     I omitted the protein powder and added a kiwi instead. Was very good! - 3/31/14

     Delicious. I really liked it. I made it with pineapple coconut water. I think the kind of vanilla protein powder you use can make or break this recipe. I will be having this again tomorrow for my 4:30am breakfast. Definitely freeze the pineapples or add ice. - 12/15/14

     Made it with frozen mango since I couldn't find frozen pineapple. Boyfriend and I both love this. Also added half a tablespoon of flaxseed. - 6/13/15

     I love this - I also added a banana - I call a banana bash - its quick , tasty - I drink before hitting the water for two hours of sculling ( rowing) . - 9/11/14

     Made the recipe exactly as written and it tasted great. However, I only got a 16 oz yield. I recalculated the ingredients in case the ones I had were different numbers. My ingredients came in over 600 calories. High fat and high sugar. Will make again but only for a meal replacement after work - 11/9/17

     Skip the protein powder & use fat-free Greek yogurt - more protein, and no artificial ingredients. 1 cup has 23 grams protein, 130 calories, 9 grams carbs, 0 grams fat, 85 mg sodium. But you can use less if you choose. - 4/25/17

     I just made this for breakfast, exactly as written. It was delicious and so smooth. I ate half for breakfast and poured the rest into four popsicle molds for a delicious 65 calorie snack. - 7/14/16

     It is probably creamy because of the avocado. Kiwi is great for added potassium. To me banana has too many carbs. Will try it. - 10/26/14
