Free Smoothie Challenge

From Day 1, with the delicious Beginner’s Luck Smoothie, I looked forward to each day’s smoothie. I have made smoothies before this challenge, but usually made the same 2-3 ones. The variety of 10 different smoothies plus ingredients I had not used before added to my playbook and kept me from getting tired of the same ole thing. I loved the turmeric, ginger, chia seeds, cauliflower, and rolled oats which were all new to my smoothies. Adding peanut butter or vanilla protein powder or plain Greek yogurt to smoothies kept me full and these smoothies served as a replacement for lunch. I also added spinach to every smoothie to get more vitamins. My motivation stayed high and I tried other smoothies that I highly recommend-Pina Colada to which I added Dang Coconut Chips, spinach and Plain Greek Yogurt as well as the peanut butter protein powder to the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and Creamy Banana Smoothie. The shopping lists were great and I made 5 smoothies at a time. I found freezing in baggies was much easier to dislodge the contents than from mason jars. A shout out to ALDIS as they have all of the frozen fruit at a rock bottom price.At the end of this Challenge, I feel healthier and lost 3 pounds. I definitely will keep rawking!!!

Breakfast has always been my most challenging healthy meal at home. These smoothies were delicious and I looked forward each day to a new taste and was delighted to have benefits of kale without having to taste it!! My hubby also enjoyed this challenge and will continue to experiment with mixing in new flavors. Thank you for brithening our mornings!

Couldn’t wait till I come home every night after work so I can make a delicious green smoothie. Knowing how good the smoothies for you, I drank them guilt free ( I usually don’t drink anything sweet). Thank you for recipes, thank you for your website, I enjoyed it and feel great!.

I am a chef and a meal coach. I love delivering a challenge by referral to my clients that has been achieved by others before so it allows them to know they are not alone in a smoothie challenge. I like to participate as well-especially for the first time in a new challenge such as yours.Thank you so much for being thorough and your explanation on nutritious ingredients and what to use if you don’t have an ingredient listed. I Appreciate the challenge available through Vitamix. I live by my vitamix !!! I wouldn’t of known about this group otherwise!

I am now pumped up to continue this journey to include more smoothies everyday regardless of the season! I have had the Simple Green Smoothies Book which I have used lots but not so much in the winter months! By participating in the challenge during our coldest times it has awakened me to realize cold smoothies are still great even though it is cold outside! This challenge also had me use a variety of different products that I wouldn’t have used otherwise and now will continue to use! Thank you so much Jen & Team for organizing this challenge and being such a positive inspiration to help all of us lead a healthy lifestyle! Hope to be able to participate in future challenges with you!

I really enjoyed going on this journey, exploring new taste profiles and exploring the world of non-dairy milk products as well as incorporating nuts into my smoothies. I have been a strictly green smoothie person, usually using water as my liquid base and sticking to the same tried and true recipes. I feel like I stepped out of my smoothie rut and have a new appreciation for using non-dairy products which I never bothered to try. They definitely can enhance the flavor profiles of the smoothies and provide really yummy treats. I also found some new favorites and am excited continue to explore different smoothies as well as enjoying my new favorites.

I did a smoothie challenge last July and my blender has been pretty idle since. Was glad to be able to get blending again! I enjoyed most of the smoothies during this challenge especially the Epic Almond Smoothie. It was so good! I tried to make each smoothie recipe as written but knew I could modify the recipe to my taste. It was fun to see the participants posting on Facebook with their modifications and suggestions. Doing this challenge reenforces my desire for eating a healthier diet.

I really enjoyed this past 10 days. I got my blender 6 years ago and I joined one of your 30 day challenges and I have been making smoothies ever since but I get in a rut of chia seeds, greens, blueberries, strawberries, water and avocado I like it and it’s easy but I really enjoyed having different flavors. I need to get some containers and do prep so I can have a variety. I definitely will be making some of these smoothies again.

I found some of the smoothies to be excellent, some that I would try again and again. There were a couple that I would modify a little bit. Sometimes the ginger can be a little overpowering but overall it was quite enjoyable.

I particularly appreciate the variety in this challenge. Instead of just having the same smoothie day after day, I will change it up. Some suit me better than others, but I almost always add a protein supplement. All recipes easily accommodate such additions. All the encouragement and flexibility within the challenge kept it easy and fun. Many thanks for a great time.

Loved that they will were individual sized that fit my Nutribullet without overfilling. Favorite was the Meal Replacement Smoothie with it’s nice blueberry flavor. I didn’t follow the directions on the one that requires a lemon, but instead squirted in too much bottled lemon juice and it came out sour, my bad. This was fun.

I thoroughly enjoyed this smoothie challenge. I have owned my vitamix for about two years now and this is the most use it has received! I am thankful just for that! My overall fave was the Beginner Luck’s Smoothie. I make this type of smoothie often. I was super impressed with the water base as I always use a juice base! The Epic Almond, Creamy Banana, and Creamy Blueberry were also among my faves! The creamy smoothies were and will continue to be a great way to incorporate yogurt into my diet! Overall I learned time management and consistency via yummy to my tummy smoothies! I made those for breakfast in the morning before work! Usually I do not have enough time in the morning to make breakfast and often start with an empty stomach until lunch. I made myself wake up earlier to have the time to make the smoothies and still be on time for work! My body was so appreciative for the energy first thing in the morning and it yielded a more positive attitude in the morning! Thank you so much for these 10 recipes and the challenge! I will definitely be repeating all 10 recipes and will even be adding my own touches!

I’ve done several @simplegreensmoothies challenges and love all the recipes and the push they always give me to cleanse and reset my eating habits! My favorite yummie( smoothie!) this time was the Turmeric honey. I battle chronic inflammation and appreciate learning new ways incorporate turmeric to my diet.

The smoothie challenge was awesome. It fit right in line with my liquid fast. I was able try new things and recipes. Things that I will use in my life on a regular basis.

The green and citrus smoothies are my jam! I wasn’t a fan of the berry smoothies but..in their defense I used fresh instead of frozen and there was something amok with my bananas (they never ripened). Suffice to say – it was a great experience and these smoothies have been great for my body. I can literally feel the difference (happy body). I will continue with the smoothies going forward and I’m so thankful to Jen for providing me with the opportunity to try this smoothie challenge.
