Feel good kind of challenge!

I can’t rave enough about how much less bloated I feel and energized. The freshness of Pineapple and Mint smoothie won me over. Can’t wait to keep going!

It takes a village.

Chocolate in the morning, chocolate in the evening, chocolate at supper time.🎵. My favorite??? Day 10’s Chocolate Protein Shake. No need to explain why…..Lol. I love these challenges because they keep me from slipping back to my old way of eating. I still struggle from time to time but SGS and the community help me stay accountable and on track. Thank You SGS and Friends!

Simple ingredients, incredible tastes!

Actually having something nutritious for breakfast instead of just toast is a huge win for me. I have had more energy and clarity. My favorite recipe is hard to narrow down. I really loved the Pineapple Mint. The fresh mint really popped!

Biggest win for me was doing all ten days of the challenge, have tried some of the other challenges and would miss one or two days for various reasons but not this time. Enjoyed all the smoothie and there isn’t one I would not do again. Thank to everyone and I look forward to trying and completing future challenges.

Spectacular Summer Smoothies

I loved the chocolate protein smoothie. It was different from other smoothies I make. It was so decadent and creamy. Felt like I was drinking a yummy chocolate shake but so much better for me. I loved getting all the new recipes and the group challenged and motivated me.

Ultimate Smoothies

I’ve been starting my mornings with smoothies ever since I took the last smoothie challenge. It’s always fun to change and try new recipes as I get stuck making the same ones. Thank you again Jen! I’m going to start to use more avocados in my smoothies. I loved most all but the Avocado Banana, Pineapple Mint, and Orange Julius were my favorites.

Easy and Fun

My favorite recipe was the Orange Julius recipe. It tasted just like what I remember and was so easy to make! Overall, I loved this challenge as I learned new recipes and found out how easy it is to take care of yourself and your body with real food.

Let the summer begin!

What a great way to kick-start summer!! These summer style smoothies really made me smile, carrying me through the day – especially the watermelon smoothie! I never had a smoothie with watermelon in it before and now I am hooked – it’s vacation in a glass:) I felt like I was on a tropical Island when drinking it, and it was also the first day of a long awaited vacation. Winning!!

Chocolate protein smoothie – chocolate need I say more? Plus the protein powder boost makes it a delicious quick meal.

Perfect Summer Choice

I love the watermelon smoothie but I think they are all great choices. Especially for this time of year when you are looking to make lighter choices. Perfect way to start the summer.

Fruitilicious…10 days to your juicier self!

To green or not to green, that is the question. I was surprisingly delighted with the pineapple mint smoothie. I have a slight quirk of not being able to drink green…I feel it should be eaten. This smoothie though, wow! The inclusion of refreshing mint, tropical pineapple and coconut water, and KALE (yes, I said it!), was not only a boost of well needed nutrients, it was refreshing, and tasted phenomenal! This one is definitely a keeper and will be implemented several times a week in my meal plan.

Flavorful challenge

The best thing about the challenge was all the different flavors! I probably liked the pineapple mint smoothie best because it was not a combination I would typically make. Fun challenge and a way to sneak in more fruits and vegetables!

Fun, Flavorful

I LOVE chocolate! So of course the Chocolate Protein Shake is my favorite! Awesome idea to add cauliflower! I love getting some healthy cruciferous veg in it that nobody can even notice is in there. I added almond butter to the blender as well. Then at the end lightly pulsed in some cacao nibs. Delish!!
