Wow! This is a great give away, the Vita Mix Blender, I WOULD LOVE TO WIN A VITA MIX BLENDER. I’ve been looking to purchase one but I can’t seem to fit it in my budget at the moment. We have 2 kids in college and one in high school and they all love healthy organic food. I have a food processor and juicer. My juicer is not good because we don’t get all the nutrients that the Vita Mix will give us. The juicer is messier and does not give you the beneficial fiber and most of the nutrients we need. My families favorite recipes are hummus, salsa and smoothies. The problems is that we can’t make good healthy smoothies at home:( A Vita Mix Blender would bring Great Healthy Cooking to my family and friends. We need to educate people with healthy cooking and this is a great start;)

Hummus
4-5 C. Organic Garbanzo
3 Med. size Garlic Cloves
1/2 C. Lemon Juice
1/3 C. Tahini
1/2 C. Broth
1/2 C. Olive Oil
Salt
Instructions
Blend garlic, lemon juice, tahini and 1/2 of olive oil until its smooth and creamy. Then add garbanzos, reaming olive oil, salt and broth.

Thank you for giving us this great opportunity!

My favorite is a spin on a Spice Bunny shake. It has tons of green vegetables, a frozen banana, a cup of almond milk, cinnamon, a good amount of carrots and ginger.

This is a raw soup recipe I obtained from Timothy Brantley’s website (Brantleycure.com). It truly is absolutely delicious! It is easy to make; a nutrient rich delight.

Winter Curried Cauliflower Soup
Ingredients
• 1 avocado with peel and pit removed
• 2 organic scallions, chopped fine
• 1 1⁄2 c purified water
• 1 c organic lemon juice
• 4 TBSP tahini ( I have substituted homemade Vitamix raw peanut butter when I was out of tahini and it worked great)
• 2 TBSP curry powder
• 1⁄2 tsp both garlic powder and tumeric powder
• 2 TBSP nama shoyu (unpasturized soy sauce)
• 2 TBSP miso
• 1 medium cauliflower, finely chopped or grated
Instructions
In a bowl, place the chopped or grated cauliflower. Combine all the other ingredients in the blender or food processor and blend until it is a rich puree. Pour the puree over the cauliflower, stir well, and serve in bowls. You can round out this simple meal with a large vegetable salad.
NOTE: I have also blended all of the ingredients including the cauliflower until steam comes out of the top vents for a rich, creamy cold winter night soup.

I’ve owned a vita-mix in the past. Gave it to my 88 year old mom who needed help with getting her veggies and fruits in each day. I now would love to have another one. With my first Vita-mix, I lost approximately 50 pounds doing the shakes and smoothies. In 2006, I had a total knee replacement and have had three consecutive revisions on the same knee in 2007, 2009 and the last in February 2009. During this time (not being as active as I usually am), I’ve gained back the 50 pounds and I can really feel it on my knee. I’m also an avid horseback rider and my doctor released me to ride again, however, two weeks ago, I decided to ride a different horse, fell off and hurt my knee. I’m trying desperately to strengthen this knee before going back to the doctor to avoid surgery and just recently purchased a recumbent bike and a Total Gym XLS. It would be great to have the Vita-Mix in addition so I can lose the additional 50 pounds I have gained. Now my two favorite recipes are “PINA COLADA SHAKE” with vanilla protein and the “SUNSET SHAKE” which I had in the mornings for breakfast. It consisted of vanilla protein, 1/2 cup pineapple coconut juice, 2 tbs orange juice concentrate, 1/2 cup cranberry juice and ice.

I have been seriously been toying with the idea of moving more towards a Raw lifestyle. I have gotten the family juicing with great success. It is satisfying seeing the five y/o not only drinking veggies I couldn’t pay her to eat, but watching her put them in the juicer herself! Success!!!

Thanks for the honest review, it is most helpful when purchasing expensive equipment like this! Good luck to everyone!

I am so grateful for this contest! I make green smoothies in my regular blender – they keep me full until lunch with no cravings and no low blood sugar episodes – yaay! However, I have been “craving” a Vita-mix for a while now! Here’s a recipe for all you bloggers:

1-2 c. raw spinach
1/2 c. roughly chopped (peeled) beet
1/3 cucumber (peeled)
1 mango
1 banana
1-2 tbsp olive oil or 1/2 avocado or handful of nuts of your choice
water – 1-2 c., depending on how thick you like it.

to your health!
