  1. Tasty! Love the vibrant color and the banana. The almonds were chunky so I found myself stopping to chew with drinking the smoothie. Used fresh picked spinach and Swiss chard. Thanks!
     
  2. Omg soo much fat in this like is it really necessary for that much coconut oil ?? don’t get me wrong it tasted amazing but the 295 calories it says did not feel like that I’m sooo full from all that fat it did make it very smooth tasting but that amount of coconut oil in comparison to the carb content can’t be healthy it was really good but I’m going to try to cut the oil in half or maybe just do one tablespoon next time. If coconut oil is comparative to butter (2 1/2 tablespoons of butter doesn’t seem to be that much) I should be fine, but it really is a heavy smoothie I’m very full and probably should have saved the other half I drank I’m wondering if the 295 calories is for the whole concoction or a 16 ml glass...
     
  3. Very good!
