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!

  15. Hi Lisa, Have been following you for a while and LOVE LOVE LOVE your recipes. Many of them have become a regular staple (e.g. falafel). This Thanksgiving we had 3 dishes from your website (carrots, Waldorf salad, and shaved brussels sprouts salad), all were a hit! Your ultimate breakfast casserole has become our Xmas tradition (it’s baking in the oven while kids are opening presents), and we all sit down to this delicious breakfast together afterwards. Thank you for all your hard work and quality content, it really shows how much you care about your viewers! Wishing you happy holidays, much cheer and health! Please continue to inspire us in our kitchens. With warm wishes, Elena

I’m entering your Christmas Giveaway, and hope I win! (I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.) Thank you for your labor of love and your expertise in guiding us to better health!
