It’s that time of year for our annual Christmas giveaway! But this year I’m not only giving away a Vitamix, but also a signed copy of my Healthy Meal Prep cookbook!

It’s always so much fun for me to give these blenders away and brighten someone’s day. And today, one reader will have a chance to win my most prized kitchen tool — the Vitamix A3500 (read more about it here)!

Plus, you’ll be able to use this Vitamix for several of my favorite recipes in my meal prep cookbook! That includes recipes like my creamy white gazpacho, banana berry nice cream, all the hummus(s) you can imagine, and yes, even a dessert – my key lime tartelettes!

  38. Hi Lisa!
    Thrilled to be part of this second special giveaway! 
    I live in Grovetown, Georgia but better known for Augusta, Georgia! Home of Augusta National, Masters Golf Tournament. I’m on a healing journey and it first started with my eating lifestyle. It’s more strict than most but I truly appreciate your heart for healthy! With your cookbook and the Vitamix I’d have more ways to create meals.   
    Blessings!
