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!

  17. Hey Lisa, I’ve been enjoying your blog and videos for several years now and had pre-ordered your book which arrived several weeks ago. I’m loving it! I’m in Cambridge, MD. Happy holidays to everyone!!

  18. Hey Lisa! Moving across the country to NY left me needing a taste of home- I came across your YouTube channel and immediately felt at home. I grew up a little inland from Newport and would always love spending my days off hiking the trails I’ve scene you explore in you videos. Thank you for satisfying my carvings and making sure I’m always packing the nutrition. Your meal prep has really revolutionized our new home and elevated our wellness. Wishing you all the best this holiday season and in 2023! Cheers!

I found you when googling anti inflammatory recipes because my pain level has increased greatly this winter and I would love to make smoothies and bowls but I don’t yet have a blender! Thank you for this fun opportunity for a chance to win a Vitamix! dream cone true! And thank you for sharing all your knowledge on how to prepare food that nourishes instead of harming our bodies! I’m just learning all about that and your book signed by you would be the icing on the cake! (gluten free of course!!) Merry Christmas!
