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!

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).

  1. Hello Lisa! I live in Kalamazoo Michigan. I would LOVE to win this Vitamix and your cookbook!
    I have been wanting to purchase a Vitamix for me and my family. It would be awesome to own one to be able to make so many healthy foods! I have been watching your videos and I love all your recipes!
    I was hoping to get your cookbook for Christmas! I have hinted to my husband. :)
    We both love your recipes and you are an inspiration! We are definitely down-shifters and love the whole idea of downshifting from this crazy life that we live in. It is so important to slow down and enjoy life and to do that in a healthy way with healthy food, whole foods and exercise.
    Thanks for ALL that you do for us to bring us such amazing recipes!
    PS- I saw you on GMA a few weeks ago! You did a great job! You are a natural on camera! I am sure that you already know this. :)
    Wishing you and your family a joyous and Merry Christmas!

  7. Hey Lisa, thank you so much for all you do! You make cooking healthy a breeze. I started ‘food prepping’ because of you and I’m so grateful; I’ve learned a lot and have saved money from not having to buy lunch – so a huge THANK YOU!!! Keep up the great work – your recipes are AMAZING.

  8. Lisa I am sooooo grateful for the positive difference you have made in my life. In January 2022 I embarked on a wellness journey and found you! You and your wonderful healthy recipes and meal prep helped me make a major lifestyle change that has not only benefited me but also my family and friends. You are touching the lives of many in a very positive way. Thank you!
