Smoothie Challenge Favorite: Berry Cherry Jubilee

Berry Cherry Jubilee, from the lades over at SimpleGreenSmoothies.com.
Longing for a change of pace, I decided to check out the recipes SimpleGreenSmoothies.com is offering as part of the April 30-Day Smoothie Challenge.

The Berry Cherry Jubilee piqued by interested, and just happened to include ingredients I already had on hand: berries, cherries, banana, spinach, chia seeds and water. It's sweet and refreshing, perfect for spring as the weather begins to turn warmer.

This was a family favorite with Lily rapidly slurping hers down. If you're looking for a sweet treat with your daily dose of greens, head on over to Simple Green Smoothies and check out this recipe and sign up for the challenge yourself.

Join Me: 30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge

simplegreensmoothies.com
When I recommitted to a plant-based lifestyle, my ultimate goal was a simple one: I just wanted to put more good stuff into my body each day to leave less room for bad stuff. I figured green smoothies would be a good start. I can drink way more vegetables over the course of a day than I could ever eat.

My all-time favorite recipe is Kimberly Snyder's Glowing Green Smoothie, which is featured in "The Beauty Detox Solution." However, when setting out to do something consistently, you have to account for boredom. A quick search of the Internet let me to a 30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge by Jen and Jadah over at Simple Green Smoothies. Joining their challenge was easy, and it meant weekly emails with shopping lists and recipes. Some I tried and some I didn't, but having access to them made a world of difference in helping me to successfully complete the challenge.

I'm still drinking one to two smoothies a day, sometimes in place of a meal. Other times, as a snack. It's been a great habit that has even rubbed off on others who have had positive results similar to mine. Jen and Jadah are at it again with another 30-day challenge, which kicks off April 1. I'm already signed up, and I'm looking forward to trying some new things and continuing my commitment to yet another month of healthier living.

Join me by signing up online and checking out the free eBook that comes with your registration. You still have a couple of weeks to get ready and plan to track your results.
