10-Day Salad Challenge

I started my daily smoothie routine when Jen published her first book many years ago. After all of these years it is exciting to still have new ones to try. The Best Green Smoothie is a favorite of mine. I seldom buy watermelon, so the Watermelon Smoothie was a super fun and delicious new recipe that I will continue to make. Thanks Jen.

This was a fun, healthy challenge that I would do again! There were combinations I wouldn’t have thought about doing before. There were some familiar flavor profiles as well. I appreciated the shopping list ahead of time so I knew what I needed and didn’t have to run out that morning or the night before.

I looked forward to each morning to what I would be blending up. It gave me a purpose to get out of bed.

Very enjoyable smoothies, different ingredients than I usually use and I’ll continue to make these.

I am a huge smoothie and smoothie bowl person – I make smoothies or bowls almost everyday using my vitamix! I’m also vegetarian and love plant based eating! I joined to challenge to learn more about great and easy smoothie making and to add variety to the smoothies and bowls I make. The challenge added great and yummy variety to my routine. It also motivated me to make more and stick to my healthy eating goals. The freeze ahead ideas are great too! Really enjoyed the challenge!!

I got to try pomegranate juice and took a leap of faith with added cauliflower to my smoothies. I’ll definitely use cauliflower in future blends.

The Summer Smoothie Challenge was incredible! I honestly can’t believe it was free. I first discovered it through Vitamix and thought it would be a great way to get more use out of my blender. I’m so glad I joined. My biggest surprise was the Strawberry Protein Shake—I never imagined I’d actually look forward to drinking a protein shake! Jen makes healthy eating feel fresh, fun, and delicious while teaching nutrition in a way that really makes sense for women like me. I can’t thank the Simple Green Smoothies team enough!

Smoothies are such an easy way to increase fruit and vegetable intake. I really enjoy doing the challenges because they force me out of my comfort zone to try new flavor combos. Each day is a new experiment and it’s fun to taste test the results!

I always enjoy trying new recipes and it helped me to add some summer flavors to my rotation of menu planning.

I loved how easy this challenge made it to add more greens to my day. The recipes were fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly filling — I never felt deprived. It’s helped me make healthier choices without feeling like a chore, and I’ve noticed more energy and better digestion since starting.

I loved the variety of recipes to make great tasting smoothies that aren’t your boring usual ones. I appreciated the look at the nutrition and the benefits of each ingredient. The swap suggestions in the recipes were really helpful too! I struggle with having enough time for breakfast in the morning, but being able to make delicious smoothies quickly and being able to drink those at my desk is a huge win for me!

I loved getting the shopping list early, and being prepared. I did sub a few things, but it was neat to see how different they tasted. It’s a great time to year to try this! A couple of them will be made several times this summer, I’m sure!

Smoothies have been a part of my diet for many years. This challenge isn’t my first. I have been off my game for a while due to life stresses I’m doing this challenge to help get me back on track, to make healthy choices and take care myself before taking care of others. Having my daily smoothie helps me make better choices throughout the day. I have been feeling so much better since starting this challenge.

I found this smoothie and hydration challenge to be the perfect start to the summer. So many delicious smoothies that really transported me back to memorable vacations. It was fun trying new smoothies I had not had before. Jen Hansard amazes me every time we do a challenge. When I think I have had every smoothie there is to be had, she breaks out some new ones I have never had, and they are ALWAYS delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever had a smoothie I didn’t like created by her! I love making up batches of her smoothies, freezing them, and having them ready for consumption. I usually make about 14+! They are fantastic to have made up and ready to go on days I haven’t had a chance to make anything else to eat for lunch or dinner. Plus, with summer here, they are just refreshing to have on hot days without guilt, because they are so good for you nutritionally. Another bonus, smoothies really help you meet your water needs. I really appreciate the work Jen puts into each of her recipes to make sure they are nutritionally sound and healthy. I don’t have to think about it!!! Highly recommend

Very refreshing and easy to make. Enjoyed making them all.

The challenge was fun and inspiring. I had gotten away from making smoothies and it was so refreshing getting back into it. I felt really good about adding more fruits and vegetables to my diet. I really love the cauliflower hack, as it gave the smoothies that milkshake like consistency. I will look forward to keeping up the healthy clean recipes and look forward to grabbing a copy of your book. Thank you so much

I did the 5 day challenge. I enjoyed all the smoothies. I have looked at a lot of your recipes and am interested in following a plant based diet. I haven’t been totally doing it but want to get better at it.

I got stuck making the same smoothies over and over. Life got challenging, and I got stuck doing the same morning routine. Thank you for helping get me out of my rut. I know having differing foods in my diet is helpful to overall health, sometimes we just need that push from an amazing community:)

Loved them! Used to drink smoothies so it wa nice to get back in the habit!

This challenge helped me try new ideas for smoothies. I’m always winging my smoothies with basically the same ingredients. And even though they turn out good they tend to taste somewhat the same. I had the opportunity to try new combinations and they were amazing!
