Green Smoothie Health Benefits

Enjoy green smoothie recipes that boost energy levels, promote vitality and improve overall health. When you commit to drinking our nutritionally-crafted smoothie recipes each day, you’re giving your body nutrient-rich fruits, fiber-packed veggies and hydrating liquids.ย The long-term health benefits that can come from blending a daily smoothie are incredible.

Natural Energy Boost

Blending the cell walls of fruits and vegetables releases natural sugars and plant fibers to give you sustained energy without the jitters or a crash.

Stronger Immune system

Consuming fruits and veggies high in vitamins A and C boost the immune system, which is your bodyโ€™s natural defense system against infections and viruses.

Improved digestion

The fiber found in green smoothies acts as an internal broom to help digested food inside your body โ€œmove along,โ€ which can help with bloating, acne and weight loss.

Healthier Cravings

Green smoothies are loaded with hydration, vital nutrients, plant protein and fiber, keeping you nourished and satisfied until the next meal. Swap a meal for a green smoothie to help with weight loss.

Glowing skin

Blending leafy greens into your smoothie adds a boost of calcium and chlorophyll, which help purge toxins, replenishes cells and revitalizes your skin.

Green Smoothie Challenge Results

The Green Smoothie Challenge is a simple way to kick start healthy eating habits. Hear how some have used this challenges to create momentum in their overall health.

I started green smoothies on a whim thinking I definitely could use more veggies in my life about a year ago. Now I can’t go a day without my green smoothie in the morning.

Marie Yamazaki

I have dappled in juicing & smoothies this last year, but have not made it a habit. Now, I make green smoothies every morning and take as a snack during my morning break. I feel better & less tired during the day since this has gotten me to stop eating crackers, granola and pretzels.

Robin Woodroof

These are the best recipes I’ve tried for green smoothies. I think the ratio of fruits to greens is what really works for me. I feel like I have tons more energy, and they help me maintain my weight. I love that smoothies taste like dessert, but they’re actually healthy for you! Even my toddler loves them!

Ashley Yagg

So easy! I was skeptical because I’m a very picky eater, but I gave it a shot. I can honestly say that I am officially on the daily smoothie train to stay!

I joined the challenge because I love a challenge and I love smoothies. This way I was sure I would be motivated to have one every day and be excited to try some fun new recipes. The recipes were delicious!! They were so satisfying I was full for hours. I have felt so clear headed and energized. I donโ€™t wake up groggy I donโ€™t need coffee anymore and my skin looks more radiant. Iโ€™m so proud I rated and commented on every smoothie because Iโ€™m normally not a person to post my thoughts but I was so excited about the smoothies!! I plan to keep it going. WooHoo!!!

Joined the challenge to experience for myself the benefits from incorporating at least one green smoothie into my diet a day. The recipes were tasty and delicious. Each day, I looked forward to waking up to check my email for the new smoothie recipe. I noticed, skin, hair and nails improved. I felt less food cravings, less snacking, fuller, and more energetic; and I had an incredible sense of pride that grew stronger each day simply because I stayed committed.

I joined the challenge to try more recipes. They all were fantastic! What surprised me is how much I learned about adding different ingredients and the many flavors they produce. I could taste specific ingredients. I am finding that fruits and vegies are so flavorful. One day, my husband made a scrambled egg for me along side the smoothie. It tasted quite bland compared to the smoothie ๐Ÿ™‚ With the smoothies for breakfast, I feel full, but not bloated. And I start something afterward and have more energy to finish it. I just keep working ๐Ÿ™‚ I have decided to have Green Smoothies most mornings for breakfast! What fun!

I joined the challenge as I have in the past to feel better and to have more energy. My daughter was coming to visit so we both completed it today together. We loved the recipes, yum! We both felt fulfilled and not hungry all day. Iโ€™m proud to have completed it and will continue making green smoothies everyday. Glad to be back on track!! Thanks.

I joined the challenge to get a reset on the foods Iโ€™d been eating making me feel bloated and sluggish. Iโ€™m hoping to lose a few pounds and get rid of the inflammation throughout my body. I absolutely loved every smoothie recipe and will definitely be making them all again. Also thankful for the tip to blend greens and water first then add the other ingredientsโ€ฆ..GAME CHANGER. Iโ€™ve got a great momentum going, feeling energized, and even down 5 pounds already. I plan on continuing on this path to improved health and nutrition and am going to start the soup challenge next. Iโ€™ve got a new mindset going forward, so thank you for that and I wish you well on your journey of improving the health of the world one smoothie and bowl of soup at a time!!

I’m so glad I joined this challenge! Even though I’m no stranger to smoothies I had gotten lazy over the Covid years. After only a week my skin looks much better. The recipes are not complicated and it’s easy to have everything on hand. The video with you doing counter pushups and jumping jacks while the smoothie was blending inspired me to do the same. What a great idea to do this challenge. Thank you!

I joined the challenge to get new ideas for smoothies & to get out of the rut of eating just oats for my breakfast. The recipes were great & I felt healthy & light through the whole week. I never felt too full or bloated. I’m proud of myself because I’m putting yummy real & nourishing foods in my body that I feel good about. Also, I didn’t let myself down because I committed to finish this challenge & it always feels awesome when you accomplish what you set out to do.

As someone who loves smoothies already I joined the challenge to get new ideas for flavour combinations and recipes. I thought that each smoothie was delicious and clearly well thought out! I donโ€™t always drink smoothies daily so the challenge got me back into something I enjoy which Iโ€™m grateful for! Sometimes we fall off on habits that are nourishing for us. So after this challenge I can attest that I feel more nourished and vibrant! These smoothies gave me the energy I needed to get through these colder days which usually have me in a bit of a slump when the weather changes. Iโ€™m feeling good and with a renewed love for smoothies! Iโ€™m proud of myself for committing to my well-being and health in a simple but potent way. Thank you for coordinating this!

I joined this challenge to increase my intake of vegetables and fruits, working toward healthier eating habits. These smoothies pushed me to try things I donโ€™t normally eat and I found that I like some of them. I also am pleased that I followed the plan consistently. Consuming the smoothie each day helped me get back to eating when I was hungry and not just to eat. This was a great week and I plan on incorporating these recipes into my weekly routine.

This was a fun challenge. I wanted to see if making a smoothy everyday was possible for me. The recipes were simple and tasted great. I have noticed less snacking/ craving. Committing is the hardest part, and taking little steps to my goal makes it all easier. I only need a better blender so my smoothies are smooth.
