Wild Pina Colada Green Smoothie
"In this raw vegan pina colada smoothie, the bitterness of the dandelion greens comes in very handy, and seems to make this smoothie taste like it has alcohol in it. I promise all of the ingredients come together in exactly the right quantities that you would swear this little concoction had a nip of rum in it and you were laying at a beach resort! Trust me, this green smoothie puts the 'dandy' back in the lion. It is TO DIE FOR!"
