Green Smoothie Challenge Day 1 (start here)

[@BoutenkoFilms]

🥬 🍓 🥦 🍑 🥒 🍌 Attention smoothie drinkers 🍉 🌱 🍇 ☘️ 🍐 I have a fresh project in the works called "30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge for Busy People.” The title more or less describes what I’m planning. I’m going to publish a new , feature-length video and eBook that will efficiently guide folks with crazy work/life schedules through a month-long green drink cycle. The new 30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge for Busy People will be just like the previous challenge, but completely different. 🕺 What I mean by that is... The framework of the month-long challenge will remain the same, but the guts (i.e. all the recipes, ingredients shopping lists, tips and tricks, etc.) have been modified to benefit people who want to lead healthy lives, but don’t have a lot of time to spare for cooking and food prep. 🎬 If you want to see another healthy challenge come alive, head to Kickstarter and support the project: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sergeiboutenko/30-day-green-smoothie-challenge-for-busy-people?ref=a2tfvh.

[@notmebutyou8350]

Congrats to you. How did it help you?

[@susanweiss429]

I'm definitely IN! I lost 40 pounds on a green smoothie diet (not exclusively greens) and I intend to keep the weight off. I started down this healthy road 4 years ago and I've learned to love and find green smoothies an indispensable part of my diet. I bought some of the family Boutenko books and found them to be most helpful. Thank you, Sergei, for putting this challenge together. I'm a believer.

[@stellailyayev8861]

+Susan Weiss how much of it did you drink?

[@MsLiaH]

How long did you do it for?

[@stephenschraedel9517]

Hi Susan, I would love to hear more about your journey. Can u explain exactly what you did to lose 40 pounds?

[@donnaclements6085]

I finally got started drinking green smoothies yesterday. Now, I have IBS. I have to take pooh powder to keep me from being chained to the porcelain goddess. Which leaves me constipated and bloated and SO uncomfortable at times, that I break down into tears, it's so uncomfortable! And what bowel movements I do have? Rocks and pebbles. So. Yesterday I made a green smoothie - frozen chopped kale, mango, cilantro, green apples and I don't remember what else. I didn't get through half of the quart, almost got through half, but consumed just under that much. THIS morning, I had the closest to normal of a bowel movement that I have had in NINE MONTHS! I had to share how quickly results happen even when you don't drink the whole quart! Thank you, Sergei Boutenko! may you have an abundantly blessed day!

[@donnaclements6085]

Addendum: I didn't make my smoothie with DAY I ingredients because I didn't have them on hand, but I decided I WAS NOT going to go another day without at least getting started!

[@detoxdoc5256]

I'm in! I am already convinced of the effects of a raw diet (having felt AMAZING levels of energy from just adding a morning smoothie and salad a day for a few weeks) and I want to thank you and your family for playing a major role in my altered nutritional intake. I will try to post every day and will keep you up to date on results of this experiment. I am starting my own KZbin site "DetoxDoc" and will post there as well. Thank you so much for ALL of your videos Sergei and for staying true to your convictions about incorporating health for self and others.

[@brandiloper9769]

Sergei this smoothie was amazing.. I drank this right after my workout and it gave me that added boost... Never thought of adding basil and it was so delightful with the pairing of pear.. thanks a ton .. cant wait for more to come.

[@treew6752]

[@musicbox2466]

your channel contains the answers to all my questions atm, i subbed with joy. i love the fact that you consume apple seeds, i don't think many things taste better! i will try the 30 days smoothie challenge following your recipes thank you!

[@ChristodoulosFoufoulides]

Hi Sergei. Great idea! Thanks for doing this. You left Orange out in the video description btw.

[@GirlWantsANap]

This is a FAB idea Sergei. Thank you for doing this!

[@JuicingGardener]

I love your 30 day challenge idea! Great looking smoothie. I drink smoothies and juices just about daily with organic produce right from my garden and I really feel the difference! ~ Sheryl :-)

[@2075vj]

I’ve never used basil in my smoothies but I’m going to try it. Thanks for sharing

[@40zoeann]

Hi if you add a small bit of raw ginger & a slice of lemon, to every green smoothie, it will make any smoothien, however bitter the greens, taste great.

[@tinastewart789]

Just ran across your challenge videos. When I was around 16, I told myself "I will never be over weight like the women in my family." Done! My new lifetime goal....."I'm gonna be healthy and live FoREVER!!!!". Lol. We'll see how that goes.... Thank you for the awesome inspiration!

[@1hopefulman240]

That's great! I didn't know about the seeds. I'm always learning! :)

[@MattHarropActor]

I have a smoothie every day, and love your recipes! Looking forward to seeing what u come up with this month! Thanks dude. M

[@MaverickMeho]

[@MarieDanielle21]

You and your family are a good inspiracy for me. Thanks a lot. I am from Brasil and start know about raw food with you in english. Now here we have in portuguese book of your mother. God Bless you all.

[@anushkathetree]

Thanks for this challenge, Sergei. A weekly shopping list would be really helpful. Do you have one you could share for this challenge? I'd like to avoid having to go shopping every single day to do this challenge....

[@canids]

I'm in. Daughter is too. Just a thought. I work night shift so for me if I knew what the recipe was for tomorrow I could pick up the ingredients at the 24 hour supermarket on my travels through the night. Would you be able to post at the end of your blending, "for tomorrow's recipe you will need", etc etc. just a thought.

[@JustLoveria]

I'm late but I am definitely trying this for 30 days those smoothies look good

[@grasshut23]

Sergei, I would suggest a banana that is more ripe with spots :) Thank you for doing this.

[@SimplyLightful]

Thank you!! will be doing it from Spain!

[@dusty_lady5836]

Only just found this but I'm def in!!

[@rhocassiopeiae]

I made a green smoothie, mine contains apple, avocado, baby kale and spinach, ginger, fresh sqeeze orange juice, and almond milk, is that fine for day 1?

[@cheyennevanderhoff]

Great gift!!!!!!! Thank you and merry Christmas🎄

[@fridaplacida1332]

Any chance you can give us a shopping list, for at least a few days in advance?

[@meldub3039]

Thanks for the email about this challenge...starting today 1/11/15!

[@sl4983]

Add a tbsp of natural peanut butter if you use banana...YUM!!!

[@bryanrounds]

How does the new vitamix compare to the older well known model vitamix???

[@laraskyeg.baddour4243]

I believe in you! ;)

[@NaturalLilly]

Day 1. Done. Delicious. 🍹

[@TGregONeil]

Glad to hear you state that you use "organic" fruits and vegetables. Very important!

[@kgilbert3573]

Greg, I've become a smoothie junky. All my disposable income is going towards this obsession. I've thought about starting a support group but that would take my focus of making and consuming green smoothies. any advise? Smoothies rock!!!

[@TGregONeil]

K Gilbert Meetup.com is a fantastic resource for herding people together with common interests. Right with you on spending money on organic smoothies. It's the centerpiece of my food program. Add an avocado and it's a meal. Use coconut water instead of plain water and it's delicious!

[@kgilbert3573]

Greg, I'm sorry I misled you in my earlier statement. That was sort of tounge and cheek

[@mariamsecret]

Спасибо, Сергей! я участвую!!! :))) очень интересная и полезная идея ;)

[@missmizz22]

I don´t have Access to organic veggies... is it all right to use the ones the sale in my local market?I'm from Chile..! Please answer!! This worries me a bit.

[@tallieallen397]

Sounds delicious and nutritious. Question: I thought putting banana and orange together was a bad combo for digestion. Sweet with acid. What are your thoughts on food combining as it relates to this smoothie?

[@michaellim7002]

Replace Orange with Apple. Apples can go along with any Fruits and Veggies very well. (Kordich)

[@sueperez1179]

So is this the 30 day challenge that could help with psoriasis

[@franco91207]

I put. Alovera. Cactus. Flaxseed. Chia seeds. And. Hempseed. Spraout. Kale. Dandelion. Spinach. Fruits. Green tea. 2 cups

[@leigha8428]

Hi Sergei-- Your movie was terrific, and I am an occasional green smoothie drinker already. I'd love to make it more of an every day habit, so I will be following along. I was just wondering if you use this smoothie as a meal or in addition to your other meals. Also, could you discuss what else you generally eat on a given day? Best, Leigh

[@BoutenkoFilms]

leigh a I use the smoothies as an addition to my diet.

[@ncleveng]

BoutenkoFilms So how much green smoothie do you consume per day then? And what makes up the rest of your diet?

[@PhoenixwayNet]

I always put the greens on the bottom...much easier to blend.

[@xX0Jesuslives0Xx]

I love you guy I only wish I could find the greens in my hometown I live in harsh salty environment and am having a hard time finding them

[@iamshakuri]

vitamix needs to sponsor you

[@plateandprogress]

Do you drink that whole thing? If so, at 1 sitting or do you break it up, like 1/2 now 1/2 later?

[@seedaholicgardens9085]

I sip throughout the day...less daunting for me.

[@colieh1240]

Do you prefer the wide mouth or regular mouth quart jars for drinking smoothies?

[@michaellim7002]

wide mouth jar is easier to pour in the smoothies as well as cleaning after using.

[@fairbanksairriders]

And Ginger. 👍

[@mimisweb440]

thanks for sharing, do you eat any solid food ?

[@margaretelizabeth555]

Don't give green smoothie a bad rap! ; ) Hahaaha

[@asiyageorge1878]

Hi it's this good for Diabietic? All these fruits

[@susanbolenbaugh5203]

Is there a book available?

[@miglematelyte6212]

Hi!Can I replace the kale with spinach?

[@BoutenkoFilms]

Yep!

[@miglematelyte6212]

Thanks 😄you're amazing 😂

[@Jellocat]

Hello. What if you have blood sugar issues such as diabetes? How do these smoothies affect that? My doc said to avoid drinks like this because of the sugar content.

[@monagallant1417]

+Jello Cat what sugar content? stevia is a plant.

[@Jellocat]

+Mona Gallant fruits give out a lot of natural sugar which doctors tell diabetics to watch out for especially in such high doses as what appears in green smoothies.

[@tno2007]

Just skip the fruit if you are worried about sugars. But having said that, try 100% plant based (no animal products and dairy) eating for 3 weeks. Type-2 diabetes is usually reversed by then. Then you can start eating fruit normally again.

[@whaynnaaraujo6279]

question can I use almond milk

[@BoutenkoFilms]

Yep, if you'd like too.

[@whaynnaaraujo6279]

thank you

[@KalmarFamily]

I am only 35 and have been told (By the Dr) I have low testosterone so was thinking of doing some smoothes with Maca powder. I would like to do your challenge for the month of January, is it ok to add the Maca in all your recipes?

[@MartinSusol]

Slovakia is joining. :)

[@thenitap]

I am starting today

[@charronfamilyconnect]

Thanks for the video Sergei. What kind of water do you use? Is it spring, distilled, RO? I have never heard you say what water type you recommend. Many people say distilled is bad for you and leaches minerals, but its just pure water to me. I want to know what you think? Thanks!

[@ironnyflynn3512]

Hi, I am trying to clear psoriasis following the Pagano diet. This says that bananas, apples and melons should all be eaten separately and not combined with anything. Do you have green smoothie recipes without these fruits please? I am keen to try the challenge!

[@lunaazul8893]

Can juicer be used ?

[@elraka_banks]

Would you still recommend leaving in the seeds if it's a "regular" blender?

[@onenessbaycity]

Where can I get all the recipes as a print out?

[@chesterwilliams2878]

How do i get the information?

[@nikkilikes6888]

WooHoo!

[@thenitap]

something is wrong here I clicked on the thumbs up and it does not register

[@farjanaakhter7429]

It tastes good

[@jenniferharvey3560]

Recipe left out the orange.

[@BoutenkoFilms]

Thank you Jennifer! The orange now exists!

[@Adeline9418]

In a earlier video he said to NOT put seeds and stems in smoothies. I guess it's personal preference.

[@UndershirtSandwich]

Challenge accepted. :D

[@mspixiedust100]

No, you didn't just start the video with "wat up".

[@YullaNellis]

This reeeeally look like you got paid by Vitamix ...

[@mustamirrabbani9423]

why you eat sisters raw food''

[@usvadi]

Two days making Green Smoothie all pains are gone that were coming after eating cooked food from Restaurants etc. I will stick to home made Green Smoothies , Boiled Sweet Potatoes , Soaked Pistachios for protein And other soaked nuts and seeds. 🙏💕✅🥬🥒🌈👌
