Common Questions
It’s completely up to you to decide what time of day to enjoy your smoothie. I prefer to have it in the morning as my breakfast to start each day with a healthy foundation. I tend to have better eating habits throughout the day when I start with a green smoothie. You might prefer to have it as an afternoon “pick-me-up” or even as a nourishing dinner or satisfying dessert to curb a sweet tooth cravings.
Over the years, I’ve tried almost all of the plant-based protein powders (tons of companies send them to me for free to test out), and I never found one that I absolutely loved. They were filled with sweeteners, gums and artificial flavors— or were gritty and gross. So, I decided to make my own clean and affordable recipe using hemp, chia and flaxseeds. It has a complete amino acid profile boosted with omega 3’s to promote muscle growth and curb the appetite. Get my homemade protein powder recipe on the blog and use it during the challenge.
You can absolutely swap spinach for another leafy green (or two!) of your choice. The goals is to blend at least 1 cup of leafy greens into each smoothie to reap the benefits of the chlorophyll and fiber. Check out our Leafy Greens Guide to explore all the options and learn more about the health benefits of adding greens to your smoothies.
Prepping for this challenge is completely optional. If you have plenty of time in your day to blend from scratch— great. Yet for those who are up and running 90 mph immediately, making prep ahead smoothies will save you precious time and help you complete this challenge. When it comes to prepping, I like to use wide-mouth mason jars. Put the fruit in first and the greens in last. Do NOT add any liquid to your smoothie packs. You’ll add the liquid right before you blend. Check out two great resources, Meal Prep Smoothies and DIY Frozen Smoothie Packs for more ideas.
