where can I get a twister jar? I’ve had my BlendTec for years
I tried this without the toasted almonds on the outside. It was really good, my first tasting of a vegan cheese. I did not measure the lemon juice and I think I put too much in. Next time, I will make sure to measure it. Also I didn’t use the parsley, and didn’t have the onion powder. So I have to say, it worked out quite well even with numerous omissions.
A very small over priced Blendtec jar. I just used my Ninja with bilevel blades. I like my Blendtec, but $118. is too expensive for my budget.
You can order a Twister jar on our website here: http://www.blendtec.com/jar… Have a happy day!
