    The salt comes from the spicy tomato juice -- almost made my hair stand on end when I saw that among the list of ingredients. I'll be tweaking this one because I like the combination of scallops, avocados, and tomato. 8-) - 9/12/16

    Where does all the sodium come from? 670 mg a serving seems like quite a bit, but nearly all of the ingredients are raw, whole foods. There is nothing noted in the nutritional breakdown which is only by calories. - 8/21/16

    I don't have a big blender - I find my smoothie maker works better than my stick blender for this. - 8/13/16
