Only good things to say about this one! I made it exactly as written and also froze my banana in chunks. I also stuck my avocado in the fridge before making it. This made a HUGE serving - 3 cups of deliciousness all to myself! It could easily be split for 2 people though but very filling as a meal for 1. I couldn't taste the cayenne so I might add slightly more next time but either way this doesn't make or break the smoothie. Very healthy! I might even add in more kale next time too. Read More

Good smoothie but I would have like a slightly sweeter taste by adding honey of some sort Read More

I tried this recipe and I loved it. To make it a little figure friendly. I decided to just use Kale and Banana along with some whey protein powder from the health foods store and water instead of coconut water. This is what I drink after a work out. I love how sweet the banana makes it without adding artificial sweeteners and the Kale has such a fresh taste it may not look pretty but it certainly is a really great pick me up after a hard workout.

Instead of Avocado I used oranges and coconut milk instead of coconut water. Only because I didn't have the other ingredients turned out great. Read More

I should have started making smoothies a long time ago. This was awesome. I didn't think the lemon juice made sense with everything else but it was really good. I made it with almond milk instead of coconut water. Read More
