I made 1/2 the amount serving 2 of us. Used hemp seeds in place of the flax. Loved starting my day with this nutritious drink. Thanks!

Great healthy smoothie! My yogurt was frozen so I didn't use the ice cubes. I loved that this was fresh-tasting without being overly sweet. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Mmm mmm - great smoothie. My blender is not the greatest so I started with ground almonds instead of whole. Very nutritious pick-me-up, love the use of green tea.
