I can\u2019t tell you how much fun this smoothie challenge has been! Whenever you send in your entries I get a smile on my face.<\/p>\n

I have to say though; the entries that have produced the most grins are from my friend ShannonMarie<\/a> from Rawdorable<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Rawdorable<\/p>\n

Seriously, can you handle the adorability?! Thanks ShannonMarie for the overload of cuteness.<\/p>\n

All the other entries have also been SO inspiring \u2013 they\u2019re often sent in with a drool-worthy description of how delicious it was. It just keeps me inspired to keep me drinking smoothies every day.<\/p>\n

\"Smoothie<\/p>\n

So much goodness\u2026mmmmmm. I love ALL your entries!<\/p>\n

Now I have an announcement! Every week of the July smoothie challenge Vega is generously giving away a Vega Energizing Smoothie Pouch<\/a> to one of the participants and the winner for this week is Jenn from Run It My Way<\/a>! Congrats girl! (If you want to be part of the weekly draw you just need to comment on the initial challenge post<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I also wanted to give a shoutout to Katherine<\/a> from Green Thickies<\/a>. She\u2019s doing the smoothie challenge too and she has a fantastic site with LOADS of smoothie recipes! Her story is so awesome\u2026she actually used smoothies as a tool to help her overcome chronic fatigue syndrome AND lose about 56 pounds! Talk about inspiring.<\/p>\n

Over the last few days I\u2019ve been trying some smoothie recipes I\u2019ve been meaning to try. A few days ago I made Spirulina Hawaiian Dream Smoothie<\/a> from Sketch-Free Eating<\/a>. You need to check this one out \u2013 I really enjoyed it. I didn\u2019t have any fresh pineapple so I used canned and used my Vega Energizing Smoothie (original)<\/a> for protein. I just love the colour of smoothies when I use spirulina!<\/p>\n

I love putting my Vega protein<\/a> in my shakes!<\/p>\n

On Saturday I made BerryHappyBodies<\/a> healthy Reese\u2019s Shake<\/a>. I believe that peanut butter and chocolate are a marriage made in heaven so naturally I thought this shake was kind of amazing. I added some raw maca and used my NytroWhey chocolate whey protein<\/a> to the mix for some extra superhero-ness.<\/p>\n

I also wanted to mention that I just found out my friend Whitney<\/a> from WhitLikesFit<\/a> is having a challenge for July<\/a> too. It\u2019s all about drinking more water and all you have to do is tweet her a picture of your water with the hashtag #hydrateinjuly<\/strong>. I decided to join in on the fun too \u2013 always need more motivation to keep drinking good ole\u2019 H20.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I just started a Tumblr blog<\/a> a few days ago – this site will have stuff this site won’t, such as articles and recipes I enjoyed and health\/fitness photos from my life. If you’re on Tumblr I’d LOVE to follow you back!!<\/p>\n

Hope you\u2019re having a marvelous Monday! Don\u2019t forget to drink a smoothie (and lots of water)!<\/p>\n
