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.

My name is Stephanie, I am 41 years old and have been a type one diabetic since I was 12. I have always been very interested in nutrition and was a veg/vegan for 15 years until I got pregnant with my son (now 7) and the only thing I craved when pregnant was steak. As weird as it was I went and bought organic steak but steak none the less and went off my path during pregnancy only. Lately I have been feeling likey digestion was mess. A while ago, I watched Simply Raw. I don’t know if you’ve seen it but it’s about reversing diabetes through eating a raw food diet. I bought a dehydrator, a spiralizer, and a sprouter. I’ve been using a magic bullet or a food processor but a VitaMix has been the only thing on my list for a while. I keep telling my husband but, alas, No VitaMix! If this KitchenAid is truly equivalent it could be a literal life saver. Since I’ve been eating raw, I am taking significantly less insulin, my digestion is great, and I feel great. Thanks for considering me. I apologize for the novel. 🙂
Best,
Stephanie

I have been an Nutrition Consultant for a few years now and raw is the logical next step…when I found your website, I was totally convinced! I am now taking a Raw Chef certification course so that I can help others even more than before. Thankyou for your Rawmazing website! Can’t wait to start trying some of your recipes!

I’m obese and desperately need to lose weight. Being that I live on a very low income it would be a great boon to me to win this blender and help me start a raw food diet.

You are what you eat! That’s what we’ve always been taught and I believe it! I feel much better when I have my green drinks and other raw concoctions. I especially love the raw desserts! My dogs are also on a raw food diet and they have a huge amount of energy; especially, my 10 year old frenchie.
