    Loved this smoothie recipe with the adaptions of the other reviews (e.g., almond milk, lime juice, etc.) I also added 2 scoops of whey for a protein punch. Just wish the recipe would have included nutritional values. Did I miss that?

    LOVE this!!! I doubled the banana, 1/2 cup almond milk instead of yogurt since that is what I had on hand. This was before school breakfast for me and the kids, made just the right amount for 4. I will add chia seed next time for added protein but this recipe is a keeper. My 4 year old loved it, and she is not an avocado fan. Creamy with a hint of OJ

    My husband would not eat avocado's before. After making this smoothie once, it was over. He now brings avocado's home all the time. Orange is too acidic for me if I have too much, so, I actually do 6 oz lime juice and 6 oz orange juice, and instead of all honey I make it with 1/8 cup agave and 1/8 cup honey...it's absolutely delicious. Whenever I see avocado's, I know my hubs wants a smoothie for breakfast the next day.

    We loved this smoothie! I used a little less honey than called for, but other than that I stuck with the recipe, didn't measure the ice, just threw it in until I got the consistency I wanted. Great Smoothie!

    Made this it, however I didn't have orange juice I had marmalade, it was good. I think making it how the recipe calls will be very good. Very filling. I felt good about eating this!!
