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!

I would love a signed copy of your cookbook, as well as a Vitamix. Love your recipes, and I have passed them onto my daughters and friends. Thanks for this opportunity.
We are in Cincinnati Ohio and have been eating a Anti Inflammatory diet for 2 years now and your recipes have been so helpful and soo yummy! 😋
I stumbled onto your website just by accident looking for Christmas ideas and was delighted with the turkey meatballs as I never thought of that as a meal…what a great idea. I understand that I can not participate in the giveaway, but thought you might like the feedback anyway.
The meals all look really healthy and interesting! Well done.

Hello Lisa, sending 2 thumb’s up from Guam. I do have a FPO address and just received your cookbook. I sure would have came to one of your Book Signing event’s if I would able to be on the mainland.
You are inspiring in all your videos and your recipes are just extraordinary and easy to follow. I do my almond milk according to your recipe and it is so creamy and delicious.
Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to you.
