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 body’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 “move along,” 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!

They’re designed to be approachable, encouraging, and focused on progress over perfection while helping you discover new favorites.
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 doing the Smoothie Challenge. I love that they were all green smoothies. The recipes were really nice. They were very similar day over day but just different enough to change it up a bit. I like that they used similar ingredients too; otherwise my freezer is full of so many different fruits! I feel great afterwards. My only issue is that I’ve been only having protein powder with almond milk alongside my coffee in the mornings. I since replaced my protein powder and almond milk with the smoothies and I swear that I get hungrier for lunch and dinner earlier in the day. I’m not sure how I feel about that. LOL The biggest thing I noticed is that by day 3 I was going #2 daily (instead of every 1.5/2 days). I would assume it’s because I’m getting more fiber in my body. I did think there was a lot of fruit for the smoothies but I’d rather have a lot of sugar from fruit vs a candy bar or refined sugars. I am proud that I dedicated to doing this every day. I used to make smoothies daily for over two years straight. I got tired of prepping it so I stopped. But I know that I feel better when I’m getting more vitamins in my body. This was a win for me!
I joined the challenge because I wanted to learn more about making smoothies especially green smoothies. The recipes were all good and importantly the options/alternatives were useful in understanding more abouts how to create/modify the smoothie. I also am very appreciative of the comments about why the particular ingredients were included to achieve an overall effect.
I joined the challenge to find new recipes for green smoothies. I loved the recipes! Afterward, I feel energized and satiated. I had more energy throughout the entire day and didn’t need any coffee. I am proud of myself for the inspiration I got out of this and believing this is so doable for the future!!!
I wanted to get back into drinking smoothies and getting in greens so this was a great challenge. The recipes were great. I don’t usually use pineapples in my smoothies so that was a nice mix. Glad to have new recipes!!
It was an challenge that I enjoyed the various favor shakes. I feel lighter and will stick to daily shakes. Thank you
I’ve been following simple green smoothie for years but it’s been a while since I participated in a challenge. This challenge happened to come at the right time! I loved the flavor combinations and creamy textures. It made me feel good knowing I was doing this one small daily activity to live a healthier life. The mood boost is amazing! The camaraderie amongst the partipants is amazing. There’s a reason why I keep coming back. I love Simple Green Smoothies!🍍🥭🍌🍊🍓🍏🥑

Absolutely love all the recipes for the challenge!! The detox smoothie was delicious!!
Great recipes. Perfect and helpful informations. Just follow and taste. I recommend!
The challenge left me feeling inspired. Physically I feel less bloated with more energy. Perfect week for it too with a sick kid. I am proud I was able to put myself first this week and stick to something I was in need of.
The chance to win prizes always motivates me! I love the simple recipe ideas and appreciate the flexibility of using what I have on hand. This challenge was a great way to get back on track with mindful, healthy eating. I’ll continue incorporating green smoothies into my diet going forward – and my kids love them too!
I had never had a green smoothie in my life, up until a week ago! I had tried Fit for Life 30 years ago and decided that I could do a week of smoothies and see what happened. Wow! The ease to make and drink so much goodness for my body is wonderful. I am weaning myself of sugar, which is actually easier if I have a smoothie in the morning as I don’t have the cravings. An all-round amazing experience, a change I am look forward to continuing for my health!
I loved this challenge. I’m not new to the challenges but this one I really liked because it was a small reset right before the holidays. Now we’re going to need one after the holidays Thankyouverymuch.😊
