Happy New Year CCC!  Let’s start off 2014 with a bang.  Time for another members-only recipe contest with a prize that will knock your socks off.

During the month of January we are all looking to get back on track after an indulgent holiday season.  Sometimes it can be a challenge, but I have found one stellar kitchen appliance makes healthy food preparation a whole lot easier – a VITAMIX!

This month, we challenge CCC members to invent their best healthy and delicious smoothie recipe using one of 10 “superfoods.”

The best “Superfood Smoothie” will win a Vitamix Professional Series 750!  

Prize Details:

Grand Prize – One winner will receive a Vitamix Professional Series 750.   A $689 value!

This is so much more than a blender!  It comes with 5 pre-programmed settings to ensure consistent results and simple cleaning.  There are variable speeds and pulse functions with a powerful motor with a blade speed tip up to 240 miles per hour!  This elegant new design features a 64 oz. capacity container with a spill-proof lid and patented tamper.  The winner will also enjoy an instructional DVD and cookbook!
