Keep reading below to find out what this weekly challenge is (and to enter a sweet giveaway!).<\/p>\n<p>I have now completed two-weeks of my <a title=\"Philosophie 14-day Cleanse\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/philosophiecleanse\" target=\"_blank\">Philosophie Cleanse<\/a> and I have been super happy with it (read <a title=\"What I've been eating on the Philosophie cleanse\" href=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/2015\/06\/05\/what-ive-been-eating-on-the-philosophie-cleanse-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\">what I&#8217;ve been eating<\/a>). I felt great the whole time, maybe a little tired&#8230;but it&#8217;s hard for me to distinguish what causes that (since that&#8217;s a side affect since <a title=\"In a Car Accident\" href=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/2015\/03\/19\/in-a-car-accident\/\" target=\"_blank\">my accident<\/a>). Like I mentioned before, I was rarely hungry and felt like, on a cellular level, my body was satisfied with nutrition so it had no reason to &#8220;be hungry&#8221;. This is not actual science, it&#8217;s just my own thoughts. I&#8217;m still obsessing over Philosophie&#8217;s superfoods and put them in all my smoothies.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My green\/veggie smoothies usually get <a title=\"Green Dream\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1TjJfeT\" target=\"_blank\">Green Dream<\/a><\/li>\n<li>My fruit smoothies get <a title=\"Berry Bliss\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1G2cU22\" target=\"_blank\">Berry Bliss<\/a><\/li>\n<li>My dessert\/chocolate\/indulgent smoothies get <a title=\"Cacao Magic\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1QvMcda\" target=\"_blank\">Cacao Magic<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5908\" alt=\"Philosophie Superfoods for every smoothie\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Philosophie-Superfoods-for-every-smoothie-510x510.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Philosophie-Superfoods-for-every-smoothie-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Philosophie-Superfoods-for-every-smoothie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Philosophie-Superfoods-for-every-smoothie-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Philosophie-Superfoods-for-every-smoothie.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My bases are quite clearly covered.

Here is your new weekly challenge!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8xIbxN6UVbg\" height=\"315\" width=\"510\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now onto the fun stuff! I said that if you did any one of the weekly challenges you were eligible to win a surprise prize! Well, it&#8217;s here!!<\/p>\n<p>My friend Clark works for <a title=\"Quest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.questnutrition.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Quest<\/a> and he set up a super sweet giveaway. I have loved Quest for-eeeeeeva. Why? They are a protein bar that tastes like dessert (smores or oreos anyone?) and yet it&#8217;s nutritional profile is great. For example, one of my fave Quest bars is the <a title=\"Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1HE7cc7\" target=\"_blank\">Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bar<\/a> and it has 1g sugar, 3 net carbs, is high fibre, and no gluten. I know you&#8217;ll love them as much as I do.<\/p>\n<p>However, Quest went overboard and is giving away their new <a title=\"Protein Chips\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1QvLVHp\" target=\"_blank\">protein CHIPS<\/a> (whaaa!) and some of their <a title=\"Protein Powder from Quest\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1G2ny8Q\" target=\"_blank\">protein shake<\/a> packets!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5909\" alt=\"Win all of this @questnutrition goodness from @colourfulpalate!

Yah, you want some! I haven&#8217;t tried their protein powder yet (<a title=\"Colourful Palate on Instagram\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1QvLVHp\" target=\"_blank\">follow me on IG<\/a> and I&#8217;ll post my thoughts on it soon!). However, I have tried their chips and they are a happy mix of a crisp cracker and a chip. When I&#8217;m craving the munchies this is the perfect go-to. I love their <a title=\"BBQ flavour protein chips\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1GlhJqk\" target=\"_blank\">BBQ flavour<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Okay! So <strong>HOW DO YOU ENTER TO WIN THIS GIVEAWAY?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First thing&#8217;s first. You have to have done at least one of the weekly challenges to be eligible to win! I&#8217;ve put the other two week&#8217;s challenge videos below so you can run and do one of the challenges, and enter right away! It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re late to the party or are not part of the Colourful Smoothie Challenge, just do at least one of the weekly challenges. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><em>Open to US and Canadian residents. However, if it&#8217;s a Canadian winner, Quest isn&#8217;t able to send them chips or protein powder, so they&#8217;ll replace that with another box of bars. At the moment, they&#8217;re not shipping those internationally.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/js6W9xPUkl8\" height=\"315\" width=\"510\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mG9NKlNn1eQ\" height=\"315\" width=\"510\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Now comment below<\/span> and tell me what your goals were for one of the weekly challenges!
