Yum, sounds healthy. But how do the greens affect the taste? I have been wanting to purchase a blender for a while for this exact purpose but haven't done so as of yet. :scratch:

I think of it like a v8 splash. It has enough fruit that it overpowers the taste of the veggies that you'd normally be subjected to in a regular v8.

I make a smoothie with grapes and spinach and the fruit taste takes over and you don't taste the spinach at all, so I would imagine that the berries (which normally have a stronger taste than grapes) would take over most of the taste.

I'll have to try this one, it sounds yummy!
