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!

Started eating cleaner and eating more natural foods to fuel my Brazilian jiu-jitsu nutritional needs. A vitamix would really help me achieve my goals since I currently don’t own a working blender.
I have really wanted to amp up my family’s nutrition. I really want 2013 to be the year we eat better and I set the standard for my young children so they can learn how to eat healthy and use that information all of their lives! I want them to be able to pass on healthy eating habits to their children as well!
I eat local organic foods. It tastes better and I feel better feeding my family healthy foods. My skin is healthier and I have more energy.
I have been trying to eat whole green foods! I feel a lot more energy when I eat them consistently! Having a Vitamix would make this a lot easier to do!!
Around 8 months ago I started having one green smoothie a day. As a result, my IBS has completely gone away, I have much more energy, I lost 10 pounds and its stayed off, and I feel so much closer to Mother Earth. today I am actually starting two smoothies a day. Thank you so much for the help with my transition. You’ve helped more than you’ll ever know!
I had high cholesterol (264) so I started juicing based on the movie “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” for 30 days. Now I eat mostly soups and salads and my cholesterol is 295! In the process I also lost 30 pounds! If I win this I would gift it to my in-laws so they could start a healthier lifestyle aw well.
I started juicing one year ago this month. My skin is clearer and I have way more energy!
I embraced a vegan diet and my thyroid problems went away without medications!

I also follow both you and vitamix via twitter @Kayday3
A positive change that I have made to my diet is that at the beginning of the year I started juicing! I have found that I have more energy and better skin as a result.
I was taking potassium in pills and I used to hate taking them on April I decided to make my own banana smoothies or kiwi,melon and spinach smoothies and since then I’m no longer taking the potassium pills and my potassium levels are perfect. I also decided to eat healthier more clean and less processed foods. I had a liver transplant 5 years ago, and since then I had a bumpy road but since eating better I can feel a huge difference in my body.
Thank you for doing this great giveaway.
I used to HATE eating vegetables when I was a kid til I was in my teens, and got hooked on eating them when I began to be more health-conscious because of my uncle who’s a great health advocate. I noticed that I became more fit and combined with exercise was not as sickly as I used to be. I would love to win the vitamix for my mom because she wants to increase our vegetable/fruit intake so that we’ll be healthier, considering that my dad’s side of the family has a history of heart-related problems.
In 2010 when I deployed, I was 198 lbs and not close to being in shape. I started eating fruits and veggies primarily and 7 months later I was 176 lbs with 11% body fat. (PHENOMINAL) But I wasn’t pigging out on them, I ate in portions. When you eat a fruit and veggie diet, you will naturally get full anyway, so it was a “win-win”. It is AMAZING how positive my outlook was and how great I felt.
No dairy and less digestive problems!
Hi I’ve has the vitamix on my with list for 2 years now. I really pray I win this, it would dramatically help boost our energy levels. We have a family of 5 and it’s so hard to get everyone to eat all the necessary fruits and veggies. Eating healthier has brought a balance to my body that it screamed for. Our bodies know what they need and often times we chose what’s easiest or more convenient. I want to end this cycle once and for all.
I havent been the healthiest throughout my life.I partied constantly & took my health for granted.I suffered from depression, acne, digestive issues and had pre-cancerous cells lasered away.I have took it upon myself to learn all i can for myself and my family.I took my health very seriously during my recent twin pregnancy.(They are now 3.5months) & kept to a clean, plant based diet and pleased my doctor with my health throughout.I saw her every week and had regular tests with blood,urine etc and never had one ailment throughout.No backaches,no morning sickness,no cravings,no urine infections,nothing typical you’d expect from a multiples pregnancy.I kept my iron levels naturally high(no supplements needed) with foods like spirulina,hummous,spinach etc and after booking a c-section I ended up in natural surprise labour that was an amazing experience and I only gained 2 stone 9lbs! (think that is 37lbs?).Would love to win the vitamix to help start my twins on a healthy diet , I have a lot of purée to make! Xx
I have reduced my migraines since becoming vegetarian.
I have been eating a raw food diet since March of this year and would love to be able to make many of the recipes that require a high speed blender. I have a small blender but I nearly burned it up this past Thanksgiving trying to make a raw pumpkin pie. So far I have lost 45 lbs by eating healthy, local and organic. Thanks for your consideration!
I have added more organic fruits and vegetables to my diet and cut down considerably on my meat consumption. I have more energy, clearer skin and have also lost weight, which helps keep my blood sugar levels stable. People think that I’m 10 years younger than my acutal age.
I love my Vita Mix. When I became lactose intolerant; I learned how to make nut milk and soon after green smoothie. I can’t imagine life without it. I recently went on vacation and missed the best blended in the world. The smoothies were not the same. I almost cried when I thought my pitcher was leaking. I got a wrench to tic it. I even sent for another pitcher just invade it would not work.
I’ve stopped drinking sodas, and only drink water! I can tell a huge difference in my skin and in my energy. I just feel all around better!
the best giveaway ever..I love everying about ya!If you were Paleo than enough was said!
Drinking more water and eating whole foods…would love the Vitamix for green smoothies!
My mom and died at an early age from health related diseases and I decided to take better care of my health by making healthy food choices especially after having my children.. I recently graduated as a Health Coach and also attended a Raw Food seminar as a birthday gift to myself. My Raw Food teacher made smoothies and green juices using a Vitamix blender, they were so delicious. I had never heard or seen a Vitamix blender before and my teacher boasted that she has been using it for years without fail. I would really like to own a Vitamix but really cannot afford one with 3 kids in school. Raw Foods make me feel so energised and I have now started to consume more raw foods meals daily.
I have cut out all sugary drinks and slowly but surely omitting all white from my diet. Has already mad a tremendous difference two of us have lost 60 pounds! 🙂
I am weaning myself off a heavy diet pepsi habit. I feel there is an improvement in my skin and joint stiffness.
After antibiotic overuse due to respiratory infections as a child and acne through my teens and into my 20’s I am rebuilding my digestive system. I have been incorporating more raw and fermented foods and have eliminated all processed foods, wheat and dairy. I had a friend loan her vitamix to me while away travelling for 2 months and I miss it dearly!!
I stopped drinking diet coke in April and have been drinking more water. I feel better knowing that my water intake has increased and that I could give up something I liked so much. I would love to start drinking green smoothies and know my blender can’t handle making them.
I cut gluten and dairy out of my diet completely — I feel so much cleaner and leaner!
joining an organic vegetable CSA. We learned how to prepare and love all kinds of new, organic vegetables every week
I have stopped eating processed foods and have noticed increased energy because of it!
I’ve been shopping at Whole Foods, and learning more about healthy choices by their classes and booklets and other information via magazine articles, etc. I like to adventure through the aisles and try new products and learn why each is a healthy and environmentally good choice, whether fish, whole grain, dairy, meat, produce, you name it!!!
I have been trying to heal my body naturally, so I have cut out coffee, sugar and wheat and trying to introduce more natural foods. So far I have noticedimprovement in energy levels and my emotions.
adding probiotics to my diet and less red meat and beef (rare to eat) more grilled chicken.
Wow!!! So excited to see this give-away!! I’ve had the Vitamix on my wishlist for over a year now. I’ve recently started a plant-based diet and truly would love to have a vitamix to help me make amazing meat-free meals for my family. They’re not on board yet but I believe if they “like” the meals I create it would be so much easier to “convince” them. Plus adding veggies in the vitamix they wouldn’t even know the good nutrients they’re getting!! Thank-you so much for this amazing opportunity! And Good Luck to everyone!!!!
Since having children, we committed ourselves to eating whole foods and preparing our meals from scratch. I’ve noticed that the haze has cleared and I can think more clearly.
I have stopped eating processed foods. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
For the past three weeks, I’ve been taking a long hard look at what I’ve been ingesting. Less sugar, more water, and very little if any processed food. I’ve noticed a boost in energy and sleep. Slowly but surely, I’m making a push towards healthier eating.
Following Dr Fuhrman’s Nutritarian program , and I love it. That is how I learned about the wonders of the Vitamix! Smoothies are awesome!! And you can make some really terrific and nutritious salad dressings!!
I eat a whole foods, vegetarian diet and avoid dairy. I love the foods I eat and the energy they give. I truly believe God gave us all the things we need, in the plants that grow on our planet. I am passionate about good food and great health! There is no way I can afford a VitaMix but I know how it will improve my nutrient intake and increase repertoire of recipes! Please select me!!
turned vegan, went organic and juice daily. No processed food or oils. Blood pressure returned to normal first time ever since my teenage years and cholesterol went from 270 to 120
Our family focuses more on healthier meals like green vegetables at every meal but breakfast, whole grains, and foods that are grilled or baked vs fried. We’ve noticed the difference in how our bodies feel. In fact when we eat foods that are fried or “junk food” we notice the difference. It’s amazing what healthier eating does for you and how it makes you feel.
I have started drinking a gallon of water a day and adding supplements to my diet. I have a child with autism and would love to give green smoothies to my family with the Vitamix! I really enjoy your tweets.
Thanks for everything, Jen!!

As a family we have cut out most refined sugar and carbs and have begun to eat mostly whole and raw foods. We try to have a green drink every morning and have been very excited at the way our 5 kids have responded, often times, waiting in the kitchen excitedly, for their “smoothie”! We have loved the difference it has made in our overall feeling of well being! Yay for green foods!!
I now do most of my shopping in the produce area and avoid most of the rows of processed foods. I love fruits and veggies!
I’ve started drinking green smoothies, almost every morning. It fills me up for the whole morning & gives me a head start on getting 9 servings of fruits & veggies each day.
I’ve cut out most processed foods and been eating a ton more leafy greens. My stomach problems have decreased dramatically.
I went vegan a few years ago and while it did help me to feel better, I quickly fell prey to the vegan baked goods/junk food diet (Hello Oreos!) I finally recently decided to limit the sugar and the carbs and start eating clean whole foods. I’m losing weight. have more energy and most importantly, I feel fantastic!
I used to eat fast food two years straight because I couldn’t afford much else, then I started to get really sick. I eventually decided to do a 5 day cleanse with only having liquid vegetable and fruit juices, I saw so much improvement I made my boyfriend start trying juices. Now i try to eat healthier by eating salads and fruits, and when i get the chance even raw. My headaches slowly went away, i wasn’t so depressed and I wasn’t tired in the middle of the day not to mention I felt cleaner!
I have cut out gluten and dairy and have been eating more greens and stopped eating red meats and have lost 134 pounds, I’m working in the rest and just feeling so much better not anymore heartburn or belly aches.. We’ve been doing the transition for my husband as well he has to be in the best shap he can be cause he needs a heart transplant,and it would help us out a great deal to have this prize to be cable to combine the fruits and greens for he and I .
I would love to win this, I have a few friends that have a vitamix and tottally love it. I have been trying to do more smoothies for breakfast but my blender is very small, so can`t use all the veggies and fruits.
