This challenge is for you if…
Ten days, ten salads, and the shopping already worked out. Here’s who it’s really for.
Your salads have gone boring
The same leaves and bottled dressing every time. Ten days of recipes that taste like you meant it.
You want a real meal, not a side
Pasta salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables — hearty enough to be lunch and dinner.
You want more vegetables in your day
The easiest way to eat a lot of them, without turning the oven on most nights.
You hate wasting produce
One grocery list for the whole ten days, so the greens get used before they turn.
Lunch is the meal you skip
Something ready in the fridge beats whatever is quickest at one o’clock.
You like doing it with other people
A challenge with a start date, daily emails, and a crowd doing it alongside you.
What’s inside the challenge
Ten days of salads worth looking forward to, with the thinking already done.
Menu
10-day salad menu
A new one every day — Healthy Taco, Vegan Potato, Kale Caesar, Bright Berry. Each serves two, so dinner leaves lunch behind.
Groceries
One grocery list
Split across two trips, days 1–5 and 6–10, so the spinach never turns before you reach it.
Prep
A salad prep guide
Dressings made ahead in little jars, vegetables chopped and waiting. Then it is grab, toss and eat.
Emails
Motivation emails
Encouragement, quick tips and reminders from me, start to finish. We’re in this together.

GraceA note from Jen
Fuel your passion
It started with one green smoothie. That was the whole plan — one a day, every day, and let it add up. I was exhausted, stressed out and frustrated with my body, and a smoothie was the one thing I could manage.
Smoothies turned into soups, soups turned into salads, and eventually it turned into this. Somewhere along the way I stopped surviving each day and started living it — a backyard family farm, running across the Grand Canyon twice in a single day, hiking to the top of the tallest waterfall in North America with my kids.
What I’ve learned from all of it is that repetition and focus are what make results happen. So ten days of salads, one after another, will get you good at this — confident making salads that are filling, full of flavor, and that actually taste good.

FAQs
Two. Enjoy one for dinner and the other as lunch leftovers the next day, or do the challenge with someone and have exactly the right amount each day. The shopping list is worked out on that basis.
So your produce doesn’t go bad. You buy only what you need for the first five days, then shop again for days six to ten. There’s nothing enjoyable about opening a bag of rancid spinach.
Both, and that’s deliberate. Fruit salads, potato salads, garden salads — some are filling enough to be dinner on their own, others are better alongside something. It’s up to you which way you take each one.
Yes, and I’d recommend it. Make the dressings ahead and keep them in small airtight containers, and chop most of the vegetables and fruit in advance — just wait to wash until you’re ready to eat. Three recipes want nuts soaked the night before, so set a phone reminder.
Not at all. Keep drinking one right through the challenge — I will. The more plants, the merrier.
A ten-day salad menu, a done-for-you grocery list split across the two shopping trips, a salad prep guide, a full-colour interactive PDF, and a motivation email from me each day. It’s yours to keep and cook from again.

What people say after ten days of salads.
Excted!
I’m always looking for nutritious and yummy new salad ideas! Thank for the challenge! Refrigerator not quite empty.
Eat healthy
My experience with this 10 day challenge is a great idea to get people their attention that eating healthy is just a step in a right direction and the approach that we are taking is just a wonderful thing to do to become a healthy hero is what we are here for this is the moment of gratitude that we are so into this we have to fight for our rights and what we are as people to the world that we are enough of enjoying ourselves in this situation that we are in means we are strong and we are doing our very best to do so.
Challenge accepted!
Finishing up the 10 day Spring salad challenge. The recipes were all delicious. I love learning new recipes and trying different flavors. Admittedly I had some trouble staying motivated by day #8 but I did it! Thank you Simple Green Smoothies!
Fun and delicious challenge
This challenge was fun to be apart of! I am a huge smoothie lover already but haven’t been super creative lately so having these delicious healthy and easy recipes to go off of was great! I feel so much more energy at the end of this and my digestion is better than it has been in months!
The Amazing experience ever!!
I am vegetarian but never try to eat only veggies and fruits but this lady gives me an opportunity to explore new recipes and food. Never heard about Teragone but now it’s on my grocery list. I will definitely buy recipe books. Thanks…XOXO
Loved it
I thoroughly and completely enjoyed the saladchallenge. I have enjoyed all of the challenges this one especially I’m always looking for new ways to make salads and there were a few that surprised me. I learned a lot I commune with other people found a new friend and exercise every day. I hope you have this again one day! I love all the support everybody gives each other and the ideas everybody expresses it’s really a great idea and I’m so glad that I’m a part of it!
Great break from daily diet
I really enjoyed the plant based salads and learning some new tricks in the kitchen. Most of the recipes were super filling. I’m glad I bought the book and will make this a yearly event for sure.
Who knew a salad challenge wasn’t just for bunny rabbits!?!
At first I thought, “a salad challenge? Who, me?” But, them, I looked into the salads themselves. These were no bunny food only dishes! The variety would, and did, challenge my taste buds and expand my salad eating experience. Even making homemade dressings! To pick one favorite would be difficul. However, I will comment on the Bright Berry Salad because the pop of taste with sweet berries and more sour grapefruit is amazing, with a touch of mint. A great salad to add either almonds, as suggested, or granola! Yum!
Thanks for the inspiration!
During this challenge I gained inspiration to get back to walking. I set my daily goal to meet the minimum suggested for this challenge, which I met every day. This challenge has inspired me to resume my daily walks and I’m loving it, especially on those days I reached 2, 3, and 4 miles. I only made the salad on day one, but I’m an optimist and I see my success and keep moving forward. I’m determined to try every one of those recipes in the months ahead. Thank you for this challenge!
Super Run
Salads RULE!!!
Spring Salad Challenge
A great challenge to experiment with some salad recipes and ideas that are out of my comfort zone. Honestly, they weren’t all to my liking so I didn’t try all of them. The potato salad was great!
Smashing Salads!
All of the recipes are nutritious and satisfying! My favorite this time was the Lemon Arugula Salad because I loved that citrus and fennel combination. I enjoyed the recipes as always and again, the support from the Rawkstar community through posts of their salads etc. made this a fun challenge. I’ve now gotten more yummy recipes to add to my meal rotations and I’m loving vegan eating!
fun challenge and healthy too!
I enjoyed doing the challenge, loved the recipes and so did my family.
Super Salad Awesomeness
I enjoyed most of the recipes a lot. The challenge helped me break out of my salad rut and try some new combinations. My favorite was the walnut taco meat in the black bean taco salad. I don’t eat meat so that’s a nice simple substitute I’ll use again!
Feeling good
I just wanted to let you know that I am really excited to try more new salads. I was stuck in a rut with the same boring stuff. Now I am going to keep looking for new fun ideas. Thanks for getting me started. Mark Standing
