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 !

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!

It was great. Made smoothies I never made before and by making them my daughter got interested and made her own.

I loved this challenge! I have done of few of these and this is by far the most user friendly challenge I’ve ever done. It was so much fun to try new smoothies and gave me great ideas to keep making my own. This challenge was so thought out that I really don’t have any suggestions besides maybe a Support group would be easier to use than a website. But the website was pretty simple once I figured it out. I’m proud of myself for sticking with this the whole time. I also think I will continue to prep my smoothie in advance because it makes thing so much easier (especially since I get up at 4 am and don’t have much brain power that early). Thank you so much!

Vitamix included a link to this challenge in one of their newsletters. I expected a new recipe every day and nothing more but it was much much more than that: Zoom intro to the challenge motivation to begin the challenge and stick with it every day access to a grocery list and all the recipes way in advance so participants had plenty of time to get all the ingredients they would need and daily newsletters to introduce each day’s smoothie with photo links to similar recipes and the incentive to write daily reviews and post a photo. Breakfast is my least favorite meal of the day so I usually have a healthy smoothie. I joined the challenge because I wanted variety. I was in a rut with the same one every day with very little variation and that usually occurred when I was out of something I always used. I enjoyed them but didn’t want to become bored to the same old same old. The recipes I saw online didn’t look all that inviting. Enter this challenge from a healthy smoothie expert! The challenge has given me the variety I wanted the opportunity to link to other similar recipes that look good and the motivation to add more ingredients from my crisper. There was only one smoothie I didn’t like but the problem was on my end and was not the recipe’s fault. I am pleased that I stuck with the challenge every day. I am full for longer and I no longer have cravings between lunch and dinner. I liked the challenge as it was and have no suggestions to alter it. I would like to do the challenge again next year…and the next and the next.

I joined this challenge to learn what combines well when making healthy smoothies. I’ve always added ice before and hated how they separated and could never get a good consistency. These recipes were so easy and adaptable to adding more greens seeds protein powder etc and still were delicious!!! I also loved the advice of freezing ingredients ahead of time (layered in portions for each smoothie) brilliant way to make it simple!!!! Simple in my life makes sense!!! Thank you so much!!!

I was in a smoothie rut and this challenge made try some new recipes I never would have on my own. I found some I will definitely make again! I am trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into my diet and this is such an easy way to do that. I really feel better after this challenge my body loved the health boost! 😊

I have been on this road with Simple Green Smoothies for quite some time now; that’s why I joined. Plus I love how I feel incorporating smoothies in my life. I feel confident continuing on my journey and am proud of myself for trying new recipes. I would change the challenge to two weeks at the first week of the year. I would also like to say thank you Jen and the team for all that I have learned all of the years that I have been with you. I keep what I have learned and use it continually. You all provide me with the encouragement needed to continue moving forward and making positive changes to be the best me possible. I am forever grateful❤️

Loved it! Great resource for really good recipes and information about the ingredients. I learned a lot.

I joined since I have a green smoothie everyday. I needed some different ideas for combinations of ingredients that complement each other.

I wanted a kickstart for the New Year! I loved the recipes!!! I had great energy all week! I made every smoothie and now am excited to try more!!!

Honestly I didn’t experience any results listed however I wasn’t really expecting to in such a short amount of time. I joined the challenge to try new recipes and to learn a thing or two which I did! it was also really fun to be part of the community this week and see all the smoothie photos of the other participants. I wouldn’t change a thing other than having a short celebration zoom meeting at the end when you announce the winners. After going through the week with the community that would be a nice button to wrap it up.

Love new smoothie recipes. I love using smoothies as a meal replacement. I felt less hungry and more energized all morning. I wish this went all year long.

I loved knowing exactly which recipe was next and also trying new recipes that I would not have thought of on my own!
