As seen in

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

A 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

How many does each salad serve?

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.

Why is the shopping list split in two?

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.

Are these meals, or side dishes?

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.

Can I prep ahead?

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.

Do I have to stop my daily smoothie?

Not at all. Keep drinking one right through the challenge — I will. The more plants, the merrier.

What do I actually get for $17?

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.

Loved the different salad ideas. I have always loved salads, but got some new recipe ideas minus the cheese. Thanks for the yummy recipes and salad dressings.
