Hi Sergei, thank you for the info. I especially liked that you can still eat what you ate prior to the challenge. Sergei, can you buy me this Vitamix blender Vitamix 62826 Vita-Prep 3 Food Blender. I really want it, but can't afford it, so will you please buy it for me.
I just started using smoothies for my breakfast. My doctor was happy and surprised when I took the blood test, AIC and even mammogram. She called me and told me, everything in the exams are normal. My AIC, my cholesterol and other things are normal. WOW, i how happy I am for the first time I am 80 years old.
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Taparton Complete Cleanse Takeover (do a google search)? It is a good one off guide for discovering a really effective health cleanse without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
I had the same results I lost 30 pounds and my doctor said my blood test was perfect. I had heart damage from my medicine I take and it healed itself. I believe in the green smoothie. My skin changed too it’s normally dry even in the summer, but it was really moist and I didn’t need Shea butter or virgin coconut out. Keep up with the smoothies they really work.
Tip: I buy one or two bags of baby spinach at a time, then blend it into liquid (with about 1/2 c of water), then pour it into a couple of ice cube trays. When the recipe calls for spinach, I use about 4 cubes.
101919571, thanks for the idea, I will look to use this idea the next smoothie because I know for sure this will help me to avoid consumption of time and save my money at the same time and avoid my produce from going bad quick. this is awesome :-) thanks.
Where I live (Denmark) every supermarket has frozen spinach and kale. It's easier to always have this in your freezer, and also cheaper :) I also always freeze very ripe bananas to use in smoothies. Frozen bananas give amazing creamy texture :) TIP: Frozen bananas blended on their own makes a really delicious 'ice cream'. Eat as is, or add cacao powder for a healthy chocolate ice cream :)
Hi Sergei, I took your challenge and I’m feeling soooo much better! My blood glucose level has gone down and my weight is where I want it to be. And now my whole family is doing it together! Thank you so much for changing my life!
Thank you for sharing your recipes! I needed some fresh ideas. 4 of my family members had cancer at the same time. We lost 2 but then I started researching, bought about 50 toxicology and medical books. It was crazy to learn about how toxic the poisons are in our so called food. Plus the non Organic is irradiated with ionizing radiation. Seriously, how can this be legal? What is more crazy is that when I shared this...literally, no one cared. After eating raw plant based, I take zero medications, I now have 20/20 vision, my temperature is back up to normal with no Hashimoto's (thyroiditis) and I have no kidney disease. Plus, at 57 years old, my skin is so nice, I can go without makeup. I love your videos!, I wish I had learned about your family's teaching about 10 years ago! You are awesome!
That is a great testimonial and I wish you continued good health and good juicing. I have to add that the one thing I have noticed with serious juicers apart from their good health is their beautiful skin - men, women and age is irrevelent - beautiful skin.
I cant believe all these recipes are free... u could have made thousand of dollars...but u chose to spread health and love..thank you so much...i m defintely gonna try..have these for my breakfast...
I’ve been making smoothies for over 3 years. I haven’t got a cold, Covid, or the flu because of this. I usually use kale and spinach, bananas, berries and blueberries. I have never had any of those side effects. Lately I have been growing my own sprouts and add them to my smoothies.
Thank you for taking the time to go through the recipe for every single day with us. Not many people do that and instead just give the recipes only. Hell, even I am interested in doing this challenge. Thank you again.Much appreciated
its been 60 days since i have made a healthy decision to drink a liter of smoothies everday. I am a seaman and currently onboard for 7mo , when i requested various greens for my private order of 20kg all of my mate laughed at me while they order all other things. Better invest on my health now. thank Sergie
Well over a decade ago, when i first found the benefits of green smoothies, there was a book from a woman named Victoria Boutenko, which was basically THE book on green smoothies. She shared how she raised her kids using that way of eating. I must say, it is really cool to come back years later and see that woman's kids all grown up, AND still sharing the story!
I started this years ago with your Mom when she was helping your Dad to feel better. Here we are in 2020, in quarantine “and we blend!” Starting this challenge again tomorrow. Hope your parents are well too. Thanks
Thanks for this 30 day challenge. I started it with my husband in January 2020. We are STILL drinking smoothies daily now in the month of April. Also, my husband had a colonoscopy and he had great results and the doctor said "we will see you in 10 years for another check up"..A simple change for my husband who has diabetes, asthma and HBP, he now looks forward to his smoothie and I have also included my 2 year old son that he now pretends he is making smoothies for me and his daddy haha. Thank you so much!
I was drinking green smoothies for about six months & lost 32llbs . I was weighing 160 lbs before and when as low as 128 lbs.I never felt so good in all my life. Recently, I started experiencing tingling & numbness in the tips of my fingers of both hands & throbbing pain in both calves. I stopped using the green smoothies but the pain & numbness continued. I started exercising doing some brisk walking and started eating sardines, eggs& salmon I am now feeling much better. I now understand from your video since I was using Kale all the time.
Mr.B. I have NEVER seen anyone do such a WONDERFUL job showing us HOW to make 30 different SMOOTHIES. This is truly the BEST!! You also share why you don't use certain items. Yes, I have subscribed. Love it!! Thanks Mr. B.😊
I stayed up until 1 am watching this last night and tried it this morning! Now I'm a believer and Im HOOKED! Making another one tonight! I had been making smoothies for over 6 years almost daily and refused to add the greens. Thank you so much for this! It was so simple.
Wow I just happened to come across this video. I have learned so much from Victoria Boutanko over the years. I even went to her Green Smoothie lecture before the book was released in 2005. I'm so happy the children continue to push the knowledge forward! Great video.
Wow! I can’t believe that is your mom! About 10 or 15 years ago I was so unhealthy, skinny but sickly. I started incorporating raw foods and smoothies in my diet and I became the healthiest I had ever been. I also at that time read your moms book, greens for life! It was so amazing and encouraging to me. It’s such a great book. Every family should read it! And you were mentioned in there, and it’s so cool to see you in this vid., and still healthy! You are amazing to be showing all of these recipes! I can’t wait to start! Thank you so much! I plan on watching your movie, and getting your book!!!
Me too! I'm on day 3 of The Challenge, trying to get some nutrients into my body! I'm also 'striding out', for some aerobic activity. Hopefully will lose the weight I've gained.
Sergei, thanks for all you do - your generosity of time, talent and wisdom is truly appreciated. So proud of you, been watching you grow up since you lived in Denver !
I'm about 20 days into this and have felt GREAT! I hope everyone will try this. It's even elevated my mood. I'm moving quicker on the basketball court with shorter recovery times. Just picked up some chia seeds to add. I'm no doctor, consult your doctor ( or don't jk) ha, but it's worked for me! Thank you! Thanks for the video. Tip I picked up is to alternate my greens, going to start next!
I’m going to do this with my 8yr old! I used to make green smoothies, but always with small amount of fruit. It was a chore to drink so I eventually quit. I believe in the health benefits though so I’m gonna do it. Thank you!
Thank you SO much for making this extremely in-depth movie! 🙏 I loved all of the nutritional/scientifically-based research you included in the beginning. Then when you actually showed yourself making each of the smoothies for the full 30 days…THAT was way more helpful than I thought it could be! I didn’t realize how many of these fruits and greens I am unfamiliar with, and it would have been HELL to try to figure out how I should best prepare/chop them before adding them to the smoothie! I am starting this TODAY and will be having my children drink smoothies each day as well. Thank you again so much!!
I finished the 30 day green smoothie challenge yesterday. I really enjoyed the challenge, and it was a great way to increase you greens intake. After about 6 months I did stop, as I switched to a low-carb, almost carno diet. To get rid of sugars
@@ReggieDable I did lose weight, but I dont know how much, I had been dieting, but weight loss seemed to kick into gear with the smoothies. I dont know about the glucose levels either, but I would guess that this type of addition to your diet would help, as your removing any chance of bad sugars in your morning meal. gl
@@tausenti there's no such thing as 'bad' sugars because it implies that there are 'good' sugars, which is not the case. Feel free to experiment with your smoothies but I suspect they are loaded with fructose. So, if I were you I'd be keeping a close watch on those blood sugar levels and liver function (i.e due to a high risk of development of fatty liver).
Hi Sergei. Thank you so much for the recipe. I have reduced my chronic medication after a month and a half of using the smoothie. It is the remedy I've been seeking for years to overcome my diabetes. Once again, thank you. I'm advising many people here in South Africa.
I deal with terrible anxiety & depression🥺. Just watching this video has CALMED me so much and given me hope. I wail be starting this as soon as I get courage to go to the store. THANK YOU. It's 3:30 am, I think I can sleep now ❤
How are you doing? I have agoraphobia and spend days not leaving my apt. Now I have a friend that has an appt every morning and I go with her almost everyday to make myself get out. It really helps. God Bless 💜💜💜💕💕💕
I was doing this before I seen your video. When you said write down your issues. I had hobbled on my feet for years they were sore especialy at the end on the day. I then relized I no longer have foot pain after many years. Now I hike the mountains with friends family pain free. Thanks for the video.
I've eaten junk and I've eaten green and there's nothing like the green way. Thanks for an excellent video. We continue to learn from it. Thanks for posting.
This dude taught me how to make a ace salad! I thought I knew! but he has this very basic way of showing you have to make a fantastic salad! I love my salads now.
Thank you for taking so much time to do this vdo. You are all doing such a great job. I have watched lots of health vdos,, your films are so far the best, well researched and you guys give away so much info freely.Continue blessing others and i wish your entire family and team the very best in everything.
Ps: I am from Kenya in Africa. The Vitamix is unavailable here but a have a Nutribullet 600 and it works excellently. I started doing fruit smoothies some time back and in time substituted one meal with the smoothie. Now I have started with green smoothies i will reduce the fruits and add the vegetables in. Oh, and my thanks for such selfless devotion to human health :)
You are my hero. I’ved been drinking green smoothies, but somehow unknowingly stopped. That’s bad. Glad I came across your videos, being at home mostly. Due to the pandemic. Thanks so much for all these priceless learning from you. I’ll start again, I’ll buy another Vitamix, my other one is already home in Philippines. RN working in CA for now, scary to fly home, so I’m stucked here for now. More power to you. I usually share my learning and share your videos.
I loved all the tips! I have made protein smoothies with whey protein for years but after watching Forks over Knives I have been switching to a more vegan diet so stumbling across your 30-day challenge with great recipes have come at just the right time for me. Buying green powdered smoothie mixes have had no appeal to me at all. I have always shopped twice a week to keep veggies and fruits fresh, so your 5 day grocery list with recipes and demonstrations of how the portions look (bunch, 1/2 a bunch etc.) and easiest way to remove fruits from skins etc. just simplifies and speeds up the prep time and takes all of the guess work out of it! What a gift! THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming up with this helpful and healthful idea! You are very much appreciated Sergei!!!
I have been doing green smoothies for yrs for breakfast. But I have got in a rut. These are beautiful recipes and will change things up with these new combos! Thanks :)
I have found out that it's too much water added. I am used to thicker smoothies with 8 oz water. Also have gone back to the almond/coconut milks and is creamer.
Thank you Sergei, for your advice at the start. I've been trying too hard to be perfect in doing a vegetable challenge and I have been driving myself mad! I will now relax, accept imperfection and enjoy the journey- with your documentary.
Is the 30 day challenge safe for someone with type 2 diabetes even though there is so much fruit in that 32 oz serving. Won't that raise your blood sugar alot?
@@dorismay4593 I have been using this for just over a month and a half. It seems as if my type 2 diabetes is going on the reverse. I have had to stop taking my diabetic medication. But you have to stick to the smoothie permanently to recover from the diabetes.
I've been adding chard, spinach and kale from my garden, with a banana and cantaloupe every morning to my breakfast. I have more energy at 58, and more ability to focus. Love them. ❤️ Thank you Sergei, you started me on this journey of weeds 2 years ago. I also throw in edible weeds when they're handy!
Just finished the JJ Smith 10-day green detox smoothie challenge. I would like to continue drinking green smoothies daily, and was looking for some new recipes. Thanks for the video.
this is awesome! We have the 3600 vita mix and she works perfectly...still. So we began our 30 day challenge today Sat OCT 27, 2016 about 4;30 PST...day 1 smoothie is awesome! We bought about 95% of our 30 day li of produce today and actually got enuff for the two of us for 60 days!! Lots of food to cut up. and freeze...and amazed what we CAN freeze and still stays fresh. Even learned I can freeze satsuma oranges !! and lemons, limes...hahaha...who knew. And no, those werent part of the list but had lots on hand. Lots of greens can be frozen without blanching too. Thankyou!!!
This is what I'm missing from my vegetarian diet I started about 3 weeks ago. This will increase compliance for sure. Plus, fruits are great...Great video...I'll be looking up the rest of your videos too...
Thank you for such a detailed, well explained video. I love how you show how to make every single recipe. It really is the best kind there is. I will start soon.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SMOOTHIE VIDEO'S. I USE TO WEIGH 392 LBS. I PRESENTLY WEIGHT 346 LBS. I WAS GETTING BORED WITH MY DIET, UNTIL I WATCHED YOUR VIDEOS. BECAUSE OF YOU I KNOW THAT I WILL REACH MY GOAL.
I have done the green smoothie challenge religiously for 7 weeks. I am pretty disappointed I didn't have the results that others did. I have trouble sleeping and that persists. I don't have a lot of aches and pains but I am 60 and I have some and honestly that hasn't changed at all. The only benefit is that I KNOW this is good for me to eat a bunch of greens every day. I have to believe it is doing something if I don't have the results. Honestly if I could sleep I would do ANYTHING! I have a busy stressful job and I need sleep. Lack of sleep prevents me from exercising sometimes, and I am just exhausted. Now I am trying a water challenge and honestly so far that isn't working as promised either
I have done all of it. I was caffeine free for a few years and cut out dairy, gluten, and sugar. I have a pretty healthy diet and I don't eat much in the way of animal products. Something has to work I just have to find it
I don't suffer from fatigue if I sleep, just getting to sleep properly is the problem. Sometimes I do sleep well and it is great but mostly I get 5-6 hours at night
Janine Barclay Might be the issue isn't physical? Alternative therapies like meditation, tai chi, yoga even consider counseling - good health isn't limited to diet~
thank you learn so much today. I healed my arthritis 4 yrs ago without a single medicine and smoothie plays a big part during that time of my healing journey.
i thought i’d share publicly.. i’ve recently made some crazy “smoothie”: tomatoes and horseradish (yes!) in a roughly 2:1 ratio, a little garlic, salt+pepper. YUuuuM!!!
@@nikkitobin8356 Sounds like a dish from a raw vegan diet, thinking of trying that later in the year for 30days, raw vegan diet that is. Now I'm starting off slow with the smoothies, among other things, can't stomach the taste of raw tomatoes, maybe i may like it better mixed with other things, i can just about eat cherry tomatoes and i don't enjoy the taste, just eat it once in a while as i know it is good for me lol.
Thanks for all the recipes! That has been the hardest part for me to keep doing green smoothies, so these are greatly appreciated. Can't wait to start this challenge and see what happens
Thank you so much Sergei. I started making a green smoothie everyday and into just day 3, I noticed I was not having hot flashes like I was. In the last 2 weeks I've had maybe 3 hot flashes and they were minimal. Over the last year, I had been having hot flashes every 2 or 3 hours and they were progressively getting worse. I also have more energy. I'm drinking a green smoothie (Half fruit and half greens with a little Diakon radish) for lunch and then for dinner steamed broccoli with one sardine and one slice of organic sprouted whole grain bread. I find I need the fish oil and just that little bit of animal protein and the bread makes my stomach feel full. I may cut out the bread, but for now it seems to be fine. As for the broccoli, it is a Cruciferous vegetable. I'm about to rotate these vegetables. In my research, all centenarians ate Cruciferous vegetables. They help cell regeneration and help produce enzymes in the liver to eliminate environmental toxins. Thank you for your dedication and making these videos. :) List of Cruciferous Vegetables: www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS801US801&sxsrf=ALeKk01bP3O6Y7CHJzsSvQP9lJXK9QXqAg:1593363420812&q=list+of+cruciferous+vegetables&spell=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi36Mel_aTqAhXTKs0KHXqJCewQBSgAegQIDRAn&biw=1088&bih=504&dpr=1.25 How Cruciferous Vegetables help your health: www.oothy.com/6-foods-will-help-regenerate-stems-cells/#:~:text=6%20Cell%20Regeneration%20Foods&text=Broccoli%20is%20a%20cruciferous%20vegetable,inflammatory%20agents%20in%20the%20blood.
Thank you Sergei for not taking this movie down!!! My mother shared a little your Mother's journey with me & your family's transformation I couldn't wait to come find you. I just started following you & pray my journey is successful as well 🙏🏼
I've been using a Blendtec for more than 10 years and have made a lot of green smoothies. It does a great job and I've never had any issues with it blending what ever I put in it.
Thank you Sergei. This video was educational and FUN! You had me laughing at the end of it. I'm excited to try this 30 Day Challenge especially now that I have all the information I need to be successful in my attempt. Thank you for the shopping lists also. Those lists are very helpful and much appreciated - great time and money savers. Again, thank you!!
I read your moms book Greens for Life & Green Smoothie revolution way back in 2009 I think…and it changed my health and life! By the end of 2011 I was happy, healthy, fit and enjoying life at my natural weight. I don’t eat raw, I love cooked vegetables and I’m a vegetarian, but even by simply adding smoothies my meat eating family also made healthy changes
I’m so happy to find your teachings!! I started making green smoothies last week and your video just confirmed for me why I need them so much. I may even stop my supplements! 😂🤣👍🏻
I bought your book basically because I got so much out of your free online content that I wanted to support you at least that much. I started out with an inexpensive personal blender, to try out the concept. It’s excellent, but small and a little messy, since you can’t pour out the top but must flip it. My vita mix will be here in an hour, so I’m excited! Loving the wild greens daily, too! I really thought I would hate dandelion, but it’s quickly become a regular in our diet. Thanks so much for all your material!
I drink smoothie almost everyday for long time but I love the way you explain and advice not to go so perfect is true that's how works thank you for the video🥰
In my green smoothie I put two hand ful kale and two handful spinch. 1/2 zucchini. one red apple 3 pk stevia. One tablespoon matcha green tea. Turmeric black pepper ane whole lemon juiced yourself. Blend smooth and Enjoy it. I love green smoothies I walking working out. I put more greens in my smoothies. Than fruit when I Detox
When I started doing the smoothie challenge I was afraid that my blood sugar was going to go way up, Because I am prediabetic, but the smoothies gave me a lot of energy so I thought... something that makes me feel so good can’t be bad. So I must say, I am so happy, today is my day 15 and my blood sugar went down to 100. Yeah!!
The key to your videos is the fact you look very healthy!! Your family has been a blessing, I first read about ice bathing from your Mother! I recommend, smoothies, saunas and ice baths for a healthy life!!
I did it before and lost a lit of weight. Knowing I was getting a lot of nutrition was important. Not sure why I've put some weight back on, and why I haven't gone back to what worked before. This might just be the catalyst to get me going. Glad I came across this post. Thanks, Sergei.... edit, what do you think about adding chia seeds?
Thank you So much! I will be going shopping in the next few days then to start this! I have sjorgrens syndrome and when I am severe pain the only thing that has helped me is a day sleeping and drinking a carrot and apple smoothie is all I eat that day ...next day no more pain! So I am sure this will be a life changer! I am 68 yrs old and there is no cure for what I have.
Thanks so much!! Im well past day 30 have lost weight, have learned ALOT, feel healthier and much more informed on produce and what it can do for you. Again, life changing.. Thank you!❤️
This is great, thank you! I'm currently doing this challenge for the month. So far so good and tasty. Filling too. I've tried it using the Nutribullet on one day and the Vitamix blender on another. I prefer the Vitamix as larger and seems to have a more creamier/smooth taste. Still tastes good using the Nutribullet.
Thank you. This is good. I tried green smoothie before. It tasted nasty. But now I know fruits are fine, my green smoothie taste sooooo good now. Actually looking forward to it. :)
This is a great video. Prior watch your video I watch a video about the benefits of celery juicing. Between the two video I believe that I will meet my health and weight goals. Thank you for providing this valuable information.
I’m on my second week. I’m so glad I found you. I never would’ve picked half of this stuff for my smoothies and to my surprise I’ve liked every smoothie so far. Some I liked more than others. I’m excited to test out the rest of your smoothies. I’m so hooked thank you!
Give been on a journey to health. I was about 80 lbs overweight or more. Im 55 years of age. I've lost about 30 lbs. Im going to try this. Im hoping I wont gain and very much hoping I feel better in the mornings. When I get up my body hurts and also i NEVER have energy. I actually have not started excessive Cuz I have no energy and always feel kinda crappy! Hope this helps! Thanks for the great video!!!!

Hi Sergei, thank you for the info. I especially liked that you can still eat what you ate prior to the challenge.
Sergei, can you buy me this Vitamix blender Vitamix 62826 Vita-Prep 3 Food Blender. I really want it, but can't afford it, so will you please buy it for me.

How much weight did you lose?
How do you store the half avocado without oxidation
I am in for the next round
I just started using smoothies for my breakfast. My doctor was happy and surprised when I took the blood test, AIC and even mammogram. She called me and told me, everything in the exams are normal. My AIC, my cholesterol and other things are normal. WOW, i how happy I am for the first time I am 80 years old.
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Taparton Complete Cleanse Takeover (do a google search)? It is a good one off guide for discovering a really effective health cleanse without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
E J, congratulations. You have inspired me 😉
I had the same results I lost 30 pounds and my doctor said my blood test was perfect. I had heart damage from my medicine I take and it healed itself. I believe in the green smoothie. My skin changed too it’s normally dry even in the summer, but it was really moist and I didn’t need Shea butter or virgin coconut out. Keep up with the smoothies they really work.
EEEEEK! I LOVE hearing such wonderful news! 🕺
Wow, awesome and inspiring, you go girl!
Tip: I buy one or two bags of baby spinach at a time, then blend it into liquid (with about 1/2 c of water), then pour it into a couple of ice cube trays. When the recipe calls for spinach, I use about 4 cubes.
Good idea
That’s a really great idea... This idea will spread like wildfire. I will do this. Thank you thank you thank you!
101919571, thanks for the idea, I will look to use this idea the next smoothie because I know for sure this will help me to avoid consumption of time and save my money at the same time and avoid my produce from going bad quick. this is awesome :-) thanks.
Just buy frozen spinach
Where I live (Denmark) every supermarket has frozen spinach and kale. It's easier to always have this in your freezer, and also cheaper :) I also always freeze very ripe bananas to use in smoothies. Frozen bananas give amazing creamy texture :)
TIP: Frozen bananas blended on their own makes a really delicious 'ice cream'. Eat as is, or add cacao powder for a healthy chocolate ice cream :)
Hi Sergei, I took your challenge and I’m feeling soooo much better! My blood glucose level has gone down and my weight is where I want it to be. And now my whole family is doing it together! Thank you so much for changing my life!
You said it would take 3 weeks to feel the effects but I started today and had an energy surge like I would with coffee!! I’m hooked!!!
Sounds great! i totally understand you on the coffee part
Thank you for sharing your recipes! I needed some fresh ideas. 4 of my family members had cancer at the same time. We lost 2 but then I started researching, bought about 50 toxicology and medical books. It was crazy to learn about how toxic the poisons are in our so called food. Plus the non Organic is irradiated with ionizing radiation. Seriously, how can this be legal? What is more crazy is that when I shared this...literally, no one cared. After eating raw plant based, I take zero medications, I now have 20/20 vision, my temperature is back up to normal with no Hashimoto's (thyroiditis) and I have no kidney disease. Plus, at 57 years old, my skin is so nice, I can go without makeup. I love your videos!, I wish I had learned about your family's teaching about 10 years ago! You are awesome!
Use yr vege stems 'n twigs in yr soups, stews gravies az they are ever more so nutritious than de cauliflower, brocoli flower etc.
Fibres , left overs too.... Just freeze them fr yr soup stocks consomnd broth
That is a great testimonial and I wish you continued good health and good juicing. I have to add that the one thing I have noticed with serious juicers apart from their good health is their beautiful skin - men, women and age is irrevelent - beautiful skin.
I cant believe all these recipes are free... u could have made thousand of dollars...but u chose to spread health and love..thank you so much...i m defintely gonna try..have these for my breakfast...
I’ve been making smoothies for over 3 years. I haven’t got a cold, Covid, or the flu because of this. I usually use kale and spinach, bananas, berries and blueberries. I have never had any of those side effects. Lately I have been growing my own sprouts and add them to my smoothies.

its been 60 days since i have made a healthy decision to drink a liter of smoothies everday. I am a seaman and currently onboard for 7mo , when i requested various greens for my private order of 20kg all of my mate laughed at me while they order all other things. Better invest on my health now. thank Sergie
How did it go? I bet your mates weren't laughing in the end lol.
So what happened?
Well over a decade ago, when i first found the benefits of green smoothies, there was a book from a woman named Victoria Boutenko, which was basically THE book on green smoothies.

😱😧Anyone else's heart drop when he threw the 🥭 mango "pit" in the sink to be "composted"? ✋🏾He threw nature's lollipop away! That's the BEST part! 🤗
What do u mean
I started this years ago with your Mom when she was helping your Dad to feel better. Here we are in 2020, in quarantine “and we blend!”
Starting this challenge again tomorrow. Hope your parents are well too. Thanks
Thanks for this 30 day challenge. I started it with my husband in January 2020. We are STILL drinking smoothies daily now in the month of April. Also, my husband had a colonoscopy and he had great results and the doctor said "we will see you in 10 years for another check up"..A simple change for my husband who has diabetes, asthma and HBP, he now looks forward to his smoothie and I have also included my 2 year old son that he now pretends he is making smoothies for me and his daddy haha. Thank you so much!
Awesome!
I was drinking green smoothies for about six months & lost 32llbs . I was weighing 160 lbs before and when as low as 128 lbs.I never felt so good in all my life. Recently, I started experiencing tingling & numbness in the tips of my fingers of both hands & throbbing pain in both calves. I stopped using the green smoothies but the pain & numbness continued. I started exercising doing some brisk walking and started eating sardines, eggs& salmon I am now feeling much better. I now understand from your video since I was using Kale all the time.
So what was going on?

Mr.B. I have NEVER seen anyone do such a WONDERFUL job showing us HOW to make 30 different SMOOTHIES. This is truly the BEST!! You also share why you don't use certain items. Yes, I have subscribed. Love it!! Thanks Mr. B.😊
Sergei, it's only been 7 days and I lost 5 pounds already. Thank you so much for the push.
I stayed up until 1 am watching this last night and tried it this morning! Now I'm a believer and Im HOOKED! Making another one tonight! I had been making smoothies for over 6 years almost daily and refused to add the greens. Thank you so much for this! It was so simple.
Life has been good 30lbs down!
I love how you asked to keep the diet as is and include green smoothie.
Wow I just happened to come across this video. I have learned so much from Victoria Boutanko over the years. I even went to her Green Smoothie lecture before the book was released in 2005. I'm so happy the children continue to push the knowledge forward! Great video.
Wow! I can’t believe that is your mom! About 10 or 15 years ago I was so unhealthy, skinny but sickly. I started incorporating raw foods and smoothies in my diet and I became the healthiest I had ever been. I also at that time read your moms book, greens for life! It was so amazing and encouraging to me. It’s such a great book. Every family should read it! And you were mentioned in there, and it’s so cool to see you in this vid., and still healthy! You are amazing to be showing all of these recipes! I can’t wait to start! Thank you so much! I plan on watching your movie, and getting your book!!!
I have packed on the Covid -19, 20 pounds. Today is the day I will start this challenge.
Me too! I'm on day 3 of The Challenge, trying to get some nutrients into my body! I'm also 'striding out', for some aerobic activity. Hopefully will lose the weight I've gained.
You died ??
@@laurentkevin4689 No. Gained weight. I'm talking about weight gain
Did you lose that weight?
@@Josie-qn9zp I’m getting there down almost 10 pounds. My starting weight was 176
Sergei, thanks for all you do - your generosity of time, talent and wisdom is truly appreciated. So proud of you, been watching you grow up since you lived in Denver !
I'm about 20 days into this and have felt GREAT! I hope everyone will try this. It's even elevated my mood. I'm moving quicker on the basketball court with shorter recovery times. Just picked up some chia seeds to add. I'm no doctor, consult your doctor ( or don't jk) ha, but it's worked for me! Thank you! Thanks for the video. Tip I picked up is to alternate my greens, going to start next!
@Mark Hopper Thats awesome reminds me of a cool study that was done. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4940663/
Love me some chia seed. I am about to start this 30 day challenge.
WatchmanonHiswall p
have you lost any weight ?
@@WatchmanonHiswall good for you im trying to get my relatives to do it with me.
I’m going to do this with my 8yr old! I used to make green smoothies, but always with small amount of fruit. It was a chore to drink so I eventually quit. I believe in the health benefits though so I’m gonna do it. Thank you!
Shopping list 37:16
Day 1 Blending starts @ 38:47
Thank you SO much for making this extremely in-depth movie! 🙏 I loved all of the nutritional/scientifically-based research you included in the beginning. Then when you actually showed yourself making each of the smoothies for the full 30 days…THAT was way more helpful than I thought it could be! I didn’t realize how many of these fruits and greens I am unfamiliar with, and it would have been HELL to try to figure out how I should best prepare/chop them before adding them to the smoothie!
I am starting this TODAY and will be having my children drink smoothies each day as well. Thank you again so much!!
wow,GOD bless U .clear,patient,methodical yet interesting n not without humour or good sense.
I have been doing this for 3 weeks, I am hooked.
I love the idea of NO waste. All is usable. Delicious, yummy healthy smoothies.
I finished the 30 day green smoothie challenge yesterday. I really enjoyed the challenge, and it was a great way to increase you greens intake. After about 6 months I did stop, as I switched to a low-carb, almost carno diet. To get rid of sugars
What was the hardest part of the challenge
@@nikkitobin8356 going to the store every 4 days to get more greens was the most difficult thing. You need a steady supply of alot of greens :)
Did you lose weight? If so how much. Also one last thing do you know if it improved your blood glucose? Thank you.
@@ReggieDable I did lose weight, but I dont know how much, I had been dieting, but weight loss seemed to kick into gear with the smoothies. I dont know about the glucose levels either, but I would guess that this type of addition to your diet would help, as your removing any chance of bad sugars in your morning meal. gl
@@tausenti there's no such thing as 'bad' sugars because it implies that there are 'good' sugars, which is not the case. Feel free to experiment with your smoothies but I suspect they are loaded with fructose. So, if I were you I'd be keeping a close watch on those blood sugar levels and liver function (i.e due to a high risk of development of fatty liver).
Hi Sergei. Thank you so much for the recipe. I have reduced my chronic medication after a month and a half of using the smoothie. It is the remedy I've been seeking for years to overcome my diabetes. Once again, thank you. I'm advising many people here in South Africa.
I deal with terrible anxiety & depression🥺. Just watching this video has CALMED me so much and given me hope. I wail be starting this as soon as I get courage to go to the store. THANK YOU. It's 3:30 am, I think I can sleep now ❤
How are you doing? I have agoraphobia and spend days not leaving my apt. Now I have a friend that has an appt every morning and I go with her almost everyday to make myself get out. It really helps. God Bless 💜💜💜💕💕💕
I was doing this before I seen your video. When you said write down your issues. I had hobbled on my feet for years they were sore especialy at the end on the day. I then relized I no longer have foot pain after many years. Now I hike the mountains with friends family pain free. Thanks for the video.
I've eaten junk and I've eaten green and there's nothing like the green way. Thanks for an excellent video. We continue to learn from it. Thanks for posting.
This has got to be must watch video if you intend making and drinking green smoothies daily. Best video on youtube by far!
I’m in day 3 and feeling great so far...the grocery list is perfect can’t wait to see the end results
I agreed, Vitamix is the best blender for smoothies. Will be beginning my 30 day challenge today!
This dude taught me how to make a ace salad! I thought I knew! but he has this very basic way of showing you have to make a fantastic salad! I love my salads now.
On day 8! Virtual high five 🖐 my energy levels are through the roof and I have that glow like in the Last Dragon 🐉 Let's go!!!
really has cut back my carb cravings and if I have one for breakfast I'm not crazy hungry! And yes aim high but be realistic and gentle on yourself.
Thank you for taking so much time to do this vdo. You are all doing such a great job. I have watched lots of health vdos,, your films are so far the best, well researched and you guys give away so much info freely.Continue blessing others and i wish your entire family and team the very best in everything.
Thank you a million times over for this film. I got so much out of it.
What do you think about adding chia seeds?
If you watched, he said to keep a normal diet. What happens over time is you crave better foods.
Ps: I am from Kenya in Africa. The Vitamix is unavailable here but a have a Nutribullet 600 and it works excellently. I started doing fruit smoothies some time back and in time substituted one meal with the smoothie. Now I have started with green smoothies i will reduce the fruits and add the vegetables in. Oh, and my thanks for such selfless devotion to human health :)
Mambo. Uko aje sai? Still taking the smoothies
You are my hero. I’ved been drinking green smoothies, but somehow unknowingly stopped. That’s bad. Glad I came across your videos, being at home mostly. Due to the pandemic. Thanks so much for all these priceless learning from you. I’ll start again, I’ll buy another Vitamix, my other one is already home in Philippines. RN working in CA for now, scary to fly home, so I’m stucked here for now. More power to you. I usually share my learning and share your videos.
I loved all the tips! I have made protein smoothies with whey protein for years but after watching Forks over Knives I have been switching to a more vegan diet so stumbling across your 30-day challenge with great recipes have come at just the right time for me. Buying green powdered smoothie mixes have had no appeal to me at all. I have always shopped twice a week to keep veggies and fruits fresh, so your 5 day grocery list with recipes and demonstrations of how the portions look (bunch, 1/2 a bunch etc.) and easiest way to remove fruits from skins etc. just simplifies and speeds up the prep time and takes all of the guess work out of it! What a gift! THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming up with this helpful and healthful idea! You are very much appreciated Sergei!!!
I have been doing green smoothies for yrs for breakfast. But I have got in a rut. These are beautiful recipes and will change things up with these new combos! Thanks :)
I have found out that it's too much water added. I am used to thicker smoothies with 8 oz water. Also have gone back to the almond/coconut milks and is creamer.
Thank you Sergei, for your advice at the start. I've been trying too hard to be perfect in doing a vegetable challenge and I have been driving myself mad! I will now relax, accept imperfection and enjoy the journey- with your documentary.
Is the 30 day challenge safe for someone with type 2 diabetes even though there is so much fruit in that 32 oz serving. Won't that raise your blood sugar alot?
@@dorismay4593 I have been using this for just over a month and a half. It seems as if my type 2 diabetes is going on the reverse. I have had to stop taking my diabetic medication. But you have to stick to the smoothie permanently to recover from the diabetes.
I've been adding chard, spinach and kale from my garden, with a banana and cantaloupe every morning to my breakfast. I have more energy at 58, and more ability to focus. Love them. ❤️ Thank you Sergei, you started me on this journey of weeds 2 years ago. I also throw in edible weeds when they're handy!
you should have at least a million subs and views! Great movie, thank you for uploading : )
Working on it!
Just finished the JJ Smith 10-day green detox smoothie challenge. I would like to continue drinking green smoothies daily, and was looking for some new recipes. Thanks for the video.
this is awesome! We have the 3600 vita mix and she works perfectly...still. So we began our 30 day challenge today Sat OCT 27, 2016 about 4;30 PST...day 1 smoothie is awesome! We bought about 95% of our 30 day li of produce today and actually got enuff for the two of us for 60 days!! Lots of food to cut up. and freeze...and amazed what we CAN freeze and still stays fresh. Even learned I can freeze satsuma oranges !! and lemons, limes...hahaha...who knew. And no, those werent part of the list but had lots on hand. Lots of greens can be frozen without blanching too. Thankyou!!!
This is what I'm missing from my vegetarian diet I started about 3 weeks ago. This will increase compliance for sure. Plus, fruits are great...Great video...I'll be looking up the rest of your videos too...
Thank you for such a detailed, well explained video. I love how you show how to make every single recipe. It really is the best kind there is. I will start soon.
Thank you for your videos I will try this looks good love lemons and lime and mint😋
Thank you Sergei! You and your family are a blessing 🙏🏾💝🌱
I have finished the 30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge. Thank you, Sergei.
@Pasta Tasha No, I am already very thin.
@@louis-qm8ce lol did you lose weight no sorry I don’t have that problem I am naturally thin lol
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SMOOTHIE VIDEO'S. I USE TO WEIGH 392 LBS. I PRESENTLY WEIGHT 346 LBS. I WAS GETTING BORED WITH MY DIET, UNTIL I WATCHED YOUR VIDEOS. BECAUSE OF YOU I KNOW THAT I WILL REACH MY GOAL.
I have done the green smoothie challenge religiously for 7 weeks. I am pretty disappointed I didn't have the results that others did. I have trouble sleeping and that persists. I don't have a lot of aches and pains but I am 60 and I have some and honestly that hasn't changed at all. The only benefit is that I KNOW this is good for me to eat a bunch of greens every day. I have to believe it is doing something if I don't have the results. Honestly if I could sleep I would do ANYTHING! I have a busy stressful job and I need sleep. Lack of sleep prevents me from exercising sometimes, and I am just exhausted. Now I am trying a water challenge and honestly so far that isn't working as promised either
Oh, haven't lost weight either lol
No I am not vegan. So green smoothies are only helpful if you are vegan? Sergi says specifically eat how you always did just add green smoothies
I have done all of it. I was caffeine free for a few years and cut out dairy, gluten, and sugar. I have a pretty healthy diet and I don't eat much in the way of animal products. Something has to work I just have to find it
I don't suffer from fatigue if I sleep, just getting to sleep properly is the problem. Sometimes I do sleep well and it is great but mostly I get 5-6 hours at night
Janine Barclay Might be the issue isn't physical? Alternative therapies like meditation, tai chi, yoga even consider counseling - good health isn't limited to diet~
I know one thing, your skin tone is everything !
thanks. I've been looking for this type of info for a long time. great help will try this for 30 days
thank you learn so much today. I healed my arthritis 4 yrs ago without a single medicine and smoothie plays a big part during that time of my healing journey.
i thought i’d share publicly.. i’ve recently made some crazy “smoothie”: tomatoes and horseradish (yes!) in a roughly 2:1 ratio, a little garlic, salt+pepper. YUuuuM!!!
I bet it tastes really good! Like having a V-8!
@@donnaclements6085
Rite
Eugiena
Sounds really good
@@nikkitobin8356 Sounds like a dish from a raw vegan diet, thinking of trying that later in the year for 30days, raw vegan diet that is. Now I'm starting off slow with the smoothies, among other things, can't stomach the taste of raw tomatoes, maybe i may like it better mixed with other things, i can just about eat cherry tomatoes and i don't enjoy the taste, just eat it once in a while as i know it is good for me lol.
Thanks for all the recipes! That has been the hardest part for me to keep doing green smoothies, so these are greatly appreciated. Can't wait to start this challenge and see what happens

Thank you so much Sergei. I started making a green smoothie everyday and into just day 3, I noticed I was not having hot flashes like I was. In the last 2 weeks I've had maybe 3 hot flashes and they were minimal. Over the last year, I had been having hot flashes every 2 or 3 hours and they were progressively getting worse. I also have more energy. I'm drinking a green smoothie (Half fruit and half greens with a little Diakon radish) for lunch and then for dinner steamed broccoli with one sardine and one slice of organic sprouted whole grain bread. I find I need the fish oil and just that little bit of animal protein and the bread makes my stomach feel full. I may cut out the bread, but for now it seems to be fine. As for the broccoli, it is a Cruciferous vegetable. I'm about to rotate these vegetables. In my research, all centenarians ate Cruciferous vegetables. They help cell regeneration and help produce enzymes in the liver to eliminate environmental toxins. Thank you for your dedication and making these videos. :)

Thanks you so much dear Sergei, for taking time to educate us.
Thank you Sergei for not taking this movie down!!! My mother shared a little your Mother's journey with me & your family's transformation I couldn't wait to come find you. I just started following you & pray my journey is successful as well 🙏🏼
You must be the physically strongest human on Earth! I've NEVER seen anyone tear an apple in half with their bare hands 😲!!!
I've been using a Blendtec for more than 10 years and have made a lot of green smoothies. It does a great job and I've never had any issues with it blending what ever I put in it.
Thank you Sergei. This video was educational and FUN! You had me laughing at the end of it. I'm excited to try this 30 Day Challenge especially now that I have all the information I need to be successful in my attempt. Thank you for the shopping lists also. Those lists are very helpful and much appreciated - great time and money savers. Again, thank you!!
Hey Vickie, just wondering how your 30-day challenge went?
I read your moms book Greens for Life & Green Smoothie revolution way back in 2009 I think…and it changed my health and life! By the end of 2011 I was happy, healthy, fit and enjoying life at my natural weight. I don’t eat raw, I love cooked vegetables and I’m a vegetarian, but even by simply adding smoothies my meat eating family also made healthy changes
how old are you? you look like you’re in your 20’s! I think the green smoothies slow down aging
You and your family have a blessed safe rest of your life 🙏💖🌈☺️
Well spoken and with common sense, great Video!
I’m so happy to find your teachings!! I started making green smoothies last week and your video just confirmed for me why I need them so much. I may even stop my supplements! 😂🤣👍🏻
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Your videos have been a game changer for me and my family!
I just started the challenge today. The smoothie tasted a lot better than I thought. Looking forward to better health.
I bought your book basically because I got so much out of your free online content that I wanted to support you at least that much. I started out with an inexpensive personal blender, to try out the concept. It’s excellent, but small and a little messy, since you can’t pour out the top but must flip it. My vita mix will be here in an hour, so I’m excited! Loving the wild greens daily, too! I really thought I would hate dandelion, but it’s quickly become a regular in our diet. Thanks so much for all your material!
Best video ever on making smoothies! Sergie what results have you seen with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, please?
I am most excited to have found this video. I fast at the beginning of every year and was planning to do green smoothies. Thank you for this!!
Amazing!!! Thank you I made it through and i feel the best ive ever felt!!!
I drink smoothie almost everyday for long time but I love the way you explain and advice not to go so perfect is true that's how works thank you for the video🥰
I really enjoyed this exercise and I am going to try it next month.
Thanks man
In my green smoothie I put two hand ful kale and two handful spinch. 1/2 zucchini. one red apple 3 pk stevia. One tablespoon
matcha green tea. Turmeric black pepper ane whole lemon juiced yourself. Blend smooth and Enjoy it. I love green smoothies I walking working out. I put more greens in my smoothies. Than fruit when I Detox
When I started doing the smoothie challenge I was afraid that my blood sugar was going to go way up, Because
I am prediabetic, but the smoothies gave me a lot of energy so I thought... something that makes me feel so good can’t be bad. So I must say, I am so happy, today is my day 15 and my blood sugar went down to 100. Yeah!!
The key to your videos is the fact you look very healthy!! Your family has been a blessing, I first read about ice bathing from your Mother! I recommend, smoothies, saunas and ice baths for a healthy life!!
I did it before and lost a lit of weight. Knowing I was getting a lot of nutrition was important. Not sure why I've put some weight back on, and why I haven't gone back to what worked before. This might just be the catalyst to get me going. Glad I came across this post. Thanks, Sergei.... edit, what do you think about adding chia seeds?
Thank you So much! I will be going shopping in the next few days then to start this! I have sjorgrens syndrome and when I am severe pain the only thing that has helped me is a day sleeping and drinking a carrot and apple smoothie is all I eat that day ...next day no more pain! So I am sure this will be a life changer! I am 68 yrs old and there is no cure for what I have.
Thanks so much!! Im well past day 30 have lost weight, have learned ALOT, feel healthier and much more informed on produce and what it can do for you. Again, life changing.. Thank you!❤️
Gail, thank you for sharing the wonderful news with me! It has made my day.
BoutenkoFilms ❤️
I Iove this idea takes all the pressure off of diets and being perfect
This is great, thank you! I'm currently doing this challenge for the month. So far so good and tasty. Filling too. I've tried it using the Nutribullet on one day and the Vitamix blender on another. I prefer the Vitamix as larger and seems to have a more creamier/smooth taste. Still tastes good using the Nutribullet.
Great background music, Sergei. You look great too. I'm a long-time fan of the Boutenko family. Thanks for all the encouragement in raw foods.
Such a quality film and first class information. Should be a life long habit!
Thank you so much for this video. I do green smoothies once in a while. Will definitely try this challenge. Have eye problems and believe it will help
I have been wanting to start smoothies but did not know how. Thanks for the lessons. Now I know where to start. Thanks.
Thank you. This is good. I tried green smoothie before. It tasted nasty. But now I know fruits are fine, my green smoothie taste sooooo good now. Actually looking forward to it. :)
This is a great video. Prior watch your video I watch a video about the benefits of celery juicing. Between the two video I believe that I will meet my health and weight goals. Thank you for providing this valuable information.
I’m on my second week. I’m so glad I found you. I never would’ve picked half of this stuff for my smoothies and to my surprise I’ve liked every smoothie so far. Some I liked more than others. I’m excited to test out the rest of your smoothies. I’m so hooked thank you!
🍪
Trying this with wild and farmed greens. Loving it. Thank you so much for this challenge.
my Vitamix has been going strong since 1961
thenitap impressive
WOW!!! That is before I was born!!
Wow!!!
Huzzah!!
You don't need a Vitamix people!! Get a Cosori blender or a Blendworks blender. 1600 watts 30,000 RPMS.
Loved your water color fruits & veggies in the opening credits!
you have a lot of fruit in your kitchen, I can see it all off to the side of you while you are providing the recipe for the smoothies lol; I love it.
Give been on a journey to health. I was about 80 lbs overweight or more. Im 55 years of age. I've lost about 30 lbs. Im going to try this. Im hoping I wont gain and very much hoping I feel better in the mornings. When I get up my body hurts and also i NEVER have energy. I actually have not started excessive Cuz I have no energy and always feel kinda crappy! Hope this helps! Thanks for the great video!!!!
