Young and Raw 30 Day Smoothie Challenge
As I mentioned in my April’s goals, I’m doing Young and Raw‘s 30 Day Smoothie Challenge! Before I say anything more, I’d like to clarify a couple of questions people have been asking me about this smoothie challenge.
Is it free? Yes! The 30 day smoothie challenge is free! You can sign up here.
Are the smoothies a meal replacement/diet? No! This is in no way a diet! The smoothies are not meant to replace a meal. However, they are full of yummy fruits and veggies, so you could easily drink one for a light lunch!
I signed up for this smoothie challenge as a way to incorporate some new healthy foods into my diet! If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I love to try new things! So far, I’m really enjoying this challenge, it’s reminding me that I need to stay open minded and sometimes disciplined when it comes to food! For the next few Friday’s I’ll be posting a smoothie recipe from the week so that you can try one at home if you’d like!
My favorite smoothie was today’s! It was very fruity and fresh and I absolutely loved the splash of orange! Here is the recipe:
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 orange
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 handful parsley
- 1 cup coconut or regular water
The smoothie in the photo was on the first day and let me tell you, it was ROUGH. I’m not a picky eater by any means, but I was plugging my nose trying to choke this one down. However, I did drink it all and I felt great afterwards! Here was this recipe for any brave souls that want to try it:
- 1 banana
- 3 leaves kale
- 1 handful parsley
- 1 inch knuckle ginger
- 1 cup coconut water or regular water
If you have any other questions about this smoothie challenge, send them my way and I’ll do my best to answer them!
