So, I don’t have a Blendtec blender, I have a Vitamix, but I do have a Blendtec grain mill, which I LOVE, so I feel fine advertizing for them here on my blog. Not to mention the rave reports my brother-in-law has given of what an impressive business model they have, combined with the excellent experience I’ve had with their customer service department. In fact hearing about their company has made me more determined to support such companies- companies that still put their customers and employees first. 
I’m a big fan of smoothies. I became an even bigger fan when Scotland started eating solids, because I realized that smoothies were one of the best ways to feed him greens. (Spinach is surprisingly difficult to eat, if you think about it.) Greens are a great source of Omega 3’s. (Omega 3’s are most abundant in spring produce, while Omega 6’s are more abundant in fall produce- think grains.) Most of us have an inbalanace of Omega 3’s and 6’s because are diets are heavy on grains and light on greens. This causes havoc on our health. Greens are cheap and high in nutrition, but I’m not the best at always including a salad with our meals. So. . . I add them to our smoothies. By adding several huge handfulls of spinach alongside bananas, apples, grapes, and berries (pineapple is extra delicious) I can be sure that we are starting the day out right. I’ll often add a carrot as well- another often hard to chew veggie for little ones. Throw in some flax, and you’ll up your omega 3’s even more! 
What’s your favorite smoothie? Do you only make sweet or have you experimented with savory? Do you ever add spices to yours? Anybody every made almond milk in their blender?
