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!

  6. Hi Lisa from Newark, Ohio. I have been following you for about a year and half now and your recipes are wonderful. I have always eaten healthy and when I found your website, I knew right away I had found a fantastic resource. I love your personality and your outlook on life. I almost exclusively only make recipes from your website now so I was so excited for you to come out with an actual cookbook. Cooks love to write down notes next to recipes so I am hoping you continue writing cookbooks with all the recipes you already have out. I wish you continued success!

    I came across your videos about 6 months ago and have been hooked ever since. I’m always excited to see the next video for new and interesting recipes.

    I pre-ordered your cookbook and couldn’t wait to get it. It didn’t disappoint. I absolutely love it. The recipes are simple, easy to make, healthy. I can’t wait for your next book.

    Congrats on your success and more to come in the future, I’m sure.

  34. Hi! I’m currently living in Russellville,AR. Living with MS for the past 20+ years It was a great day indeed when I found your site. We use so many of your recipes & love all the helpful hints you give that make such a difference in the success of the outcome of the dishes. The first thing I would try with a Vitamix would be your 1 minute creamy almond butter. That would beat the heck out of the 20+ minutes it currently takes me!

  38. Hi Lisa!  I’ve been making your recipes for the past few years.  My favorites are the very best lentil soup and your amazing hummus.  I am so excited to go through your recipe book (I’ve been enjoying browsing through it).  Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season!

  48. I am patiently waiting for my copy of Healthy Meal Prep to be delivered. Our Canadian weather has played havoc on deliveries.
    Thank you for your cooking style. I always find something delicious to make, especially cooking for one. I don’t always have a lot of ingredients on hand. And when I am cooking for guest I always find something familiar but it is always taken up a notch with the combination of ingredients you choose.
    Enjoy your book tour, I know people will be out to let you know you are a star!
