  • this was the best smoothie ive ever had i mean... i love cantaloupe and honeydew instead of putting cinnamon on top I topped it with a strawberry.!!:)
  • This smoothie is VERY filling! I thought it was a bit too sweet with all of the melons, so I suggest putting in a little bit of grapefruit to settle.
  • SOUNDS GOOD!!!!!!!
