Awesome smoothie recipe, Sheleana! I going to give this a try, although I may cut back on the banana a bit and toss in some spinach.
Hey Ryan
It’s a really delicious recipe, not sure what it will taste like if you change it but spinach is always a great addition. I would keep the banana in and just add spinach to the mix. We go through a ton of bananas! Yummmm enjoy *hugs* Love S
Hi Sheleana,
Thanks for the awesome recipes and info! Is there a particular type/brand of aloe that you recommend?
Thanks!
Hey Christina
We use Lily of the Desert Aloe, or if you can get a fresh organic aloe plant that’s best.
