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

  • This giveaway is open to those 18 years and older from the US and Canada (I wish I could make it global, but unfortunately, Vitamix can only ship to the US and Canada).

  33. Hi Lisa,
    I have been following your Youtube channel for a couple of years now, but moreso in the last 10 months. You have helped me with some liver issues, and I’m doing very well now. It’s been a journey. I have made so many of your receipes, it’s hard to pick just one. I love the lemon/spinach/chicken, so does my husband. I’ve learned how to make almond butter thanks to you. I’m still working on the mayo recipe, haven’t got the technique down yet. The squash soup….seconds please! Chicken marinades, thank you! Easy baked salmon….I can go on. I see you just posted honey citrus chicken, I’ll be trying that soon. Thank you from Notre Dame, New Brunswick in Canada. I also follow you on facebook and youtube.
    Merry Christmas!
