Thriving Smoothie Rawkstar!

Woowhoo! I am so happy to have experienced this with such a supportive community of individuals. This is exactly what I needed! The smoothie challenge has been a really fun way to be more health focused for the New Year. It gave me the drive and Inspiration to continue living my healthy best life. All the smoothie recipes were innovative tasty and informative. I loved learning about each ingredient and how it directly benefits my health. If I had to choose my favorite smoothie from the challenge I would pick the Healthy Pre-Workout Smoothie because it tastes delicious. At first though I was skeptical about this smoothie because I hate eating salads. Being able to sneak them into this drink has been such a blessing for my health overall because I am deficient in Iron & other necessary minerals my body lacks. One of my greater accomplishments has been losing 5 pounds but most importantly feeling more energized to do the things I love and staying productive throughout my day because of it. Cheers to me!

Fun challenge for new and experienced smoothie drinkers.

I enjoyed the smoothie challenge because everyone was able to help each other get through it. Some of us had experience making smoothies and with prepping. So when people new to it all came across some road blocks we were able to give advice. The admins on the FB page were very helpful as well. I got some new recipe ideas challenged myself with a couple things I wouldn’t normally make and learned that although I love a big hunk of fresh ginger I don’t love a big hunk of fresh turmeric…lol! Some of the recipes were high in carbs lots of banana. But there were places in recipes where it was advised that avocado or cauliflower cold be substituted to lower carbs. It didn’t seem like everyone read through those bits of advice since I saw some complaints about all of the banana. The only advice I can think of is during challenges find a way to remind or educate people about the notes section at the end of recipes.

Taking the guess work out!

I loved this Challenge! I’ve been following SGS for 8yrs. since switching to a plant-based lifestyle. And I’ve done many challenges throughout the years! This one offers more variety; not all spinach and Kale based. I loved the variety of flavours ingredients and add ins! A lot of these recipes will be keepers! Thanks for always offering a new way of blending SGS! I’m a lifer!!

Shake It Up

Easy to follow, quick to do and nutritious! I added a simple immunity drink of blending a whole lemon, seeds and peel with a cup of water and cup of blueberries – feeling great!

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.

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

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!

10 Day RawStacular Smoothie Challenge

It’s been a wonderful 10 days of making these varieties of smoothies, following others in the challenge, going off the grid and creating our own, sharing experiences with others in the group and watching and learning from what everyone has shared. A great 10 days! Thank you!

Delicious Green Smoothies!

This was a fun smoothie challenge! I bought a new blender for Christmas and was anxious to try it out. It was my very first experience making smoothies and I was pleasantly surprised by all the delicious recipes. I’m looking forward to creating all 10 recipes again and switching up some of the ingredients to see what other ones I might discover. I also plan on downloading and purchasing the app. Here’s to a Healthier New Year in 2022!

Smoothie Blast

This was a great challenge with some great recipes. I have tried doing smoothies in the past and always seemed to gain weight. While I didn’t really lose any weight on this challenge – and that wasn’t my intention – I didn’t gain any weight and I got some great recipes. My mind is now spinning with combinations I want to try that I would have never thought about before!
