Not sure about you, but we're definitely starting to feel anxious for summer here at Blendtec. We're already dreaming of those relaxing summer nights and much needed vacations. One of our favorite things about summer is eating ice cream. We really do love ice cream; from chocolate, to cookie dough, to rainbow sherbet, the possibilities for ice cream flavors are endless.
