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!

  1. Dear Lisa, our family loves your channel. We have tried several of your recipes and they are delish! 
    We live in Orlando Fl. 
    Congrats on your book release!! 

  2. Hi Lisa
    My husband discovered you on You tube and began preparing meals for us from your videos. I started your watching videos and became hooked. I make the banana bread all the time for my kids. As a surprise, He pre-ordered your cookbook for me and I love it. I am not the best cook, but I am encouraged to cook more often because the recipes are relatively easy to make.
    Look forward to see what you have in store for 2023.
    Regards,
    Norma- Watsonville, Ca

  3. From first finding you on YouTube making a poached egg, I have followed along as you developed all your amazing recipes. Working my way through your wonderful new cookbook would be so easy with a Vitamix! It has been on my wishlist forever!! I live in Muskego, Wisconsin. Happy Holidays! Thanks, Lynn Nackers

  4. Lisa, I really like your recipes. Your “Best Baked Chicken Breasts” is so easy, moist, and tasty. I like your Overnight Oats ideas and all the information about advance meal prep but I need to get better in that area. 

  5. Loving your new book, it has simplified my weekly shopping and made food prep a dream. Thanks so much from Sudbury Ontario. 

  6. I pre ordered and then when the book finally came out, I was so I excited, I ordered again, so I gave a copy to my best friend. She is now a Downshifter and loving the recipes and the cookbook. The recipes are easy, the photos are amazing! This cookbook is so much fun to parous with a cup of tea and plan your next meal or week with!

    My wife loves your website and uses at least two of your recipes in her weekly meal prep of three meals.  You have never failed our dinner. The kids even enjoy it!   You’re YouTube channel has also helped her be more creative and chose healthier options for us.  The mixer would be a great addition to her limited tools in the kitchen.  

  17. Thank you Lisa for all your knowledge and passion which shows in all your recipes. Looking forward to your book.
