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.
Shauna on 2025-05-27 (5 stars): Thank you for the recipe! Is collagen powder safe for kids?
Arlene on 2025-02-21 (4 stars): If you use frozen spinach like you have in one of your recipes, do you have to thaw it or you just throw in the blender with everything else frozen?
Shelley on 2025-02-01 (5 stars): How do you keep the almond milk from curdling when using fresh frozen pineapple?
Haley on 2025-01-31 (5 stars): So simple and yummy! I did a bit of frozen mango and then peeled an orange. But the mango/pineapple mix sounds delicious!
Angela on 2025-01-07 (5 stars): Great recipe, just one question - the nutrition information says 202.9 calories for 0/5 recipe serving. Does that mean the 1x quantity is actually 405 calories?
Brie on 2025-01-06 (5 stars): this is delicious! New to green smoothies and love the ratios of this recipe. Love that I am starting my day with a huge helping of fruits and veggies!
