The chocolate and pecan flavors are relatively mild, but overall this drink is really quite tasty!

I thought this recipe was delicious. I weighed out 5 oz of spinach, it was great and I wouldn't change anything about it.

This was so good I use frozen chopped kale which gave a better texture.

Also this is high in calories so try not to have it a lot if you trying to lose weight, i like it when i am doing cardio /weight training programs..

Currently, this is my absolute favourite smoothie recipe. It is absolutely fabulous to have a shake that is so nutritious and tastes so amazing!

I usually use frozen chopped kale and I used to use half the amount of kale when using frozen in the recipe, but now I just follow the recipe amount and that works great. I also used to be a little heavy-handed on the cocoa. But like the kale, I am following the recipe as my taste buds are evolving. It still usually needs a little extra liquid (1/2 cup of water following the 2 person recipe) for my preference of thickness.

Excellent! I made as descrbed. I used frozen chopped cale. This reduced the prep work. I might try with half the cherries next time.

Wonderful to enjoy a healthy and almost decadent smoothie.
