  1. This smoothie looks so creamy and refreshing! I love that it is light too – such a perfect way to indulge without over-indulging!

  2. What a groovy smoothie, Chelsea! I know I did a creamsicle-esque smoothie in the winter when I needed a high dose of vitamin c (colds, man, they are the worst) but I love how you “skinny-ified yours and how creamy it looks! 😀 YUM!

    I had this in the morning for breakfast today. WOW. Love it so much!!! Have yet to try a recipe from this site that hasn’t worked out (and I’ve tried tons, lol!)

    1. You are SO sweet to leave such a nice comment!! I am so glad to hear you’ve tried other recipes and enjoyed them. Thanks so much Julia!! 🙂

  4. Hi! I’m not, nor ever have been a fan of creamy orange, but it does sound good. What I really wanted to say, and you don’t have to post this, is I love the napkin, towel or whatever the blue & green fabric is! It would make a beautiful scarf! So what is it and were did you find it?!

  5. Hi, do you happen to know the nutritional information on this, like Carbs, Proteins, Calories? Thanks in advance.

    1. Hi Patty! I just added the nutrition facts to this under the recipe. Hope this helps! Thanks so much! 🙂
