Free Smoothie Challenge

I have to be honest. This challenge was rather easy for me because I already drink green smoothies/smoothie bowls daily. However, I have been in a rut, making the same few recipes every day. I loved the variety of combinations this challenge had to offer. It helped me switch up my flavors, and I discovered some delightful ones. Thanks for so many yummy smoothies!

My husband & I did this together so naturally we had different “reviews” sometimes, but we both loved the Beginners Luck’s fruity taste; the Perfect Lemon, which the name says it all -“PERFECT”; PB Chocolate was like a milkshake, YUM; and the Creamy Banana’s sweet vanilla flavor was amazing! There weren’t any that we didn’t enjoy, and some I would just change up a few of the ingredients a little. Having a shopping list made it so much easier and the idea of being offered a challenge made me stick to it each morning. It also made me buy and try different ingredients like non-dairy yogurt, and cashew milk which I didn’t even know existed! There wasn’t any cashew yogurt in my store, but I’ll keep searching for it. I love the concept of eating more plant-based and whole foods and try my best to do so, but it’s a big challenge to stick with it. The increase in the extra “get up and go” that we have is so worth it. Thanks so much for the motivation, it helps immensely!!

Loved the challenge. Looked forward to each new recipe and was not disappointed once. All were delicious and left me with energy to meet my day without hesitation. I am in this game for good now. Purchased your app Daily Blends and am can’t wait to try all those recipes as well. Cheers to “Smoothie Operators”!

It was fun to take part in the smoothie challenge and try some ingredients I had never tried before and try some new smoothies. I enjoyed the challenge since all the recipes were ready for me. I appreciated the “get ready” video before we started and I appreciated the tips for making the challenge easy to do. I’m glad to have the information on ingredient swaps and a little background on the benefits of each smoothie. The challenge was just the right length to make it fun. Thanks for allowing me to take this journey with all.

This smoothie challenge was a great way to incorporate more fruits, vegetables and healthy ingredients into my diet. My favorite smoothie was the chocolate peanut butter smoothie because I love peanut butter!! However there wasn’t a smoothie from the ten days that I didn’t enjoy; they were all delicious. Enjoying a smoothie daily has made me feel like I have more energy throughout the day.

This challenge is easy, fun and nutritious. The team spirit is always inspiring and keeps me accountable. Starting the day with a smoothie sets the tone for the day. I feel more equipped to eat healthier throughout the day. My favorite smoothie was the Lemon Peach Smoothie. It is a zesty palate cleanser, and very different from other smoothies that I have been making. I’d say it would also be perfect as an afternoon pick me up or after a heavy meal and not just in the morning. Give it a try if you haven’t as yet!

This challenge went by way too fast! I am eating gluten free and have been struggling with breakfast ideas. Each of the smoothie recipes were gluten free and delicious. I now have go to ideas/recipes that will really make a difference in how I enjoy the most important meal of the day. What sticks out in my mind with the challenge is the ease and flexibility of the recipes. I keep a well stocked pantry and yet there were a couple of items I didn’t have. I substituted the ingredients I had on hand and each smoothie turned out beautifully. I also like the way the recipes were designed, I could tweak them to my own taste, I am an experiential and need to enjoy and engage in the process. This included buying the ingredients, making the smoothie, and finally consuming it. This was a fun process and each step kept me interested. I am looking forward to this spring and summer when I can harvest the greens I grow. The idea of knowing where my food comes from and how it is grown is important to me. I want to eat cleanly and using my home grown spinach in smoothies . Now I can do that with delicious smoothie recipes, thanks!

Nice recipe variety easy to substitute fruits / flavors when needed.

Yet another great collection of smoothies from Jen! This challenge was a mix of oldies-but-goodies with some new and different smoothies many of which will definitely make it into regular rotation. The Honey Tumeric Smoothie is a new favourite!

I always feel better when I drink a daily green smoothie, but it is difficult for me to stay on track when the weather is cold. Having this challenge in January is a great incentive for me to begin the year on the right footing. I also loved that it began on Jan 10, not earlier. I couldn’t have gotten myself together to start a week earlier. This challenge also had a lot of non-green smoothies which pushed me to try new recipes. All-in-all this was a great experience.

I went into the smoothie challenge as a way to reach my daughter how to make herself a healthy easy breakfast. But it turned into a fun way for us to spend time together in the kitchen. We talked about each ingredient, the benefits of each ingredient, and substitutes for the items we didn’t like. It was so fun to learn about my daughters preferences and how adding kale or cauliflower to the smoothies were fun ways to “eat/drink” veggies she typically doesn’t like. Our favorite smoothie of the challenge was the Best Green Smoothie! Hands down so easy and delicious. I added some protein powder in mine and my daughter like to top her smoothies off with slices of fresh mango. I am sad the challenge has come to an end, but so grateful for the fun way I was able to bond with my daughter. We are going to continue to have a smoothie a day, its great way for us to get our veggies in!

New ideas are fun and challenging. I am grateful to share in the experience.

The smoothie challenge showed me just how nutrient deprived my body was. A few smoothies in my nails were whiter, my dry eyes weren’t so dry, I could problem solve without feeling anxious, and I could put more umph into my exercise. routines. I was performing moderate exercise routines for a little over an hour. Yay me! My favorite smoothie is the Perfect Lemon Smoothie for making me feel hydrated and for making my tummy feel comfortable. Yay tummy! I also appreciated the alternatives ingredient options so I could have it my way.

This was so much fun even though I’m a bit behind. Got derailed for a couple days due to illness. BUT that Honey Turmeric Smoothie is so so good! I swear it gave me a very needed boost! It’s my favorite of this challenge. That said, there haven’t been any that I wouldn’t recommend or make again. I plan on keeping the momentum going—Rawk on!!!

Was very easy to follow and the smoothies was very tasteful
