12 Days of Christmas Giveaway: Day 4

December 8, 2016

12 Days of Christmas Giveaway: Vitamix Blender

On the fourth day of Christmas I give you a Vitamix 5200 blender  (valued at $579)!  If you haven’t used one of these machines before, you are in for a TREAT!

12 Days of Christmas Giveaway: Vitamix Blender

Our Vitamix blender was a game-changer in our kitchen!  The cool-running motor processes the toughest whole foods down to the tiniest seeds.  From soups to smoothies, it is up there with my most-used kitchen gadgets and makes ‘clean’ eating so much easier (it is so powerful that you can actually make heated soup out of cold ingredients!).  I even used it to make these Date Power Bars pictured above!

Vitamix Blender

Of course, I couldn’t feature the blender without a recipe to go with it.  This Pink Smoothie pictured above is FILLED with antioxidants and fibre from the beets which are also a good source of folic acid, manganese and potassium.  Eating beets may even reduce your risk of diabetes and heart disease and promotes healthier hair and complexion.  Not a bad thing to cram into a smoothie!

Serves 2

Pink Smoothie:

  • 1 c. raw peeled beets, diced into 1/2″ chunks
  • 2 1/2 c. water
  • 1 c. Greek raspberry yogurt
  • 1/2 c. berry pomegranate juice
  • 1 c. frozen raspberries

Directions:

  1. Cook the beets in the water on medium-high heat in a small saucepan until the beets are very tender, approximately 30 minutes.  Set aside to cool (do not drain).
  2. Once cooled, place all of your ingredients into your Vitamix blender and blend until smooth.

 

The contest is open to residents of Canada and the US, good luck!  The winner will be drawn on December 17th and announced on December 18th.

    Love juicing! I currently have a Hurom Slow Juicer and my 4 kids love helping me to prep the veggies but would love to have more juicing / smoothie options. This is also much quicker to prepare fresh juice so my kids will do it more often!

LAST CALL - ‘Keep it Fraîche’ snack mix is disappearing on the 15th!  It was such a pleasure to partner with @mynakedsnacks on a snack that I am head over heels in love with. 
This is the snack that keeps me fuelled through my crazy busy days!  It’s custom designed with all my favourite trail mix ingredients (helloooo dark chocolate and dried cherries) and available in 3 custom size boxes.
I simply love that the company is locally owned by two kind souls Neil and Riley ... who just had a sweet baby!
Head to the link in my profile to shop and thank you for all of your support for the snack and of course for their company it means the world to me ❤️

Priorities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thinking about them a lot these last few days. I’ve been reading the book ‘Untamed’ by @glennondoyle (have you read it? love to hear your thoughts), and it’s made me really think.  It made me think about my childhood, my relationships (including the one with myself) and what I want to put out to the world in the short time I have here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My last post was sharing our story of my dad’s journey with  Alzheimer’s. We are so lucky to have him at such an early stage of the disease, fully himself.  He is such a gift to us and the world. In sharing this story a floodgate of touching yet heart-wrenching stories poured in.  My heart expanded and broke at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jillian posted something about high functioning anxiety the other day, and I checked most (ok all) of those boxes ... ugh.  The irony is that I live a lot in the future, a little busy body, not really taking the time to enjoy the present - but one day, should I have the same disease as my dad (50% chance), I will truly only have the capacity to live in that moment.  It stopped me dead in my tracks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I wade into 2021 I am doing my best to realign my life to match my priorities - perfect balance isn’t what I’m after, that’s nonsense as far as I’m concerned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little deep for a Tuesday but that’s where my brain is at today!  Sending love ... as always. ❤️

Without a doubt the most difficult blog post I have ever written.  My sweet incredible funny kind loving dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a diagnosis that tore my heart in two. This is our story.  The post is on the blog FraicheLiving.com 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.  Sending you all love, especially those who have been impacted by this disease. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We remain hopeful, and are reminded on the daily to not take life for granted. ❤️

Travels with this crew... 🤍
My parents & Jillian’s (our moms are sisters) have always travelled together and have had THE MOST incredible adventures (our dads are ridiculously witty - literally the funniest humans). Looking back I can guarantee that those are some of their best memories.
I’m so grateful that we got to do the same last year - I can’t wait for another trip!  And might I say that I wish I was eating my lunch in this spot today!  Thank you again @nimmobayresort
