Hubs and I widely disagree on this smoothie. He liked what I thought was the odd combination of flavors, while I did not. He called this “tart” and rated it four stars, but that was only after I added sugar, knowing it would need it as I looked over the ingredients. I, on the other hand, would not call it tart; I’d call it sour, even after the sugar – I believe it was the large amount of raspberries and orange juice that made it so. The raspberry-orange-banana flavors in general were oddly mismatched, and just didn’t work well together. I rate it, generously, two stars.

Tart, sweet and delicious. The only thing is there isn't much banana flavor here, but that doesn't make it a bad smoothie.

This is good, and I like the choice of using OJ instead of milk. It gives it a tart freshness that is just right. The only thing I changed was to add half a packet of Splenda to add a touch of sweetness to cut some tartness. In the end, this tastes a lot like sorbet.

Very refreshing!! I don't think it needs any added sugar, just use a ripe banana!

Very good smoothie. Easier to drink after the mixture sits for a bit. A great way to increase calcium intake, particularly if you use calcium fortified orange juice. Thanks!

Great smoothie, but I made a few changes: decreased the orange juice to 1/2 cup, increased the yogurt to 1/2 cup (fat free plain yogurt) and added 1/2 scoop of protein supplement.

This was pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but it was a good smoothie. I had it instead of dessert one night- definitely a healthy and tasty choice! The serving size for this recipe fit into a small glass.

I really like this smoothie. As the description states, it's very versatile (like most smoothies). I've made this twice now, once with orange juice and once with apple juice. Both were very good. Thank you :)
