!! FUN !!

AVOCADO BANANA – What a great way to start out this challenge! Then: CHOCOLATE on the last day, which also happens to be my birthday! It’s been a FUN 10 days. Thank you

Stretched me in all sorts of ways!

I think my favorite recipe had to be the Pineapple Mint, because it was not only delicious, but because I got the mint from my backyard. I do not encourage ANYONE to plant mint in their backyard, because it takes over your yard like an invasive species! Therefore, getting to use it was its way of paying me back for all my suffering! Besides that, it was so delicious and refreshing, and I’m losing weight on this and it is powering my workouts! This summer heat is such a killer, too, and it helps with that as much as the popsicles do!

We are now “Smoothie” people!

My number one win is that before this challenge I’ve never been able to make a good smoothie. It was so helpful to have a wide variety of recipes using different fruits and vegetables and liquids. Recipes were super easy to follow and were really delicious. I was comfortable with subbing ingredients if there an ingredient in the recipe I didn’t like or didn’t have in the house. Ultimately I was combining new favors and adding spinach to every smoothie and always used SGS smoothie boost and protein peptides. I loved seeing everyone else’s smoothies and getting new ideas from their posts. I searched out this site and this challenge because my husband just had extensive and major Oral surgery. He can only eat liquid food and much for some time.. Neither one of us have ever been smoothie fans and we needed to find a way to provide nutritious liquid meals. This site and this challenge definitely did the trick. I always add spinach to every smoothie and also the SGS protein boost to every smoothie. Trying to bump up the nutritional value. Yay! Good times!

Did somebody say challenge???

smoothie challenge? I’m not sure this was much of a challenge! Everything is delicious and easy. Even better, all of these recipes make my body feel great. I really loved the Tropical Smoothie Bowl. Just a little something different than the basic smoothie and it’s so versatile. I can use whatever I have left in the fridge or freezer. I’m new to Plant Based eating but Jen really has a great approach. Life changing!

2022 Ten Day Smoothie Challenge

This challenge started off with my favorite smoothie of the whole challenge: Avocado Banana! I enjoyed the variety in this challenge – popsicles, smoothie bowls, and smoothies kept it exciting! Overall 5 stars, would participate again!

A smoothie game changer!

My big win from the last ten days was getting a smoothie adaptor for my Vitamix. A smoothie game changer! With that the smoothie challenge expanded how I thought about smoothies and smoothie ingredients – for the win! Chocolate smoothies are always my favorite, but in this challenge I like the Cinnamon Date Smoothie the best. 😀

Lots of new ideas for smoothies

Switching up my breakfast routine was helpful, to think about what would be satisfying.

A delicious smoothie in the morning supports my goal of exercising every day! I loved them all although the Cinnamon Date Smoothie was a yummy treat — delightfully sweet and an explosion of flavors! WOW! Definitely a keeper and will repeat.

Life alternative challenge

Major win is to get husband to eat more fruits and vegetables! Had massive stroke several years ago and messed up taste buds. His favorite was the strawberry with cashews reminded him of childhood ice cream! He would like to continue trying different smoothies which is a huge win for us! I read somewhere you might be doing a fall challenge with soups looking forward to that as well. This truly has been wonderful for us! Mike and Nancy Jones

Summertime Smoothie Challenge

The strawberry/watermelon popsicles were terrific! I haven’t made my own popsicles since my kids were little. This was such a treat, and I was able to enjoy them for so many days after it was introduced to us during the challenge. Thank you for all the wonderful recipes!!

Another challenge conquered!

I’m always up for a challenge, and I was so excited to see the Summer Smoothie Challenge come up! I always start strong at the beginning of the year, taking on the Winter Smoothie Challenge and keeping up the near-daily green smoothie habit for quite a while afterward. Somewhere around April, I seem to get out of the habit of blending daily, and that happened again this year. This summer challenge was the perfect opportunity for me to get back into it, and I can honestly say that I feel SO much better for having a daily smoothie. I’m excited (once again!) to keep it going.
