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.

I am just gliding into the raw food world and it WOULD BE SOOOO HELPFUL to HAVE THE PROPER EQUIPMENT!!! Thank you for the opportunity.

Because I prefer to eat food that is living to keep me living, than eat things that are dead or harmful, and it’s hard to have preservatives when it’s raw 🙂

Eating raw helps me improve my health one day at a time. I really love smoothies, too, but my blender is on it’s way out! Winning this blender would be a blessing.

I became interested in raw foods when I started to plan pregnancy. Staying high raw during pregnancy was challenging but my son and I are both so healthy now! He is a beautiful boy and was born 8 lbs 4 oz. I stay raw so that we stay healthy. A nice blender would make our lives amazing! Love, light, blessings, Lindsey and Maitreya
