Smoothie Challenge Reviews
What past challengers say after a week of smoothies.
Without smoothie daily|it is like a day without sun light
Increased my intake of veggies Increased fibre intake Managing food carving better Balance of carb proteins and fats Sometimes it is very sweet Gives energy boost Thank you Jan and the team
Amazing
This was my first challenge and I am so happy I joined. Both my husband and I had an amazing time every day. Every smoothie was a new experience since we were not that adventurous with our smoothies before. Now we are willing to experience more. We are super happy 😃
Energy boost
I loved the flavor of the smoothies. I also liked how we could add more vegetables to decrease the fruit sugars. My jeans are looser. My energy was high. My dog also liked the longer walks even in this cold weather. My favorite smoothie was the creamy blueberry smoothie. I live in Maine so I have had a ton of blueberry smoothies. We live in a blueberry field! 😁 This smoothie gave me a new go to with the creamy cashew tones.
Easy Breezy Groovy Smoothies
Dear Smoothie Goonies, I’m not a liar, yet I wish I could writing this review – but really, it is not possible to lie here. Normally, to win a giveaway with a review, I would exaggerate my experience to raise my chances. But the truth is that I don’t need to. These ten days have been some of the best days of my life. For me, it will not stop at ten days. I have felt healthier than ever, more focused than ever, and most importantly, happier than – well, not ever; happier than I’ve been in a long time. With this challenge, I’ve been inspired to become the best version of myself. This challenge has already catapulted me already in that direction, but I get surprised how I am more and more excited with each day to make my smoothie. The “best version of myself” is not necessarily defined by a smoothie (that would make life simpler though. And sweeter). That best version for anyone, I believe, is peace with that deep feeling of oneself within. It is an ever-growing product of our natural given aspects combined with what we acquire throughout the journey. The best version is also one’s external life circumstances filling up the internal; the soul. All this is bold to say, but truly, these beverages have lifted me up. They have been a blessing to my internal; to my soul. They have given me such awareness of myself, which I’ve never had. I can actually listen to my body intensely, and then actively take care of it – also something I’ve never understood for myself. And again, the beauty is not in the smoothie itself, although of course the flavors and textures are exquisite – seriously magical slurpy goodness. Each smoothie is made in 3 minutes or less. 3 minutes or less sets me up to be with myself. To be the best version of myself. It is hard for me to fathom that gift from a cup of blended nutrients. And even though it is almost unbelievable – even though this joy is new to me – I will continue to drink smoothies every day. To my highest self. To my juiciest self. Thank you endlessly.
Fun and Healthy Smoothie Challenge
Excellent smoothie challenge Program. Fantastically delicious and nutrient dense smoothies chosen with minimal ingredients and ease of preparation in the busy morning hours. These beautiful, elegant, and basic smoothie preparations in the morning can be continued further and beyond just as it is, or with further modifications/additions as per wish. Thank you dearly for this wonderful smoothie challenge!
Lots of Options!
Great variety of healthy smoothies! A bit heavy on the use of bananas to sweeten. I used much less and still had great tasting results. I especially enjoyed the recipes that included ginger.
All in all a big thumbs up!
Grins: Loved doing the challenge, even got my husband to do it with me. Lots of the recipes surprised me…. Like the lemon one. 😋 I mean who puts a whole lemon in a smoothie? Me now! Groans: too many bananas, and not enough supplements like chia, flax, moringa, etc ( but I added them anyway) All in all, a big thumbs up and many will be in regular rotation. Bonus, 2lb weight loss over the 10 days.
Honey For My Honey
I really enjoyed the challenge. My husband and I are in our 70’s. I have always loved a good smoothie but my husband not so much, especially the green smoothies, which are my favorite. We both enjoyed the Honey turmeric smoothie. It was refreshing and something new for me, the turmeric. It’s sometimes difficult to get the right fruits and spices to blend correctly to taste great together. We honestly enjoyed them all. It was great fun! And…my husband looks forward to our smoothies. 💕 The recipes are wonderful! (Thank you Jen)
It’s a Smooth….ie Life
Love your smoothie and book, have had it for years. But in the course of finding SGS years ago, we have them most mornings for breakfast and I can pre-make hubby one for a snack later and he gets his veggies! I love doing the mini challenges even though I Have the book……
Fun for the whole family
Over this challenge my little four year old really got into it as well. He has become a very picky eater and my partner and myself are always concerned when he choose not to eat dinner. He loved most of the smoothies, with strawberry banana and the lemon smoothie being his favorites. We will most definitely continuing to make smoothies to help get some extra nutrients into the little guy, also a huge benefit for myself and my partner as well getting a good start to the day. Been a great bonding experience as well prepping and making the smoothies together.
One more thing – good for baby too!

Never Quit Trying
I have done this challenge many times over the last 8 or 9 years. This one was my favorite! Being able to switch up the smoothies each day, or substitute ingredients and still have a healthy snack or meal substitute is the best way to jump start a new eating habit. The recipes are versatile and very tasty. They all use easy to find ingredients. A few of them surprised me with items I do not use on a regular basis. I am partial to spinach in most of my smoothies, but fell in love with the Epic Almond smoothie without any greens. I made my own Cashew Milk and Oat Milk for the very first time. Loved them both! I guess it took me a while to switch my plant based milk.
10 days of happiness!
It was very easy to follow and very encouraging to continue with the group support. Reading up all the reviews, comment, and questions really make me part of the group that I want to be with. Best of all I have fun making them and look forward to the time where I share the smoothies with my sister for a sisterly bonding time.
Yummy smoothies
This is my second smoothie challenge. I found all of the recipes to be good to great. There was something for everyone. If you’re not a fan of greens such as spinach or kale, these smoothie are for you. Not only are the smoothies filling and healthy, they are delicious. I would highly recommend any of the smoothie challenges offered.
Bonanza of flavor
This is my 3rd challenge this year21-22, Once I signed up well I am a pro 😂 went to the store to purchase what I thought was need it. Spinach, kale, and berries. Well was I for a fun surprise I only used one of the five bags of spinach that I had stored. This challenge was so much fun it is perfect to do with the family even my most picky eater was on board. The Boy Scouts in my family requested that I pre blended smoothies for them while at camp. Even this week my 15 year old asked can you make me another smoothie please!! Thank you The community makes it so much fun for me Having their support is priceless J and simple green smoothies team you are on point.
