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!

  8. I would love to try the “power” of Vitamix … my blender just doesn’t do justice to some of your yummy recipes.

  9. Lisa,
    I live in Lakeville, MN and put your new cookbook on my Christmas list. Actually at the top of my Christmas list! My 17 year old daughter was diganosed with Celiac this past Spring and finding your Instragram account and now your emails and hopefully the cookbook soon too have been SO helpful.
    Thanks!
