    Hello Annabelle

    I tried this smoothie last night – it tasted heavenly as I was drinking it but left a very bitter aftertaste – Do you have any idea why

    I drink Kale smoothies all the time with pineapple, banana, mango and orange and don’t have this issue

    Your feedback would be great as it is a perfect smoothie for the fast I am on

    Cheers, Vonnie

      Vonnie, I am not sure why it would be bitter unless some of the ingredients you used were naturally bitter. If this happens again you can maybe add banana, strawberry, vanilla extract or agave syrup to neutralise the bitterness. Hope this helps.
