5 Reasons to Do Autumn Smoothie Challenge
When the weather cools down, smoothies don’t have to go away—they just get cozier. Think creamy oats, cinnamon-spiced pear and ripe persimmon instead of tropical fruit. Drinking homemade smoothies is a great way to experience more energy & reduce cravings to support your health goals.
Crave healthier lifestyle
Our smoothies are loaded with hydration, vital nutrients, plant protein and fiber that nourish and keep you craving healthier foods all day long—even when pumpkin muffins are calling your name.
Boosted Energy All Day
Blending fruits and veggies with slow-burning oats gives you sustained energy without the jitters or a crash.
A daily smoothies gives me energy to train and run long distances in the Grand Canyon and the Alps!
Improved Gut health
The fiber in my smoothies act as an internal broom to help food inside your body “move along,” which can help with constipation, bloating, skin issues.
Stronger Immune system
Consuming fruits and veggies high in vitamins A and C boost the immune system, which is your body’s natural defense system against infections and viruses.
Kitchen Confidence
By the end of the challenge, you’ll know how to blend leafy greens with seasonal fruits like apples, pears and persimmons, plus superfoods and oats, to taste and feel great—no matter what’s on the shelves at the store.

Deliciously Healthy Choices!
I was very impressed with the variety and quantity of healthy, delicious smoothie choices (or smoothie bowls!) that were presented in this challenge. It made it so easy to make a solidly healthy breakfast choice each day.
Five stars!
I found the smoothies easy to make, with normal ingredients (except for the persimmons but that was a fun new try), and surprisingly delicious! I learned they are an easy way to add more fruits and veggies into my diet and because they are so satisfying they remove the desire to snack. Win win!
Great challenge
The 7 day smoothie challenge was fantastic. There was a nice variety of smoothies to try. Some of the flavors were a bit unexpected but they were are all delicious. I definitely would participate again.
Fall 2026 Smoothie Challenge
Enjoyed the variety and change from primarily making green smoothies. There were a couple familiar recipes and some new to me. I loved the diversity of flavors and the opportunity to experiment with some ingredients I’ve not tried before.
Seven days of smoothie fun
I really enjoyed making the seven different smoothies during the past week. It was a great opportunity to try new flavors as well as adding in some unfamiliar fruits such as persimmons. We drank the smoothies in place of breakfast. This is something we will do again from time to time.
These are all awesome smoothies!
I loved this week’s smoothie selections. I was so surprised by the Persimmon Smoothie. The color was vibrant. The texture was smooth and the taste was delicious! I loved it! The sweet potato definitely tasted like Thanksgiving pie. Smooth and creamy. The Chocolate Cherry Smoothie will always be a favorite and on rotation for me. I am team Cold Apple Pie Smoothie. I’m just not ready for the hot drinks quite yet. And, I have to agree with Jen: Pears do not get enough love. A nice, ripe pear is a wondrous treat. Pairing them with peaches in a smoothie? Genius. I didn’t get to make the Cinnamon Date Smoothie, and I am still sad about that. I will make it soon. Thanks Jen! You are the Smoothie Creator Queen!
Healthy, Delicious, and Worth Trying!
I really enjoyed the 7-day smoothie challenge! Although I wasn’t able to make each smoothie on the exact day it was scheduled, I did make all seven by the end of the challenge, and I’m so glad I did.
My favorite was the Chocolate Cherry, but the one that surprised me the most was the Creamy Sweet Potato. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the idea of a warm smoothie, but both the Sweet Potato and Apple Pie were delicious!
One of the biggest things I’m taking away from the challenge is simply having more options. My breakfasts can get pretty boring, so I love that I now have several new ways to change things up. I also love having something healthy I can reach for when my sweet tooth kicks in.
If you’re on the fence about trying one of these challenges, just do it! Even if you can’t make every recipe on the scheduled day, don’t let that stop you. Step outside your comfort zone and give them a try. You might be surprised by what you end up loving!
I like a healthy challenge
Easy to get the ingredients except for persimmons. Easy & quick to prepare. I liked the ones that were thick, they seemed to satisfy me longer. I will keep these simple recipes & make again!
Better than eating crackers
Before this Autumn Smoothie Challenge for breakfast it was usually a banana and crackers so got into this habit from having Intestinal problems so the banana & crackers were easy to digest and crackers help to bind. I kept trying to get back to smoothies and made 1 once in a while and oatmeal but well it became the usual is faster. With this challenge before my brain had a chance to think about it ; I just did it made the smoothies and then I actually was getting the growling signal to eat it felt like I was burning through every meal even the heavy ones and I got up once from sleeping because my stomach was growly where as before this challenge I didn’t feel hungry and rarely had a growl so This is a good to have your stomach burn through what I eat because it’s better than having it just sit in your stomach doing nothing at all and making you ill. So wonderfully cool and kale yeah! My favorite was the Apple pie smoothie . Oh I liked trying different fruits when they are available and I like the veggies in smoothies too.
Every year!
This is probably the 4th or 5th smoothie challenge week I’ve done, (along with a soup and salad ones too!) I find these challenges a great way to try a few new things without major commitment. Even though I have been making smoothies for years, sometimes I get stuck in the habit of making the same one over and over, doing these helps break the cycle…I love getting new ideas and reading what other people try in their reviews. Jen does a great job at keeping things actually simple, and not using too many wild ingredients that are expensive or hard to obtain.
