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!

How To Enter the Giveaway

Giveaway Terms

  • This giveaway is open to those 18 years and older from the US and Canada (I wish I could make it global, but unfortunately, Vitamix can only ship to the US and Canada).

  12. Downshiftology has made me more aware of a smarter and healthier food prep, something I never thought I could accomplish. It has changed the way I prepare and eat food. As a result, I’ve had excellent ratings from my doctor and I feel and look better physically and emotionally. Thank you, Lisa Bryan, for your guidance and inspiration.
