Free Smoothie Challenge

It’s been great way to start the new year off on the right foot! The recipes were flavorful packed with nutrients and it introduced me to new ingredients like Turmeric. To be in community with many folks who are doing the challenge you have a group to ask questions bounce ideas off when you need to exchange ingredients and the great prizes are a bonus too!

I really enjoyed the 2022 Winter Smoothie Challenge! It was fun to see and taste such a variety of colours and flavours. Although I missed the greens at times it was great trying new combinations and seeing people’s different substitutions. Thank you so much to Jen and the Simple Green Smoothies team for your excellent recipes and community!!

All smoothies were so good and tasty but i would say my favorite one was the creamy banana smoothie. I’m very into sweets so it was a healthy alternative to satisfy that craving. After the challenge i feel slimmer, my tummy is flatter and i feel healthy and energetic overall. I would definetly keep making these smoothies and try for new ones in the kitchen! Looking forward to the next challenge!

From Day 1, with the delicious Beginner’s Luck Smoothie, I looked forward to each day’s smoothie. I have made smoothies before this challenge, but usually made the same 2-3 ones. The variety of 10 different smoothies plus ingredients I had not used before added to my playbook and kept me from getting tired of the same ole thing. I loved the turmeric, ginger, chia seeds, cauliflower, and rolled oats which were all new to my smoothies. Adding peanut butter or vanilla protein powder or plain Greek yogurt to smoothies kept me full and these smoothies served as a replacement for lunch. I also added spinach to every smoothie to get more vitamins. My motivation stayed high and I tried other smoothies that I highly recommend-Pina Colada to which I added Dang Coconut Chips, spinach and Plain Greek Yogurt as well as the peanut butter protein powder to the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and Creamy Banana Smoothie. The shopping lists were great and I made 5 smoothies at a time. I found freezing in baggies was much easier to dislodge the contents than from mason jars. A shout out to ALDIS as they have all of the frozen fruit at a rock bottom price.At the end of this Challenge, I feel healthier and lost 3 pounds. I definitely will keep rawking!!!

Breakfast has always been my most challenging healthy meal at home. These smoothies were delicious and I looked forward each day to a new taste and was delighted to have benefits of kale without having to taste it!! My hubby also enjoyed this challenge and will continue to experiment with mixing in new flavors. Thank you for brithening our mornings!

Couldn’t wait till I come home every night after work so I can make a delicious green smoothie. Knowing how good the smoothies for you, I drank them guilt free ( I usually don’t drink anything sweet). Thank you for recipes, thank you for your website, I enjoyed it and feel great!.

I am a chef and a meal coach. I love delivering a challenge by referral to my clients that has been achieved by others before so it allows them to know they are not alone in a smoothie challenge. I like to participate as well-especially for the first time in a new challenge such as yours.Thank you so much for being thorough and your explanation on nutritious ingredients and what to use if you don’t have an ingredient listed. I Appreciate the challenge available through Vitamix. I live by my vitamix !!! I wouldn’t of known about this group otherwise!

I’ve learned so much about making smoothies over the past 10 days! I have been making smoothies for many years just kinda winging it and this challenge is something I should have done 10 years ago! Thank you for making it fun and teaching me how to CORRECTLY make delicious, creamy, colorful smoothies!

Interesting challenge. It was fun learning how to make new smoothie recipe combos. I think I lost 5 pounds? My weight has fluctuated with bloating .

My family and I loved taking part in the smoothie challenge! My favorite is the Honey Turmeric – My 17-year-old’s favorite is the Chocolate Peanut butter Smoothie – My 15-year-old loves the Perfect Lemon Smoothie. I learned a lot about smoothie making and even started menu-planning smoothies into our day!

There were some really good smoothies. I learned a lot about nutrition and lots of first time ingredients. I will definitely continue to make smoothies -daily. Definitely recommend! Thank you for this awesome opportunity!

What great timing to have a smoothie challenge and connect with an amazing group of like-minded people. It was fun seeing pics and comments, and I found some more smoothies I like. I have to admit after two years of green smoothies I did miss the greens! Thank you Jen and team for continuing to challenge and encourage us, and for bringing us all together!

This challenge pushed me to try new ingredients and to have fun in the process. From blending up combinations I love to those that I would never think to combine, it was so wonderful to try all of these smoothies. I definitely plan on adding a few of these to my growing rotation of smoothies. Can’t wait for the next challenge!

I am now pumped up to continue this journey to include more smoothies everyday regardless of the season! I have had the Simple Green Smoothies Book which I have used lots but not so much in the winter months! By participating in the challenge during our coldest times it has awakened me to realize cold smoothies are still great even though it is cold outside! This challenge also had me use a variety of different products that I wouldn’t have used otherwise and now will continue to use! Thank you so much Jen & Team for organizing this challenge and being such a positive inspiration to help all of us lead a healthy lifestyle! Hope to be able to participate in future challenges with you!

This was my second year doing the SGS smoothie challenge and I loved it even more this time than last. The recipes have been amazing (there’s only one I probably won’t repeat!) and having this plan was a great way to kick off the new year and rebuild healthy habits–habits that I admit had been broken over the last few months! Now that the “challenge” is finished, I’m not stopping. I’m so excited to continue blending every day and to explore even more fun recipes in the app. I really appreciate Jen H. for organizing this and being such an amazing motivator and support system for all of us who joined in the last 10 days. Thanks, Jen!
