No matter WHAT the drink is, if they include even a hint of banana, that's all you're tasting.

This is why Odwalla is the far superior choice. Straight from a juicer - even better.

1. i like banana.
But you're right, there's a problem if every drink tastes like banana.

2. I like bananas on their own, but not so much smoothied.
For instance, the one I'm having now: The "Green Machine". Supposedly has 2.5 apples, 1/3 kiwi, 1/3 mango, hints of pineapple, spinach, wheat grass, parsley, ginger, etc. But what's the overwhelming flavor? That 1/2 a banana . . . over everything.

3. I like juicered fruit drinks, but you're right. I always leave the banana out. Eat it separately.
Bananas are great for you. In fact, God made them perfectly peelable and perfectly sized to fit right down your gagging throat 4000 years ago. But it's a flavor that doesn't blend. So eat that banana separately and have your juicered drink without it.

4. That's why you need to load it up with spiced rum.

5. Yeah, and bananas are not my favorite fruit so I hate that.
Plus they make the drink too thick. Yuck.

6. All their drinks are that way too.
What they also don't tell you is that each bottle is 2 servings, so you're drinking more sugar than Red Bull.
