10-Day Smoothie Reset

Wow! This green smoothie challenge was very different from the previous ones I’ve done in the past. I’ve always made my smoothies with greens. Not all of these recipes had greens! While most of them were on the sweet side we did have savory make an appearance. For these smoothies I was blending ingredients I never would have thought to put into the blender (I’m looking at you cauliflower!). But also I made wonderful smoothies with carrots ginger lemon and tumeric. And cinnamon was such a game changer! I definitely learned variety is the spice of life! I am terrible at picking favorites. With the exception of one most of the smoothies were superb. Before I reveal the winning smoothie of the challenge I must give an honorable mention to the Tumeric Honey Smoothie. It was quite out-of-the-box. At first I didn’t know what to make of it due to it’s bold flavor profile. It did have some texture but from the beginning to end of each sip my mouth was on an adventure experiencing a myriad of flavors. And today I find myself craving it. In my humble opinion my favorite smoothie of the challege was definitely the Creamy Banana Smoothie. What can I say I love sweet! It was so delightfully creamy thick and cold. I couldn’t believe how filling it was! It was a well-balanced smoothie. I did not find the bananas overpowering at all. But then again I kind of love bananas. It was such a deliciously healthy treat! I would make it again and again!

I made all ten smoothies and my favorite was creamy blueberry. The smoothie challenge book provides a great variety of smoothies salads and soups with simple instructions and healthy ingredients. Jen’s smoothie prep idea is a game changer. What a delicious way to get daily healthy nutrients into my body. I’m addicted and can’t wait to make all the recipes.

The best part of starting off the year with a Smoothie Challenge is the color. January can be cold and grey but don’t let it get you down! We can spruce it up with a rainbow of fresh ingredients! This challenge is great to expand your standard habits. On my own I tend to start with a strong base of frozen mango and all my smoothies turn out sweet and yellow – but this smoothie challenge had my trying all kinds of new ingredients tastes and colors. Never hurts to blend some mango!

A wonderful challenge that has helped me make better choices for a fresh new start for the new year!

I LOVED how easy this challenge was for me! I enjoyed all the recipes, they were easy to make, and gave me a boost mid-morning when I needed it. Thanks for putting this challenge together! 🙂 Erin

I loved the challenge and can’t wait to start doing daily smoothies . For me, I committed to the challenge and using the ingredients that were in each recipe so I would try something new. This gave me a wider range of good foods to fuel my body. I enjoyed all the recipes, maybe a couple would have a few tweaks but I’d make them all again. Probably the biggest thing I learned.. I’ve had so much more energy! You wouldn’t think you’d notice the difference so early on but it really does happen. Thanks Jen and Team for a wonderful challenge- and I’ll continue every day!

I enjoyed all the recipes. It helped me to focus on a healthy new beginning! Thank you so much for these challenges.

I loved this challenge because it challenged me in using veggies and spices that I do not normally use. I enjoyed the smoothies some more than others but overall love the outcome. I feel less sluggish and even feel lighter! I even purchased the 30 day challenge and order the cookbook so I will be definitely continuing in drinking smoothies on a daily!

I enjoyed very much your smoothie challenge. Who knew you could drink a salad? Even though some of the smoothies didn’t have greens, I added them anyway. Why not! Thanks for the recipes. I’m going to be bleeding green 😄

I thought all the smoothies were delicious andI found them to be filling. My favor one was the Perfect Lemon Smoothie. The though of a smoothie made with lemons turned me stomach thinking it would be bitter tasting but after my first sip , I was hooked I also felt each smoothie left my body a little healthier

I’m happy that I joined this challenge. Before this, I had been making the exact same smoothie and it got boring. I wanted to try different fruits and add ins, but didn’t know where to start. As a bonus, my toddler really likes sharing the smoothies with me; the blueberry smoothies is the only way so far that she’ll eat them!

What a nice challenge to be apart of, and to help kick start a new healthy routine! I loved how we were given differed smoothie recipes to help keep things exciting, and to introduce me to new flavor combos & ingredients to incorporate incorporate into my daily smoothies. Can’t wait for the next challenge!

This challenge is easy, fun and nutritious. The team spirit is always inspiring and keeps me accountable. Starting the day with a smoothie sets the tone for the day. I feel more equipped to eat healthier throughout the day. My favorite smoothie was the Lemon Peach Smoothie. It is a zesty palate cleanser, and very different from other smoothies that I have been making. I’d say it would also be perfect as an afternoon pick me up or after a heavy meal and not just in the morning. Give it a try if you haven’t as yet!

Overall, I loved it! I completed another smoothie challenge last year, and I enjoyed all the smoothies I got to try, so I was excited to try another. I liked that there were similar ones to the last challenge, but I also enjoyed experimenting with new flavors. Some had flavor combinations I would not have tried before, so it was interesting! I liked that some were fruity while others were more of a dessert type smoothie. It was a good mix, and it was a nice part of my routine in the mornings to try a new smoothie. I’m excited to make some of them again as part of a regular breakfast! Looking forward to the next challenge!

This challenge went by way too fast! I am eating gluten free and have been struggling with breakfast ideas. Each of the smoothie recipes were gluten free and delicious. I now have go to ideas/recipes that will really make a difference in how I enjoy the most important meal of the day. What sticks out in my mind with the challenge is the ease and flexibility of the recipes. I keep a well stocked pantry and yet there were a couple of items I didn’t have. I substituted the ingredients I had on hand and each smoothie turned out beautifully. I also like the way the recipes were designed, I could tweak them to my own taste, I am an experiential and need to enjoy and engage in the process. This included buying the ingredients, making the smoothie, and finally consuming it. This was a fun process and each step kept me interested. I am looking forward to this spring and summer when I can harvest the greens I grow. The idea of knowing where my food comes from and how it is grown is important to me. I want to eat cleanly and using my home grown spinach in smoothies . Now I can do that with delicious smoothie recipes, thanks!
