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!

How To Enter the Giveaway
- Leave a comment at the bottom of this post telling me which city and state you live in (please include your correct email address in the comment form, to contact the winner).
- Subscribe to my email list here if you’re not already on it!
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).

The LA or SF book signing locations are about 4hrs north or south of me. That’s lucky for me! I’d love to see another signing in those locations if possible. So much happening in January, oddly. I love your channel and am dying to read and cook from your book if I can get my hands on a copy after Xmas.

I am thrilled to have found Downshiftology with its delicious and healthy recipes. Surprisingly, I had never poached an egg, nor had my mother, so I went online to get specific instructions. It led me to this site and I made an absolutely perfect poached egg and signed up for all the recipes. The ones I have tried have all be delicious and perfect. They also use ingredients that are usually in my cupboards, nothing strange and exotic that I will never use again. Hooray for Lisa and congratulations to all you new owners of a wonderful cookbook.
