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!

    When I want to bake or cook something it’s your website that I go to. I enjoy your recipes because many are quick and easy to understand. I don’t have a copy of your book right now but it’s on my Christmas list.

    Merry Christmas and a fabulous New Year

  14. Hi Lisa,

    I live in East Wareham, Mass. and prepare many of your recipes. An early Vitamix version purchase lead me to google smoothie recipes. I believe this is when I discovered you, read your story (which resonated with me) and began to follow Downshiftology. Your ‘preps’ began to slowly transform and elevate my nutritional habits.

    A stressful work environment caused mindless eating habits, choices, constant weight fluctuations, as well as brain fog! Oh, what a miserable and unrecognizable cycle! Personal health awakenings began to happen. I got severely sick, had a car accident upon returning to work, and then the pandemic hit. Attention to self-health and wellness had never felt more crucial. How many more ‘signs’ did I need? I chose to retire and began to recognize my whole ‘being’ needs rest especially as I entered my seventh decade. Healthy nutrition began to be my ‘fix’ and Downshiftology has been integral towards a healthy reboot! New food disciplines and choices are lifting my mind, body, and soul as my life engages upon a deeper enrichment. I love it and continue to pursue optimal health via creative food fixes thanks to you!

    I would love nothing more than to receive a signed copy of your very first book as well as a brand new Vitamix! These would be very grateful additions towards my healthful nutritional journey. Know that you continue to be an inspiration and a change agent for me, Lisa. Thank you and congratulations on your success!
    Blessings, Kathy
