Free Smoothie Challenge

I am so grateful for this challenge. I was skeptical to do this challenge because I have celiac and many allergies but I decided to take a chance and alter as needed and I’m so glad I did! I have thoroughly enjoyed this challenge and I’m going to continue making a different smoothie every single day. I can’t wait to try different smoothies and different variations of the ones I have already done. My husband didn’t want to do it with me but he ended up having half of the 8 out of 10 smoothies I made! I have also loved the Support group and checking it everyday to see what others are doing. This was a lot of fun and if there are any other challenges like this in the future I wouldn’t hesitate to join. Thank you so much for doing this. As far as being active I haven’t been more active since drinking the smoothies because I’m very active to begin with. However I’m sure the nutrients from the smoothies contributed to me feeling so good. I run everyday and recently started a virtual hike across the Grand Canyon. It’s 280 miles so it will probably take a while but I love being outdoors so I’ll keep hiking until I reach my goal. I actually hiked the Grand Canyon in person once (not that many miles though) and it was amazing! I attached 2 pictures. One of me hiking and one of my husband and me drinking the last smoothie of the challenge…the creamy blueberry smoothie!

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. 😋

I really couldn’t be happier with this smoothie challenge. It motivated me every single morning for the last 10 days to get up and make myself and family a healthy breakfast. I was actually excited to get out of bed and it was the first thing I did every morning. I’m actually sad it’s over but I’m going to keep this routine! I enjoyed the variety of smoothie and some took me out of my comfort zone – which is a really good thing! I loved the creaminess of the banana smoothie and the simpleness of the blueberry smoothie. The one with the honey turmeric and carrots made me feel like my body was getting so many nutrients that it actually motivated me to exercise twice that day lol! It made me want to do better for myself. I’m telling you this challenge is that life-changing! I made a pact to get outside and walk after each smoothie these last 10 days as well! They paired so well together! These last 10 days I have given my kids smoothies put them in my husband’s lunches – my whole family has benefitted from this challenge and I am very very thankful that I participated!

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.

Drinking a smoothie a day was a very easy thing to do for 10 days. It took longer to wash out the blender than it did to gather the ingredients and whip it all up. The variety and colors of all the ingredients were very beautiful and the flavors were amazing. My all time favorite was the Perfect Lemon Smoothie!! So refreshing. That one will stay in my book of repeats for sure. Starting my day with a beautiful smoothie was a great way to change my daily eating habits to include more fruits and vegetables every day. Each smoothie had all fresh and satisfying ingredients. It wasn’t hard at all to drink one each day. My husband even joined me. Plus you gave us all these recipes for free. Thanks for all your work to get these challenges together. I was great!!! Now I just need to fix my lunch and dinner. =) LOL

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 developed COVID symptoms then tested positive around Day 3. I’m so thankful I had fresh clean ingredients to nourish me while I was sick. I am convinced it made my recovery and symptoms better!!

I really enjoyed the various smoothie recipes and the simplicity of the ingredients. I have drank smoothies for quite a while but I really enjoyed all of these recipes. The best part was thatI convinced my husband to join in and he was hooked. I made us a smoothie every night for the next day and he loved them. Just having him enjoy them and start on the road to healthiness was the best part for me. Thanks for your time and effort into all that that you do to make being healthy so tasty and fun!

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 love all things health, nutrition and super foods. My favorite recipe was the honey turmeric smoothie. Yummmmy! Also, Jens list of top superfoods list of 2020 is amazing. It helped me get inspired to try other superfoods I’m not familiar with. What a great resource and all the recipes look fab!

I thoroughly enjoyed this challenge. I am not usually a daily smoothie drinker, but I hope this will change. This gave me a great base to start with and I plan to continue. I made a double batch of the daily smoothies each day and my 2 kids split the second portion. With the exception of only 1 – my picky eaters loved these and I felt great in making sure they got a healthy start to their day. Fantastic!!

I found so many cool recipes here for healthy drinks, I really appreciated the experience.

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.

This is my first time to have smoothie every morning!! It gave me lots of energy and boost to keep me going until lunch. I felt much more refreshed every morning!!!

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.
