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 the smoothie challenge to be able to be more consistent with making smoothies. I do plan on continuing to make smoothies on the daily now. I’ve always just made them on occasion for myself & family. I’m proud that I actually stuck with it the whole week. I noticed on day 2 or 3 that I wasn’t as hungry throughout the day & when I did want to snack I made better choices. I really liked all of these recipes that we made. The honey turmeric recipe is one that we like better juiced. I liked how each smoothie has different health benefits to incorporate into your journey or lifestyle changes towards better health & wellness. I am so grateful to have stumbled onto this challenge. I appreciate all the hard work that Jen Hansard has done! Thank you!!

I loved the challenge! The daily recipes get me out of my normal smoothie routine. I really had fun trying the new recipes taking pictures and being introduced to some new smoothie ingredients. I feel good and I slept better this week which in itself is a big win! Many thanks to the Simple Green Smoothie team!!!!! This challenge RAWKED.

I’m a creature of habit and tend to make and eat the same things. This got me to change things up and try some new combinations which I really enjoyed! I even shared my experience with a friend who would like to join the next challenge!

I joined to try new smoothie ideas. I enjoyed every one of the recipes. I always like experimenting with food. And always fun to do it with other folks. I have no suggestions for change. You did a great job with this challenge. Thanks so much for all your efforts Jen!

I joined this challenge because I want to learn to take better care of myself—mentally and physically. I usually have trouble with sticking to something unless I have a plan. This challenge presented itself at the perfect time! I loved (almost) all of the smoothie recipes—need to give the Honey Turmeric one another try. I noticed that I made better food choices after drinking my morning smoothie and am looking forward to building a better ‘me’ in 2024—one smoothie at a time! Thank you Jen for hosting this challenge!

I wanted to try new smoothies…I liked 6 out of 7 of them I want to win a new blender!!! Here I am taking a cat nap in the sunshine…too cold to go outside!!!

I wanted to see what these smoothies were all about! Yes I liked the recipes. They were pretty easy. I was surprised how filling they truly are.

I joined because I have traveled this road for quite some time; I Love how I feel incorporating smoothies in my life!

I joined because I love simple green smoothies challenges that she does. I also had gotten out of the habit of making a smoothie everyday and this challenge was a great way for me to start making them again. I loved trying all the recipes and will be making some of them again. This challenge has made me feel great..more energy and not wanting any sugary stuff. I am proud of myself for getting up every morning and making a smoothie even though it has been freezing cold here. I wouldn’t change anything with this challenge and look forward to doing another one!!!

My wife is going through chemotherapy and at times a smoothie is more palatable. I wanted some ideas to make a variety of drinks. Let’s do it again!

I enjoy the smoothie challenge and have joined several times now. I love how the recipes help me introduce new foods that I might not try and teaches me how to create smoothies. This year was the best year for me I made few modifications to the recipes – except always adding spinach. I’m going to use more turmeric and ginger in my life and continue with vegetables. I haven’t purchased any of the deals mostly because I’m wintering away from my regular home and can’t transport back extra stuff.

I always love to find new smoothie recipes. I did not deviate from the recipe as posted but, going forward I can adjust them for my taste. It was really nice to meet other smoothie lovers and the community was very welcoming and friendly.
