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.

Changing my diet to raw food has given me a new outlook on my life and my health. It’s been the most amazing thing and your recipes are so much a part of that. Thank you

I like formulas. When you can prove something works to me via formulas & science rather than just theories I like that. I know that eating raw foods is healthy and has factual basis (alkaline vs acidic reaction in body). I would like to start taking more advantage of the nutritional content boost of my own organic produce using raw foods. In addition we have a full Kitchen Aid Kitchen, all appliances, but the only thing we don’t have is a blender!

Quality of life! Many of my beloved family members suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity (all due to an unhealthy diet and refusal to exercise). I would rather not follow in their food steps.
