Welcome new members! πππ€
This group is born of a May Green Smoothie challenge that a MFP member, Tatilove1988, made last May. @SafariGalNYC and I met there, and as the Newsfeed was dying this summer (OMG can you believe they did that!?), SafariGal came up with the idea to reboot the challenge. The summer was filled with this and that, by both of us, so it took until now to get it started .
The group will hopefully flesh out, and have more trimmings, but for now, it's brand new, and all you have to do is jump in and start posting your GREENS (and/or other fruits/veggies π) on the August challenge thread.
Welcome, and let's see your choices! Cheers,
~ SafariGal and mkk

Welcome, @DorcasMJackson !! So glad you asked to join us ππ - you found us before we even posted the Group on the Recipes Forum or the Challenges Forum, so I know you're excited to Get Your GREENS, too~1 I am verry bad about my greens, so this challenge group is going to be wonderful for me. And SafariGal is verry good about her greens, just wait until you see her concoctions and read the ingredients lists - you will be inspired!
Cheers,

@tatilove1988 , I've sent you an invite, and am hoping you're going to join! This group is born from the May Green Smoothie challenge that you created last Spring! (wow what a great idea! ).

Welcome, @Dallasd7820 ! Dallas is my Fitbit friend, from the stepping group formed in Dec '21. She was part of the crew that inspired me to reach my 19-mos long 10k/day stepping streak, which I sadly broke last September, after I fell and injured my knee π¦΅

Hello hello hello !!! I'm happy to 'meet' you . I met SG on a May Green Smoothie challenge, she and Tati really inspired me, but I never made it past the "smoothie curious" stage! I stuck with salads. I've invested in a Vitamix during Amazon Prime Day sales, tho, as well as a long, complicated list of ingredients I got last month from an RN who was in a Prolon FMD Fasting group with me, that included Greens Powder, @dannytrees1 , so I'll be doing greens powder shakes/smoothies with you, for sure! We have an August Get Your GREENS challenge thread going on here. Post your shake, pic/no pic, doesn't matter .
Cheers!

LOL, Dallas told me this morning in our Stridekick stepping challenge that she might not be able to make it in - she'd deleted MFP from her phone, and can't remember the password. She said she had 3 other fitness apps on her phone, so she ended up deleting MFP.
We'll see! I'd love my Vegan Stepping Friend to join us .

Welcome to Get Your GREENS, @filmgal30 ! Tickled GREEN that you've joined us as well. FilmGal is also from the Hogwarts Challenge. She's not in the same house as @BodyTalking and me, tho I can't exactly recall which House she is in, just now π€©.

@mkksemail Hello, thanks for the warm welcome! I really need to amp my f/v. I was originally in Slytherin for several terms (itβs my wizarding world house) but for dual houses I am a Slytherclaw so when they needed a prefect I said I would do it. That was for about a yearβs worth of terms, but Iβm still in Ravenclaw. Shhh-donβt tell, some times I really think hard about switching back. Looking forward to seeing how everyone gets their greens in so I can up my own f/v intake.1
-
Ahhh, you were a ππβ¨ Snake ! Slytherclaw - I love it! I thought you were a leader at Hogwarts, but I couldn't recall for certain. I've done two terms now, both summer terms! This new term just starting will be my first "regular" term. Looking forward to it !
Yesss, I really need to amp up my f/v, I'm so grateful to SafariGirl for the idea to start this challenge group up. We have an August Get Your GREENS challenge thread (other veggies, fruits work too!). Jump in, and enjoy the inspiration ! I love it so much. I'm still a Smoothie Virgin, lol. I bought a Vitamix last month, during Amazon Prime Days sale to replace our decades-old blender that was not up to the job, but I haven't jumped in yet. I've stuck to avocado toast, salads, and roasted veggies so far.
We'll be travelling for a couple weeks, starting next Monday (10 days in Istanbul, 4 days in Copenhagen!) - when we get back, I'm unpacking the Vitamix and diving in.
Cheers!

Welcome, @gabriellebelmore ! Gabrielle is from my Fitbit stepping group - she was part of the crew that helped me reach my 19-mos 10k/day stepping goal!
She also just joined Hogwart's Challenge, not in Slytherin house, tho. I think maybe Gryffindor? Not sure about that.3 -

Hi @Nutbugs2 - welcome!! Canβt wait to see your smoothies!
I guess itβs smoothie September!

Thanks for the invite! Getting enough greens is hard for my digestive system. I do eat a lot of different veggies and fruit. I have a green protein powder I use for my smoothies. It's okay. I have a nice juicer for making veggie fruit juice and do a juice cleanse once a year.
I hope all is well with you.1
