I had to make this! It is so yummy and does taste like pie.
Thanks Susan.
I am so glad you gave this a try.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Pie in a glass……does it get any better?! LOL!
I must get some romaine at the store tomorrow to try out this little beauty! Will let you know as soon as I do. Keep that inspiration flowing through you!
Oh, you will LOVE this. It is SOOOO good.
Tess, I made this yesterday and it was SMASHING! I substituted hemp seeds for the cashews and used Vanilla Stevia in place of the vanilla extract and dates. Was lovely! Scott said it smelled like coconut icing and tasted the same too. I highlighted you and the recipe on a post I am publishing tomorrow (July 26, 2012) – my own picture included. Thanks for sharing this! Just lovely! 🙂
Thanks Kibby!
Your blog is coming along SO s’blendedly! I just LOVE it.
I am glad you enjoyed this smoothie. xx
This smoothie was insanely delicious! I didn’t have coconut water so I used light coconut milk. I also didn’t have romaine so used spinach. I halved the recipe since it was just for me and I so wish I had more to drink! I can’t wait to make it again tomorrow!
Wonderful! I love that you enjoyed this smoothie. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience Gail.
Try the pina colada smoothies and pistachio ice cream kale shake. Those will ROCK your world too!
As I suspected it would be…this was absolutely sensational!!
Now on to the next nom nom…
LOL! Yes…..make your way through the goodies this month. There are some DELICIOUS smoothie recipes!
SO glad you enjoyed this one. It is one of my favourites 🙂
I tried one of your savory smoothies (spicy tomato and parsley I think) this morning, and then found this one while I was browsing around and decided to use some of the overripe bananas I had sitting on the counter. It was fantastic! My husband took a sip after he came in from his run this evening and even he loved it (he’s tolerant of my green smoothie obsession, but doesn’t generally participate himself). I’m excited to try some of your other smoothies!
LOL! I LOVE hearing stories like this! Yes, this smoothie is a WINNER. Try the pistachio kale shake and your hubby will be BEGGING for more green smoothies! HA!
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I really appreciate it.
Ha! I’ve made the pistachio one twice now and keep drinking it all before my poor spouse has a chance to try it! One of these days it will happen, though, I’m sure of it!
LOL! If I had a dollar for every time I heard that story about that kale shake. It brings out the greedy pig in everyone! HA!
Ok….I found my new mid day snack!!! Wow Wee!!!!
LOL! Oh, this recipe is TO DIE FOR! SOOO good. Enjoy 🙂
made it, with a not so great blender, it was deelish after a short bit of refrigeration.
Oh, wonderful. Thanks for letting me know this smoothie is still good using a regular blender. That is really helpful information. Glad you enjoyed this smoothie.
Looks AMAZING..fresh and green. But it may need a splash of Malibu rum, just sayin’… 😉
Ha! Love it. It would be amazing with a splash of rum. Enjoy 🙂
Going to try spinach instead of the romaine lettuce!!
Yes! It’s great with spinach. I will put that as an alternative.
I had to use Kale and only had one banana; still, it was absolutely delicious!! I love your recipes Tess!!
Oh yay! So glad it was a hit. Thanks for sharing your blend.
