I hate papaya...ug barf But I love mango. You actually do not tast the fruit I think it is in there to disguise the greens taste. Just kidding he put fruit in for the nutritive value. The oregano I can't taste either. I did one smoothie w/ fresh oregano and one with powdered oregano, but with the mustard greens hmmmm I can't really taste anything else. I measure out 1 cup of the smoothie, put that in a blender with an entire apple core and all (not the stem) and some more water to thin it out and I sip it through a straw, give the ole vita-mix a whirl and it's ready for me to drink. Truely not bad at all. The apple really helps a lot.
Have a great day!
:thumbup: :D :shock:

I make all sorts of them now. The only constant thing I have daily is spinach, 1/2 apple,1/2 orange then I add all sorts of other greens. Without the vitamix blender it would be impossible to blend it all so smooth! For those of you that don't know I am a cancer survivor, so this is rather important and my DH is so supportive. :thumbup:
