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’m interested in raw foods for so many reasons! I was originally drawn to it because of the health aspects, but have come to enjoy the connection I feel when I’m putting such alive, vibrant food in my body.

I feel better when I am eating raw. It seems like it is the way that God intended us to eat, and the fact that people eating raw don’t seem to have the same illnesses that the standard American diet (SAD) typically do, well it seems better. My husband comes from a family with very high cholesterol. They are not overweight, and have always been runners, yet his grandfather died of a heart attack at 29 (insane) and his father had a heart attack at 45. My husband just turned 30 this year. When we are eating vegan and mostly raw, his cholesterol is so much lower. So I wonder if the genes we have always blamed are actually the cause, or if it is because his family has never been vegan, and certainly not raw. Anyways, great giveaway, thanks for the chance!

I am all about MINDFUL LIVING! This includes mindful eating, in which juicing, blending and a vegan lifestyle is a HUGE part of. A good blender is seriously lacking from my kitchen and I have to rely on a handheld 🙁 Just NOT the same! I would LOVE this new wicked blender! Thanks for this incredible offer xx
