\"Colourful<\/p>\n

Oh my word! People\u2026this is one special post! Last year I hosted a challenge called the Colourful Smoothie Challenge<\/a> and it was such a smashing success \u2013 OF COURSE I\u2019m doing it again this year! Around 50 people signed up for it and this year, I hope even more of you will! This is totally going to be annual thing!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s SO exciting!<\/p>\n

In case you didn\u2019t remember from last year, here\u2019s what\u2019s happening!<\/p>\n

For the whole month of August I\u2019m challenging myself to one smoothie a day \u2013 and I\u2019m challenging you to join in with me! All you have to do is tweet me pictures of your smoothies! Ya\u2019ll know I LOVE my smoothies (my instagram<\/a> is littered with smoothie pics)<\/p>\n

\"Colourful<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you want to enjoy a colourful smoothie like this every day?! But that\u2019s not all, because there are prizes! Really REALLY amazing ones!<\/p>\n

\"CHALLENGE<\/p>\n

So how do you join in on the fun?<\/b><\/p>\n

Make sure<\/span> to comment below and let me know if you\u2019re planning on joining the challenge! I will be making spreadsheets so I can keep tabs on everyone\u2019s scores!<\/p>\n

From there, it\u2019s all about scoring points. Whoever gets the most points will win the grand prize and next will win second\u2026and so on\u2026<\/p>\n

You will take a picture (with your phone\/Instagram\/camera) and tweet your smoothie to me (@colourfulpalate) using the hashtag #colourfulsmoothie \u2013 keep in mind I can\u2019t track you if you forget to add the hashtag (NOTE: if you don\u2019t have twitter you can email your photo to me \u2013 I don\u2019t want to leave anybody out! It\u2019s charissa@colourfulpalate.com)<\/p>\n

BASICALLY – just tweet me photos of your smoothies! It’s SO EASY!<\/strong><\/p>\n
