Smoothie Challenge

The smoothies were delicious, and I felt lighter while enjoying them throughout the challenge. I plan to keep these in my weekly routine, along with any new ones you share.

Thank you so much for helping me incorporate small, easy changes into my life—they’ve made a real difference.

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.

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 joined to reset my eating habits. It’s hard to eat well at work (I’m a flight attendant) and bringing whole-food smoothies with me on the road helps me know I can have at least a few servings of fresh fruit/veggies per day. A couple recipes took me out of my comfort zone but I made the ones I was “afraid of” as-written and they weren’t bad! I’m glad I took part.

I joined to start a new habit to get more fruits and vegetables in my diet.I loved the recipes, I never used to like smoothies but since I started using the simple green smoothie recipes I have changed my mind. I feel I am eating healthier now, not craving unhealthy snacks.I am proud that I completed the challenge and plan to make a smoothie daily from now on. I wouldn’t change a thing about the challenge. I really enjoyed it and looked forward to each days new recipe.

I joined to learn how to make some different kinds of smoothies which still taste good. I liked all the recipes and tried to follow them, so that I would know the base taste. I will add some greens or additional protein powder later on. I noticed the most energy with the Day 6 smoothie. Suggestion for change is to announce the winner on the day after Day 7, so to give people the same amount of time on day 7 as on the other days.

I have done a few other smoothie challenges with Jen and loved them. I was looking for some easy breakfasts (with the addition of protein powder to each smoothie) to get me out the door and have a healthy start to my day. I feel great knowing I have increased my phytonutrient intake and accomplished for sticking with it! 💪🏼 🍓 🍊 🍌 🥬🫐🫚

I joined to “force myself” to try different smoothie recipes (I typically rotate between only two smoothie recipes – Dr. Fuhrman’s “Peachy Green” and a “Beet Detox” I found on the internet). I loved all the recipes in this challenge except the Perfect Lemon one but that could easily be remedied for me by reducing the lemon content. I didn’t expect to feel any different because I already eat very clean but I actually do feel adding the smoothies boosted my energy. I literally feel healthier after this challenge which motivates me to continue to include daily smoothies with an increased variety of healthy ingredients. I really appreciated the healthiness of the recipes in this challenge! I’m proud of myself for making every single recipe as written except for substituting kale for spinach in the Best Green smoothie and for dutifully posting something every day (I rarely post on social media even private forums). The possibility of winning the Vitamix supply of Rewind green powders and Rawk the Year membership really helped to motivate me to post! I also enjoyed reading other people’s posts and looking at their photos. If I changed anything it would be my smoothie photos – they could certainly use some improvement and creativity!
