You Won’t Taste The Spinach!

Days one and two were my favorite of the smoothies in the challenge, even though neither one had my favorite ingredient, blueberries! The Beginner’s Luck smoothie is so easy and yummy, and the strawberry banana combo of day two is always a good one. This year’s challenge had more variety than last year’s, but overall I preferred more of last year’s smoothies. I think there was only one last year that wasn’t fantastic. This really doesn’t matter though, because once you get the ratio down and learn what you like and don’t like, it’s very easy to sub ingredients or move on to another recipe. The customization options are endless and easy. I liked the addition of the FB support group, although I did not use it. I learned that I should be adding cauliflower (which I already like) to smoothies! My other accomplishment is a renewed commitment to making smoothies more often than not.

Worth it!

I have loved every one of these recipes. They are light and refreshing. I did most of them in the afternoon, which curbed my sweet tooth. The lemon was so refreshing and the chocolate peanut butter was so rich and satisfying. The ingredients were inexpensive and the smoothies didn’t take long to make. I’ll definitely keep using these recipes.

Yummy!

I saved my smoothies for mid morning. I eat breakfast at 7 and don’t get lunch till 1. So it was nice to save the smoothie. It ties me over until lunch! Definitely loved drinking something healthy vs snacking on something processed. Will repeat again when this is over

Delicious!

I’m only on day 3 as I started the challenge late, but so far they are delicious and it’s fun to try new smoothies I probably wouldn’t have tried on my own. One of my favorite smoothies is still beginners luck. I don’t really care much for bananas but this smoothie is so good! Have been making your smoothies for a few years now and still love them!

We had fun

We had a lot of fun trying some new recipes we might not have tried on our own. So e we loved, some not as much but nothing we thought was gross. We tried adding things we might never have used in a smoothie like cauliflower or carrots. Love getting some added fruits and veggies into our daily breakfast. Thanks!!!!

This challenge was a great way to jump start the new year. Recognizing that all smoothies are NOT created equal and being shown ways to make the healthiest options that also taste delicious is a total game changer. Thank you for helping me to “go green” so effortlessly!

No more ugly smoothies!

What a great way to kick off 2022! Smoothies have always been a big part of my diet and are usually my “go to” every day breakfast. In the past, I tended to dump various combinations of fruit and veg in my blender without much thought. My wife always turned her nose at my grey or brown smoothies that tasted OK but were definitely lacking in visual appeal! The smoothie challenge was a game changer for me! The smoothies were simple, with only a few ingredients each, and they all tasted great. My personal favorite was the Beginner’s Luck Smoothie, which was so delicious, refreshing and lovely bright green. I’m excited to continue on this smoothie journey throughout 2022. Yay! No more ugly smoothies! Thank you so much!

My Vitamix’s FAVORITE time of year!

I’m a repeat Rawstar and love coming back for more smoothie recipes that I’ll make all year. This challenge is always a way to say goodbye holidays cookie season is over time for a fresh start and I always feel good about myself at the end. I was surprised because the Honey Turmeric Smoothie was my favorite and proud of myself because 5 years ago I would’ve thought carrots and turmeric in a smoothie sounded disgusting and now I absolutely love those flavors! Pic is me after snowblowing our driveway how this Ohioan uses her post smoothie energy!

Smoothie Smash

I really enjoyed this smoothie challenge. All of the recipes were delicious. It really showcased how easy it is to be healthy. The smoothies were diverse too and I think that there was something there for everyone. One afternoon I was feeling hungry and wanted to reach into the “junk” cupboard. Then I remembered that I hadn’t had my smoothie yet for the day. It was the Epic Almond Smoothie. Delicious easy and quick to make. And filled me up until supper. Thank you SGS for continuing to share these challenges.
