This smoothie is lacking liquid. Coconut water (without carageenan and NOT ultra-pasteurized) or some orange juice will make it taste less like "you just mowed the lawn." Other than that, it's a great smoothie with lots of bioaccessible nutrients.

We love all these ingredients, and we like funky smoothies, but this was undrinkable. We considered throwing good pineapple after bad to try to save it, but decided it was a waste. Will not recommend, will not make again. Tossed all but a few sips.

"Tasted like I just mowed the lawn"- my girlfriend. I basically threw all the fruit we had in the house to save it. After it became a really gross army green color, it tasted WAY better.

3 Comments below...recipes to loose weight. Its great that you're on a journey to loosing weight, However, cleansing and becoming a smoothie junkie should be about life style not lbs. My advice is that you look at it as a life long change. First you will see the inches drop and then the weight all while becoming healthier. For recipes go to blendergirl.com or alkalinesisters.com

I hate it to say it, but the people complaining clearly have no experience with green smoothies or juices... this tasted similar to all the other ones I have made--aka great! It's definitely an acquired taste, so if this was your first green drink I recommend adding more fruit at first and gradually lessening it over time until you get used to the taste.

I was VERY scared to try this one, but it was surprisingly delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and wouldn't change a thing. I actually ran this through my juicer instead of a blender and it was a very smooth consistency.

I am looking for some other recipes that will help in me and my sister-n-law loosing weight,

Personally, I would use spinach instead of romaine... it has a much more neutral taste. The parsley is sort of strong too so maybe start wtih a few sprigs and work your way up with it. I would DEF add more fruit too . I keep frozen watermelon and use that instead of ice.

I read the review that said that this tasted horrible and got scared haha and I figured the reason was because of the green's residue, so what I did was juice the kale and romaine and blend pineapple, ginger and mango (a whole mango.. oops) and then added the juice to the blender with ice and voila! I know, it's a hassle cause now you have to wash more items but still. It was very good! So, nobody said that green juices were the best but we have to take them, righ?

Terrible. Tasted like a liquid salad. Next time, I'll add more fruit and forget the parsley... also, why romaine and not spinach? I always add spinach to my smoothies, disappointed that I bought a whole head of romaine when I could have just used my gigantic bag of spinach...
