Incredible and so delicious! Best smoothi I've eve
I can't believe I'd be the type of person who drinks 2 cups of spinach in a smoothie for breakfast. But ever since I got my Vitamix, that's what I have for breakfast every day. It is so incredibly yummy and sweet and refreshing! I leave out the banana (allergic) and it's still amazing. The colour is bright green so not normally what I'd find appealing. But the grape-pineapple flavour is all I can taste.
Hands down the best smoothie I've ever had (and that includes the ones I've had from Jamba Juice and Booster Juice). I add more ice to mine to make it really thick and icy.
I made one for my dad and he loved it until I told him it was full of spinach. lol.
This alone was worth the cost.

BEST Green Drink on the PLANET!!!
I've had sooo many juices, but this one is by far the best tasting one I've ever made. It's got a mix of everything and I feel soooo much better shortly after I drink it, too. I make an entire pitcher and drink 4 big glasses of it because it's that good! Thank you for whoever came up with this recipe. It's something I'd pay a lot of money for at a retail juice place but don't have to now that I have my Vitamix, too :)

Delicious!
I love this recipe. The flavors are perfect. You cannot taste the spinach in it (which is great to me). It's very easy to make and no weird ingredients required.

Very refreshing!
This smoothie is delicious and very refreshing. It's hard to believe that there are two cups of spinach in it because it's just so delicious and juicy. My vitamix did an amazing job of blending everything together. I could not taste the skin on the grapes or the spinach leaves at all. I have had this for 3 mornings in a row now. I love it so much!

Deliciously energizing
I just tried this recipe, and I love it! I didn't have the grapes, so I added 1 whole ripe banana and 1 Cup of pineapple chunks. I also added one slice of lime per another reviewer's recommendation, and it's absolutely delicious. I LOVE my Vitamix and I am SO happy I finally bought one. Zero regrets! I anticipate many years of excellent use and wonderful, nourishing foods!

Most valuable small kitchen appliance ever!
We purchased our Vitamix over 15 years ago and still have a smoothie almost every morning for breakfast! The easiest, tastiest, and healthiest breakfast ever!
