I am not really a juice/smoothie person. I would like to eat my vegetables and fruits as a whole, but this post got my hooked up and I think I want to give it a try.

I hopped over to Simple Green Smoothies and signed up for their 30 day challenge.

This is how it works:

#1: Drink at least one green smoothie per day (1 green smoothie = 16 ounces). The recipes make 2 servings— so you can share with a friend,  save the other half for a snack or half the recipe.
#2: Keep eating regular meals. If you’re trying to shed some pounds, you can substitute a green smoothie for a meal.
#3: Read the weekly challenge emails.  Each week, you’ll find 5 green smoothie recipes and the shopping list in an email. This will help you decide what you need to buy and which green smoothies you would like to drink each day for the following week.
They only send 5 recipes so you can repeat the ones you like the last 2 days of each week. If you want more recipes, check out their green smoothie recipes page, or get adventurous and make your own concoctions.
#4: Try new things! Buy those collard greens at the farmer’s market! Throw in some coconut oil! Sprinkle the top with chia seeds! Let’s get adventurous!
#5: Blend your heart out! Any ol’ blender will do— really. Just make sure to use it a LOT.
#6: The green smoothie general recipe is greens (1-2) + fruits (1-2) + herbs (1-2) + liquid base (coconut water or almond milk or water) + superfood (optional – chia, flax, spirulina etc)
