    Can I make ice cream consistancy with fruits in my regular Blendtec blender or do I have to use a twister jar. Does the Twister Jar fit all blenders, I’ve had mind for about 8 yrs now.

    Hi Pat,
    Under each recipe is a link that will take you to the nutritional information for each recipe.


  • Pat

    Should list nutrient value including fat. Carbs.

    ‘Turn Twister lid counter-clockwise during blending’
    I don’t understand why you should be messing up with the lid while blending. What will it accomplish?


  • Rajwant

    I have a blender, but I don’t have the twister jar. Where can I get it from?
