I am a changed person!

This is my first ever smoothie challenge and I must say, it changed me. I loved the variety of recipes and will keep them to use over and over. I struggled because I didn’t know what to do. This challenge gave me the power of knowledge. I believe Jen saved my favorite till last. Todays Chocolate Protein Shake was wonderful. I did not know what a medjool date was, now I do… Thanks Jen!

IT CAN BE DONE!

I started this challenge in hopes to encourage my sister and I to continue our weight loss journey. My sister had never done anything like this. We both survived. We both feel great. We both lost weight and we both can see that we can do anything we set our heart and mind too. The recipes taste delicious. Make it work for you so you can succeed. IT CAN BE DONE!

Mixing it Up!

Wow! This has been great. Awesome way to try out new flavor combinations and try out my new blender also. The old blender went up north for camping and I was able to do days 2-5 while camping. I really feel great and feel like this was an awesome way to do a final prep for my Half Marathon on Saturday. Really loved the Cinnamon Date smoothie but have to admit I liked Orange Julius a lot also. Hope to do another challenge soon!

Not your Average Smoothie

It is so hard to pick one favorite smoothie recipe from the past 10 days. Each recipe had its own unique flavors that can easily be adjusted with extra ingredients. I had 2 smoothie recipes that stood out the most, the Strawberry Smoothie (I used slivered almonds and oat milk), it reminded me of my childhood when we would get strawberry milkshakes! The other is the Cinnamon Date Smoothie, I have never had dates this way it was so good and so creamy!, I think I will add an extra date next time! I froze my dates and they blended nice and smooth! So happy to have found this challenge from a Vacation Races post! The smoothies are great for after run nutrition. I will be making these all summer! Can’t wait for your next challenge!!

Challenge accepted and completed!

My favorite smoothie recipe was the Orange Julius. It was creamy but light with just the right amount of sweetness. The spinach gave it a bright green color which I don’t often get with my own recipes, lol. I really loved doing this challenge! It was great to try a new smoothie each day and see other people enjoying them along with me in the Support group. As an additional win, I lost 5 pounds! I plan to keep the habit up and have a smoothie every day.

These challenges are so beneficial! LOVE!

The ten day challenges are awesome to help you to preview the concept of green smoothies. Get to know the social media groups and get your feet wet. For veteran simple green smoothie lovers it’s a great way to connect with new people and support them. We actually love to help out! We get ideas from them and try some new smoothies too! These challenges are amazing and so beneficial! Thanks Jen!

Feelin’ refreshed and restored!!

This smoothie challenge was so fun and helped expand my horizon on smoothie recipes. I feel so refreshed and am so excited I have new favorite smoothie recipes on hand that give my body the nutrients it needs! Although all of the recipes were absolutely delicious, my fav recipe would be the chocolate protein shake! Not only was it so tasty but it was filling was well! (Also because I’m a sucker for chocolate and peanut butter)

Smoothing into Summer!

Loved trying all the smoothie variations just in time for warm weather! I think my favorite was the cinnamon date/oat because it tasted like Mexican Horchata and a cinnamon roll. Never would have thought of adding oats to a smoothie. Of course always used the Simple Green Smoothie Boost. The best! Very fun and enjoyed seeing all the creations! Fuel for power walks!! 👟👟🌳🍓🍉🍌🍍🥑🥬🥥🍒🍈🥤🍹

Fun and delicious

The challenge couldn’t have come at a better time. The weather has been in the 90s so a cold smoothie hit the spot! I feel less bloated. The watermelon smoothie was one of my favorites. It was so refreshing and simple to make.

Rawk On!!

Favorite Smoothie: avocado banana (day 1). Creamy & delicious!!! I’ve been a smoothie drinker for a long time but I often find myself in a rut with my recipes which leads to boredom which results in taking a break from smoothies. I love the recipes in this challenge they really mixed things up for me & even introduced me to some new flavors I likely would not have tried on my own. Bonus! The watermelon strawberry popsicles are the tastiest post run treat!

A great smoothie to end a challenge! This smoothie is the perfect fix when the chocolate cravings hit. I add extra dates to boost the sweetness.
