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. 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.

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.

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 to get back on track. The recipes were easy w only few ingredients that I actually had ( occasionally had to buy more Organic greens but no big deal. The smoothies were very filling and sometimes I couldnt even finish them and put the leftover in fridge and added more ingredients the next day. I felt satiated. But most of all my clothes are fitting more comfortably๐Ÿค—. Im proud of myself for joining and sticking to the challenge

I joined the challenge to be more consistent in drinking green smoothies and to get more fruits and veggies in my diet. The recipes were delicious- much better than if I randomly selected ingredients myself. I am feeling good. Iโ€™m proud of making better food choices throughout the day.

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 didnโ€™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 canโ€™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 joined the challenge to get back on track with drinking a green smoothie every day. I loved every recipe and enjoyed trying new and different combinations of fruits and greens. I drank the smoothies as a mid morning snack around 10:30 or 11 a.m., but surprisingly found they held my appetite so I wasn’t having lunch until 2 or 3pm. They are so filling they could actually be a meal replacement. It was a great challenge for me! Thank you!

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 donโ€™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.

I joined the challenge to help me create healthier eating habits. I enjoyed the recipes, experimenting with what I liked and didnโ€™t like (none were unpalatable!). Definitely feel I am getting my greens and will continue to make the smoothies regularly. Thank you for offering this challenge.

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

This was a great challenge it really got me out of my smoothie rut. I always seem to put the same things in my smoothies. These changed up the flavors each day. It also made me start measuring the ingredients which I don’t usually do but have been thinking I needed to start. I really looked forward to trying the new smoothie each day. I will be trying the pre prepping as I think that would be a great way to have things ready and simplify mornings.
