Free Smoothie Challenge

Taking the opportunity to complete the smoothie challenge is a nice reset from my normal daily routine. The smoothie recipes shared are easy to make with available ingredients. I enjoyed trying new combinations of fruits veggies and liquids for the base ingredients. I look forward to the next challenge as each one has a new favorite blend. 😋

The best part of starting off the year with a Smoothie Challenge is the color. January can be cold and grey but don’t let it get you down! We can spruce it up with a rainbow of fresh ingredients! This challenge is great to expand your standard habits. On my own I tend to start with a strong base of frozen mango and all my smoothies turn out sweet and yellow – but this smoothie challenge had my trying all kinds of new ingredients tastes and colors. Never hurts to blend some mango!

I am part of a fitness challenge group with women who like to encourage one another to eat healthy and exercise daily. So a bunch of us signed up for the smoothie challenge together. It was a lot of fun we would make the smoothies some pictures to one another and write our opinions of each one. My favorite ones were the beginners luck and the perfect lemon smoothie. The beginners luck it’s very similar to a green smoothie I like to make regularly. The perfect lemon was a very new flavor combination and I absolutely loved it! We called it the vitamin C smoothie at home. My only feedback is that I found all the smoothies needed more liquid otherwise they were more like slushy‘s. My friends agreed and we all started to alter the recipe with more liquid added! I would love to win the new vita mix because mine broke during the smoothie challenge sadly a 10 year old vita mix blender finally breathed its last breath.

A wonderful challenge that has helped me make better choices for a fresh new start for the new year!

Had fun with smoothie challenge! Not totally new to world of smoothies but wasn’t making them daily or including them in meal planning. Loved the lemon one as it was most original and new to me and the peanut butter chocolate one as it is totally delicious as snack. Overall, would like more veggies included in the recipes as my reason for smoothies is healthier eating.

I have been making smoothies for years, but got lazy or something and quit making them. Joining your challenge has revived my love of them and really enjoyed the new recipes from the book. Thank you!

I really enjoyed all the smoothies and having a grocery list made it so much easier. It was a great collection of smoothies and each recipe will definitely be put on breakfast rotation Thanks for creating this great challenge, look forward to the next one Mary Anne O

I like the Smoothie Challenge because it gives your body a chance to intake some of the things it needs. I loved that the was a pre-workout Smoothie, and a meal replacement shake. I’m going to use these recipes over and over again. Also, the ingredients were things that your whole family would love. My kids were drinking the smoothies with me so I doubled up on the ingredients. I even told my mom about the challenges and had her to try them. I saw the book on Amazon and plan on ordering it since I have been a fan of Simple Green Smoothies for a while.

I normally do not like bananas, but did add them to my smoothie recipes. They really tasted good and did not mind the banana taste at all. This challenge helped to make better daily beverage and food choices. I will definitely be continuing and I even watched the video on how to prep your smoothies. I am definitely going to prep some and having them ready to go.

I’m happy that I joined this challenge. Before this, I had been making the exact same smoothie and it got boring. I wanted to try different fruits and add ins, but didn’t know where to start. As a bonus, my toddler really likes sharing the smoothies with me; the blueberry smoothies is the only way so far that she’ll eat them!

Loved this challenge. New recipes, tips and tricks from others. My favorite part was my 12 year old running in the door after school yelling “what’s todays smoothie!” Even my husband was on board. I will definitely keep these new recipes in rotation!

This has been fun learning new recipes to add to my daily routine. I have enjoyed the chocolate smoothies as a way to change up from my regular berries and banana smoothies that I have on a regular basis. I usually don’t follow recipes and throw in whatever fruit is available. This has been good to find tasty ways of what mixes well together!

This has been so fun. I have made smoothies for 25+ years daily (just love them and they are quick, easy and nutritious) but realized I have been stuck drinking the same ones for quite a while. This challenge gave me a whole new perspective on possible options and how to mix them together. The taste of each of the smoothies has been amazing–loved all of them. And, because they are so good, I made a couple of them twice, one for breakfast and one for lunch. I just enjoyed making my smoothies everyday (again). Thank you for that.

I was pleasantly surprised that the challenge had smoothies without greens. (Even though I added them to a few.) I liked every smoothie. Some more so than others. I purchased the “10 -Day Challenge” book that has all the challenges for the year. I loved having the challenge in book form. I will be doing the challenge again. These were great smoothies. My favorite smoothie was Peanut Butter Chocolate Smoothie, and my least favorite was perfect Lemon Smoothie. I was excited to learn about putting frozen cauliflower in the smoothie. Made it very smooth. And putting frozen carrots in a smoothie was surprisingly very good. I loved this challenge. Looking forward to the salad challenge in the spring. Happy blending.

The smoothie challenge was a great jumping off point to get me back into the swing of green smoothies! I did prefer the smoothies in the first half of the challenge over the ones in the second half, but I have to say that the second half of smoothies really opened my eyes to the possibilities that are available. The Beginner’s Luck Smoothie was my all time favorite of the 10, but The Creamy Banana Smoothie was a close second! Beginner’s Luck makes me “feel healthy”, this smoothie is packed with spinach and fruits that blend so well together, you’ll forget that it’s good for you. But the Creamy Banana Smoothie, hits the spot in a different way! The creaminess of the cashew yogurt adds a layer that I wasn’t expecting. I am so glad that I completed this quick challenge; I’m now ready to keep blending away in the morning and trying smoothies I didn’t think we’re possible. I even got my husband in on this round! Now we’re two peas in a Rawkstar pod 🙂
