Smoothie Challenge

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 !

Always looking for ways to improve my daily smoothies.

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

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!

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 joined this challenge because I wanted to try some simple yet tried and true new recipes. I liked every single one!! I can’t say I noticed much physical/mental change as I was already in an almost daily smoothie habit. But I was so happy to try these new recipes and get out of my “rut”!

I joined this challenge to get back to eating clean. Returning to the habit of a starting my day with a smoothie has helped me do that. I eat better all day and have more energy! I’m looking forward to doing a Plant-Based Cleanse next! Thank you for sponsoring this challenge and reminding me to take a small step each day to be a healthier version of myself!

I joined this challenge to reset my breakfast program with healthy options post the holiday. The recipes were very different each day and offered variety in taste and health benefits. I noticed fewer sugar cravings more energy and definitely little to no bloating during the challenge. I even list 2.3lbs! I’m really proud of myself for sticking with this program and participating fully each day in the community. I’d love to see a longer challenge or option to continue with perhaps another 6 days of recipes as I don’t want this to end! I’m super grateful. This has restored my confidence in knowing I do have discipline to complete a challenge! Bonus was the low cost of food for this challenge: less than $40 USD for a weeks worth of smoothie ingredients with food to spare! Can’t beat the economics of this program.

I needed a way to jump start a more healthy eating routine. This was the way to go. I found the recipes easy to make and delicious. This process is helping me control my cravings and eat much healthier food. I am a Rawk star member and find the menus grocery lists and recipes a fantastic tool. My favorite find in this challenge was the chocolate peanut butter smoothie. It filled me up and satisfied my nasty chocolate craving.

I loved this challenge. It really helped me dial in how to make a single serving smoothie with great taste and great texture. In the past I have struggled with too many ingredients resulting in too many calories too much to drink flavors not great and some just plain old ugly smoothies. I feel like I now have a good foundation to make some tasty smoothies. I also like reading about other participants experience. I loved all the “food stylists” photographs. Jen’s approach of “perfection isn’t the goal” makes you really feel like you can do this! I highly recommend and look forward to participating in any future challenges.

I love the challenges because it motivates me to try new recipes and flavors. I also enjoy reading everyone else’s comments and learn lots. Every recipe was wonderful. It’s amazing how many different flavors there are. I wouldn’t change anything.

I’m a little behind and will be doing my smoothies this week. 🤪 Is there still time for me to do a 14 day free trial of Rawk the Year?

I joined for the accountability and to jumpstart some better food choices in the new year. I loved most of the recipes along with the support comments and suggestions from Jen and others. I’m going to need to continue a bit longer for real changes and results. I’m proud of something that has nothing to do with the actual recipes or the challenge itself. Full disclosure I’m cell phone challenged and I managed to photograph and post the pics every single day. (Somedays I forgot to include ‘#challenge’) But I did it. Jen you and your team have done a great job and I have no ideas for improvement. You guys nailed it! Thank you.

I joined this challenge because I wanted to start the year off on a healthy path. I wanted to fuel my body with more raw foods and wasn’t sure where to begin. This challenge was so helpful giving me ideas and getting support from community with similar goals. I find myself snacking less and have more energy. I had never done a challenge before and felt very brave jumping in. 🙂 I am so glad I made the commitment and now I have no fear of cauliflower.

I really have enjoyed this, thank you. I have noticed I’ve had more energy and a great mood all week. I bought the reburbished Vitamix because I’ve been wanting to swap my existing for the model that has the accessories, so I’m SUPER happy about that, thank you! I plan to swap my daily protein shakes for daily smoothies with the unflavored protein powder. What an upgrade for 2014!

I’ve done a few of the smoothie challenges, and I always love the incentive/accountability to encourage me to make a smoothie every day! The recipes were a bit banana-heavy this time, but I’m sure the time of year contributes to that. I still enjoy knowing there is a specific smoothie to make every day. And I love how it somehow it makes me want to eat healthier the rest of the day! It just FEELS good! The only change I would request is a measurement of the ginger in tablespoons or teaspoons, since they come in so many shapes. It would make it easier to adjust based on how much someone likes the flavor it gives. Thanks so much for doing this again, it has been super fun to do!!

I really loved the challenge. I enjoyed trying the new flavors. I looked forward to seeing pictures of other people enjoying the smoothies. I wouldn’t change anything. I liked the challenge just the way it is. Thanks for all the new, great ideas for making healthy, tasty smoothies.
