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!

I will make it for 12 people a big family gathering there are vegan and gluten free dieters. I will post the photos later on. And of course, I can win your fantastic giveaways.

  12. So excited about the new cookbook.  My husband is holding it hostage, giving it to me as a Christmas present.  I’m located in Fisherville, KY, just outside Louisville.

  13. Congratulations on your new cookbook. It looks wonderful and I am hoping to get my hands on it soon.  I live in Hollywood Florida. 

  14. Hello Lisa! I live in Mansfield, Ohio. I would absolutely love a vitamix as I have tried to make some of your recipes in a cheap blender and it never has enough power to come out right. I already purchased your new book but I would love a signed copy! Your recipes are always delicious and 100% safe for me as I am gluten I tolerant. Thank you for all that you do!

  15. Merry Christmas from Cape Cod, MA! Just found your site this week and I am in love! Making the Shepard’s Pie tonight.

  16. Living in rural northern illinois, it isn’t always easy to find ingredients so I’m always looking for different ways of preparing healthy meals! Thanks for your help doing that! Merry Christmas!
