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.
Reviews
What people say after ten days of salads.
Live the life of Green
I really enjoyed all the salads. I especially like the variety that I wouldn’t normally choose. I will continue to enjoy all the flavorness!
Challenge smallenge
It was so nice to get out of my same old boring routine and try something new!
Spring into Salads!
I was a little apprehensive going into this challenge because I didn’t know whether I’d realistically have the time to do all 10 salads in 10 days, but I quickly fell in love with the salads and learning a few new tricks, so I made the time every evening! I utterly enjoyed every single one of the salads and dressings and can’t wait to continue making them all again. I also found that it was easy to inspire and excite others between describing the salads and sharing my own photos of what I’d made and can’t wait to continue to do so with my own recipes in the future. This was the perfect way to welcome Spring!
not just your basic salads
I really enjoyed this challenge! It was so nice to have all the recipes, meal prep tips and shopping lists sent right to me. Took away a lot of the hassle I usually feel about making my own salads!
Rawking Deliciousness Challenge
Once again Jen and her Team have put together another great Challenge and Challenge it was. The combinations of tastes, texture and foods, some of which I haven’t put together before and then enjoyed, that took me out of my usual salad range. The support and friendliness in the FB Group was just so good, people sharing their photos and saying what they changed, liked, loved or didn’t like (myself included 😊) was so reassuring. The feedback was always encouraging and positive, what more could you want or need from a Challenge. Well there was more, an extra challenge, Run the Edge, this just took it up a notch to another level, the Team at RTE were very supportive and responsive to questions asked. Well done to everyone involved in this Simple Green Smoothie Salad Challenge.
Great recipes
I really liked the two recipes I received. I was looking forward to trying all of them
Greens for a lifetime
Love salads, they are a go to for me!!! Great incentive to live by!
Smoothies
Smoothies are my favorites
Confused but Curious
So when someone has week one and week 2 in their instructions we normally think of the standard definition of a week. 7 days. Monday to Sunday. My surprise when week 2 starts on the weekend. Suggestion: leave the weekend for shopping and preparing the next 5days. On the other hand did get to make some new salads and walnut “meat” new dressings and new ingredients: arugula and fennel. Definitely got me out of my comfort zone.
Excellent Program
It was good program
Inspirational!
Thank you for giving me fresh new salad ideas and motivating me to plant new things in my garden!
Rawkin
Thank you Jen for a fun, healthy, and tasty experience. Fun, healthy, delicious recipes, as always.
Fun!
Loved this challenge. It challenged me to eat salads that I would have never otherwise tried. It challenged me to eat healthier and more plant based. Looking forward to continuing down this road in the future. Thank you for all of the time and energy you put into getting this challenge put together.
Rawkstar Salad Challange
The Salad Challange was amazing! So many delicious recipes I never thought to try before! Can’t wait for the next one!
Smoothie Sailing
This was a fun and creative way to get more greens in my diet. I felt confident enough to make subtle substitutions with coconut water, coconut , and some exotic fruits. Thank you for the opportunity.
