blocks that make a perfect after school treat!

ReplyDeleteI would use this seriously awesome blender to whip up my family-famous lemon delicious pudding. It's the perfect way to finish off a meal, and is delicious hot or cold, so its perfect all year round. If you cook it in a bain-marie it gets an almost custardy texture which is seriously delicious, and otherwise it's self-saucing. It's the perfect pudding.
