10-Day Smoothie Reset

It’s been great way to start the new year off on the right foot! The recipes were flavorful packed with nutrients and it introduced me to new ingredients like Turmeric. To be in community with many folks who are doing the challenge you have a group to ask questions bounce ideas off when you need to exchange ingredients and the great prizes are a bonus too!

I really enjoyed the 2022 Winter Smoothie Challenge! It was fun to see and taste such a variety of colours and flavours. Although I missed the greens at times it was great trying new combinations and seeing people’s different substitutions. Thank you so much to Jen and the Simple Green Smoothies team for your excellent recipes and community!!

All smoothies were so good and tasty but i would say my favorite one was the creamy banana smoothie. I’m very into sweets so it was a healthy alternative to satisfy that craving. After the challenge i feel slimmer, my tummy is flatter and i feel healthy and energetic overall. I would definetly keep making these smoothies and try for new ones in the kitchen! Looking forward to the next challenge!

From Day 1, with the delicious Beginner’s Luck Smoothie, I looked forward to each day’s smoothie. I have made smoothies before this challenge, but usually made the same 2-3 ones. The variety of 10 different smoothies plus ingredients I had not used before added to my playbook and kept me from getting tired of the same ole thing. I loved the turmeric, ginger, chia seeds, cauliflower, and rolled oats which were all new to my smoothies. Adding peanut butter or vanilla protein powder or plain Greek yogurt to smoothies kept me full and these smoothies served as a replacement for lunch. I also added spinach to every smoothie to get more vitamins. My motivation stayed high and I tried other smoothies that I highly recommend-Pina Colada to which I added Dang Coconut Chips, spinach and Plain Greek Yogurt as well as the peanut butter protein powder to the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and Creamy Banana Smoothie. The shopping lists were great and I made 5 smoothies at a time. I found freezing in baggies was much easier to dislodge the contents than from mason jars. A shout out to ALDIS as they have all of the frozen fruit at a rock bottom price.At the end of this Challenge, I feel healthier and lost 3 pounds. I definitely will keep rawking!!!

Breakfast has always been my most challenging healthy meal at home. These smoothies were delicious and I looked forward each day to a new taste and was delighted to have benefits of kale without having to taste it!! My hubby also enjoyed this challenge and will continue to experiment with mixing in new flavors. Thank you for brithening our mornings!

Couldn’t wait till I come home every night after work so I can make a delicious green smoothie. Knowing how good the smoothies for you, I drank them guilt free ( I usually don’t drink anything sweet). Thank you for recipes, thank you for your website, I enjoyed it and feel great!.

I am a chef and a meal coach. I love delivering a challenge by referral to my clients that has been achieved by others before so it allows them to know they are not alone in a smoothie challenge. I like to participate as well-especially for the first time in a new challenge such as yours.Thank you so much for being thorough and your explanation on nutritious ingredients and what to use if you don’t have an ingredient listed. I Appreciate the challenge available through Vitamix. I live by my vitamix !!! I wouldn’t of known about this group otherwise!

I did a smoothie challenge last July and my blender has been pretty idle since. Was glad to be able to get blending again! I enjoyed most of the smoothies during this challenge especially the Epic Almond Smoothie. It was so good! I tried to make each smoothie recipe as written but knew I could modify the recipe to my taste. It was fun to see the participants posting on Facebook with their modifications and suggestions. Doing this challenge reenforces my desire for eating a healthier diet.

I really enjoyed this past 10 days. I got my blender 6 years ago and I joined one of your 30 day challenges and I have been making smoothies ever since but I get in a rut of chia seeds, greens, blueberries, strawberries, water and avocado I like it and it’s easy but I really enjoyed having different flavors. I need to get some containers and do prep so I can have a variety. I definitely will be making some of these smoothies again.

I found some of the smoothies to be excellent, some that I would try again and again. There were a couple that I would modify a little bit. Sometimes the ginger can be a little overpowering but overall it was quite enjoyable.

This challenge pushed me to try new ingredients and to have fun in the process. From blending up combinations I love to those that I would never think to combine, it was so wonderful to try all of these smoothies. I definitely plan on adding a few of these to my growing rotation of smoothies. Can’t wait for the next challenge!

I am now pumped up to continue this journey to include more smoothies everyday regardless of the season! I have had the Simple Green Smoothies Book which I have used lots but not so much in the winter months! By participating in the challenge during our coldest times it has awakened me to realize cold smoothies are still great even though it is cold outside! This challenge also had me use a variety of different products that I wouldn’t have used otherwise and now will continue to use! Thank you so much Jen & Team for organizing this challenge and being such a positive inspiration to help all of us lead a healthy lifestyle! Hope to be able to participate in future challenges with you!

I really enjoyed going on this journey, exploring new taste profiles and exploring the world of non-dairy milk products as well as incorporating nuts into my smoothies. I have been a strictly green smoothie person, usually using water as my liquid base and sticking to the same tried and true recipes. I feel like I stepped out of my smoothie rut and have a new appreciation for using non-dairy products which I never bothered to try. They definitely can enhance the flavor profiles of the smoothies and provide really yummy treats. I also found some new favorites and am excited continue to explore different smoothies as well as enjoying my new favorites.

I thoroughly enjoyed this smoothie challenge. I have owned my vitamix for about two years now and this is the most use it has received! I am thankful just for that! My overall fave was the Beginner Luck’s Smoothie. I make this type of smoothie often. I was super impressed with the water base as I always use a juice base! The Epic Almond, Creamy Banana, and Creamy Blueberry were also among my faves! The creamy smoothies were and will continue to be a great way to incorporate yogurt into my diet! Overall I learned time management and consistency via yummy to my tummy smoothies! I made those for breakfast in the morning before work! Usually I do not have enough time in the morning to make breakfast and often start with an empty stomach until lunch. I made myself wake up earlier to have the time to make the smoothies and still be on time for work! My body was so appreciative for the energy first thing in the morning and it yielded a more positive attitude in the morning! Thank you so much for these 10 recipes and the challenge! I will definitely be repeating all 10 recipes and will even be adding my own touches!

This was my second year doing the SGS smoothie challenge and I loved it even more this time than last. The recipes have been amazing (there’s only one I probably won’t repeat!) and having this plan was a great way to kick off the new year and rebuild healthy habits–habits that I admit had been broken over the last few months! Now that the “challenge” is finished, I’m not stopping. I’m so excited to continue blending every day and to explore even more fun recipes in the app. I really appreciate Jen H. for organizing this and being such an amazing motivator and support system for all of us who joined in the last 10 days. Thanks, Jen!
