GREAT, GREAT COMBO OF FLAVORS here! I'd made a mashed carrot side, so reserved 1/2 a cup to include in this recipe! I made sure everything was well chilled, & the banana frozen), when I put this beverage together! Definitely a keeper of a recipe ~ Thanks for sharing it!

I made, basically, a hafl of this smoothie. I liked it very much but couldn't get the kids to drink more than a sip. That said, I thought it was a tasty way to get lots of fiber and nutrients. Thanks.

This was really good and my 1yo son drank his right up! So thanks! It's hard to figure out what he'll eat. We'll have this again! Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC Tag.
