Loved this one…I had it after a workout…perfect! Ginger made it for me:) 9/10
Great taste. I’m still a little weird about the texture of the avocado in the smoothie, but overall enjoyed it. I think next time, I’ll add a squirt of lemon too. 🙂
Yes I did! I would tell more people about it!
Real good! I give it a 5 star if that is the highest? LOL
