Yummy in my Tummy!

I had so much fun participating in the smoothie challenge. It was so easy prepping ahead of time which made it doable to stick with it! In such a short period of time I felt more energized. My favorites were those that had bananas in them but, all were delicious .

Crushing Health Goals

I love these challenges. This challenge was a great way to get me back into drinking my smoothies each day. I loved that these smoothies departed from the “greens” and added some new interesting things. Everything always tasted amazing and is so healthy. The challenge group was fun and supportive. The challenge was well organized and helped me get back on track with my health goals. I look forward to the next challenge.

These smoothies RAWK!

I loved having the recipes for the smoothies because it makes prepping them so easy! I give the variety of the smoothie recipes a 10+! I was able to prep several days at a time, pop them into the freezer so each day I could just take out a baggie, add the milk, dump in the bagged contents, and voila! I purchased the smoothie recipe book for more fun ideas that I’ll definitely be using throughout the year.

Amazing variety and so simple

I was thoroughly pleased with the variety and differences in flavor. Things I would never have dreamt up. It made it exciting to see what was in store every day. I even forced myself to eat peaches, which thankfully I couldn’t pick out precisely in the blended smoothie flavors.

Enlightening experience

It certainly opened my eyes to the possibilities, and I plan to continue exploring new mixes. Many of the required recipes were higher glycemic than I prefer to eat, but I do realize this challenge was aimed at people accustomed to sweeter flavors.

A Rainbow of Smoothies!

This is my third challenge since finding out about Simple Green Smoothies last autumn. I love the simplicity of the recipes and all of the ingredients are easy to find in my small town. Every smoothie was filling and refreshing, and I loved each drink. Morning smoothies are now a part of my daily wellness plan!

Live Life Like A Smoothiful Blended Rainbow

Wow, what a fun challenge! Sometimes it’s easy to get into a rut when trying to do things that are good for us, especially eating healthy, so it then becomes boring and difficult. This challenge was exactly what I needed to jumpstart me back into enjoying eating healthy smoothies, and more importantly, pushing myself out of my comfort zone and enjoying it. I tried all 10 smoothies and made them as directed, without substitutions, so I could ‘challenge’ myself to try them as intended. One of the wonderful perks of this challenge is that you are given possible substitutions. So if there are certain ingredients that you are not able to have or you don’t care for, you have options. Actually, you are encouraged to substitute as you see fit. I also learned a lot as there were helpful tidbits provided along the way. For example, the proper order in which to add your ingredients to the Vitamix blender, blender cleaning tips, how to prep in advance and that I am not alone in my dairy allergy. Soooo happy I joined this challenge and thank you to the wonderful support team at SGS!!!

I actually made smoothies

This experience was really fun! We have a fitness group, so I encouraged them to join this as well (around 10 friends). All of us did the challenge and sent daily photos to one another while joining the larger Support group. So, it was a community within a community. I’m really proud of myself for actually forcing myself to make a smoothie, and getting WAY more nutrients than I normally get. I usually eat one or two meals a day consisting of whatever I find in my fridge or pantry. I’m actually really grateful for this push, and for the delicious recipes that you shared with us. It was a good experience and I would definitely do this again!
