I tried Green Blender for a week - here's what I thought...

Back in early February, I attended the launch of Robyn Youkilis' Go With Your Gut book release party.  She is a graduate of the same nutrition school I went to IIN and I have been following her on social media for awhile now.  Robyn gives great advise on how to heal your gut through pre and probiotics, fermented foods and most importantly chewing you food!  I decided to go all in and purchase a VIP ticket to the event, which included Robyn's book as well as a goodie bag filled with tons of swag.  The goodie bag was amazing and I couldn't believe all the great items in it and one of the give-aways was a voucher to try Green Blender.  I have been following Green Blender's Insta account for awhile and love all the different smoothies they come up with.  I decided to take advantage of the offer and had my box delivered last week.  All of the smoothies were really yummy and I was impressed with this service.

Green Blender sends you a box of 5 already portioned out, labeled ingredients to make the smoothies with a recipe and information regarding each drink i.e. if it helps fight inflammation, is detoxing or builds up your immune system.  The recipes are seasonally rotated and take in to mind what is fresh during that time of the year.  I think this service is great for anyone who is new to blending as you get to try a variety of flavor combinations and superfoods that you might otherwise shy away from.  I also like this service for someone like myself, who starts off most days with a smoothie, as an option if you couldn't make it to the grocery store that week or just board of your usual go-to's and looking for some great inspiration.  Green Blender is an easy subscription service so if you fall in love you can set to receive your box on the regular.  It is also very easy to skip a week if you are going to be away or just would like a break.  

If you have tried Green Blender before, I would love to hear from you in the comments section below!
