I need a new jar for my Blendtec--will this jar work with a non-twister lid? Can you easily make smoothies in it too, or just thick purees?

This jar comes with 2 lids, Laura. The Twister lid is used for making things like nut butters or other thick mixtures that benefit from "stirring" as they blend. This lid isn't water-tight, however, so a second, water-tight lid is included for more liquid things like smoothies and cleaning. The jar is quite a bit smaller than the 4-Sided or Wildside jar, and the blade is smaller as well (16oz/500 ml for the Twister, as compared to 36 oz/1000 mil for the Wildside/4-Side jars). Still, if you are making smaller batches, I can't see any reason why the Twister wouldn't work for smoothies. If I had to pick only one jar and my budget allowed, I would choose the Wildside jar. The blade is bigger than the 4-Side blade, you COULD make nut butters in it (you'd just have to stop and scrap the sides), and since I go through a quart of green smoothie a day, the larger capacity works for me. That being said, the scraper-spatula that comes with the Twister jar is almost worth the price of the jar -- it's one of the best spatulas I've ever used!Hope that helps. As you can tell, I'm a huge fan of Blendtec blenders, and they DON'T pay me to say this, either!

No, the jar glass is made of very strong Co-Polyester plastic.

Can the blade handle blending ice, just as easily as the blade in the Wildside jar? Thank you!

Sorry, I have not tried to do ice. I use mine for making nut butter. It does a verry good job for that and I am pleased with my twister jar.

Does this come with a recipe book?

Yes, it does. Though not as extensive as the one that comes with the Blendtec blender itself, it does have recipes specific to this jar. In fact, we have become positively addicted to the recipe for Soft-Serve Banana Ice Cream around this house, so much so that we always keep a supply of frozen bananas for whenever we want to whip up this great dessert. (16) recipes in the book, color photos, rather nice. I'll post a photo of it on the product page.

I LOVE this blender jar! I use it all the time to make my smoothies. The ability to use plastic cups works amazing. I was skeptical it would be a gimmick and leak everywhwre but it doesn't at all. I haven't had a single issue using it with even the red plastic cups. Can't wait for the summer to use it to make drinks around the pool. It's expensive but I really recommend it!

Super convenient when you need a smoothie on the go. And I especially like that you can use a disposable cup as the container. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Works just as advertised! You can stick a solo disposable cup right inside it and it will blend your drink inside the cup with pretty much zero clean up (if you're careful) except the blade lid. It can blend frozen fruits, carrots, and tough veggies/fruits easily. The capacity without the solo cup is perfect. With the solo cup it's a pretty small veggie smoothie.

Le Blendtec go cup est un ajout parfais à mon Blentec. Plus efficace pour faire des sauces que le gros contenant

I followed the recommended “order of ingredients” and had a *perfectly* blended smoothie using the handy Solo clear cup method on my first try! ZERO MESS! Just a hot water rinse of the base/blade - done! I LOVE THIS LITTLE THING! I really hesitated because of the price, and agree that it’s expensive. I find solace in knowing that this doesn’t take up much space, is excellent quality, and it will save me time and money I’d have easily spent at a drive thru. No buyer’s remorse. I also found this to be the best price online since it was below MSRP, and because of Prime. It arrived on time and was packaged carefully. It also included a small set of Solo clear cups/lids/straws to get started. Will it blend? Heck yes!* (*follow the instructions in the video and you’ll be a pro!)
