Enter my FREE Vitamix Blender Giveaway here!
This Beauty of a Blender could be Yours for FREE!
Just in case you don’t know what a Vitamix is, it’s a blender. That means it blends the fiber and the liquid of whatever you put inside. It is not a juicer (a juicer separates the fiber from the liquid, leaving only the liquid for you to drink). A blender is very practical for busy people because it takes a just a few minutes to prepare your creation, is very easy to clean, and with a blender, you get all the nutrients from your food plus you get the fiber too. Most people are simply not eating enough fiber in their daily diet; the result can lead to poor digestion, acid reflux, arthritis, bad skin, weak liver, sluggishness, foul breath and even restless sleep. Getting fiber in your diet is so easy when you simply have 1 healthy smoothie a day. Add superfoods to your smoothie and you can really maximize the power of your foods to get the most fiber, nutrients, minerals and chlorophyll – all valuable tools for healing and all elements needed to make you feel that Healthy Bliss!

I became vegan, and I think that focuses me more on veggies.
I went on a 60 day juice fast & lost 70 lbs. Green smoothies & juices totally cured my heartburn. I didn’t have the greatest juicer (or blender) but I was so determined to take control of my health. Being heartburn free has freed me of medication & slimming down has changed my life in more ways than I could imagine. Veg 4 Life!
I no longer drink sugary drinks….only water and tea for me! Less sugar cravings.
I began juice feasting in late January 2012 and I’ve released about 30 lbs and kept it off with ease. I feel lighter and I’ve been told I look younger than ever. =)
Hi Jennifer!
What a great giveaway! I think this year has been a turning point for me as I decided to educate myself about nutrition by reading, watching videos and meeting like minded people. You were a huge inspiration to me, especially after meeting you in person this year at The Pink Cow in Tokyo! It was a wonderful day:) Green smoothies are now my energy “fix” instead of coffee every morning, and I feel so much better! I have pestered local shops here to order in fresh organic kale and Swiss Chard from Hokkaido-previously it was VERY difficult to get here, so now we can have fresh kale in our smoothies-YUM! If I was lucky enough to win this amazing machine, I would use it to educate others as well, by giving friends and students smoothies and juices. I would like to be able to set up some green smoothie English classes into my courses. (I am an English teacher here in Tokyo). Thank you for educating and inspiring so many people worldwide! Hope to see you in Samui early next year-Happy Holidays!
I have eliminated gluten from my diet. Since then, I have become leaner, less bloating, and have much more energy!! As as result I no longer need my morning coffee!
One major change has been to greatly increase my organic vegetable and fruit intake. It is so easy with the vitamix – it only takes a few minutes to make a smoothie and wash the blender. My body feels great, my skin looks really good and I feel much healthier and have more energy.
I have started juicing twice a day and cut many processed foods out of my diet completely !!. this giving me more energy and mental clarity .
My newest change in diet/lifestyle is a green smoothie every morning! I start thinking about it after dinner, planning which fruits & veggies to use the next morning! I need some new ideas! Thanks for this giveaway…each prize is fabulous.
I have completely changed the way I eat in the last 3 weeks. I no longer eat any grains, dairy or sugar and NO processed foods at all. I have lost 10lbs and 6″ in just three weeks. My energy levels are skyrocketing, I sleep wonderfully and my skin is clearing up. I have multiple auto immune diseases, but my symptoms are so low that they are almost nil (coming from a place where I was bed bound just under a year ago). My medications are being adjusted to lower levels with the hope that I will be able to discontinue some completely!
I have started Green smoothies in my diet and cut out a large portion of meat from my diet. The results have been to my LDL lowering by 40 points.
I brought your juicer many years ago from TVSN as I was not healthy at all I had bad liver high cholesterol,
And bad skin now I juice every day now and have been since I brought it. Now my liver is amazing my cholesterol is perfect and my skin is amazing. And it’s all thanks to vitality for life what you guys do is amazing thank you from the bottom of my healthy heart ohhh and I now weigh 54 kilos and I was 69 kilos.
So really thank you : )
What a unique and blissful journey we have all been on! I commend and congratulate everyone doing amazing things for themselves. I personally have been vegan for 9 months, and immediately felt lighter, better, and cleaner. Knowing exactly what goes into my body and where it comes from is all too satisfying for words. I am also currently preparing myself for a water fast, I cannot wait to see the amazing changes and improvements that will bring me!
Peace, love, and veggies xo
I have been eating more raw food and eating chia pudding.
Started this year by having two shake a day.down 20 # and more energy then I have had in years.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year at 44 and after having cancer treatment, I am finding it hard to lose weight and get energy back, I’m eating less processed food and more salad and veges, it’s a slow process but I can feel I am getting there
I use my vitamix and recipes to help me add more whole foods to my diet and it really gives me energy!
Went vegan & green smoothies for breakfast & lunch = plenty of energy and great skin.
Just started “The Beauty Detox Solution” and have lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks. I cut out dairy and gluten, eating a ton more greens and starting my day with a green drink. I have so much more energy and can’t wait to try the green smoothie!
the positive change i made into my diet was…not food at all…it was LOVE and Gratitude!! When I overcame my depression and started LOVING myself, other people and Mother Nature, I became eternally grateful!!! 🙂 Love and gratitude for myself, humanity and nature caused me to take proper care of my body and the earth, I started to minimize processed junk and incorporate whole, living foods fresh from mother nature into my diet and encourage others as well!!! The health benefits are awesome!!! I’ve received mental clarity, my skin looks amazing, I rarely suffer from dis-ease anymore and i have energy for days. I LOVE resonating with Mother Nature 🙂
When I drink fruit and veggie smoothies, I have way more energy than ever before!
Getting a Vitamix a couple of years ago was the best thing I did for my health. It was the impetus to me turning my nutrition around. I want the chance to win a Vitamix for my grandma, whose health has deteriorated a lot and needs nutritional support. I’d make her smoothies, but I live in a different state.
I’ve cut out sodas, started excercising, reducing portions. Now I’m ready to focus on the foods I put into my (and my families) body. I’ve been looking at purchasing a Vitamix to help but haven’t yet. I’d love to win! Thanks for offering us all the opportunity!
I get far more veggies and fruit in my diet, because I don’t have to cook them and it is far more easier!!!
I dropped soda for water & added more spices to all my foods. I am eating more greens, nuts, & fruits.
I’ve completely cut meat salt msg added sugars and concentrated more on whole raw foods. I feel so much better not tired lots of energy and sleep good at night now 🙂 hope I win this BMW of a blender 🙂
My husband works late and doesn’t want to eat a large dinner when he gets home, so he started making a smoothie every night with blueberries and flaxseed…among other things and shares it with me! It’s amazingly filling and satisfying.
We eliminated all animal products from our diet about six years ago. Cholesterol levels plummeted, which meant hubs avoided having to take medication. But just as important, we enjoy food more now than ever. We began trying all sorts of wonderful fruits, vegetables and foods we never had before. Our meals brim with vibrant colors and incredible flavors. Our kitchen feels so clean now, never having to worry about cross contamination from uncooked meat and such. Our only regret — not making this change sooner.
I have just started my journey with my husband and I. We are juicing veggies and fruits. We are also making morning smoothies. We are really interested in taking it to the next level for next year. This would allow us to do that.
We have to go over to our friends house to get decent smoothies. Would love to win one of our own.
Recently I have cut all processed foods from my diet as well as sodas. Water only, with the exception of my fruit and vegi smoothies. Exercise daily and walks with the dog. I feel great.
I have gone to a total liquid diet gluten free. I am juicing and keeping my vitamins in order. I have Gastroparesis so I need a vitamix. 😉
Smoothies! First smoothie mix is avocado with apple, milk, ice, and banana. Second is papaya with apple, pineapple, banana, orange juice, ripe mango, and ice. Third is kale with blueberries, apple, banana, milk, and ice. Increases you metabolism, gives you energy, and feeling full the whole day.
i intend to start a raw diet and i loveeee smothies!!! vitamix would be great to make my dream come true, cannot afford it otherwise 😉 merry Christmas :)))
I have started working out and I eat a lot more raw foods and a lot of fruit and vegetables and I have been doing smoothie’s for the past 3 years and love it so much it has changed the way I feel and how I eat. I absolutely feel so much better than I have in years. A lot of energy and more drive to do many more things.
reduce my story by telling you that I had a very sedentary life, to the point that it resulted in me thyroid problems, obesity and hormonal disorders. until I said enough! and I started to read and educate myself about food and their properties, and I lost 15 kilos, I have 33 years old and looked 50 but that is just .. Now as nutritionally. and I would love to win this fabulous machine to continue my eating plan, nurture of all vegetables and fruits in a better way and to continue to encourage my good health. thank you very much
cutting out processed foods, sugar (big one for me), and going gluten-free has made a HUGE difference healthwise. i will do what it takes to improve my health! now just need a way to make green smoothies with a good blender so i dont have that horrible sip-and-chew. hope to win please!!!
Eating more green vegetables has resulted in a improved digestive system, more energy and weight loss
Avoided sodium to help my blood pressure but would love to do more.
Fruity green smoothies, water kefir, and learning about low fat raw vegan!
i have done lots of things, but looking back the single most important thing that i ever did that started all the lifestyle changes i’ve made was giving up soda pop, cola drinks. i lost weight after doing that. those things would have killed me! thanks for the giveaway!
I am gluten intolerant but didn’t cut out gluten 100% until earlier this year after doing a Whole 30. It’s made a huge difference and I am no longer craving gluten. I’ve also cut out refined sugars after that experience. Thanks!
I ran my first half marathon recently by implementing not only training, but healthy foods like green smoothies, protein smoothies, and natural and raw foods. I am studying nutrition in college in hopes of being a dietician (or something similar and exciting!) and a vitamix given to me FREE would be awesome for an aspiring nutritionist on a college student budget. I would be so elated to have the tools to being healthier on my own, and learn more about the power of foods to fuel our bodies.
I started cooking for myself& eating 2 meals a day!
Eating clean, lost 35 lbs…
I bought my vitamix a year ago when I turned 50. Making the decision that I wanted to be a slim fit old lady, rather then continuing down the path of putting on a “just a few” pounds each year. In 1 year I was down toy goal weight, eating much more healthy fresh food. A green smoothly or 2 a day has made all the difference!
I’ve incorporated more raw foods into my diet. I love smoothies and fresh squeezed/pressed juice. I always feel better win I drink them. I’ve actually started to CRAVE them! So many around me are down with the flu, strep, or other nasty bug- not me! If I do feel achy it’s usually less than 12 hours; no fever, and just tired. I feel like raw foods heal the body and sadly most of us don’t get anywhere near a fraction of the required fruits and vegetables. After going raw for one month, my total cholesterol lowered by 61 points, my LDL lowered by 45 points and my triglycerides went down by 2 points (they were already normal.) I love how I feel!!!
Avoided sugar, added nuts, seeds (good fats)! Result: more energy!
I started making green smoothies in my 3rd pregnancy and it made such a difference! I also reduced sugar consumption and went gluten free. My whole family is much healthier for it. My energy level is much better and my skin is clearer.
I’ve been drinking green smoothies in the morning to try to boost my intake of vitamins. I usually do Spinach, carrot, white chia seeds, then whatever fruits I have. YUM. I’m actually starting to crave them!
