We will definitely be hosting another Green Smoothie Challenge in the future…maybe we’ll even up the duration and do 14 or 30 days! I would love for everyone to post their final “favorite recipe/mix” in the comments section so that it can live on as a resource for green smoothie inspiration in the future.

Also, let us know how the challenge went for you. Did you finish all 7 Days? Is there anything we should do differently in the future!

Thanks for playing along!

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
