Looks terrible but tastes pretty good! I used light almond milk and peach yogurt. Sweetener wasn't necessary. - 6/26/14

It really isn't bad. I used strawberry banana yogurt, cocnut milk and mixed frozen fruit, no sweetener was needed. It looked like pea soup,but sure was tasty. - 6/23/14

Husband and I just tried this smoothie and we both thought it was incredible. It was so easy to make. I will make this again to have for late night snacking. I hope this will help in stopping late night bingeing. I really feel satisfied. Thanks for an incredible smoothie!!! - 11/22/13

Delish. I added vanilla protein powder and used cantaloupe for a natural sweetener. Overall, tons of spinach, ice cubes, orange juice, cantaloupes, and a few fresh strawberries. - 8/12/13

this is my first smoothie ever and it's soo good!I can definitely smell the spinach but the taste isn't overpowering or bitter. I used apple juice for my liquid and a packet of splenda to sweeten! - 3/6/13

Tried this several ways already! Used frozen strawberries and also frozen peaches.I prefer using milk, it's less tart. I used Dannon light strawberry yogurt- going to try with vanilla! Also tried with Greek yogurt-ick! Great breakfast-filling! Can't taste the spinach at all! - 7/25/12

I LOVE this smoothie! I used 1% low fat vanilla yogurt, spinach leaves, honey, cran-grape juice, and frozen strawberries. Awesome! I dig this smoothie so much that I shared it on my facebook wall and my weight loss support group. - 7/19/12

This is a really yummy smoothy... i used 1/2 c. of almond milk, which i made, instead of the low-fat yogurt, was really good! - 4/7/11

I usually make a variation of this, adding more berries, soy protein shake powder and almond milk. (this will up ur calories) Sometimes, if I have some on hand I throw in some chopped parsley as well. Lots of protein to keep me from snacking on the wrong foods mid-morning! Thanks for the recipe! - 8/29/10
