I really enjoyed this refreshing drink...I used strawberries instead of the raspberry...yum! I didn't use the ice cubes so wondering if that's why mine was on the thin side...but it sure was tasty...thanks for posting :)

Great recipe Syd, thanks so much for sharing. I really enjoyed this raw, fresh tasting smoothie. Made exactly as written, for a winning glass of iced tea. Made for Think Pink 2011.

I was worried this wouldn't taste right without some sweetness added, but I was wrong! It's very refreshing and has a nice texture(I didn't use the ice because my blender just leaves it in chunks). I would strain the seeds if serving to guests :) Made for PRMR July '11.

Used the ice and eliminated the water. For me, this made the difference between a mostly sunny rather than a partly cloudy day. Yeah, I'm having a blast in mid-life crisis. Made for PRMR.

Verry good and easy to make. I do agree with Sharon that there are a lot of seeds, so I did strain ours before serving. We all enjoyed these.
