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!

  5. I preordered your cookbook the day it was available. I received it on my birthday. 12/06. Yes!!! I made my first recipe from your cookbook the next day – stuffed mushrooms. I don’t cook. Can’t/won’t say that anymore. The side was a big hit. Even I liked it and I’m a solid meat eater trying to pivot to healthy non-meat options.

    Thank you Lisa. Looking forward to finding out if your diet plan can truly reduce inflammation. To a brighter, less pain 2023!!!

    Cheers 🥂 from an East Coaster. We’d love to see you too. 😉

  26. Your recipes are great. I love making them. They are easily adaptable for a family of seven and are delicious. 
    I live in Switzerland, and even if it is outside the US and Canada I just wanted to let you know. Preparing tasty and healthy meals in advance has taken a lot of stress out of the kitchen and given me more freedom to accomplish other projects. Thank you!
