    This smoothie has a mild, smooth flavor. I will be making it again. I used half the vanilla and avocado recommend and I used the juice of two fresh juiced red pears. Yummy

    I found the vanilla extract in the recipe to be too overwhelming and I was disappointed that I couldn't taste the pear nectar as a result. I think I'll stick to fruit smoothies and leave the avocado for my salad!

    Good smooth flavor and creaminess. I used a third of an avocado, if I would have used the whole avocado it would have been too much.

    Anyone know the nutrition for this one?

    The next time I make this I will use less vanilla--I found the flavor to be a bit overpowering.

    This is good...odd, but good. I like the creaminess of it; it tastes very rich and decadent, but then, that's not always what I want first thing in the morning. I think I'd rather stick with one of the other smoothies for breakfast.
