Rated 5 out of 5 by Beach5Girl from Surprise! It's good! My daughter brought her Vitamin home from her time in the Air Force. We made this Alan's Going Greed drink this morning, can't believe how much I like it-even with the jalepeno! The lime, banana, and spinach are fab!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cazzz from Nice recipe Added kale instead of spinach and only a tiny bit of chili just in case, it made a pleasant drink. Will probably have again and maybe try a piece of ginger next time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Makapuni from Best Green Smoothie Ever I made this recipe for 200 colleagues (little 3 oz sample size) and over and over, heard, "That's way better than I thought it would be." I love the variety of flavors. I sometimes use frozen pineapple (bought fresh, cut and frozen by me), frozen bananas, and frozen grapes. Then I just add more water to get the appropriate smoothie-ness.
