Green Smoothie Challenge

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 don’t wake up groggy I don’t need coffee anymore and my skin looks more radiant. I’m so proud I rated and commented on every smoothie because I’m normally not a person to post my thoughts but I was so excited about the smoothies!! I plan to keep it going. WooHoo!!!

Grateful for the supportive community counting on me to blend a healthy treat everyday kale yeah!

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.

Loved the simple, nutritious recipes. Filled my son and me full of energy! Thank you so much.

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 🙂 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 🙂 I have decided to have Green Smoothies most mornings for breakfast! What fun!

I really enjoyed this green smoothie challenge!! All the smoothies were very tasty. I love that I can get some good greens in my body so easily. I plan on trying to keep having a smoothie every day.

I really liked this. The ingredients were so easy and this motivated me to make the smoothies.

I joined the challenge because I needed a re-set in my smoothie life! I got lazy and only made smoothies 1-2 days a week vs my normal 5-7. I like all of the recipes but didn’t really like the lacinato kale! Have to get use to that taste! I feel GREAT! always see a difference in my skin and also noticed how my appetite was curved alot! I am most proud of my family doing this with me! My husband son daughter-in-love and daughter joined me and they all can’t believe how good they feel! Thank you for this platform and being able to hear all those who participated with their comments and challenges.. very inspiring. We all want better health to be around as long as we can for family! Thanks again!

I took the challenge to find some new green smoothie recipes and because it’s an easy and quick way to get my greens in for the day. Here is how I would rank this week’s selection of smoothies (best to not as good): #1 Detox Smoothie – Best one of the week! (used all spinach and no kale as I had no kale available) #2 Kale Smoothie – it was my favorite until I had the detox smoothie (had to use spinach as there was no kale available) #3 Island Green Smoothie – this was good, and I will do this one again (I also used pureed grapes instead of the coconut water and added oats and almonds to make it a meal replacement) #4 Avocado Banana Smoothie – this was good too (however, didn’t use avocado because I don’t like it – used peaches instead + 1/2 water and 1/2 pureed grapes because I had those available) #5 Best Green Smoothie – this one was ok but nothing special (I guess it’s basically the detox smoothie with added banana – guess I don’t care for the banana in it because I really liked the detox smoothie?) #6 Green Apple Smoothie – it was ok but thin and foamy?? (that may be because I used peaches instead of avocado, which I don’t like – may try it again using mango instead of the avocado which may make it thicker?) #7 Strawberry Mango Smoothie – least favorite and sort of boring (I had been looking forward to this one because I love strawberries but perhaps my organic frozen strawberries were too old and therefore tasteless? may have to try this again with better strawberries?) Overall, the smoothies were good – I’ve had ones that were barely drinkable, but these were all tolerable, or good, or great. I didn’t really notice any changes because I am WFPB anyway and often do smoothies for breakfast. I think I’m most proud of myself for drinking the Fat Burning Smoothie for Weight Loss every day at lunch (after having one of the “challenge” smoothies at breakfast). The reason for this is because I don’t really care for grapefruit so that was a bit strong – but I drank one every day along with this challenge. Thanks for including that recipe on your website. Thanks so much for putting this together!!! Loved having the grocery list too. Also, thanks for checking in everyday! That was very helpful to keep up the motivation and to be able to read everyone else’s comments (and adjustments – some great idea)

I’ve been making green smoothies for years, but these recipes were amazing! Learned some new tricks to making better smoothies and even some new flavor combinations. I was stuck in a rut of making the same smoothies repeatedly. Thank you Simple Green Smoothies for giving me the boost I needed.

I liked the challenge. I liked the new variety of smoothies. Will keep them for my smoothie rotation. I always feel good when I drink smoothies.

I have been a member of Rawk the Year for just about a year. I started by doing challenges with Simple Green Smoothies and then joined Rawk the Year. I love it. I like having access to so many recipes and really enjoy meal planning. Grocery List is also an excellent feature. I love the way I feel when drinking a daily smoothie and eating plant based. I don’t find myself mindlessly eating whatever is in front of me like I used to because I am so satisfied with the meals I am consuming. Cravings for sugar and junk food is almost non existent. I still have my weak moments. I wish I could get my sisters interested in this lifestyle. I know they would feel so much better.

A lovely intro to juicing and seeing it wasn’t as complicated as I thought. I’ve decided a juice a day is the way to go

My friend invited me and it was nice to do it along with someone else. I liked almost all of the recipes – just can’t do kale although the other items masked the flavor. I lived learning different things that can be used. Proud to do it for myself!

Thank you so much!!! I loved all the smoothies BUT I have to say my absolute favorite was “Island Green Smoothie”!!! This has been a life changing week for me!!! Now!!! I am sooo totally happy that I did the challenge!!! I feel sooo much better that I am planning on making smoothies an everyday part of my life!!! I did buy the first Nama juicer years ago and absolutely LOVED it, and now this new one sounds sooo absolutely amazing to have the opportunity to own!!! Plus my plan is to do every single challenge I’ve found on your website! I even ordered a copy of your book “Simple Green Smoothies” and I bought the Vitamix Hand Blender which just came in a few days ago😍 I am sooo excited to get started on this amazing healthy plant based way of life with all the amazingly easy recipes which look so healthy and appetizing! The NEW Nama will be sooo totally helpful in my health journey to feeling Absolutely Amazing💗💗💗 I have totally LOVED your website, the video’s, the write-ups and all the healthy information shared! Thanks a million!!!

I joined the Smoothies challenge to try and change things up a bit. I love smoothies but I was eating a lot of oats and wanted to include some more fruits and veggies. I did like most of the recipes; the ones I didn’t like as much I know I could tweak. I feel great. I do feel like I had a little extra bit of energy and the main change is it’s been helping me wake up earlier. I am proud that I just stuck with it. Day 7 was a busy day and I ended up having the smoothie for dinner, so I was able to get that last one in. Overall, this was a very good and doable challenge. It’s fun to do with others in a community.

The challenge was great!! I loved trying new recipes and also some of my favorites! Starting my day with a smoothie puts me in a great mood and gives me lots of energy for the busy day ahead! Thank you for helping me stay on track by keeping my motivation high!!

I joined to commit to healthier breakfasts! Loved loved the recipes they are satisfying delicious and I feel energized! I’m proud I stayed with this challenge for 7 days and maintained an inventory of frozen fruit and fresh greens! Looking forward to “rawking” the rest of the month and beyond. Thanks for the challenge!!

I had a lot more energy and I got in more fruits and veggies than I normally do on a typical day.

I have enjoyed the different flavors of each smoothie!! It feels so good knowing that you’re fueling your body with wholesome ingredients. I have had great energy levels all week!!!
