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!

I will stop drinking sodas and fast food!!
The things I would like to incorporate in the new year to ensure a healthy lifestyle are: challenging negative thoughts through mindfulness and meditation and helping others.. Juicing and getting sleep are also two of the things that have improved my health this past year.
Thanks for the giveaway!! Eat more raw food!! I love raw vegan food!! And make more exercise 🙂
Give myself a few moments of just focused deep breathing each day… and I’m not waiting till the new year.
Eat more raw food.
I will eat more raw good.
One healthy change I will be making next year is I will stop drinking carbonated drinks. I love juicing and water, but I tend to slip every so often.
I have been glued to this book, been experimenting with so many suggestions in the book and I cannot tell you how much better I already feel. Thank you for all your great knowledge. We benefit everyday and every way from what you share with us.
That’s so nice to hear Carol, thank you!
I worked really hard to write a a Green Smoothie book that’s filled with good tips and recipes so I’m happy to hear that you enjoy!
To your health,
Jennifer
One healthy change I will make for the New Year is adding in more exercise to my lifestyle! 😀
I need to be more strict on my Paleo diet. Been splurging a little too much.
I believe a major part of our being physically healthy lies in being mentally/spiritually healthy. I plan on developing a greater spiritual practice, and try to spread the “love” around.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
My healthy change for this year is to drop yeast products Aka “breads”, and add more dehydrated healthy flatbreads instead.
I am determined to eat 100 days of salad in the new year! Hopefully it’ll be a habit that sticks and I can share my new recipes with family and friends!
My one healthy thing is to pay attention to me – to get healthy I need to focus on me and not be everyone else’s caretaker… so Mommy needs to swim and write down what she puts in her mouth!
Hey Jennifer 🙂
I’ve been having problems with my gut and my hormonal balance for years now. My gut has been causing problems to me all my life. Pretty much all my money and time goes on searching the answer to my problems. My mental health has crashed down because of my hormonal acne. The cortisol levels are touching the sky, even though I should just let go of the stress. Although it’s harder than it’s sounds.
Still I’m not a giver, so I’m really trying as hard as I can. So for new year’s promise I’m going to find my peace with myself again and really just let go of the self-hatred. I wanna breath, laugh and smile again, because that’s me. I wanna find myself again and stop stressing for my health!
Nature and her seasons are so very inspirational – a simple goal is to strengthen connection with our universe and nature – via cleansing/fasting/eating (seasonally-locally) & living in harmony with the seasons! (I know this may sound a bit hippie-dippy) just knowing we are made up of 60% water?- just think of the impact the moon/tides have on the earth and on us!!!???
You are a gift indeed!
Hubby is like a kid. Avoids veggies. But I look to find ways to “sneak” them in. Especially since he is diabetic. He needs that balance to keep his numbers low.
I will end my habit of eating in front of the computer. Yes I will!
Love to you all.
Going to put my Fitbit back on and start my walking routine again. Right after Christmas. Well, probably after New Year’s. Next year, for sure. I hope. ….if I’m not scrapbooking, or cooking, or being with the grandkids..
To follow a plant based healthy healing diet and heal my body with whole foods.
I will not use chemicals to clean my house.
I’m starting to add more variety to my gym routine, to keep improving my flexibility!
Thanks for your generosity. It will help me motivated to eat the right things.
2015 is dedicated to deepening my spiritual practices. I have begun gathering basic yoga inversions to incorporate into my morning routine and a journal to use over the next few weeks to stay in touch with gratitude! 🙂
I’m giving up pasta! lol Back to daily salads, walking more, and losing 20 lbs, yay!
To start making smoothies again for breakfast and working out every morning
Laugh more, eat better and stress less
Oh, these on definitely on my list too Jane!! 🙂
Keep eating raw vegan and gluten free as much as I could. Thanks for sharing your story and knowledge with us. I’m grateful for everything you do!
For 2015 I have decided to become a yoga instructor and healthy smoothies demonstrator.
I have been practicing hot yoga intensively for the last two years and blending healthy juices for 6 years.
Combination off those two can rejuvenate you and your life.
I want to spread the experience.
😉
I’m making some progress in turning my health around but I won’t be able to fully complete a 180 if I don’t learn to (enjoy) cook(ing). That’s my 2015 goal.
I’m looking forward to feeling “healthy bliss” and living my life (not hiding from it). I want to be able to take care of my family better but I know I have to start with myself first. The blender would be another valuable tool to getting to me to my best self. Love your website. Thank you for the chance.
Exercise at least 3x per week.
My biggest goal for the year is to practice more self love by cleansing quarterly (something I used to do regularly then became less vigilant about). Self love is the first love. Thank you for this wonderful contest. Can imagine making green smoothies, soups, and more, every day, with this! #love #gratitude
Consistently eat healthier
ketosis for 3 months!
No more calorie counting and watching numbers on the scale, just replacing the junk with healthy, healing foods!
The one thing I am planning on doing is trying to better myself and keep High Impact sugars/foods out of my diet
I plan to stop drinking so many sodas:)
Not to work so hard…and re-start self nourishment. Oh! And do a yearly detox for a month!
Love how it feels!!
A healthy change is that I need to get back to drinking more water daily.
My goal is to incorporate more raw foods and consistency with my cardio.
I would like to know if you are familiar with healthy eating for women with a Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome. What is the healthiest way to treat a child with Asthma, get a sugar addict to change his way and what is best for a senior who had her thyroid remove and what to give someone who is trying to quit smoking. I know its a lot but I will be happy with just one. Thank you.
Hi Claudia,
That’s a hefty list and even to address one is not possible in a few sentences! When you are ready to make change, I can help. Please contact me privately and we can discuss ways to work together.
Thank you!
To your health,
Jennifer
I am going to eat raw foods, and strive to replicate the way chimpanzees eat.
Hmmm, ok! That sounds interesting! Let us know how it goes and I wish you luck!
My best,
Jennifer
I am once again planning on drinking more water and less fruit juices. I do notice when I drink more water my skin looks way much better. I just have to stay on it and not go back to drinking juices and neglected pure water.
For the New Year I want to remain focus, Not to let anyone or anything deter me from striving to have a healthy body,
Focus – YES! Love it. Good luck Sharon!
To your health,
Jennifer
Hi Jen,
Thank You for this opportunity!
The up coming year is a work in Paul year! A year dedicated to my health! Start off with a repeat of your recommendations : immune boosting, then humaworm, then a couple cleanses followed and always accompanied by green smoothies and fresh juices – let’s not forget daily shots of either ginger or wheatgrass!! Then keep on bringing my health back up … Thinking of my family, wife and kids before my comites and work!!! I know this is a biggie!!! But I’ve been conditioning myself since my last iridiology sessions!!!
Looking forward to consulting again very soon 😉 and good luck to all!!!
Paul 😉
Canada
GREAT list Paul, Lovin’ your enthusiasm and your focus on family health!!
My best,
Jennifer
No more yo yo nutrition, a life style change due to my diabetes. Heal from the inside out and I truly believe by properly juicing that will enhance my health to a more effective path, including physical activities and my goal is to be productive not perfect.
I’m almost scared to write this down… My goal is to get off sugar and tame my sweets habit! And again making raw foods a higher percentage of my diet.
Your COURAGE is inspiring! Writing down your goals makes them REAL and that’s the first step to success!
Good luck Matea, thanks for sharing!
Jennifer
My goal is to decrease gluten and dairy intake. I had a dream I won a Vitamix which is my inspiration for entering. I hope it comes true! Thank you for the chances. 🙂
My goal for the new year is to get more creative in the kitchen and to put more healthy meals on the table for my husband and kids to enjoy.
