Jen Hansard

Jen is a mom of two teens, who’s run across the Grand Canyon 10 times, started a backyard family farm, and learned to fly a plane. Green smoothies were the gateway to a healthier life and the start of her website Simple Green Smoothies.

Her story is one many of us can relate to: the stress of raising a family combined with too much caffeine and processed foods were pointing her in the wrong direction. Then she discovered green smoothies–she embraced this daily healthy habit to fuel her body so she could chase her passion: the great outdoors. 

“Rawkstars” is the unique name for Jen’s community, who get excited to blend raw fruits and vegetables into smoothies. Here, “Raw” means close to nature, minimally processed and nutrient dense. Jen follows a mostly plant-based diet and has published 2 best-selling cookbooks.
