Fresh,Fun|Festive

Great experience. With every smoothie I felt cleaner. There is really no other way to put it. I have been doing these challenges for years and this one is by far my favorite. The honey turmeric was a particular delight. I have made it many times since. My toddler and 4 year old loved blending with mommy. Hubby even joined in a few mornings.

Great way to try new recipes

Great way to check out new recipes. My favorite was the Honey Tumeric smoothie. I only had ground turmeric, but will continue to look for fresh turmeric.

Warning: This could start an addiction! (in a good way) 🙂

I absolutely love these smoothie challenges! I completed my first one last January and have been hooked on green smoothies ever since. I seriously crave these things and love the variety of them available in the simple green smoothies cookbook and on this website! There are so many delicious options that its hard to pick a favorite but one that I always come back to and make very often for friends and family is the beginners luck smoothie. It’s hard to go wrong with pineapple (in my very tropical loving opinion) and this is just one smoothie that is simple, taste great and everyone for whom I’ve made it, loves it! I was sooo excited with this challenge because most of the time when I do these, I end up missing a day here or there, (especially over the weekends) but thanks to smoothie prepping, I did not miss a single day on this challenge! Thanks to Jen and all the rawkstar team that are so helpful and present great recipes and info!

Color explosion!

I am an artist . So colors are as much important for me as taste and texture. Congratulations! You check all the boxes with this challenge 😊 it is impossible to choose one smoothy as the best . They all have their differences ! Saying difference I mean It in the very best positive way . The same like we are ,we are all different in our own way 🙂 which is great ! (In my opinion ) . Thank you for helping me improve my “different” 😊

Variety fun

I knew that making a smoothie for ten days would not be a challenge. I make a smoothie most days but I always make the same one. I enjoyed finding a few new favorite smoothie recipes to add to my routine. My kids even enjoyed trying the new recipes. My favorites were the almond smoothie, the pre workout smoothie, and the orange tumerick smoothie. I was even able to get my kids to try a green smoothie!

Days of Delicious

I loved this smoothie challenge! The shopping guide made it super easy to shop for so that I had everything I needed for the daily smoothies. I also loved the online support with prep tips making it simple to prepare ahead so that I just had to pop the ingredients in the blender each morning, blend, and enjoy. Some smoothies I enjoyed more than others, but I honestly liked them all. Beginner’s Luck is the perfect smoothie to start with since it is very tasty and will rid you of any “green” phobias you may have. I will definitely be doing this again and look forward to joining other challenges as well.

Flavor variety lacking flavor

Overall, I was glad I did the challenge. It got me out of my comfort zone and trying smoothies with different ingredients. I was underwhelmed by the flavors. I felt like most of the smoothies were somehow bland in flavor and they were not filling. There are few recipes I would do again, but they at least gave me ideas for different ingredients to use and mix together.

Oh How Fun!

My experience in the smoothie challenge was amazing! I enjoyed making all the smoothie recipes that were suggested and had no idea about some of the combinations but was pleasantly surprised. I have been one to drink smoothies but usually never stay consistent at making them but this challenge has helped me spark and recreate a new smoothie habit!

Our smoothie challenge with our 2 kids producing colorful mustaches

We did the smoothie challenge and our kids enjoyed most having a new colored mustache every day whether red, yellow, purple or green, it was fun. We really liked the purple meal replacement smoothie and our kids loved the Epic almond smoothie that they called the “nut smoothie”. We are keeping some of the recipes for everyday use handy. Thanks for introducing us to healthy smoothies.

Smoothies for a Healthy Marriage (and life :))

I’ve participated in a past Smoothie Challenge, so I was excited about the variety of recipes during this challenge. I completely overindulged over the holidays, so this was a perfect way to get back to adding a good healthy habit in the new year. Best of all, my husband showed an active interest in the challenge with me! I don’t have Facebook, but he does, so I had him join the group so I could stay more engaged with the challenge. He was kind enough to give me updates, and it also helped him to see exactly what he was drinking every day. Typically, I just set his smoothie in front of him, he gulps it down and moves on with his day without thinking about it. It was a small thing, but it was kind of fun to talk about it together. He’d even make suggestions for ways to change them up in the future, which was cute. He even gave the green light to purchase a Vitamix, but I couldn’t quite pull the trigger – maybe soon… Our joint favorites were the Chocolate Peanut Butter (I think I could drink that every day for the rest of my life) and the Creamy Banana. He keeps talking about the Creamy Banana. The Lemon Ginger was also a surprise hit! The Beginner’s Luck is an oldie, but goodie. It’s the one I return to again and again for easy meal planning. All in all, it was nice burst of positive vibes! Thank you for offering!

Floating in Smoothies

Most of the smoothies in this challenge were good to very good. Only one or maybe two in the challenge were a little strong flavored. Not sure if that is something I did or not so will try those again. I always enjoy the challenges as they make me get up off the couch and do something. And the good news is the meals and smoothies I have tried both from the challenges and the smoothie and meals recipe books I have really enjoyed. The recipes and smoothies have allowed me to finally find a way to get much more fruits and vegetables into my diet. That I am really excited about. Keep scheduling the challenges since every one I participate in shows me net foods to include and teaches me new techniques. Maybe by the time I get old I will finally be able to care for my health. Thank You
