I loved Day 10’s Chocolate Protein Shake, because it was very rich, had a great chocolate flavor and if I didn’t know the ingredients, would have thought it was a regular chocolate shake. I added some spinach and ice and everything blended up smoothly. What a great way to start my day and end the smoothie challenge!

Spectacular Summer Start

My win is sticking to this challenge and adding in changes little by little as it went. I purchased the smoothie recipe book and the meal recipe books. I got my kids involved in flagging recipes they thought looked good and we added these in throughout the challenge. We also added in daily bike rides or walks (which got put on hold over a particularly rainy weekend but their excitement with trying new things and being active is what has encouraged me to continue. In addition the fact that 99% of the recipes we have tried have been a success and actually tasted GOOD has made it easy to make these changes feel successful and keep going! I genuinely appreciate the wealth of information in your recipes the modification suggestions and the fact that your recipes are delicious! My favorite recipe from the challenge was actually today’s chocolate smoothie. I didn’t think I would care for each; I figured it would likely be bitter. Not at all! I used honey in mine and it the perfect amount of sweet with the banana. It was more of a yummy dessert than anything else! Thank you for the spectacular start to our summer!

Delicious smoothies

This challenge helped me prep a healthy breakfast everyday! Sometimes it’s quick throwing things together when pressed for time, but this pushed me to make time (and it ended up being easier than I expected). I loved the Avocado Banana and the Cinnamon Date smoothies. The avocado was super creamy (and a green smoothie!) and the cinnamon date was a sweet treat that reminded me of overnight oats, which I love. Thanks for a great challenge!

These have been my favorite 10 days. I loved all the smoothies! So glad you saved the chocolate for the last day. I think that smoothie was my favorite.

It was OK

Some of the smoothies were really interesting and tasty…the Orange Julius one was yummy. I didn’t really care for the watermelon smoothie, which should be classified as a juice, and I wasn’t into the popsicles…sorry! I don’t really like adding protein powder, either, so it was a let down that so many of the smoothies needed that ingredient to be thick and creamy.

The Watermelon Smoothie and Blueberry Spinach Smoothie were some of the best smoothies I have ever tried, and the Chocolate Protein Shake is the best chocolate shake I have ever had!

Summer Smoothie Sipper

smoothie challenge is the perfect for going outside your box and trying new, healthy and refreshing smoothies. Can’t wait to try the blueberry spinach again with milk, like the website instead of water, like the challenge. Started every day with healthy outlook! Thank you

Found a new favorite

The challenge encouraged me to try new recipes. And I found a new favorite – “Summer Watermelon Smoothie” (more of a slushie). It was, and has been, hot and humid. This recipe was perfect and hit the spot. Super hydrating and wonderfully refreshing.

Colourful

A new Vita-mix blender would be great. It’s hard to pick a favourite because they’re all great. Healthy and wholesome.

First Time Challenge Participant – started at the top! Hooked on excellent smoothie recipes.

Watermelon smoothie is my winner! So very refreshing for hot summer days. But several keeper recipes to be used often. I loved this challenge… my first ever but I’m thinking it will be hard to top these smoothie recipes.

A very delicious challenge

When I join one of Jen’s challenges I’m totally committed. I stick to the recipes although I know there is an ingredient I don’t like. She pushes me to try new things. In this challenge there were many recipes that made it on my favorite list, and none I didn’t like at all. My absolute wins and highlights were the chocolate protein shake and the cinnamon date smoothie. They are like desserts for me, a sweet treat for the soul. I never would have thought of such combinations. Thank you simple green smoothies for another delicious challenge

Life of smoothie goodness!

I loved them all but I must say the watermelon smoothie was awesome. My favorite recipe is blueberry spinach smoothie but with kale and protein boost. I love kale in my smoothies it makes it creamier and richer I alway add collagen and your protein booster sometimes chia seeds too. This fills me up through the mid afternoon!! I feel much better since I started and healthier!!! Thank You!!!
