Mix It Up

I do a lot of Smoothies, but I was “in a rut.” This challenge helped me mix it up a bit. I tried new combinations and loved most of them. I’m definitely keeping the 10 recipes in my repertoire!

Energy in a glass that tastes great

I started making daily smoothies years ago when Jen sold 3×5 smoothie recipe cards. a challenge turned me on to flavors I had never had before. My “go to” is 1/2 banana, orange, 6 strawberries, kefir and spinach. So the ginger, turmeric and chocolate peanut butter were an amazing change. Thanks Jenn for doing these marvelous challenges.

Easy and fun – exactly what I need right now!

Loved this challenge. I got to experience some new delicious smoothie combos that I normally wouldn’t have done on my own (Honey Turmeric and Epic Almond Smoothies – you are now officially in my rotation!). I loved how everything was laid out from the beginning – the recipes and shoppings lists made it super simple to prepare. And the tips that Jen added to recipes (what to blend first, substitutions) helped a lot too!

Energize with a smoothie a day

To me this has been a rawkstar challenge!! If you see this review then don’t think twice about any of The Smoothie Challenges! Just do them for many reasons! This challenge has helped me gain energy, think and get healthier, fit comfortably into my clothes again and have the support from all the other challengers!! Each smoothie I tried will not be my last!! Combining this challenge with learning to eat more plant based has been an altering experience!! 5 stars from me from the easy shopping list to making the smoothie and drinking the goodness!!Would have never used some of these ingredients without the challenge!! Again thanks to Jen for sharing and being there for us all!!

OH for the sweet love of smoothies!

I will be completely honest and say that I loved EVERY SINGLE recipe in the smoothie challenge. The one that surprised me maybe the most was Perfect Lemon Smoothie. Oh so fresh! Also feel like a have a rhythm down for a daily smoothie in the future. I’m keeping these recipes open on my computer so I can pick one to make each day. Thank you for a wonderful event and great ideas.

Freshness delivered

I purchased the book with all the challenges. I love the variety that reflects the season. I appreciate the shopping list which makes it easy to make sure I have the correct ingredients. What a wonderful way to keep wholesome foods in my diet. I hope to say “I have done this every day for the past 20 years” in 2042.

SHEDDING FAT not personality

Coupled with a ‘no alcohol’ month to give the liver a break from the end of year festivities, the challenge wasn’t even remotely difficult…there are so many smoothie possibilities… green and using cilantro make it seem like a green salsa on top of Mexican foods… and I love Bloody (Virgin) Mary’s so spicing up the tomato juice smoothies was a pleasure to drink. Vitamix makes this soooo damn easy.

Healthier than a month of sundaes!

I do make a breakfast smoothie for us every morning — been doing it since getting my first Vitamix 25+ years ago. Maybe that’s why we’re pretty healthy here in our late 70s! Given our many food sensitivities and allergies, I found that I had to sub several of the ingredients, especially the berries and the veggies. I had to create my own combos when there were too many ingredients that didn’t work for us. It would be helpful when providing a recipe to suggest alternatives to most of the ingredients, as well as explanations as to why some combinations work synergistically better than others. Otherwise, it was really great to experience smoothie combos that I would not normally have come up with on my own.
