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 have been about 70% raw for the last 8 months. I would love to get my son who has Autism on board with this lifestyle. Since he has sensory issues and does not always like to chew this blender would be perfect to introduce him to the raw way of living. Good Luck Everybody!

I eat raw food because the God of all creation said to do so and I always obey my Father:
“”…Cleanse your body, for if your body is not in health, how can your mind be?… For they are one in this life. Eat mostly fruits and grains and plants of the earth. Eat not that which is unclean; eat no pork, nor anything which is not made by God. Increase your water intake seven-fold, and drink only purified water or that which has been distilled. Eat meat in moderation, for meat is good, created for man by God, yet man has contaminated it. Also take and eat of the seed of the flower flax, two large spoonfuls per day. Also put aside money for supplements, for your body is in dire need of many vitamins and minerals…””

Raw food is the ultimate because it is live food nourishing a live body.

An interest in raw food you ask… why? Because vitality and health are of optimum importance to anyone who cherishes this blessed earth and the temples that inhabit it! It is my belief that the gifts of our blue planet be sustainably harvested and treasured. Eating a balanced raw diet encompasses this ethos. A super powered blender compliments this mission in that one has the tools to adequately invest in the future of self, community and planet. Love <3

I became interested in raw food through a friend who inspires me. Seeing how well she was doing I decided to give it a try and went on a 30 day raw challenge using the 80/10/10 method. I felt incredible and was soon hooked on it! I am very happy and grateful to have discovered this lifestyle!
P.S. My own blender broke a couple of weeks ago (it was a cheap and not a very powerful one). I could really use a new one for my morning smoothies! 🙂

Im all about providing the healthiest life style possible for my family and LOVE enjoying that life style with my toddlers and my growing baby in the womb, We make green smoothies and all kinds of smoothies everyday get as much from our garden and from going on nature walks and harvesting and have the entire line of Sunwarrior Products to go with our smoothies! WE LOVE RAW!! I had gall bladder surgery and have to start my day with fresh and eat a lot of raw or I just feel miserable for the rest of the day, and I love to make raw cacao treats and such for my kids so they can still enjoy a childs sweet tooth without giving up all the vitamins, minerals and nutrition, Im a passionate mother who is against GMO’s! We would be in heaven to get a house warming gift like this into our kitchen! Raw food = equals LIFE!
