The first seven days of the Green Smoothie April Challenge are behind us! It’s been so fun to see all of your tags on Instagram and Twitter. Keep them coming!!! Remember to use the hashtag #GreenSmoothieApril and tag me @jdecurtins.

Y’all have made some really great looking and sounding smoothies and I’m definitely going to do a round up of some of the most interesting (check out that salt rimmed one in the first row above!).

Here’s a recap of my first week of green! I had my smoothie for breakfast every morning. I know there’s a better chance of getting it in if I just knock it out first thing. Also, it’s such a refreshing way to start the day and light enough not to sit heavy in your stomach if you have a workout planned (or perfect post-workout recovery!).

Day 1

– Almond milk
– Banana
– Plain Greek yogurt
– Frozen strawberry/mango/peach blend
– Spinach
– Bolthouse Farms Green Goddess Juice

Day 2

PB & J inspired and purple thanks to lots of blueberries.

– Almond milk
– Banana
– Blueberries
– Peanut butter
– Spinach
– Plain Greek yogurt

Day 3

I restocked on some of my most favorite smoothie ingredients at Whole Foods on Wednesday so Thursday’s smoothie was extra delicious.

– Almond milk
– Banana
– Frozen mango and peaches
– Dates
– Freshly ground almond butter
– Plain Greek yogurt
– Spinach

Day 4

Same combo as Wednesday but I dressed it up in a mason jar.

Day 5

I have been dying to try fresh ginger in my smoothies because I love it so much in my green juice. It was awesome! I loved this smoothie and it was almost more like juice than smoothie. Recipe coming soon! 🙂

Day 6

Day 5’s ginger smoothie was so good I had to repeat it again.

Day 7

Rainy Monday smoothie to wrap up day 7. I went back to the date and almond butter combo from days 3 and 4 but used kale instead of spinach.

My goal for the next 7 days is to continue to mix it up and try new recipes and ingredients. Some things I’m considering include…

– Matcha powder
– Protein powder
– Spirulina
– Cinnamon
– Chocolate variation
– Lime juice
– Avocado

Let me know if you have any questions or special requests. I love playing around and making new recipes and flavor combos.

What was your best smoothie of the first seven days? What is an ingredient you haven’t used that you’d like to try?
