This was delightful! I made it because I've had trouble kicking a cold and had the expectation of it tasting like something that would help kick a cold. Boy was I wrong! It tasted like a creamsicle! I did add the orange zest as well. Don't know if this changed anything. I'll be making this again!
This is one of my favorite smoothies I’ve had. I sometimes forget the cucumber, or change it up slightly with what I have on hand. For instance I’ve used mango instead of orange with great results. Definitely do not skip on the parsley or ginger. They are the best part!
This is one of my favorite smoothies yet! I subbed in frozen zucchini for the banana, as Sadie mentions in her Mocha smoothie. Really love the parsley and ginger in here as well.
This smoothie is by far my favorite. I just love the parsley and ginger added to the drink. It gives such aa amazing kick to it. All the ingredients just come together so well!
I'd add just the juice from the orange for I find the skins give it a strange texture, but otherwise it's good! I love that you pay great attention to add fats, seeds and spices in your smoothies - it makes them so much more wholesome and delicious!
Great smoothie! It was so tasty and refreshing. I really appreciate the weight measurements so I was able to get the perfect amount of each ingredient. One note, I only added 1 g (or a sixth) of the ginger the recipe calls for. I am not a fan of ginger and this seemed to be the perfect amount for me as I could still faintly taste it but it wasn't a prominent flavor. This is a smoothie I will be making often!
