Free Smoothie Challenge

I loved the challenge! The daily recipes get me out of my normal smoothie routine. I really had fun trying the new recipes taking pictures and being introduced to some new smoothie ingredients. I feel good and I slept better this week which in itself is a big win! Many thanks to the Simple Green Smoothie team!!!!! This challenge RAWKED.

I joined this challenge because I want to learn to take better care of myself—mentally and physically. I usually have trouble with sticking to something unless I have a plan. This challenge presented itself at the perfect time! I loved (almost) all of the smoothie recipes—need to give the Honey Turmeric one another try. I noticed that I made better food choices after drinking my morning smoothie and am looking forward to building a better ‘me’ in 2024—one smoothie at a time! Thank you Jen for hosting this challenge!

I liked the recipes and have always liked sweet fruit based smoothies. I’m proud I stuck with it but sad it’s over. I would love a 2 week smoothie challenge.

I joined because I wanted to challenge myself in devoting time and making improvements to the types I food I consume. It went well although I enjoy smoothies most when I get to do them in the morning. My schedule at this time only allowed me to make them in the morning 3 out of the 6 days and the other 3 I made early or late part of afternoon. The challege made me feel like I was focusing on me and taking care of my health. I feel like I have more energy and that I ate less junk during the day. I will be changing what I consume and buying more plant based foods to increase nutrient content of diet. Loved the anti-inflammatory smoothies, they were refreshing and made me feel at my best the whole day!

I joined to push myself to make daily and try new smoothies. It was nice to give the recipes a try, however only found a couple I truly liked a lot. I think it encourages me to eat healthier and think about my food choices more. No change.

Jen, it was a great week of spending just a little bit of time with you and your community that you have created. What a wonderful experience to get people on track to a healthier new year. Thank you.

This challenge was my kickstart to get back to healthy eating and habits. It was fun and the recipes were delicious.

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 really liked most of the smoothies. The challenge pushed me to try some smoothies that I wouldn’t normally.

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

I needed to get back to making smoothies a regular part of my routine. This also helps me try new and different combinations. I really enjoyed all the recipes and feel like I’m back on track! The seven day duration is great for me, I tend to get distracted with longer challenges.

I tried this 2 ways and enjoyed both of them. First one I followed the instructions. The second one I used fresh strawberries and frozen banana and cauliflower. I liked them both but favored the fresh strawberries over frozen. The drink had a deeper color and more of a strawberry taste. Doing the frozen is certainly less expensive and fruits and vegees keep longer. BOTH WERE GOOD!

Creamy and healthy lunch. Substituted a little avocado for all of the banana.

This was a great way to get back into blending a daily smoothie. I loved the variety, and added greens to a few of the non-green smoothies too. I even blended a few new combos, which this veteran smoothie drinker loves! Thank you so much for all the time and effort the SGS team put into this free challenge, and for the fun!

I have an aversion to pulp, seeds, strings and “things” in fruits, but I love the flavors. I bought my Vitamix and this smoothie challenge was exactly what I needed to try some new things. My freezer is now full of ALL the fruits and I’m now purchasing spinach and kale in bulk (also I may have never eaten a date before)! ;/ My favorite recipe was the strawberry smoothie! I’m just proud of myself because to know me is to know that I DON’T do strawberries (seeds, ick!). But I’m a new person now, and strawberries are my (literal) jam! I don’t know what other craziness may come from this, but it’s going to be great! The smoothie challenge and my Vitamix blender helped get me on my WAY!!
