Green smoothies....Yuck!

I'd rather just eat my fruits and veggies...that's what teeth are made for.

So that is what teeth are for.....LOL! These days of juicing and smoothies people may have forgotten. Though I will say that I don't my teeth for my coffee and so many of of practically live off the stuff!

I also have the Ninja from the Q and I think it does a fine job making the smoothies. The smoothie in the morning has helped me cut down the cravings for sweets.

Actually they are so good when fixed properly and ice cold. I like them in the a.m. After getting the kids up and out, I don't have time to sit and eat breakfast so a good green drink really helps. It just blends itself while I'm getting ready and are very filling.

My daughter had one of their green drinks today - they had a $2 trial of them that ended 3/31. I tasted her drink, and almost all I could taste was cucumber. I told her I'd ask if they could cut back on the cucumber in mine, if I ordered that one. She said that it all comes pre-mixed, so you can't order special. I'm wondering (I guess I should go to the site and read) what it is they pre-make ahead of time...and how soon they make it.

I hope people start getting healthy, and it really could be convenient for a green drink here and there...but I couldn't make it a daily purchase at Starbucks to get healthy! I'd go broke...ha!

Why anyone would want a smoothie is beyond me if it is red, green or purple.

The organic smoothies that I make at home are green, blue, purple, orange-depending on which veggies/fruits are predominant. What color should they be?

Kale is so inexpensive at the store. I'd be making my own at home in my own blender - and I don't/won't need a $500 vitamix to do it in either!!!!! I can put whatever fruits and well yeah, other veggies in it too if I so desire!!!!!

No, I think I'd rather spend $6 bucks on a smoothie here and there than to spend $450-$600 on a mixer, go out and buy all the stuff, then have to make it at home myself.

same here.....it is not something i would want to have every day anyways!

Good marketing; smoothies are popular...it will do in a pinch when you are looking for a healthier alternative. For me, I usually stay away from commericial smoothies because I prefer organic produce and if I use a protein powder it is organic and really good quality like Vega or Garden of Life and use organic coconut milk/almond milk or better yet make my own. ..just not cost effective for most restaurants. I realize I am in the minority and I think the product will sell really well. Smoothies are a healthier choice, offers more options, and will appeal to many people.
