Ever wonder if it is possible to prep a month of green smoothies on a budget, using mostly organic produce? Well, I did it and created a TON of frozen smoothie packs to show off to you. I’m all about fueling my body with whole foods, yet I also have to watch our monthly budget.

To do this successfully, I used our 7Day Green Smoothie Challenge shopping list (which makes 7 green smoothie recipes using only 7 ingredients!). Then I invited my friend Erin along for some shopping at Costco, a memberonly, bulkgrocery store to purchase as much organic produce as we could afford, and have enough ingredients to prep a month of green smoothie. *The 7day smoothie challenge is now a rawsome 10DAY Challenge!
