Ali on 2025-07-02 (5 stars): I just made this smoothie for my 82 yo mom and I. She had 1/4 and I had 1/4. We both loved it and said “saving the other halves for tmm. Let’s just say that didn’t happen. We drank it all and actually wanted more 😂😂😂. This recipe is DELICIOUS!!! Used pineapple as the fruit of choice. Will use mango too tmm since we have 2 huge mango trees at home. Sorry for the Long message but this is really, REALLY good. Thank you 🥹🙏🏽🤗
Sabrina on 2025-06-01 (5 stars): LOVEEE this recipe i’m always so scared trying out smoothie recipes because they don’t always end so good but this is def a PERFECT smoothie. instead of water i used almond milk for a little extra nutrition and it’s sooo good, def a new staple for me.
