I LOVE my Ninja! I have always been scared of Green drinks, I think they get a bad rap! This one does look nice and smooth with no chunks thanks to the Ninja.
Aimee, my two year old hates them but my seven year old loves them. I think the color throws people off but they are so good! And good for you!
I’m sure it is healthy and all, but I cannot get past the fact that it is bright green. My brain rejects it!
Ha! Scott, be brave. With the added fruit it honestly tastes great! Plus it is so good for you. Ninja blends it better than any other machine I’ve used too. I love it!
I love green smoothies!! They are a great way to get the day started or an afternoon pick me up.
I love starting my day with a green smoothie – easy to make and easy clean up too.
I plan to drink more smoothies this Spring and this one looks great! I so need to get a Ninja to make smoothies easier!
I LOVE my Ninja. I can’t believe it, but I was still using my cheapie one from our wedding. It was terrible. I had chunks. It was loud, And it took forever to barely blend well. I will never go back. Ninja is the way to go!
My that does come out to be Kermit green, doesn’t it? I’m not sure I could drink a whole glass of something that green.
Be brave, Patty. You can do it! It is so good and very healthy! 🙂
I love a perfect green smoothie to start the day off with, makes me feel more energized and ready to go.
I actually am going to try this I started juicing and this looks good
