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 was touched by your journey testimony! It helped me realize that the discomfort, and sometimes pain I was feeling, diagnosed as IBS, may be able to be averted by some deliciously simple changes in the ingredients I was using!! AND SURE ENOUGH, your a super teacher & incredibly talented! Of course I’d love to win this, but if nothing else, I do hope you feel encouraged that you have positively effected another person’s journey.
    Blessings 😊
