Vitamix 5200 Blender Giveaway (Closed – See winner below): The Details
Someone’s getting a new $449.00 Value 2HP Vitamix 5200 blender for Christmas, ready to make Green Smoothies for many years to come! Here’s what we’ve got in this FREE giveaway for you:
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.
Having a high power professional Vitamix 5200 blender is definitely some good motivation to start making change. Combine that with the delicious recipes in my Green Smoothies for Dummies book and you are going to start the new year right!

What a Fabulous Giveaway! I am getting up earlier each day and keeping the same bedtime each night – gotta protect the Zzzzzzs! 😉
I plan to completely follow a whole foods plant based diet. I am great and feel wonderful when I don’t give in to old habits , but I plan to stay with it no matter what going forward
I plan on exercising 4 times a week, eliminating complex sugars and all whites, and drinking more water.
I’m going to learn to let the little things go. Breathe…
I’m with you on that one Christine! Inhale, exhale….ahhhh!
Jennifer
Cook at home 95% of the time and make more green
juices!
Going to juice or green smoothie every day, and get to the gym at least 3 days a week. Plus, less beer!
This coming new year i would love to lose weight, be healthy from the inside and out. And also get my kids to eat better by making foods on the vitamix. I have 4 kids ages 10, 8, 4 and 1 years 🙂
I will work hard to improve by inner health – by committing to various detoxed (parasite, liver and kidneys).
I plan to finally set up my Fluidity bar and use it at least 3 times per week. I also plan to get a new blender so I can drink veggies and fruits again. (Perhaps I will win one!)
I’d like to eat less carbs and more greens.
I will go to bed earlier… aiming for ten p.m. ! Enough sleep regularly is needed too! 🙂
I’ve been a Raw Vegan for years, and doing small business in same, but the stress can kill ya! Gooodluck!
That’s a good one Peneleapai (I’m writing this at 12:30am…lol!) I should add that to my list – going to bed earlier 🙂
Good luck!
Blessings,
Jennifer
Thank you for your encouragement Jennifer! I plan to exercise more and actually use my elliptical for a workout machine instead of a clothes dryer! Ha Ha! Consume less if any processed foods and add even more healthy fruits and veggies!
Get my sweet tooth under control. I have a passion for organic dark choc.
I am practicing yoga daily and enjoying a green smoothie every day. My goal for the new year is to additionally enjoy an outdoor activity like playing paddle ball 3 times a week! It’s great to live in a climate where I can engage in an outdoor activity for exercise.
I have recently planted a garden so with a vitamix I can use greens from my garden in my smoothies!
Love it Lisa! Fresh greens from the garden would be perfect in a Green Smoothie!
Good luck!!
Blessings,
Jennifer
As a family we have started eating better, I’m always researching better ways to live a healthier life. So with this new year approaching I continuing this habit.
I will keep on going with the Detox diet quarterly in order to see magnificent results… Thank you Jennifer for all those beneficial advice you’re constantly bringing to us.
I would love to eat more fruits n veggies to be healthier!
I will exercise at least 3 times per week!!
Eat less weather and more vegetables
My goal is to exercise at least 30 mins a day and add more organic foods into my diet.
Drink more green smoothies. I don’t think I can commit to one a day forever, but I can definitely do MORE.
I will make sure I eat something green with every meal, everyday.
My goal is to drink a green juice or green smoothie everyday and do at least 30min of activity everyday!
I’ll be trying to eat less; getting smaller portions and not getting seconds.
To start my day making smoothies, instead of juicing!
My healthy change for the new year is to finish my half-hearted kitchen remodel, clearing out the old atmosphere and making my juicer, my food processor, and my new Vitamix blender the focal point, so I can try all these wonderful vegan recipes I have collected.
In the coming new year, I want to FINALLY kick my coffee habit!!! GAH.
With a lovely new Vitamix, it would provide the resource I need to create green-energy filled smoothies everyday ;)!!
Exercise at least three days a week for at least 30 minutes. Eat one green smoothie and at least one glass of juice a day here we come 2015!!!!
For 2015 – eat more whole, raw foods and lift more weights.
For the new year im going to stop eating white sugar and go to yoga at least once a week and drink more juice – hopefully!
My healthy change for the New Year (right now, actually) is getting back to eating more whole, raw foods. Although I am vegan, I have gotten into eating too many processed foods and can definitely feel the difference.
Getting more sleep! It has taken me a few decades to learn that I can’t make smart decisions about anything – especially eating – if I am not decently rested.
What a great giveaway!! For the new year I am going to cut out sugar and practice more yoga. But for now, I definitely plan on eating some pie on Thursday :).
Plan to continue with a raw vegan lifestyle, grow more of my own food and exercise more.
Eating more Raw foods
My plans are to detox and incorporate juicing, clean eating along w/exercise and strength training. In hopes to heal my body from the inside out and to be an inspiration, to encourage my Family and others to do the same. I really need Help, Thank You for Your Help Jennifer Thompson, Your story is such an inspiration to me and Your information is Gold. I have referred my daughters to look You up, one of them is experiencing some issues with her skin. I believe You are A GOD Send. I appreciate Your Love for Healing the Body, Mind and Soul. Thank You Again For All You Do.
CCH
Wow, amazing, thank you!
I’m still laughing about Lani saying she’s going to eat some pie on Thursday….I LOVE reading these intentions and I support you Lani in enjoying that pie!! Balance is the key to success in life. Your goals of cleaning eating and exercise are beautiful Celeste…thanks for sharing!
To your health,
Jennifer
I want to continue to keep my weight at 175 lbs. To do this I don’t eat junk food, work out 4 times a week and follow the challenges that are presented at http://www.eatrighteverybite.com They are developed by a dietician with 37 years of experience working in the weightloss sector. I am on week 17 of a 52 week challenge. A new one is posted every Tuesday. I will continue to eat healthy and maintain my weight. I have lost a total of 38 lbs on my journey. Healthy eating to everyone this holidayh season
My goal for the new year is to get more creative in the kitchen. I eat well as it is, but I could definitely spice things up!
Return to the gym!
Honestly, I’m not sure what else I can do. I’m constantly adapting healthy habits from cooking more to adding more veggies to eating more protein. I’m sure I’ll think of something by then though 🙂
This is awesome 🙂 I am going to try this smoothie
I love this giveaway guanos a lot for sharing all your knowledge
Hi Laura,
Thanks for your gratitude and kind words. I’m inspired to read everyone’s positive intentions already.
It’s a gift is to be able to read so many beautiful health goals!
Jennifer
join a gym, juice more
I am going to continue to cut down of my anti depressants an continue to use more plantbased foods and exercise for my medicine to heal my body and mind and to be free of medication.. I am determined..xxx
Everything in moderation!
after 15 months of several surgeries I am determined to start walking and exercising again…and cooking healthy foods again. Plus I just moved…I’m in total chaos trying to find everything which is difficult when you’ve just had your sixth foot surgery and can’t walk. But I’ll get there.
My goal is to eat more raw food and eliminate gluten. Plus I want to make sure I make time for me to train and meditate.
I would love to give my body a full detox for the new year and stop snacking at night!
This year I plan on taking my vegan lifestyle to the next level. No more backsliding and committing to whole healthy living!
My goal is to make sure I eat breakfast everyday.
