Review - Greenblender Smoothie Box

I decided to try out GreenBlender a couple of months ago because it sounded like a great solution to our ongoing breakfast problem.  The endless issue of my 9 year old not ever wanting to eat in the mornings, complaining about every option.  She loves smoothies so I thought "bingo!" this sounded like a great, easy option.  GreenBlender is a subscription service that delivers 5 smoothie recipes and the pre-portioned ingredients to make 10 smoothies each week.

Here's what the box looked like when I opened it.  Really nicely packaged and all the ingredients were well labeled and super fresh!

They include straws too!

Here are all the ingredients we got for the week.

The dry ingredients too!

Here's the first one we tried all blended up.

Y'all, I wanted to love this so much, but sadly I did not.  The chopped up cashews and other additions that are "chunkier" when blended just made me gag.  I hate the texture.  I think this is for someone who is trying to be way healthier than we are.  I mean, we wanted to be healthier, but it was too much of a leap from our usual smoothies we made with frozen fruit, yogurt and juice.  Baby steps, baby steps.  Now this would be perfect for people who are totally on a clean diet and are looking for some new smoothie recipes and ideas.  I LOVE the idea and the packaging and ingredients were high quality so I would recommend trying it if you are into clean eating!

Meanwhile, the search continues for breakfast options other than cereal...
