Liked that there was no sugar added to this drink but the lime came through strong, maybe I put more than what was called for. Will make again though. Thanks!

This was good. I used Simply Orange OJ and left out the lime juice. I used frozen strawberries. It was very good - a tiny bit tart though. I scaled the recipe down to 1 1/2 servings me for me for a nice 150 calorie smoothie, so I only put in 1/2 of a banana. Next time I will put in the whole thing for extra sweetness. Thanks for sharing!

WOW!!!!! Love this smoothie. The flavors go well together. A real nice fresh tasting drink. Like that you don't add any sugar. I used some frozen strawberries so that made the drink cold enough that I didn't need to chill.

This is light and frothy. This was enjoyed by DH and DS for breakfast. The orange and banana came through more than other ingredients. Made for BT 2008

You can't go wrong with Ina! I've made this several times using fresh queezed juice/fruit and frozen. The fresh is superb but the frozen straw./commercial o.j. was almost as good, too. Thanks again, Juenessa! Roxygirl
