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!

  1. Hi Lisa. Barb from Canada. I love your recipes. Especially your marinated chicken. I have recommended your website to my daughter and friends. Looking forward to receiving your new cookbook for xmas. Happy Holidays!

  2. Love the cookbook and since I already have it (preordered as soon as possible) if I won, I’d pass on the extra one to my mom who’s also a fan. (Have you seen Lisa’s new video has been said often on our phone calls.)

    Merry Christmas from Shickshinny, PA

  3. Found you today on you tube, impressed by your video, checked out your website and even more impressed with your recipes, the ingredients, easy to follow.
    I am from Alberta, Canada

  4. Received my copy of your cookbook. Absolutely LOVE it!!! The photos are so large and in such vibrant color. Really makes thumbing through for menu planning so easy.

  5. Really enjoy all your videos!  I have successfully tried several of your recipes and really appreciate the healthy ingredients and cooking tool suggestions too !

  6. Hi Lisa! I am really enjoying your cookbook, thank you so much for making gluten free easy and tasty. I live in Victoria, British Columbia. 

  7. Entering your vitamix and cookbook giveaway! I live in Gillette, Wyoming. My mom got your cookbook so I was able to page through it and wow it’s amazing! I need one for myself now! My boyfriend and I travel in van during the summers and we have to be very choosy over what to bring because of our limited space, but I already know your cookbook will be coming with us because it’s that good! Also my mom has wanted a vitamix for years and years now, so if I won I would give it to her! Thanks for this beautiful opportunity and everything you do! 

  8. I had COVID19 and just didn’t feel like cooking. My husband made your Best Ever Chili. He was impressed how easy it was to follow the recipe and it was the Best Ever Chili! I have tossed all my other chili recipes and now only use Lisa’s recipe.

  9. I love your YouTube videos. I started watching and can’t stop. 
    Would love a vitamix!!  I’ve been eyeing them forever.

  10. I live in South Deerfield, MA. We love your recipes and videos! Though, I’m a Vitamix and he’s a blender-that-shall-not-be-named. Lol!

  11. Hi Lisa, I have been following you for two years right after my retirement.  Your recipe have helped me cooking with healthier food choices and played a big part of my successful weight loss.  Thank you and wish you a wonderful holiday.

  12. I have made many of your recipes. Favorites are baked broccoli and beet hummus. I have learned a lot watching you on utube!

  13. Congratulations Lisa on producing your cookbook. I have watched your channel for quite some time and admire the thoughtfulness you put into your segments. I would love to win the vitamix and your cookbook. Keep up your uplifting and nourishing posts. 

  14. Love the new healthy prep cookbook. I am single and when I come home from work I don’t feel much like cooking. Prepping on The weekend makes eating through the week so much healthier and I feel better and better as each week passes. No more guilt about stuffing junk into my mouth after work because I’m hungry and tired. So much better to have something healthy prepped in the fridge and waiting💕 i’ve been down loading the seasonal meal prep PDFs from the website but the cookbook is like a PDF on steroids! So much good stuff in there it will keep me busy for quite a while. Thank you Lisa for sharing your cooking brilliance with me. 

  15. Hi Lisa I am so excited to get my hands on your new cookbook. I have a bunch of loose papers print outs of your recipes and am so happy to hear that you have a cookbook ❤️ I’ve been following your videos ever since I lived on my own (no more parents cooking for me, haha) and I’ve gained confidence in my cooking skills through you. Your Waldorf salad, stuffed mushrooms, egg salad, all the chicken recipes, chicken salad (just realizing I really like salads 😋), and deviled eggs are my favorite. I am from the OC, California. 

    Best,
    Sarah
