KitchenAid 5-Speed Blender Give Away!
This contest has ended.

I couldn’t help myself. I saw a video on how the KitchenAid blender beat both the Vitamix and the Blendtec blenders in a test. Considering it is about 1/4 to 1/3rd the price, I just had to get one and put it through it’s paces. So for the next few days, I will be blending and reporting. And on Friday…because I want you all to know how much I appreciate you, I will be giving it away! (Make sure you read the rules below or your entry won’t count.)

To enter, simply leave a comment in the comment section telling me why you are interested in raw food. It can be as simple as one word, or as long as you like. I will pick a winner on Friday with a random number generator and announce who won on Friday. Entries will close at noon on Friday.

So far, I am pretty darn impressed. This is what I am eating for lunch. Right this minute. Slurp!

No fancy food photography today. I was hungry. And too excited to get this posted. Â Hurry up and enter before I decide to keep this little beauty! If you can’t wait until Friday, you can find one here: KitchenAid 5-Speed Blender
Ginger Peach Strawberry Smoothy
serves 2
- 1 cup frozen peaches
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 orange, peeled
- 1 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1-inch piece of ginger
1. Place all ingredients in blender.
2. Blend away.
How did the blender do with this recipe? Great. The only thing I had to do that I wouldn’t have had to do with the Vitamix (because it has a plunger) is stop and push it down once or twice. It blended smoothly….even the entire orange.

I am currently living with my sister in Texas, and she and her husband need some SERIOUS help with their diet. We could definitely use this blender! 😉

Having lived 7 years with severe stomach pains, several undiagnosable symptoms, and a serious amount of dietary restrictions, I have found that eating raw is such a good way to get the most amount of nutrients into my diet. It makes me feel good, and on the way to healthy again! Now if only I could make a smoothie without everything being chunky… 😉

At age 19 I was diagnosed with Celiacs disease and in the following two years developed allergies to dairy, corn, and soy. Although I was adhering strictly to my new lifestyle I still didn’t feel well. After countless hours of research and consulting a dietitian I tried the raw food lifestyle. Boy can I say that ever since going raw I have had 0 GI problems and am finally able to live life to the fullest. Here’s to raw veganism, which has been a real life changer for me!

Raw diet reminds me of my sister, she taught me about it, I miss her so very much!

I absolutely LOVE raw food, not only is it good for you and nutritious, but it makes me happy, keeps me clean, makes my skin and my hair fantastic. The benefits are plenty. And plus I LOVE SMOOTHIES AND SOUPS and kinds of stuff and I find that its time for me to get a new one to ease my mornings 😛

I am a huge fan of your website! You have helped my family live a healthier life! I have a vitamix blender already, but I have a dear friend who can’t really afford a good blender and would like to win it for her. She gives so much love to everyone around her and is a blessing to many friends! She is very inspired by my raw creations but can’t make them herself because she doesn’t have the right tool! I would be so thankful if she wins! If not thank you for giving this gift away to someone deserving of it! My friends name is Jade. Thank you!
