I tried one of these today. Very tasty! It's a fruit & vegetable smoothie with kiwi, banana, broccoli, green tea, spinach, etc.

Deeny77 thanks for answering the question regarding Bolthouse Green Goodness Smoothie. They are very tasty. I also like Arthur's Green Energy Smoothie. I buy whichever one is on sale. They look disgusting but are very tasty.

Is this something you buy in a can, or at a shop? Just curious - don't think we have those in the US, but I could be wrong.

I just did a search for the smoothie drink. now that I see the bottle I know that they have it in the produce refrigerated section at WalMart Superstore. I haven't noticed if they have it at other stores or not. At least they have the Bolthouse brand. I'll have to look and see if they have it in the Green Goddess flavor. My daughter buys the berry flavor and make a milk shake using it.

[Deeny77]

They come in a plastic bottle. It says they are from Bakersfield, CA. You can go to their website and find a store near you that carries them. I see quite a few in NY.

Thanks Deeny - I'm going to try to find them - it does say that my stores have them, but I can't recall ever seeing them!

Ok, I did find them, and I bought myself a Green Goodness, a Vanilla Chai Protein one, and then a "Naked" brand blue-goodness type.

The sugar content is a bit high on these - I now see why you only include 1/2 cup at a time, winterstar. Question for you on your breakfasts - are you mixing all that together, eating them all separate, or combining just some?

I tried the blueberry one, and it was pretty tasty. I'll let you know what I think of the others.
