Only okay for me. Matcha was interesting but not necessarily an improvement.

I enjoy this smoothie! It’s very sweet but refreshing and reminds me of a beach vacation! Would you say chia seeds are as good enough alternative to hemp seeds?

Hey Summer, yes you could use chia seeds if you’d like! Flax seeds would also work well if those are more accessible 🤗

Absolutely scrumptious! I only had almond milk so that’s what I used instead of coconut and soy. Delish!

Surprisingly tasty! Will definitely be making it again!

Tastes amazing🥰 Like all of your smoothies!🤩

I am not the biggest Matcha fan but I LOVE this smoothie - definitely has a unique flavour and I. AM. HERE. FOR IT. I will say it tastes the best when its freshly made, the flavor definitely changes a little if you let it sit over night (which I do and it still tastes delicious), just more match-y and less pineapple-y.

This smoothie and the mocha smoothie are my go-to's - so good.

Thank you for the review, Kirstyn! Smoothies do tend to separate when stored. If you do want to store it though, airtight glass jars work better than general cups usually ✨

So odd... and exciting😯
Naturally, the matcha is very dominant with it’s singular flavour. It’s interesting how the pineapple slowly dampens the matcha and “transforms” the taste😮
I liked this smoothie very much with its’ delicious sweetness and singular signature flavours! I really liked it when I added PUL’s pecan and cranberry granola, but I believe that Healthiest ever granola (?) and Coconut & almond granola would fit even better. Compared with PUL’ s other smoothies, this one lacked a creaminess that I’ve gotten used to. I suppose that it’s partly due to reduced amount of banana🤔
In summary, a very healthy breakfast👏🏼

PUL Team - May 14, 2021, 7:48 p.m.

We totally agree about the pineapple, Louise! Love the idea to use the PUL coconut and almond granola too 😍 Feel free to add more banana, avocado, or some plant-based yogurt next time to add more creaminess 😀

Louise Magnusson🇸🇪 - May 16, 2021, 10:44 a.m.

Oh, the avocado might be a nice addition with the green spinach😯
Thank you! And I just want to add that frozen mango also works! It actually thickens the texture a bit
