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!

    Lisa I hope you have a wonderful Christmas 🎅 and a happy safe New Year 🎉
    Looking forward to reading and trying new recipes in 2023 💕

  2. Hello, Lisa!  I’m from Willow Springs, Missouri, in the beautiful Ozarks.  Congratulations on your cookbook launch, and thank you for hosting this giveaway!

  3. Ever since I found your Facebook page and website, my love for cooking healthy and nutritious meals has changed my life!  Once I was a timid cook, making only the same basic meals over and over. You have opened up a whole new world to me and a healthy one at that. 
    I preordered  your cookbook way back in May and it has arrived. I would love to be the lucky recipient of the giveaway and already have a very good friend in mind for the cookbook.
    Love from Seattle 🎄🎄🎄

  5. I love this cookbook!! So easy to understand and a picture for each recipe. It’s a winner!!! 
    Much love from Chicago, Illinois. 

  6. Hi Lisa,
    Love love the cookbook!! Great job. I ordered it on May 15, and finally received it a couple of weeks ago. I live in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada. My family loved every recipe I’ve cooked them from your Downshiftology site, and they’re very fussy eaters.
    Thank you for all your hard work. 

  7. Happy Holidays from Cincinnati Ohio!  
    Been following you for a few years and I absolutely loved every recipe that I’ve tried from your page! Love your approach to food and your thoughtfulness when it comes to educating people about food and cooking! 

  8. Hi Lisa:
    I live in Dunsford, Ontario Canada.
    I have been watching and subscribing to your channel for about 18months now.
    I just love how healthy and flexible your recipes are. Love all your tips about food prepping and storage. I had a stroke 2 years ago and your channel is a huge comfort to me. I love how you demonstrate the whole process. I preordered your cookbook and am so excited. I received it last week. My Christmas present to myself.
    I also did a whole 30 last year and was very pleased that you explain how to make your recipes whole 30 friendly.
    Look forward to another year of following you. I hope you plan a book signing in Canada soon.
    All the Best in 2023!

  15. Loving the cookbook.   I have been so excited for your cookbook release and it doesn’t disappoint.  The individual meal prep ingredients section is awesome.  The breakdown is great and very helpful.  Love that you have dedicated sections for fish and veggie mains.
