☀️ Summer time

Smoothie Challenge Dashboard

During this challenge, you’ll blend a variety of smoothies to boost energy, improve overall health and kick start weight loss. Enjoy a daily smoothie as a meal, snack or post-workout drink— it’s totally up to you. Just start and let the momentum carry you this summer!

Grocery Lists

The grocery list is divided into two separate list to prevent your produce from going bad. We suggest you purchase only what you need for the first five days. There’s nothing enjoyable about opening a bag of rancid spinach—bleh! If you decide to prep ahead, you could buy everything for all ten days and freeze smoothie packs.

Common Questions

When Should I Drink the Smoothie?

It’s completely up to you to decide what time of day to enjoy your smoothie. I prefer to have it in the morning as my breakfast, to start each day with a healthy foundation. You might prefer to have it as an afternoon “pick-me-up” or even as a nourishing dinner.

What Protein Powder Do You Recommend?

Over the years, I’ve tried almost all of the plant-based protein powders (most companies send them to me for free to test out), and I never found one that I absolutely loved. They were filled with sweeteners, gums and artificial flavors or were gritty and gross. So, I decided to make my own recipe using hemp, chia and flaxseeds. You can get my homemade protein powder recipe on the blog and use it throughout the challenge.

Why Do Only Some Recipes Have Spinach?

In this challenge, we’ve included four green smoothies plus six fruit-based smoothies. If you want to get a daily dose of leafy greens in each smoothie, you can add 1 cup of spinach, kale or chard to every challenge recipe. Check out the Leafy Greens Guide to explore all the options and learn more about the health benefits of adding greens to your smoothies.

How Do I Prep Smoothies?

When it comes to prepping, I like to use wide-mouth mason jars. Put the fruit in first and the greens in last. Do NOT add any liquid to your smoothie packs. You’ll add the liquid right before you blend. Check out Meal Prep Smoothies and DIY Frozen Smoothie Packs for more ideas.
