#yoursuper 7 day smoothie superfood challenge

I had been seeing several Facebook and Instagram posts for the #yoursuper 5 day detox challenge so I decided to look up the company after a friend gave me some samples of “Forever Beautiful” packets.

I signed up for some of their free recipe booklets online and came across their 7 day smoothie challenge. I have been making protein smoothies for years, but I typically make the same kind over and over again so I was looking forward to trying to new ingredients and adding superfoods to my smoothies.

I ordered my starter pack from amazon and started my challenge on a Saturday.

After 2 days, I realized I could save some time if I made up some of my smoothie bags ahead of time and label them. I added spinach leaves to every recipe whether it called for it or not. I wanted to make sure I was getting enough greens and didn’t want to waste the big bag of spinach leaves my husband bought me for this challenge.

FINAL THOUGHTS: 

I liked the challenge because it got me trying new ingredients in my smoothies, like dates and avocados. I plan on using more of their recipes to come up with even more variety. Most of the recipes call for an entire banana which is high in sugar, so I’m going to find alternatives to that (like sweet potatoes!) or use 1/2 banana.

I added my own protein powder and spinach leaves to almost every smoothie in the morning so I didn’t follow it 100%. I liked trying all the sample packets from the company and none of mine were expired. (some of the amazon reviews said the packets were old)

I ended up ordering some of the full size products online and will be using them for the next month or so before I decide what products I really like and find beneficial. I did NOT sign up for the monthly subscription service because I don’t want the 3 month commitment and I don’t plan on buying all of these products on a regular basis due to cost. Check back here next month or on Instagram for more smoothie pictures and thoughts.
