  I love when the kids enjoy these green smoothies! You may get resistance at first, but after they see how tasty they are, you have them hooked. Just like your son!

The recipe was delicious!
I have a question though regarding the health benefits. You mention the benefit of grape seed extract yet the recipie calls for seedless grapes. Why the discrepancy?

  Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy Tanya! It was supposed to say “seeded” grapes. 🙂 I’ve updated so it’s more clear. HAPPY BLENDING!

The smoothie was delicious! But, I have a question…in the recipe it calls for ” seedless red grapes” yet one of the nutritional benefits talks about that from ” grape seed extracts”. Why the discrepancy in the recipe?

Mine came out very green…not sure what I am doing wrong. What is the best way to measure the greens…loosely or tightly packed? My Vitamix seemed bogged down, too. I am totally new to this (my blender and green smoothies both) and really want this new habit to stick…so any help/tips would be greatly appreciated!!

  Hey Didi and welcome! We had to adjust the recipe to be larger and when we added more greens it changed the color a lot, so you’re doing it right! You may need to adjust how you layer the ingredients in your smoothie. Liquids are always first, then soft stuff, then hard (frozen fruit or ice, apples, etc.). Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blade. If it’s still giving you trouble, you may need a bit more liquid. Hope that helps! HAPPY BLENDING!

Can i use seeded grapes in my vitamix?

  Yes absolutely! In fact the seeded grapes provide more nutrition, and a high powered blender such as your Vitamix can pulverize the seeds, making the nutrition readily available for our body to absorb. 🙂 HAPPY BLENDING!

It was too thick for me. I didn’t know we were supposed to add water. I will try it again with more water.

  If the consistency isn’t right, you can always go back and add more water or ice and re-blend! Happy Blending!!
