Love these challenges

These challenges always come at the right time in my life, when I’ve fallen off the bandwagon of healthy eating. I appreciate the simplicity and healthiness of the smoothies, and they are ALWAYS delicious!

Healthy Habits Made Simple

I really enjoyed participating in this smoothie challenge. The recipes were easy to follow, used wholesome ingredients, and gave me the confidence to try new flavors and combinations. Adding watermelon and cherries into the smoothies were a refreshing, delicious bonus!

One of the biggest takeaways for me was realizing that healthy eating can be simple, enjoyable, and sustainable. This challenge gave me fresh ideas that I’ll continue using long after it’s over. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, delicious way to incorporate more nutritious foods into their daily routine.

Same ingredients but new inventive tastes

We have smoothies every day but just dump in spinach or fresh fruit with ice. The frozen fruit was so much nicer and tastier. We will go on using the recipes now.

This smoothie challenge was a great way to kick off the summer and provide some healthy recipes that I will continue making throughout.

With the exception of one day, the smoothies were a breakfast replacement. It was a great way to start the day guaranteeing I got some servings of fruit in daily. I never would have used frozen cauliflower in a smoothie ever.

Loved the variety!

My family already loved smoothies and made the regularly, but this challenge gave us so many new ideas and recipes! I found several recipes I will be coming back to and learned new techniques and ingredients to improve any smoothie we make. Highly recommend one of Jen’s challenges no matter your level of experience or comfort with smoothies!

all the info you need to make great smoothies

I have been making smoothies for years and I’m always up for new ideas, which you have in your newsletter and recipes, thank you! Also, you present a very good intro for people who haven’t been making smoothies, you explain it step by step and it’s never too daunting.

I’m developing a smoothie habit!

I really enjoyed the challenge. I always _want_ to make smoothies but often just don’t, and the challenge is helping me to develop a regular habit. Using frozen fruits makes things so quick and easy. All five smoothies were great, but my favorites were Tuesday’s green smoothie (it really surprised me how much I loved it) and Thursday’s mango smoothie, followed by the cherry smoothie. I already went out to get more frozen fruit and spinach to make even more!

NEW ENLIGHTENING RECIPES

I drink smoothies here in Arizona especially in the summer heat!

Been blending for some time and got in a rut. The new ideas and change up of ingredients really enthused me to continue. Very healthy as well.

Good learning experience

I loved learning new combinations of things to put in a smoothie. I never would have thought to put frozen cauliflower in, and I just froze my own. Super easy.
