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 love this challenge. I’ve completed it a few times. The community is very supportive and encouraging. My joints don’t hurt and my energy level has definitely increased. I would recommend this challenge to everyone!

Absolutely love this smoothie challenge. Each recipe really tasty and I enjoyed using similar fruits in each which allows for not having a bunch of random leftovers. Having smoothies daily definitely gives me that energy boost and adding the homemade protein kept me full longer. SGS continues to be my green smoothie recipes!

I joined the challenge to focus on re-commiting myself to eating a more gut-friendly diet. The first few days, my digestive system was not happy (de-toxing ?), but yesterday and today I woke up early (like I used to) and felt great – full of energy and HAPPY. I’m proud to be giving myself the the gift of starting again, without admonishments or regrets. I am doing this for ME.

I joined the challenge because my immune system has taken a big hit since I started working as an elementary school substitute teacher. I love being around the little ones however I found myself getting viral infections that I never fully recovered from. I was tired of taking steroids and antibiotics and wanted to find a better way to help my immune system start to recover and for me to get my energy level back up. Also doing this challenge with a group of people holds me accountable! I liked this challenge because the smoothie ingredients were easy to access and affordable for me. They were so easy to blend up and the smoothies were so delicious and creamy smooth. After seven mornings of smoothies I feel lighter and have more energy that I’ve had in a very long time. I had so much energy this week that I went out bought ingredients for a new Gullah recipe for Chicken Purloo and invited friends over for dinner. I haven’t done that in a very long time. It felt so satisfying to entertain loved ones again. I even signed up for a Book Club! I am so happy with myself for completing this challenge and making a commitment to continue making smoothies as well as exploring new food challenges to incorporate into my lifestyle. I feel happy healthy and positive and have a renewed sense of hope for improving my immune system and my life!

I joined the challenge to get exposure to other smoothie recipes. Overall, all recipes were filling. There was one that I completely disliked. One that I thought would be my favorite but ended up being a disappointment. All the others ranged from ok to good. I appreciate the positive effects on my digestive system and believe incorporating helped increase my iron levels. I could feel my body making adjustments (regularity) throughout the week. I look forward to participating in future challenges!

Liked the daily direction to smoothie preparation, loved all the smoothies for the week.

I enjoyed this challenge! I have been drinking the green smoothies from your recipes for almost a year now but this got me back on track with a daily smoothie. I really like how this habit ensures that I get a healthy dose of fresh greens. I notice greater energy and better focus when I eat plant-based food and nurture myself with a healthy start to the day. I am blessed with good health and I want to foster that with smart food choices.

I joined the challenge to up my commitment to health. The recipes are easy and taste good. I’m proud of myself for sticking to my commitment!

Absolutely loved this challenge! It was just the nudge I needed to getting more plants in my daily diet. The smoothies were so easy to make, the grocery list was so helpful and the daily emails were the perfect simple reminder to me to stay on track. My mental clarity has improved, I’m feeling more energized and my joints are less achy! So much greatness! I’ve also now invested into 2 of your cookbooks and am excited to keep working more and more plants in to my diet!

Great smoothie recipes! Enjoyed that challenge and have signed up for the soup one too.

I joined this challenge to add more fresh, nutritious foods into my diet and to help boost my immune system. I loved the recipes in this challenge and was shocked at the fact that I could hardly taste the greens in any of the smoothies. After this challenge I feel like my immunity is stronger (I think I was fighting the flu when the challenge started, but I feel a lot better now!), I have a little more energy, and I haven’t been craving sugary snacks at night like usual. I’m proud that I made it through this challenge and I’m looking forward to continuing this healthy habit and encouraging others to try it💚💪

I enjoyed the challenge because I needed some new ideas.

This challenge was great- I enjoyed the different food combinations and loved how easy it was!

This was a really fun challenge that provided a healthy, delicious and filling meal replacement. I enjoyed the social sharing aspect too, getting ideas, feedback and friendly banter from others that want to improve their diet and feel better. I honestly do feel more energetic and was more conscious of what I was eating (choosing) for my other meals.

I needed a kickstart after a bad spell of respiratory issues. All recipes from the challenges are so helpful! I’m looking forward to soup challenge now. Smoothies are always energizing and healthy!
