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. 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.

Juicing has helped me fight off 3 kinds of cancer during 1990-1993, when doctors gave up. Now I would like to introduce raw foods into my life and a good bender would come in handy. Since juicing is so good for you, I know raw foods have to be also. This will be a new experience for me and one I am looking forward too, since I have the time now that I am retired.

What could be better? less time cooking to make food that is better for both you and the environment, AND tastier and more textured. I am loving your site. Thank you.

I am just learning about RAW food, checked out 20 books from the library and can’t get enough of it. I love the way it is making me feel.

I have to avoid processed foods and many cooked foods due to problems with fermentation processes, such as pickles. I was told to also avoid vinegars by my doctor. When I stick to raw foods I do not have a problem.

I am interested in the raw food lifestyle from the point of nutrition, as well as for its potential in weight-control. I had a Vita-Mix, but, once it went out of warranty, it died (I know, VitaMixes are supposed to last forever, but this is my luck) I’ve been making do with regular blenders and my food processor, but a power-blender would be such a help. I’m on a limited income, so buying a new blender is not an option right now.

As much as my taste buds love cooked vegan food; especially pasta, baked potatoes, and rice- My body completely disagrees! When I go completely raw or 90% raw I have more energy, I loose the extra pounds I’ve been carrying without trying, I have so much energy that most think I drank two pots of coffee; and my skin glows!! I love your site- it inspires me to go raw as much as I can and live well!!
