Great Recipes

I loved the variety of recipes to make great tasting smoothies that aren’t your boring usual ones. I appreciated the look at the nutrition and the benefits of each ingredient. The swap suggestions in the recipes were really helpful too! I struggle with having enough time for breakfast in the morning, but being able to make delicious smoothies quickly and being able to drink those at my desk is a huge win for me!

First time making smoothies, fun experience!

I loved getting the shopping list early, and being prepared. I did sub a few things, but it was neat to see how different they tasted. It’s a great time to year to try this! A couple of them will be made several times this summer, I’m sure!

Getting Back on Track!

Smoothies have been a part of my diet for many years. This challenge isn’t my first. I have been off my game for a while due to life stresses I’m doing this challenge to help get me back on track, to make healthy choices and take care myself before taking care of others. Having my daily smoothie helps me make better choices throughout the day. I have been feeling so much better since starting this challenge.

Transported me back to memorable vacations!!!

I found this smoothie and hydration challenge to be the perfect start to the summer. So many delicious smoothies that really transported me back to memorable vacations. It was fun trying new smoothies I had not had before. Jen Hansard amazes me every time we do a challenge. When I think I have had every smoothie there is to be had, she breaks out some new ones I have never had, and they are ALWAYS delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever had a smoothie I didn’t like created by her! I love making up batches of her smoothies, freezing them, and having them ready for consumption. I usually make about 14+! They are fantastic to have made up and ready to go on days I haven’t had a chance to make anything else to eat for lunch or dinner. Plus, with summer here, they are just refreshing to have on hot days without guilt, because they are so good for you nutritionally. Another bonus, smoothies really help you meet your water needs. I really appreciate the work Jen puts into each of her recipes to make sure they are nutritionally sound and healthy. I don’t have to think about it!!! Highly recommend

Fun and inspiring

The challenge was fun and inspiring. I had gotten away from making smoothies and it was so refreshing getting back into it. I felt really good about adding more fruits and vegetables to my diet. I really love the cauliflower hack, as it gave the smoothies that milkshake like consistency. I will look forward to keeping up the healthy clean recipes and look forward to grabbing a copy of your book. Thank you so much

Challenge

I did the 5 day challenge. I enjoyed all the smoothies. I have looked at a lot of your recipes and am interested in following a plant based diet. I haven’t been totally doing it but want to get better at it.

Love the challenge and community!

I got stuck making the same smoothies over and over. Life got challenging, and I got stuck doing the same morning routine. Thank you for helping get me out of my rut. I know having differing foods in my diet is helpful to overall health, sometimes we just need that push from an amazing community:)

Loved trying new recipes!

This challenge helped me try new ideas for smoothies. I’m always winging my smoothies with basically the same ingredients. And even though they turn out good they tend to taste somewhat the same. I had the opportunity to try new combinations and they were amazing!

Your smoothies are always delicious! I haven’t found one yet that I don’t like.

Since you first showed making a smoothie with cauliflower a while ago, I always wanted to try it but never did. This challenge actually had me buy some and make a smoothie with it!! Couldn’t tell there was cauliflower in it at all. Now I’m making sure I always have a bag of frozen cauliflower in my freezer!!! Thank you!
