  • The best food for summer) I use Oster Pro 1200 to make this smoothie, it is very simple and fast. The recipe is very good and you won't want eat for several ours after that meal. I found my smoothie maker after reading bestadvisor.com/smoothie-maker. I hope it will help you) W

  • Very quick and easy. The almond butter grounds the sweetness of the fruit for a refreshing and filling smoothie. I will definitely make this again!

  • Love making this for a fast, quick and healthy breakfast. Have used spinach, parsley, kale and a combination of other greens too. Instead of using agave syrup I use sweetened almond milk. Have made full and 1/2 versions of the recipe. When I made 1/2 a recipe I had to increase the almond milk to keep the Vitamix going.

  • Outstanding and a great way to get your first serving of veggies. I used baby spinach and it blended perfectly.
