Finding the new you

I loved being apart of this challenge. While I didn’t get to do all the smoothies I plan to go through again. I loved the accountability and getting to see everyones own twist on a smoothie. This challenge I tried new things example Oat Milk ( so yummy) Cacao having the guy in Publix help me find it while I tried to pronounce it 😂. Tumeric and grating my own ginger. This challenge pushed me to keep going and try new things. I’m still not good at prep but it’s all about a starting point. I want to try the protein powder as well. I have to say Beginners Luck is my favorite smoothie. It is so refreshing and so simple and easy to make. You can’t mess this one up!! Lol I can’t wait for the next challenge!!

Consider this challenge as a gateway to tastier smoothies!

I loved this easy no-fuss challenge! The timing was perfect as one is already thinking about their health in the new year. What I truly appreciated about the challenge was trying smoothie combinations I hadn’t had before (other than the beginner’s luck and chocolate bp smoothie). Would I gravitate to a smoothie with frozen carrots on my own? No if I’m being honest. Will I try it because it is part of a smoothie challenge? Yes. It was a small ask and I did it. And guess what? I liked it. I’ll make it again. So I appreciate the challenge to move my comfort zone. It was a tasty 10 days.

🍓🫐 Simply Smoothies… Berry Delicious! 🫐🍓

I absolutely LOVED this challenge! First off the smoothies taste amazing! Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Each recipe was simple but never boring. I love how we implemented unique ingredients like frozen cauliflower. It was fun stepping out of the box from your traditional smoothies. The challenge was very positive but also very diverse. You could learn a lot from how some people supplemented their smoothies. My favorite smoothie was the meal replacement smoothie. Only reason is because I love berries. And this one is berry delicious! I would highly recommend the challenge to everyone I know! I loved how Simple Green Smoothies interacted within our group. The dedication that Jen has and gives doesn’t go unnoticed! It’s pretty amazing! She is a true gem! Thank you for the opportunity to experience your amazing smoothies and to join your community!

Awesome!

I loved the challenge! It is definitely made me want to start making smoothies in my mornings again. My husband gets an intake of some veggies and fruits instead of soda all day. Will definitely be buying the recipe book in the next few days. There were a few that were not my favorite, but I would try again.

Love the Greens!!

I loved this challenge! I had my whole family drinking green smoothies every morning and adding WAY more veggies to our meals. Now it has become part of our morning routine.

I first want to say thank you for this challenge!! I loved all of them except for one because it was a little too tart. I had such a great experience with this challenge. I am very thankful for being able to try some smoothies I would’ve never thought to try.

My husband and I enjoyed the smoothie challenge! It was fun to try new recipes beyond the typical green smoothies that we usually make. The peanut butter chocolate smoothie was so delicious – it was like dessert!

Game Changer

This smoothie challenge was absolutely Amazing. Prepping ahead & then quickly making meal #1, makes my morning before heading off to teach Pre-K Special Needs so much mire Smooth & Filling. My husband and I both enjoyed the different variety of tastes from around the world in our smoothies. I would love the Vitamix blender, mine is about 15+ years old and needs to be replaced. Thank you for putting this together and offering the Free challenge! Our favorite?? Can’t choose, because they were all amazing.

Morning excitement!

My son has been making the same smoothie every day, for the last year, in the Vitamix…Strawberry/Banana/Blueberry. When I received the invite to your challenge, I was so excited to try some new combinations. My favorite was the Meal Replacement Smoothie. I love the idea of adding spinach to make it healthier, without the taste of the greens. I actually will seek out more green smoothie recipes, now that the challenge is over. I am sad actually that it has come to a close, because I enjoyed reading the daily reviews and blogs from other participants. I called it “morning excitement” because each night, I got excited for the next days smoothie recipe! Thank you soooo much for hosting this!

Amazing!

This has been a wonderful smoothie challenge! I loved the new recipes – the support from Jen and other participants! Most importantly I loved the chance to be a part of it and expand my knowledge and comfort level re smoothies and their power to increase energy, stamina and health. I’m a single mom of a medically complex child – (he’s amazing and the strongest person I know) and I’ve had a difficult time with self care the last couple of years. This group / time/ challenge was enormously helpful! I actually – on purpose – because I wanted to – made an extra beginners luck smoothie because I liked it and knew it would help me feel better. Sounds kinda of simple – but it meant so much! Thanks for giving me a handle on how to get / be healthier and feel better!
