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

I joined the challenge to learn more ways to make smoothies was in a rut of making the same ones all the time. I did like the recipes and for the ones I didn’t care for much I will just tweek alittle but still use them in the future for the health benefits. I didn’t notice any changes more mindset of eating healthier through out the day:) I feel great and have enjoyed this experience. What I am most proud of would be taking on new flavors that I don’t usually care for~ and learning how to use the social media platform I don’t use that much🤣 What I would change…Humm to host more of these😄 thank-you💖

This was the easiest challenge in that you set us up for success! I doubled every recipe so my kids could participate too— they loved trying the new smoothies (even the green smoothie and the lemon/turmeric one!). No they didn’t love them all —though I did!— but it was a great way to explore different combination of tastes in a fun way. And there was no push back too trying any of them— I love promoting adventure! You got me into smoothies many years ago and I have only recently restarted making them. This challenge has upped my game!

I joined on a whim. I have a vitamix blender and never had great results with making smoothies. I thought maybe if I did the challenge I would probably have better recipes. I can happily say the recipes were leaps and bounds better than what I’ve had before. You made it easy too! By day 3 I was noticing more energy and excellent bowel function ( tmi sorry). I’m glad I kept an open mind and a door opened- healthy food can be delicious! Thank you!

I’ve been making green smoothies for years. During this challenge, I learned new ingredients and combinations. I appreciated the variety of recipes from which to choose.

I have done challenges before but enjoyed this one the best. I liked that this challenge was on an app because I don’t do FB! I am proud that both my husband and I completed all seven days ( he wasn’t officially in the challenge but sure did benefit). I wouldn’t change a thing!

I am always trying to improve my health and I think I should feel more energetic for my age than I do at times! So I wanted to do a group smoothie challenge. Also Jen’s journey encouraged me to find that energy! If she can, why can’t I? The recipes were good and all the sub options were nice too. I want to try her other recipes too. I am glad I was able to have smoothies each day and I do think they help you get nutrition in that I otherwise wouldn’t have. They also replace a typical carb type meal (breakfast) and replaced it with protein, greens and fruit (yes still some carb but not grain carbs). I think starting a day with a smoothie is a great way to have a day filled with healthier choices! I seem to feel better starting my days with smoothies!! I don’t think I would change anything about the challenge!

I’ve been following you since I did a Plant-Based Cleanse with you a few years ago and still go to your cookbook for ideas. I just needed this smoothie challenge for a mini reset as I readjust my diet for LDL and prediabetes concerns. My husband joined me and has also enjoyed the variety of smoothies. 😋 Not much for social media, I follow from the sidelines but just wanted you to know this fan of yours is still here. Here’s to health, happiness, and a Rawksome 2024! 🌴💕

I joined because group planned activities motivate me. I enjoyed all the recipes. I feel really good like I could do anything. I’m proud that I fully participated and completed the challenge because usually I give up before it’s over! I actually would not change anything. I appreciate that you (SGS) did all the work all I had to do was blend and enjoy. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.

The reason I joined was because I was in a smoothie rut. I made the same ones over and over. Your challenge encouraged me to try new ingredients and I am so happy that I did. I feel that each recipe was delicious and I will definitely make them again. I don’t feel you should change anything about this challenge, the recipes were great and the ingredients were were easy to find at the grocery store.

The New Year Smoothie Challenge is perfect for anyone with New Year’s Resolutions! Keeps the motivation and fuels the body with healthy and immunity boosting nutrients! It’s actually perfect anytime with the delicious flavors and bountiful colors in the ingredients! I love doing the Challenge according to the recipes knowing I can add protein boosters for a meal replacement the next time I make them! Thank you Simple Green Smoothies for keeping me on track and nourishing my body to RAWK!

I make smoothies several times a week and always use the same few ingredients. I joined the challenge for something different to do. I ended up learning so much while having fun! My go to list of ingredients has expanded considerably, and the Jen taught me how to put it all together with maximum benefits and yumminess. I really enjoyed the camaraderie with the other group members too. I can’t wait to do more challenges!

I joined because I just bought a Vitamix and needed some ideas of what to make in it. I loved the idea of this challenge, however the weather was super cold with a wind chill of like -20 below 0, needless to say, I made more comfort food than cold smoothies this past week. I did try one and it was delicious! Please consider doing a smoothie challenge to start off the Summer when I’d be more apt to want to drink a cold smoothie. Thank you for all of your hard work and Best of Luck to you!

I have been trying to join annually but my finances are strained! I do take part in the challenges, when I can, I will join annually. For the time being, I enjoy what I am learning along the way.
