The Blender Bottle & the 101 Quick & Easy Recipes

I recently received the Blender Bottle and a copy of the 101 Quick & Easy Blender Bottle Recipes cookbook to review here on GivingNSharing and have had some very tasty dinners to enjoy. The Blender Bottle is the #1 best-selling portable mixer - great for making up salad dressings, shakes, BBQ sauce, omelets, pancake mixes and more!

Usually when you think of a blender bottle you think of protein shakes or even fruit shakes for the kids. The Blender Bottle is perfect for that! Just grab your bottle when you leave for the office or to run out on errands. Put your mixings in a baggie in your purse or briefcase or even in the bottle itself and you can have a shake where ever you are or when ever you need a pick-me-up. 

I like to add a cup of yogurt and fruit juice to mine - you can also use the above image (from the Blender Bottle's website) for other ideas of things to add in. Have you tried the ground oatmeal? That would be a great way to add some fiber to your shake!

Here's how the  Blender Bottle  works: 
Take the bottle, throw in the patented BlenderBall wire whisk and then add your ingredients. The Blenderball mixes it all up - no gritty powdery balls to chase with a fork - it whips the ingredients into a smooth delicious drink every time. And yes! it even gets the powder that usually gets stuck at the bottom & won't mix in no matter what you do!

I also received a copy of their cookbook: 101 Quick and Easy BlenderBottle Recipes. There are recipes for Tangy Meatball Bites, Macadamia Nut French Toast, Asian Salmon, Michael's Spinach Quiche, Buttermilk Ranch Dressing, and so much more! I made up the pancake mix and also the BBQ Beef Sauce (loved the sauce!). I used the BBQ Beef Sauce on chicken and it was a BIG hit!

Barbecue Beef

Tasty, tangy, with just the right amount of smokey flavor. Makes great BBQ sandwiches as well! Note: (I didn't use the smoke flavoring)

Ingredients
1 ½ c ketchup
¼ c packed brown sugar
¼ c red wine vinegar
2 T prepared Dijon-style mustard
3 T Worcestershire sauce
1 t liquid smoke flavoring
½ t salt
¼ t ground black pepper
¼ t garlic powder
1 (2.5-4 lb) boneless chuck roast

Instructions
In the order listed, place ingredients (except roast) into BlenderBottle and mix until smooth. Place roast in a slow cooker and pour barbeque sauce over it. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Remove roast from slow cooker, shred with a fork (remove any fat), and return to slow cooker. Stir meat to evenly coat with sauce. Continue cooking approximately 1 hour. Serve over rice, potatoes, or in sandwich buns.
