Incredible healthy challenge

I’m very thankful Jen for such amazing marafon! I was familiar with smoothies before but I’m tired from my old recipes. I wanted some fresh air in it. So Jen was right in the time 👍 My favourite smoothie becomes – strawberry banana smoothie! This is the winner. And I understood that “milky” smoothies are the best for my family. Also I will continue immune support smoothies. Perfect lemon smoothie was new for me I want to get to know them better. Thank you Jen one more time for unforgettable experience!

RAWKSTAR REALNESS!!!

I can’t believe it has been 10 days already I guess time flies when you’re having fun drinking delicious and nutritious smoothies with Rawkstars all over the world. I have actually never completed a nutrition challenge until now which is my first with Simple Green Smoothies and won’t be my last! The smoothies were not only tasty they were easy to follow and make! Buying the ingredients didn’t break the bank and I learned so much from the recipes and the Rawkstar community around how to switch and swap ingredients! Not only did I actually excel in not wasting and using what I have this smoothie challenge helped to jump start my families plant-based journey! Hands down this challenge has one of the BEST RAWKSTAR communities ever super supportive AND even the SGS Admin read love and comment on everyone’s post! Although it is the end of this smoothie challenge it is just the beginning of our new plant-based life! #Grateful! Thank you SGS for a life changing experience may there be many more to come!!!

Learned something

I had never combined fruits and vegetables together in smoothies , so your recipes encouraged me to expand my thinking. I found them to be delicious and nutritious which is very important to me and family. Planning to continue the challenge on my own and perhaps come up with new recipes I can enjoy. Thanks for inspiring me and showing me a different way.

I’ve done this challenge almost every year for the last 11 years!

I love the New Year Smoothie Challenge! It’s just the post-holiday reset that I need. I love prepping the smoothies with my kids, who eat a ton of the frozen fruit while we prep. My freezer is happy and my morning routine is happy for the 10 day kickstart! My favorite recipe this year was the Peanut Butter Chocolate Smoothie. I tossed in a few oats and greens to boost it even more. It’s so filling and so delicious. My picky 4 year old even drank a small cup (counting that as a huge win). I have the simple green smoothie and simple green meals cookbooks and they are my to go for delicious recipes that aren’t too complicated on hectic weeknights.

Great challenge

I love these challenges! It really helps me get into the groove, lifts my energy and makes me feel great. Theres a good variety of smoothies each day, some I loved, some not so much, but at least I tried them.

Always Look on the Blender Side of Life!

I am thrilled at the energy boost I got from my fruit smoothie each morning and then the boost I got from one of the green smoothies, instead of a cup of coffee! I appreciate the recipes with ingredients I would not have thought if like tumeric. I feel imbued with a new love of smoothies!

Infused New Life Into My Smoothie Habit

I signed up for this challenge as my husband and I were in a smoothie rut. We’d do the same smoothie over and over. And we put so many things into it that you don’t really have a unique flavour. So I was happy to try 10 different recipes. And they were all great! Now I have many choices to shake up our routine and get excited again about smoothies! Thank you Jen!

A great way to try out green smoothies!

I’ve been blending smoothies for years (many from the original Simple Green Smoothies book) and I still found some new and fun ideas here. I had to switch some recipes up to accommodate my GERD, but even with that they worked well and tasted great. My husband would drink the other half of the daily smoothie and he said “It’s like I’m on a smoothie adventure!” Thanks for the ten day kickstart, I enjoyed it. I really liked the Honey Turmeric Smoothie, and I froze some carrots just to make it.

Eye Opener Body Booster

Never would have believed that simply adding fresh and frozen multi vitamin and mineral loaded ingredients to my Vitamix every morning could make such a difference in my feeling of well being. I expected a boost, but received an explosion. No hunger and cravings for hours. Well done, Simple Green Smoothies.

Smoothies are a great way to get your vegetables and a full meal replacement. Keep up the great work that you and your team do.

Smooth the Day

The weekly Grocery list helped to drive the challenge to completion. I had adjusted few of the ingredients based on my taste preference.

Who knew?

Who knew that plant based smoothies could be so amazingly good and filling! I was initially skeptical about this challenge, but became a believer after finishing the challenge and bought the book. The combination of ingredients is unique and healthy. My favorites were the Beginner’s Luck Smoothie, the Meal Replacement Smoothie, and the Pre Workout Smoothie. All were delicious and served as a meal replacement for me. I typically drank my smoothies for lunch (around noon), and did not start feeling hungry until early evening (after 6 p.m.). All the smoothies also gave me a lot of energy. I luckily already had a Vitamix Blender, which I purchased back in 2012. This challenge gave me a reason to use my Vitamix! No smoothie I’ve made in the past are good as these smoothies. I would encourage everyone to get on board the plant based smoothie train–you won’t regret it! Who knew?

Pump Up the Fruit and Veggie Jam

This challenge was so much fun . The fact that I could pump more fruits and veggies into my body in a quick, easy way with no fancy ingredients encouraged me to try to eat healthier throughout the day. I also loved the FB group and encouragement.
