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!

Giveaway Terms

Congrats to winner Kim G. from Cambridge, MD!!
I just received your cookbook and cannot wait to read it and try recipes. I have been dieting and have lost 100 pounds. Your recipes have helped me but especially the meal prep ideas because if I have good food prepped before hand I can keep to my diet. Thank you for all the hard work you do on producing new recipes and doing videos which are very helpful. I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I live in Brampton, Ontario Canada. Thank you for your wonderful recipes and ideas for healthy eating.
I would love to win the Vitamix or your cookbook.

We recently made bacon in the oven and we’re amazed….why have I never done this? 🤷♀️. Would love to add a Vitamix and share with them the goodness of healthy eating 🥑🍊🥦🥬🥘🥞🥓

I love your book! First recipe I made was the honey-ginger sheet pan salmon. Came out perfectly delicious. Preordered my book on Amazon then saw a special buy at Target online and got three more to gift! Wish you were coming to the Barnes&Noble in McAllen Texas so I could get my books signed!
Love your NEW Healthy Prep Cookbook, Lisa! Well done!
Your idea of prepping individual food items to combine into delicious meals each week works very well for me vs preparing large batches and eating the same meal over and over.

Hi, I am Melanie from Saint Louis Mo. I am also the person who can’t wait to receive a new email from you with new recipes to try. This year as a family we decided not to have the traditional Christmas dinner, we are having a Family Christmas Brunch. My contribution will be the Ultimate Breakfast Casserole. I asked for your cookbook for Christmas, and I really hope I get it. Please don’t ever stop sharing your recipes with the world.

I have a habit of checking all the recipes naturally. Sometimes I make one or two dishes, but mostly I don’t even try it.
When I was just browsing through it as usual, I was immediately found interested the way you demonstrate the recipe with detailed instructions. I right away subscribed to follow your recipes.
Every recipe is excellent and you are doing it with health conscious in your mind.
I was really attracted and ordered right away one book though all of them are available on line, I wanted to own the book.
God bless you and continue to do this service with healthy eating.
Thanks Lisa.
I live in Newark California.
I enjoy your clean cooking very much.
Thanks for sharing great ideas Lisa!
Have a merry Christmas!!!
I keep forgetting to ask you which chicken stock or broth you use when you need it quick
