I liked the recipes. But I’m used to green smoothies so I missed them a little bit.

I have done smoothie challenge before it was 14 days in spring so I wanted to go again to mix up my smoothie recipes the green is my fav & go to but I had been using regular apple juice because I do like more sweet but I did with water like it’s suppose to be & realized I don’t need the sugared juice to enjoy. The tumeric & ginger spices might not be for me but I may try them again with less of the spices.

I joined because I have had your smoothies and they are delicious! I took part in the Plant-Based Cleanse and experienced how good I felt the weight loss and increased energy. So when I saw the New Year Smoothie Challenge I joined right away. In this challenge I tried smoothies I never would imagined I would like but they were surprising very good. I plan on doing this challenge by myself next week to keep it going. I will miss the community discussions because I enjoyed contributing how I modified my recipes as well as reading what other members did too. I made my smoothies later in the morning so I could read others comments and adjust mine accordingly if needed. I appreciate the swaps and substitution ideas since I am not a diary or non-dairy fan. Thank you having this challenge especially since I am focusing on self care and self love this year. Perfect way to start! I would make the Challenge Giveaways more clear. I missed out on this part of the challenge somehow.

I joined to get healthier and lose weight. All the recipes were a perfect balance and nothing wasted. I have more energy and happier overall in just one week. I a proud I was able to do it everyday and completed the challenge. Loved it. I lost some weight already and love the recipes. Only thing I would probably add dates to some of the less sweeter ones until I can completely kick my sugar addiction. I would also make the smoothies all in the morning instead of the evening due to the amount of energy I got from the smoothies.

I joined the smoothie challenge to learn more smoothie recipes and actually implement them. I enjoyed not only having recipes available to us but the extra tips on substitutes and ways to make meal replacement smoothies. I also enjoyed the online community interaction and learned from others as well. The results are incredible. I became more creative and motivated to try new recipes. I feel more energized and my cravings for unhealthy snacks have reduced during this week. I wouldn’t change anything! Thank you so much for this experience.

I’ve been joining challenges for almost a year and I really like the reset and to be more accountable. I also like the flexibility of recipes if you don’t like something just change it up! The community is great to see what others are doing with their recipes. I was able to lose weight and maintain my desired weight without feeling restricted. Recipes are so good and these recipes are wait I choose! Im looking forward to this year and all the great challenges!!

I liked trying all the different recipes. I would prefer no ginger root in the recipes. It is a strong flavor and overpowering to the other ingredients. But some people really like ginger root. I would put it as an optional add in at the bottom of the recipe.

I loved the community support to try new recipes under the mutual goal of reaching towards better health. I appreciate you Jen in sharing your journey to inspire others to keep taking positive steps towards their goals. It helps to have an example of someone whose been successful to follow, yet is still walking the walk herself. I actually woke up today excited to jump out of bed and make the next new recipe before you even sent today’s email. #success Thanks for being a positive trail blazer for others. You Rawk!

I joined to see if there would be a smoothie that I never tried before. The recipes were great. Whenever I drink smoothies, I notice that I eat cleaner plant-based meals. Currently, I feel amazing and am inspired to restart my smoothies a day.

This is my first challenge and I joined because I wanted to learn to make good smoothies. It was fun and I enjoyed trying all the new taste experiences. I was challenged to have new taste experiences. I feel like I now have a healthy “go-to” snack alternative. I also found ways to get in the anti-inflammatory turmeric spice in recipes that taste good. I am proud of myself for trying the challenge and sticking to it. I enjoyed the smoothies so much that I bought Jen Hansard’s book “Simple Green Smoothies”. I am looking forward to trying those smoothies as well!

I joined the challenge to get back on track with my nutrition and I feel amazing! I love all the different recipes and also improvised a lot by adding chia, flax, greens powder, cinnamon. I like to vary the add-ons each day to give a wide range of nutrients for my body. I did notice my joints seem to ache less and am planning on continuing the smoothies! Thank you Jen!!

Love almost all the new smoothies. Easy to assemble. Frozen fruit a new idea for me. I’m not hungry between meals. I’m glad I bought a new blender. I’ve been juicing for years and happy with the recipes from Joe Cross I’ve used. I’m disappointed that instagram was required. I’m an older woman (80 last birthday) and not enthusiastic about new technologies. This seemed the target audience was a decade or more younger than me.

I used to make lots of smoothies but got lax. This challenge got me back into a daily schedule of making smoothies and I enjoyed the entire process as well as the group forum. I learned a lot through the forum as well as all of your informative emails. I certainly feel much more energetic and less bloated. Definitely will continue making my drinks daily and look forward to trying many of your smoothies on RAWK! There was one smoothie that I had a difficult time getting down and that was with ginger. I tried it again with less ginger and actually enjoyed it. Just not a ginger fan but am going to try to acquire a taste for it 🙂 Thank you Jen for all the time and effort you put into staying healthy and passing your knowledge on to all of us!
