Smoothie Challenge

Thanks so much for doing this smoothies challenge. I especially enjoyed the peanut butter and Cacao powder one, but they all were great. I had gotten a little burnt out on my “old standbys” and enjoyed new, refreshing ones.

As a PA, I try to have healthy eating habits to set an example for patients. The Challenge and daily emails helped keep me on track!

The flavours of all the different smoothies has been awesome, to the point where I actually enjoyed the experience. Not usually one for drinking smoothies – but thought I would give it a go and it was definitely worth my time

I enjoyed this last smoothie and did make some changes in the previous smoothies too. I am pre diabetic and have high cholesterol so I’m trying to avoid the super sugary fruits like bananas and in this last smoothie recipe you said to swap it with frozen cauliflower, what a great idea!!!! You are right, the taste of it is pretty inexistent.. loved this idea!!!

I do smoothies daily and using ginger and turmeric in every single smoothie (love ginger) unfortunately at times the taste of ginger is prevalent to everything I use.

I loved this challenge because I learned how to mix, swap ingredients as my liking and healthier to my needs.

I read someone said it would be nice to have the challenge for be 2 weeks and I completely agree!!

Thank you for helping me make my smoothies healthier and interesting.

Joined to jumpstart better eating habits this year. I’m obsessed!!! These smoothies are just the thing to get me going everyday.

I liked the opportunity to try so many new smoothies recipes. I really liked 6 out of 7 recipes. It give me confidence and ideas to help make new recipes and combinations of ingredients to make delicious smoothies apart of my diet regularly. Thank you !

I joined the challenge to renew my confidence in making smoothies. I was a green smoothie junkie about 13 years ago. We were an army family and I was on a weight loss and health renewal journey. Since my husband retired from the army, we’ve moved a few times, adjusted to civilian life and raised our kids. AND gotten older lol! I needed a kickstart to revitalize my health and ease my creaky joints. I enjoyed the recipes during the challenge. The PDF was very helpful, so thank you! I did add pea protein, chia seeds and sometimes oats to my smoothies depending on my needs for the day. I slept better and deeper overall, and felt refreshed when I woke up the next day. I didn’t lose any weight but I did have a lot less bloating. I plan to repeat the challenge this week and add an additional green smoothie each day. Thank you and your team for putting this even together. It has been a great experience!

Always looking for ways to improve my daily smoothies.

Love having a smoothie every day. The recipes were great, easy and delicious.

Love the challenge

I joined to try the smoothie recipes that give me alternatives for healthier eating. I enjoyed making all the recipes and only the honey turmeric smoothie was not for me, although with some tweaks it could be. I will work on the tweaks. I lost 4 pounds over the week so hoping I keep it off by rotating smoothies into my regular daily eating. I’m glad you added the PDF for the grocery list. I didn’t try any of the challenge deals (not that I didn’t like them, just didn’t get to take advantage of them), but with having the flu this week I don’t recall them, but you probably mentioned them at the pre-challenge workshop. I didn’t read many emails this week, so I may have missed that info if it was in an email. My inbox was inundated with emails every time someone posted a comment so I will have to figure out how to turn that off for future challenges as I miss finding other emails in the long list of smoothie challenge comments, which I just log in and read the comments on the website anyway. I really enjoyed the week, loved all the pics everyone posted. Maybe I will win a Vitamix one day that also has the option for the food processor bowl. I would love to get rid of my old food processor! I’m hoping you will do a soup challenge, which would be a great winter challenge as I eat more soup in the winter as a warm up. Thanks for a great week!

I join the challenge because I like trying the different recipes. I like doing challenges. I notice that I make better eating choices. I am proud that I was able to do all of the smoothies. I would not change anything.

Haven’t sat down to Fully evaluate yet. Recipes were a Great jumping off point. I was trying for daily consistency of making drinks. Now I need to see where they fit in my day. Started out assuming breakfast now wonder if maybe dinner time+. Also if need to regularly size up & freeze when making. Appreciated seeing other people’s adds.

Delicious!

I have done challenges before but enjoyed this one the best. I liked that this challenge was on an app because I don’t do FB! I am proud that both my husband and I completed all seven days ( he wasn’t officially in the challenge but sure did benefit). I wouldn’t change a thing!

I’m so impressed with the extensive catalog of recipes and with Jen’s detailed daily email. There’s clearly so much love, attention, and hard work here! I’m a dedicated smoothie maker, but I’m always looking for new flavors.

I am always trying to improve my health and I think I should feel more energetic for my age than I do at times! So I wanted to do a group smoothie challenge. Also Jen’s journey encouraged me to find that energy! If she can, why can’t I? The recipes were good and all the sub options were nice too. I want to try her other recipes too. I am glad I was able to have smoothies each day and I do think they help you get nutrition in that I otherwise wouldn’t have. They also replace a typical carb type meal (breakfast) and replaced it with protein, greens and fruit (yes still some carb but not grain carbs). I think starting a day with a smoothie is a great way to have a day filled with healthier choices! I seem to feel better starting my days with smoothies!! I don’t think I would change anything about the challenge!

The New Year Smoothie Challenge is perfect for anyone with New Year’s Resolutions! Keeps the motivation and fuels the body with healthy and immunity boosting nutrients! It’s actually perfect anytime with the delicious flavors and bountiful colors in the ingredients! I love doing the Challenge according to the recipes knowing I can add protein boosters for a meal replacement the next time I make them! Thank you Simple Green Smoothies for keeping me on track and nourishing my body to RAWK!

I make smoothies several times a week and always use the same few ingredients. I joined the challenge for something different to do. I ended up learning so much while having fun! My go to list of ingredients has expanded considerably, and the Jen taught me how to put it all together with maximum benefits and yumminess. I really enjoyed the camaraderie with the other group members too. I can’t wait to do more challenges!

I joined because I just bought a Vitamix and needed some ideas of what to make in it. I loved the idea of this challenge, however the weather was super cold with a wind chill of like -20 below 0, needless to say, I made more comfort food than cold smoothies this past week. I did try one and it was delicious! Please consider doing a smoothie challenge to start off the Summer when I’d be more apt to want to drink a cold smoothie. Thank you for all of your hard work and Best of Luck to you!
