I am really excited about trying this smoothie. When I bought it today, my counsler said call her and let her know how it is. I am the only one to buy this item.. They have had their March foods for a week so she was concerned about noone buying this item, but hey i was excited. I think it sounds great and could not be more convenient for me for my busy morinings. What do you all think about the smoothie(I have mine on Monday) Thanks

I absolutely loved this smoothie! I had it on Friday. I really like smoothies anyways, and had this one in the car on my way to an appointment. I'm planning on buying a case of them to stock up, but if they're not going to be that popular, I may not have to worry about them running out. More for me.
If you like mixed berry yogurt, you'll really like this. It tastes like those drinkable yogurts you can buy in the store.

I added a frozen banana, a container of yogurt and some ice and blended it into a giant smoothie. It was quite good.

I tried this and it had a funny after taste. It was extremely sweet with a bitter taste. I tried to drink this but I only got three drinks down. I was so sad. I really wanted to like this. I love smoothies!

I get to try it tomorrow. I am going to add a banana and ice and make it liek Jamba Juice. I'll let you know after the weekend.

I found the smoothie very sweet. I bought 2 and will try the other one with a frozen banana and some yougurt in it - great idea! I am on maintenance and like trying the new foods - I thought the smoothie was way overpriced. But would be a good change when you are on the program 7 days a week...

I didn't like the smoothy AT ALL! I took 2 sips, and had my husband finish it for me. I think this is the ONLY JC food I've never been able to finish....
Funny, my husband said I should buy 20 of them for him. I guess he thought it was OK
Best Wishes,

aftertaste is somewhat tart...added some strawberries [ok, berry overkill but I love them anyway!] and it was great!
very convenient for those hectic mornings "-D

I second the motion about blending it with a banana and yogurt.....it's much thicker and yummier that way. I didn't like it plain, it was too thin.

OK, so I added the banana and a ton of ice, blended it all up. It made so much that my partner had a big glass, and I couldn't finish mine. Not because I didn't like it, but because there was too much. I will be getting it again. But I think I will try the strawberries (1/2 a cup) and 1/2 of a banana.

If I wanted a smoothie I'd be on SlimFast. Again. I think I'll skip this one.

I was very shocked that I liked it because I'm not a tofu fan. I tried it plain and it did need a little sweetness, so I added a packet of Splenda and is was great.
The second time I blended it with a light Cherry Yogurt..mmmm
Next time I will try fruit too!
I'm getting one every week until they run out. It's great on a busy day because you can drink it while you're working.

bitter after taste..3 swigs and i could not take anymore.. went down the drain.
maybe if i added a banana or something, but the point of JC is convience, grab and go. really do not have time in the am to mix up stuff.
really wanted to like it too

I love the smoothie!! I added one serving of strawberry yogurt and five frozen strawberries, blended it up...and voila...a wonderful breakfast! I like that it is so different from the other breakfast items at Jenny! I was nervous that it would be like a Slimfast shake...BUT it wasn't. Everyone should not be put off by this item because of it being 'shake-like.'

I really did not care for this. it was sweet, but with a weird aftertaste that did not sit well with me. I also found that drinking breakfast was not as satisfying to me, even though it was the same amount of calories as usual.

I was iffy on the tofu, but I loved the smoothie! I'd rename it, though. It doesn't have the texture of a smoothie. Not to say I didn't like it, though: the texture was great, the flavor was great and it was filling!

I love breakfast smoothies and berries and tofu (even plain). For some reason this didn't have a really natural taste. I also had the feeling that it wasnt' satisfying (maybe because I didn't finish it, and I'm a clean the plate girl...)
Oooh-la-la
I bought one but I haven't tried it yet. I'm hesitant to -- it looks so small for the amount of calories in it. I bought a couple of Dannon Light 'n Fit drinkable yogurt smoothies that seem similar, are pretty big, and have about 80 calories each. I use them sometimes for my milk serving.
I just absolutely cannot see how the Wildberry Smoothie packed so many calories into something with such little fat And all that sugar can't be wonderful for you.
But I dunno, maybe I'll try it tommorrow.

I'm green with envy. I tried the Dannon Light 'n Fit on a recent trip to the States. They were great. I e-mailed Dannon but they aren't anywhere in Canada yet - you folks are so lucky with your extra grocery options!

I love the smoothie plain, but found an even better way to eat it: if you order a strawberry bar or honey oat bar and eat that in the morning, you can freeze the smoothie and eat it like ice cream in the evening!!! It was gorgeous in Chicago this weekend and it was nice to have a cool treat in the evening!!
