While I'm all for nutritious drinks, they should be fun to ingest too. This one was barely palatable. It may pack alot of iron and Vitamin A, but the sugar content in this drink counteracts its healthy benefits. A better alternative might be to eat the ingredients individually and as solids, and save yourself the effort of cleaning that juicer. Made for My Three Chefs 2009.
