Refreshing
I made a half recipe and it filled a normal size drinking glass. The celery has a distinct flavor and very nice addition to the flavor. It's low in calories and I will make again for a mid afternoon treat.

It's a good start
I altered the recipe because the pineapple made it too sweet and there wasn't enough protein. Instead, I did:
1/4 Cup Yogurt
1/4 Cup Cottage Cheese
1/2 Cup Pineapple
1/2 Cup Green Grapes
It's more balanced now.

Fresh and tasty
I make this a couple of times a week on half the scale. Before this, I was not a "celery person" but I now regularly have celery on my shopping list. It's fresh, delicious, and very filling. I typically find that I'm less ravenous even hours after having the smoothie.

Great Taste!
This was my first attempt at a smoothie in my Vitamix and didn't disappoint! I didn't have quite enough pineapple so added a few green grapes. The celery gives it a unique taste. Will definitely be making this one again!

Really Liked it
My husband & I tried this recipe as our first smoothie. It has a fresh taste & smell. The celery & pineapple are well balanced. The yogurt doesn't make the smoothie have a chalky taste either.
